Zakaria 8
1 Inao ty nitsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy:
Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Farahieko ty Tsione, am-parahy miloroloro, vaho farahieko am-pifombo mandofiry.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà: Himpoly mb’e Tsione mb’eo raho vaho himoneñako ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; le hatao ty hoe rovan-katò t’Ierosalaime; naho Haboañe Miavake ty vohi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Thus says the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
4 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mbe ho tendreke te hiambesatse an-tamea’ Ierosalaime ao o androanavio naho o rakemba beio, songa mitoñoñe kobay am-pità’e ty amy ha’antera’ey.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 Le ho lifotse ajalahy naho ampela o kiririsa’ i rovaio mihisa an-kiririsan-drova ao.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Aa kanao fanjàka am-pihaino’ o sehanga’ ondaty retoañeo zay amy àndroy, tsy ho fanjàka a’ masoko ka hao? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? says the LORD of hosts.
7 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Oniño te ho rombaheko amy tane atiñanañe añey naho amy tane ahandrefañe añey ondatikoo;
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 hampoliko mb’etoa, le himoneña’ iareo ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; h’ondatiko iereo vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo an-katò naho an-kavantañan-draho.
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Haozaro o fità’ areoo, ry mahajanjiñe o tsaraem-palie’ o mpitoky tañ’ andro nampijadoñañe ty fahan’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy amo andro rezaoo, soa te hamboareñe i kivohoy.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, all of you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 Ie taolo’ i andro rezay, tsy teo ty nañarama’ ondaty, tsy teo ty nampitoloñe hàre; vaho tsy nierañerañe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake ty amy faloviloviañey; ie nampifandiereko an-drañe’e ondatio.
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
11 F’ie henane zao tsy hanahake tamo andro taoloo amo sehanga’ ondaty retoañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, says the LORD of hosts.
12 Fa hanintsiñe o tabirio, hamokatse o vaheo, hakare’ i taney o nampitomboe’eo naho hatolo’ i likerañey o zono’eo; vaho hampandovàko ty sehanga’ ondatikoo i hene rezay.
For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 Ho tondrok’ amy zay te manahake ty naha-fokom-patse amo kilakila’ ondatio nahareo, ry anjomba’ Iehodà naho ry anjomba’ Israeleo, t’ie ho rombaheko, le ho fitahiañe; ko hembañe fa hafatraro o fità’oo.
And it shall come to pass, that as all of you were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and all of you shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 Aa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hambañe amy nisafiriako hanao raty ama’ areoy, ie nanigìk’ ahy o rae’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy niheveako,
For thus says the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
15 ty nisafirieko henane zao ty hanao soa am’ Ierosalaime naho amy akiba’ Iehoday: ko mangebahebake.
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear all of you not.
16 Inao o hanoe’ areoo: songa mifanaontsia an-katò; mizakà an-kavantañañe naho am-pilongoañe an-dalambei’ areo eo;
These are the things that all of you shall do; Speak all of you every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17 ko mifampikilily añ’arofo; ko inae’ areo ty fanta vilañe; fa hejeko iaby zay, hoe t’Iehovà.
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, says the LORD.
18 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ty lilitse amy volam-paha-efatsey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-limey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-fitoy, vaho ty lilitse amy faha-foloy, le ho firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho famantañan-kafaleañe añ’akiba’ Iehodà ao; aa le kokò ty hatò naho ty fifampilongoañe.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
20 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho tondroke te hivotrake eo ondaty mitozantozañeo naho ty mpimoneñe boak’ an-drova maro;
Thus says the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 le hitotsak’ ami’ty raike o mpimoneñe ami’ty ila’eo, hanao ty hoe: Antao hipay falalàñe am’ Iehovà naho hitsoeke Iehovà’ i Màroy; homb’eo ka raho.
And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
22 Toe maro t’indaty, naho fifeheañe maozatse ty homb’ atoy hipay Iehovà’ i Màroy e Ierosalaime ao, naho hihalaly fañisohañe am’ Iehovà.
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ie amy andro zay, le ho rambese’ t’indaty folo boak’ amy ze hene’ fisaontsi’ o kilalila’ ondatio, eka ho fihine’ iereo ty saro’ ty nte-Iehodà, hanao ty hoe: Hindre ama’o zahay fa jinanji’ay te mitraok’ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
