Zacarias 1
1 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,
In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:
2 “Nakapungtot unay ni Yahweh kadagiti ammayo!
“The LORD was very angry with your fathers.
3 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.
So tell the people that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.’
4 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.
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Turn now from your evil ways and deeds.’ But they did not listen or pay attention to Me, declares the LORD.
5 “Saan kadi nga awanen dagiti ammayo? Ken agtalinaed kadi dagiti profeta iti agnanayon?
Where are your fathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 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.'”
But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? They repented and said, ‘Just as the LORD of Hosts purposed to do to us according to our ways and deeds, so He has done to us.’”
7 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
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.
8 “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.”
I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
9 Kinunak “Apo, ania dagitoy a banbanag?” Ket kinuna ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakitakto kenka no ania dagitoy a banbanag.”
“What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.”
10 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.”
Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.”
11 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.”
And the riders answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.”
12 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?”
Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”
13 Simmungbat ni Yahweh iti anghel a nakisararita kaniak babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sasao, dagiti sasao a pangliwliwa.
So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.
14 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!
Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,
15 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.”
but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’
16 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!”
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares the LORD of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’
17 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.”
Proclaim further that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’”
18 Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti uppat a sara!
Then I looked up and saw four horns.
19 Kinasaritak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ania dagitoy?” Insungbatna kaniak, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, Israel, ken Jerusalem.”
So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he told me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
20 Ket nangipakita kaniak ni Yahweh iti uppat a mammanday.
Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
21 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.”
“What are these coming to do?” I asked. And He replied, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head; but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
