Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
Mawu a Yehova odzudzula dziko la Hadiraki ndi mzinda wa Damasiko pakuti maso a anthu ndiponso mafuko onse a Israeli ali pa Yehova—
2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
ndiponso mzinda wa Hamati, umene ukuchita malire ndi dzikoli, komanso pa Turo ndi Sidoni, ngakhale kuti iwo ndi anzeru kwambiri.
3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Ndipo Turo anadzimangira linga; wadziwunjikira siliva ngati fumbi, ndi golide ngati zinyalala za mʼmisewu.
4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Taonani Ambuye adzamulanda chuma chakecho ndi kuwononga mphamvu zake mʼnyanja, ndipo adzapserera ndi moto.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Mzinda wa Asikeloni udzaona zimenezi, nʼkuchita mantha; Gaza adzanjenjemera ndi ululu, chimodzimodzinso Ekroni, chifukwa chiyembekezo chake chidzatheratu. Mfumu ya ku Gaza idzaphedwa ndipo Asikeloni adzakhala opanda anthu.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
Mu Asidodi mudzakhala mlendo, ndipo ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa Afilisti.
7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Ndidzachotsa nyama ya magazi mʼkamwa mwawo, chakudya choletsedwa mʼmano mwawo. Amene atsala adzakhala anthu a Mulungu wathu, adzasanduka atsogoleri mu Yuda, ndipo Ekroni adzakhala ngati Ayebusi.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
Koma Ine ndidzalondera Nyumba yanga ndi kuyiteteza kwa ankhondo osakaza. Palibenso mdani amene adzagonjetse anthu anga, pakuti tsopano ndikuwayangʼanira.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Sangalala kwambiri, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni! Fuwula, mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu! Taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yolungama ndi yogonjetsa adani, yodzichepetsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa mwana wamphongo wa bulu.
10 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.
Ndidzachotsa magaleta ankhondo ku Efereimu ndi akavalo ankhondo ku Yerusalemu, ndipo uta wankhondo udzathyoka. Mfumuyo idzabweretsa mtendere pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Ulamuliro wake udzayambira ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja ina, ndipo kuchokera ku Mtsinje (Yufurate) mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Tsono kunena za iwe, chifukwa cha magazi a pangano lako ndi Ine, ndidzamasula amʼndende ako, ndidzawatulutsa mʼdzenje lopanda madzi.
12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
Bwererani ku malo anu otetezedwa, inu amʼndende achiyembekezo; ngakhale tsopano ndikulengeza kuti ndidzakubwezerani zabwino mowirikiza.
13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
Ndidzakoka Yuda monga ndimakokera uta wanga, ndipo Efereimu ndiye muvi wake. Ndidzadzutsa ana ako iwe Ziyoni, kulimbana ndi ana ako iwe Grisi, ndipo ndidzakusandutsa iwe lupanga la munthu wankhondo.
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.
Pamenepo Yehova adzaonekera kwa anthu ake; mivi yake idzangʼanima ngati chingʼaningʼani. Ambuye Yehova adzaliza lipenga; ndipo adzayenda mu mkuntho wochokera kummwera,
15 Jehovah 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 from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
ndipo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawateteza. Iwo adzawononga ndipo adzagonjetsa ndi miyala ya legeni. Adzamwa magazi ndi kubangula ngati amwa vinyo; magazi adzayenderera ngati a mʼmbale yowazira magazi pa ngodya za guwa lansembe.
16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawapulumutsa pakuti anthu ake ali ngati nkhosa. Adzanyezimira mʼdziko lake ngati miyala yokongola pa chipewa chaufumu.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
Taonani chikoka ndi kukongola kwawo! Tirigu adzasangalatsa anyamata, ndi vinyo watsopano anamwali.
