Zechariah 1

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

Iti maikawalo a bulan iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni profeta Zacarias a putot ni Barakias a putot ni Iddo a kunana,

2 “Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.

“Nakapungtot unay ni Yahweh kadagiti ammayo!

3 Therefore tell them, Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Return to me,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Agsublikayo kaniak!”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin!“—”ket agsubliak kadakayo!” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.

4 Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Return now from your evil ways and from your evil doings;’ but they didn’t hear nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

Saanyo koma a tuladen dagiti ammayo nga imun-una a binagaan dagiti profeta, a kunada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: isardengyon dagiti dakes a wagasyo ken dagiti nadangkes nga aramidyo!” Ngem saanda a dimngeg ken saandak nga impangag.”' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.

5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

“Saan kadi nga awanen dagiti ammayo? Ken agtalinaed kadi dagiti profeta iti agnanayon?

6 But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers? “Then they repented and said, ‘Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.’”

Ngem saan kadi a sinagaba dagiti ammayo ti subad iti panagsukirda kadagiti sasaok ken paglintegak nga imbilinko kadagiti adipenko a profeta? Nagbabawida ngarud ket kinunada, 'Kas iti pinanggep ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin nga aramiden kadatayo gapu kadagiti wagas ken tigtignaytayo, isu ti inaramidna kadatayo.'”

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,

Iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario, iti maika-dua pulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maikasangapulo ket maysa a bulan, a bulan ti Sebat, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni profeta Zacarias a putot ni Barakias a putot ni Iddo a kunana

8 “I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

“Iti rabii, adtoy, nakitak ti maysa a lalaki a nakasakay iti nalabaga a kabalio, ket adda isuna kadagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong nga adda iti tanap; ket adda iti likudanna dagiti nalabaga, alazan ken puraw a kabalio.”

9 Then I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?’” The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.”

Kinunak “Apo, ania dagitoy a banbanag?” Ket kinuna ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakitakto kenka no ania dagitoy a banbanag.”

10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth.”

Ket simmungbat ti lalaki a nakatakder iti ayan dagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong a kunana, “Dagitoy dagiti imbaon ni Yahweh nga agsursor iti entero a daga.”

11 They reported to Yahweh’s angel who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.”

Simmungbatda iti anghel ni Yahweh a nakatakder iti ayan dagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong; kinunada kenkuana, “Sursursorenmin ti entero a daga; kitaem, agal-aliwaksay dagiti amin a daga.”

12 Then Yahweh’s angel replied, “O Yahweh of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?”

Ket simmungbat ti anghel ni Yahweh a kunana, “O Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, kasano kadi pay kabayag ti panangipakitam iti saanmo a panangngaasi iti Jerusalem ken kadagiti siudad ti Juda a nagsagaba iti pungtotmo iti pitopulo a tawen?”

13 Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

Simmungbat ni Yahweh iti anghel a nakisararita kaniak babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sasao, dagiti sasao a pangliwliwa.

14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Ket kinuna kaniak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakaammom daytoy, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Kasta unay ti pakaseknak iti Jerusalem ken iti Sion!

15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”

Ket napalalo ti pungtotko kadagiti nasion a nanam-ay; ta saanak unay a nakaunget iti Juda, ngem kinarkaro dagitoy a nasion ti panagsagaba ti Juda.”

16 Therefore Yahweh says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’

Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Nagsubliak iti Jerusalem nga addaan iti asi. Maipatakderto ti balayko iti daytoy”'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin—”ket maibinnatto ti tali a pagrukod iti entero a Jerusalem!”

17 “Proclaim further, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

Ipakaammom pay daytoy, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin- amin: 'Rumang-ayto manen dagiti siudadko, ket liwliwaento manen ni Yahweh ti Sion, ken piliennanto manen ti Jerusalem.”

18 I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns.

Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti uppat a sara!

19 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

Kinasaritak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ania dagitoy?” Insungbatna kaniak, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, Israel, ken Jerusalem.”

20 Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.

Ket nangipakita kaniak ni Yahweh iti uppat a mammanday.

21 Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

Kinunak, “Ania ti umay aramiden dagitoy a tattao?” Insungbatna, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, isu a nagsagabada iti nakaro. Ngem immay dagitoy a tattao tapno pagtalawen dagiti nasion, tapno parmekenda dagiti armada dagiti nasion a nangraut iti daga ti Juda tapno iwarawarada daytoy.”
