Zechariah 7

1 It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.

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 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat the LORD's favor,

Imbaon dagiti tattao ti Betel da Sarezer ken Regemmelek agraman dagiti tattaoda a mapan agkiddaw iti pabor kenni Yahweh.

3 and to speak to the cohanim of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so 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 Then 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 all the people of the land, and to the cohanim, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really 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 When you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

Ken idi nangan ken imminumkayo, saan kadi a nangan ken imminumkayo para kadagiti bagbagiyo laeng?

7 Aren't these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the Negev and the lowland were 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 The word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,

Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Zacarias a kunana,

9 "Thus has the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to 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 Do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'

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 listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

Ngem saanda nga impangag ken saanda a kayat nga agtulnog; inapputanda dagiti lapayagda tapno saanda a mangngeg.

12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his Ruach by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.

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 It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said the LORD of hosts;

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 "but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."

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.'”
