< Zechariah 9 >

1 Pa inge kas in sulkakinyuk sin LEUM GOD: El orala tari sie sap fulat lal in kalyei acn Hadrach ac siti Damascus. Tia sruf lun Israel mukena pa ma lun LEUM GOD, a siti fulat se lun acn Syria ma pac lal.
The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for the LORD'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Israel.
2 Acn Hamath, su masrol nu Hadrach, oayapa siti lun Tyre ac Sidon wi kain in usrnguk nukewa yorolos, ma pac lal.
And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.
3 Acn Tyre musaela mwe akkeye pot ku lal, ac yohk pac silver ac gold lal, oru pilasr oana puk weacn uh.
And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac fah eisla ma inge nukewa. El ac fah sisla mwe kasrup lun acn we nu in meoa uh, ac siti sac ac fah firirla nu infohk uh.
Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Siti Ashkelon ac fah liye ma inge ac sangeng. Ac siti Gaza ac fah liye ac keok ke waiok lulap. Acn Ekron ac fah liye pac, ac ma nukewa el finsrak nu kac ac wanginla nufon. Tokosra lun Gaza ac fah anwuki, ac Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet we.
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 Kain in tafun mwet puspis fah muta in Ashdod. LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah akpusiselyela mwet inse fulat lun acn Philistia inge.
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Elos ac tia sifil kang ikwa ma srakna srahsra, ku kutena kain mwe mongo saya ma tia lela in mongo. Mwet nukewa ma painmoulla uh ac fah wela mwet luk, ac elos fah oana sie sou in sruf lun Judah. Ekron ac fah wela pac mwet luk, oana ke mwet Jebus elos tuh oru meet ah.
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Nga fah liyaung acn sik, ac karingin tuh mwet mweun in tia fahsr sasla fin acn uh. Nga ac fah tia lela mwet kol sulallal in sifilpa akkeokye mwet luk. Nga liye tari lupan keok lun mwet luk.
And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.
9 Enganak! Kowos mwet Zion, enganak! Sasa ke engan, kowos mwet Jerusalem! Liye, tokosra lowos el tuku nu yuruwos! El tuku ke ku lulap ac kutangla, Tusruktu el pusisel ac el muta fin soko donkey — Aok, fin soko donkey fusr.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah sisla chariot in mweun liki Israel, Ac eisla horse uh liki Jerusalem; Mwe pisr su orekmakinyuk ke mweun ac fah kunausyukla. Tokosra lowos el ac fah orek misla inmasrlon mutunfacl; El fah leumi liki sie meoa nu ke sie pac meoa, Mutawauk Infacl Euphrates lac nwe ke saflaiyen faclu.”
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke sripen wuleang luk yuruwos, Su tuh akkeyeyukla ke srah lun mwe kisa uh, Nga fah aksukosokye mwet lowos — Liki luf lun sruoh, su oana sie lufin kof ma wangin kof loac.
As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Foloko, kowos mwet sruoh su oasr finsrak yoro in pacl inge uh; Foloko nu yen suwos, yen kowos ac moul in misla we. Inge nga fahk nu suwos tuh nga fah sifil folokin nu suwos mwe insewowo pacl luo yohk liki, Ke sripen ma nukewa kowos tuh keok kac.
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
13 Nga fah orekmakin Judah oana sie mwe pisr nutin sie mwet mweun, Ac Israel oana soko sukan pisr. Nga fah orekmakin mwet mukul in Zion oana sie cutlass, In mweuni mwet Greece.”
For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 LEUM GOD El ac fah sikyak lucng liki mwet lal, Ac pisrik sukan pisr natul oana sarom uh. LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fah ukya mwe ukuk; El ac fah tuku in ku lal in sie paka liki acn eir.
And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah loangela mwet lal, Ac elos ac fah kunausla mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos ac fah sasa in mweun oana mwet sruhi uh, Ac elos fah aksororyela srahn mwet lokoalok lalos. Ac srah uh ac fah soror oana srah in sie mwe kisa, Su okwoki nu fin loang uh in sie pol!
The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.
16 Ke len sac ac tuku uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah molela mwet lal, Oana ke sie mwet shepherd el molela un kosro natul liki mwe sensen uh. Elos ac fah saromrom in acn sel Oana wek saok ke sie tefuro.
And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.
17 Ac fuka lupan wo ac oasku lun acn sac! Mwet fusr ac fah kapak ac fokokoi ke wheat ac wain lun acn we.
For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
