Zechariah 8
1 And the word of Jehovah of hosts came [unto me], saying,
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Ipatpategko ti Sion iti nasged nga ayat, ipatpategko unay daytoy ken nakapungtotak unay kadagiti kabusorna!'
3 Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called, The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Agsubliakto iti Sion ket agnaedakto iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, ta maawaganto ti Jerusalem a Ti Siudad ti Kinapudno ken maawaganto ti bantay ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Nasantoan a Bantay!”
4 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Addanto manen dagiti lallakay ken babbaket kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem, ket agkasapulanto ti tunggal tao iti sarukod gapu iti kinalakayna wenno kinabaketna.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
Ken mapnonto dagiti kalsada ti siudad kadagiti ubbing a lallaki ken babbai nga agay-ayam kadagitoy.”'
6 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be wonderful in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, no adda iti kasla saan a nakapappapati iti imatang dagiti nakalasat a tattao ti Juda, kasla saan met kadi a nakapappapati daytoy iti imatangko?'”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Adtoy, umadanin ti panangispalko kadagiti tattaok iti daga a pagsingisingan ken paglennekan ti init!
8 and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Gapu ta isublikto ida, ket agnaeddanto iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, isu nga agbalindanto manen a tattaok, ket siakto ti Diosda iti kinapudno ken iti kinalinteg!’”
9 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Dakayo nga agtultuloy a makangkangngeg ita kadagiti isu met laeng a sasao manipud kadagiti profeta idi naisaad ti pundasion ti balayko—daytoy a balayko, a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Pakirdenyo ti pakinakemyo tapno maipatakder ti templo.
10 For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.
Ta sakbay dagidiay nga al-aldaw, awan ti mula a maapit ti siasinoman; awanto ti magunggona ti tao wenno ayup. Ken awan ti kappia iti siasinoman a rummuar ken umuneg gapu kadagiti kabusor. Pinagbibinnusorko dagiti amin a tattao.
11 But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts;
Ngem ita, saanen a kas kadagiti napalabas nga al-aldaw; makikaaddaakto kadagiti tattao a nakasubli manipud iti pannakaitalaw a kas balud!”' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
12 for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
'“Ta natalgedto dagiti tattao nga agmula kadagiti bukel. Agbunganto dagiti agkalatkat nga ubas ket adunto ti maapit kadagiti talon. Ipaayto dagiti tangatang dagiti linnaawda, ta ipatawidkonto amin dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti tattao a nakasubli manipud iti pannakaitalaw a kas balud.
13 And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong.
Dakayo ti pangipadaan dagiti dadduma a nasion iti pannakailunod, balay ti Juda ken balay ti Israel. Ngem ispalenlayonto ket bendisionankayonto. Saankayo nga agbuteng; agbalinkayo koma a napigsa ken natured!”’
14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Like as I thought to do you evil when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;
“Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kas iti panangpanggepko a mangdusa kadakayo idi pinagpungtotdak dagiti kapuonanyo,' ket saan a bimmaaw, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin,
15 so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
isu a panggepko kadagitoy nga al-aldaw a mangaramid manen iti naimbag iti Jerusalem ken iti balay ti Juda! Saankayo nga agbuteng!
16 These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates;
Dagitoy ti masapul nga aramidenyo: Agsaokayo iti pudno, tunggal tao iti kaarrubana. Mangukomkayo a sipupudno, sililinteg, ken sitatalna kadagiti pangukomanyo.
17 and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are [things] that I hate, saith Jehovah.
Ket awan koma ti agpanggep iti dakes kadagiti kaarrubayo, wenno anamungan dagiti palso a sapata; ta kagurak amin dagitoy a banbanag!'” Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
18 And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
Ket immay kaniak ti mensahe ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
19 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month] and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful gatherings. Love ye then truth and peace.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Dagiti panagayunar iti maikapat, iti maikalima, iti maikapito ken iti maikasangapulo a bulan ket agbalinto a tiempo iti panagrag-o, kinaragsak, ken naragsak a fiesta dagiti tattao ti Juda! Ngarud, ayatenyo ti kinapudno ken kappia!”
20 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Mapanto manen dagiti tattao idiay Jerusalem, uray dagiti agnanaed kadagiti adu a nadumaduma a siudad.
21 and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to supplicate Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also.
Mapanto iti sabali a siudad dagiti agnanaed iti maysa a siudad ket kunada, “Pardasantayo ti mapan agkiddaw iti bendision kenni Yahweh ken agdayaw kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! Mapankami met.'”
22 And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to supplicate Jehovah.
Adunto a tattao ken nabibileg a nasion ti mapan idiay Jerusalem tapno agdayaw kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ken agkiddaw iti bendision kenni Yahweh!”
23 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days shall ten men take hold, out of all languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard [that] God is with you.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, sangapulo a lallaki manipud iti amin a pagsasao ken nasion ti kumpet iti gayadan ti kagaymo ket kunada, “Ipalubosmo a makikuyogkami kenka, gapu ta nangngeganmi nga adda kenka ti Dios!"”'
