Zechariah 7
1 And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu,
Ó sì ṣe ní ọdún kẹrin Dariusi ọba, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ́ Sekariah wá ni ọjọ́ kẹrin oṣù Kisleu tí ń ṣe oṣù kẹsànán.
2 For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord,
Nígbà tí wọ́n ènìyàn Beteli rán Ṣareseri àti Regemmeleki, àti àwọn ènìyàn wọn sí ilé Ọlọ́run láti wá ojúrere Olúwa.
3 And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres?
Àti láti bá àwọn àlùfáà tí ó wà ní ilé Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, àti àwọn wòlíì sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Ṣé kí èmi ó sọkún ní oṣù karùn-ún kí èmi ya ara mi sọ́tọ̀, bí mo ti ń ṣe láti ọdún mélòó wọ̀nyí wá bí?”
4 Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tọ̀ mí wá pé,
5 Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it?
“Sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà, àti fún àwọn àlùfáà pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin gbààwẹ̀, tí ẹ sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ ní oṣù karùn-ún àti keje, àní fun àádọ́rin ọdún wọ̀nyí, ǹjẹ́ èmi ni ẹ̀yin ha ń gbààwẹ̀ yín fún?
6 And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?
Nígbà tí ẹ sì jẹ, àti nígbà tí ẹ mu, fún ara yín kọ́ ni ẹ̀yin jẹ, àti fún ara yín kọ́ ni ẹ̀yin mú bí?
7 Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited?
Wọ̀nyí kọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ ti Olúwa ti kígbe láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn wòlíì ìṣáájú wá, nígbà tí a ń gbé Jerusalẹmu, tí ó sì wà ní àlàáfíà, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ tí ó yí i káàkiri, nígbà tí a ń gbé gúúsù àti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.’”
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Sekariah wá, wí pé,
9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother,
“Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Ṣe ìdájọ́ òtítọ́, kí ẹ sì ṣe àánú àti ìyọ́nú olúkúlùkù sí arákùnrin rẹ̀.
10 And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart.
Má sì ṣe ni opó lára tàbí aláìní baba, àlejò, tàbí tálákà; kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín má ṣe gbèrò ibi ní ọkàn sí arákùnrin rẹ̀.’
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
“Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kọ̀ láti gbọ́, wọ́n sì gún èjìká, wọ́n sì pa ẹ̀yìn dà, wọ́n di etí wọn, kí wọn má ba à gbọ́.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes.
Wọ́n sé ọkàn wọn bí òkúta líle, kí wọn má ba à gbọ́ òfin, àti ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ rán nípa ọwọ́ àwọn wòlíì ìṣáájú wá. Ìbínú ńlá sì dé láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
13 Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes.
“‘Ó sì ṣe, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti kígbe, tí wọn kò sì fẹ́ gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kígbe, tí èmi kò sì fẹ́ gbọ́,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
14 But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.
‘Mo sì fi ìjì tú wọn ká sí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọn kò mọ̀. Ilẹ̀ náà sì dahoro lẹ́yìn wọn, tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò là á kọjá tàbí kí ó padà bọ̀, wọ́n sì sọ ilẹ̀ ààyò náà dahoro.’”
