< Zacharias 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.
Iti maikapat a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Dario, iti maikapat nga aldaw ti Kislev (nga isu ti maikasiam a bulan), immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Zacarias.
2 And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate the Lord,
Imbaon dagiti tattao ti Betel da Sarezer ken Regemmelek agraman dagiti tattaoda a mapan agkiddaw iti pabor kenni Yahweh.
3 speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.
Nakisaritada kadagiti papadi nga adda iti balay ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ken kadagiti profeta; kinunada, “Rumbeng kadi nga agladingitak iti maikalima a bulan babaen iti panagayunar, kas iti inar-aramidko kadagiti adu a tawtawen?”
4 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
Isu nga immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
5 Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yes, behold, these seventy years) have you at all fasted to me?
“Kasaritam dagiti amin a tattao iti daga ken dagiti papadi ket ibagam, 'Idi nagayunar ken nagladingitkayo iti maikalima ken iti maikapito a bulan kadagitoy a pitopulo a tawen, pudno kadi a nagay-ayunarkayo a para kaniak?
6 And if you eat or drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves?
Ken idi nangan ken imminumkayo, saan kadi a nangan ken imminumkayo para kadagiti bagbagiyo laeng?
7 Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited?
Saan kadi a dagitoy met laeng a sasao ti impakaammo ni Yahweh babaen kadagiti immun-una a profeta, idi agnanaedkayo pay laeng a narang-ay idiay Jerusalem ken kadagiti kabangibang a siudad ken nagtaeng idiay Negev, ken kadagiti arisadsad ti turod iti laud?”'
8 And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Zacarias a kunana,
9 Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgement, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother:
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Nalinteg koma ti panangukomyo, napudnokayo iti tulag ken agbalinkayo a naasi. Aramiden koma daytoy ti tunggal tao para iti kabsatna.
10 and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.
No maipapan iti balo ken ulila, ti ganggannaet, ken ti nakurapay a tao—saanyo ida a parigaten. Ken tapno saankayo a makaaramid iti aniaman a dakes iti tunggal maysa—masapul a saankayo nga agpanggep iti pusoyo nga agaramid iti dakes.'
11 But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.
Ngem saanda nga impangag ken saanda a kayat nga agtulnog; inapputanda dagiti lapayagda tapno saanda a mangngeg.
12 And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to listen to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.
Inkeddengda a saanda a dumngeg iti linteg wenno kadagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. Impatulodna dagitoy a mensahe kadagiti tattao babaen iti Espirituna idi un-unana a tiempo, babaen kadagiti sasao dagiti profeta. Ngem saan a dimngeg dagiti tattao, isu a nakapungtot unay kadakuada ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
13 And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they listened not, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty.
Ket napasamak nga idi immawag isuna, saanda a dimngeg. 'Iti isu met laeng a wagas, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'umawagdanto kaniak, ngem saanakto a dumngeg.
14 And I will cast them out amongst all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yes they have made the choice land a desolation.
Gapu ta iwarawarakto ida babaen iti alipugpog kadagiti amin a nasion a saanda pay a nakitkita, ket kalpasanda a maiwarawara, agbalinto a langalang ti daga. Ta awanto ti tao nga agdaliasat iti daga wenno agsubli iti daytoy agsipud ta pinagbalin dagiti tattao ti makaay-ayo a dagada iti maysa a langalang a daga.'”
