< 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, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 “Nakapungtot unay ni Yahweh kadagiti ammayo!
The Lord hath been sore displeased 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.
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith 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.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord.
5 “Saan kadi nga awanen dagiti ammayo? Ken agtalinaed kadi dagiti profeta iti agnanayon?
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
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 my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with 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
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
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 saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Kinunak “Apo, ania dagitoy a banbanag?” Ket kinuna ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakitakto kenka no ania dagitoy a banbanag.”
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
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.”
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through 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 they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
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 answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 Simmungbat ni Yahweh iti anghel a nakisararita kaniak babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sasao, dagiti sasao a pangliwliwa.
And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
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!
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
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.”
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
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 thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon 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.”
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti uppat a sara!
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 Kinasaritak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ania dagitoy?” Insungbatna kaniak, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, Israel, ken Jerusalem.”
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Ket nangipakita kaniak ni Yahweh iti uppat a mammanday.
And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.
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.”
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
