Zechariah 1

Tamin'ny volana fahavalo tamin'ny taona faharoa nanjakan'i Dariosa no nahatongavan'ny tenin'i Jehovah tamin'i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak'i Berekia, zanak'Ido, nanao hoe:

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,

Tezitra indrindra tamin'ny razanareo Jehovah.

The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Miverena amiko ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, dia mba hiverina ho aminareo kosa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro.

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.

Aza mba toy ny razanareo, izay nantsoin'ny mpaminany fahiny hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Mialà amin'ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo sy amin'ny ratsy fanaonareo; nefa tsy nitandrina izy, na nihaino Ahy, hoy Jehovah.

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.

Ny razanareo - aiza moa ireny izao ? Ary ny mpaminany - moa velona mandrakizay va ireny?

Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?

Fa ny teniko sy ny didiko, izay nandidiako ny mpaminany mpanompoko, tsy nahatratra ny razanareo va izany? Ary izy nitodika ka nanao hoe: Araka izay nosainin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, hatao amintsika, araka ny alehantsika sy ny ataontsika, dia araka izany no nataony tamintsika.

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.

Tamin'ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin'ny volana fahiraika ambin'ny folo (volana Sebata izany) tamin'ny taona faharoa nanjakan'i Dariosa dia tonga tamin i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak'i Berekia, zanak'Ido, ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao,hoe:

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,

Nahita tamin'ny alina aho fa, indro, nisy lehilahy nitaingina soavaly mena ka nijanona teny amin'ny rotra teny an-dohasaha, ary teo aoriany nisy soavaly mena sy mavo ary fotsy.

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.

Dia hoy izaho: Tompoko ô, inona moa ireo? Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Izaho haneho anao ny amin'ireo.

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.

Ary ralehilahy izay nijanona teny amin'ny rotra dia namaly hoe: Ireo dia nirahin'Jehovah hivoivoy eny amin'ny tany.

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.

Ary namaly Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah nijanona teny amin'ny rotra ireo ka nanao hoe: Efa nivoivoy teny amin'ny tany izahay, ary, indro, ny tany rehetra dia miadana sy mandry fahizay.

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.

Ary Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah namaly hoe: He, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro ô! mandra-pahoviana no tsy hamindranao fo amin'i Jerosalema sy amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda, izay efa nahatezitra Anao fito-polo taona izay.

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?

Dia novalian'i Jehovah teny tsara sy mampionona ilay anjely niresaka tamiko.

And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.

Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Miantsoa hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Saro-piaro dia saro-piaro an'i Jerosalema sy Ziona Aho.

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.

Ary tezitra indrindra Aho amin'ireo firenena miadana; satria Izaho dia tezitra kely ihany, fa ireo kosa dia nampitombo ny fahoriana.

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.

Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Efa tafaverina eto Jerosalema amin'ny indrafo Aho; ny tranoko haorina eto, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, ary ny famolaina hohenjanina eto Jerosalema.

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.

Miantsoa indray hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Hihoa-pampana ny fanambinana ny tanànako; ary Jehovah hampionona an'i Ziona ary mbola hifidy an'i Jerosalema indray.

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.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

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.

And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.

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.
