Zechariah 9

Ko te poropititanga o te kupu a Ihowa i te whenua o Hararaka. Na, ko tona taunga atu kei Ramahiku; e whai kanohi ana hoki te tangata me nga hapu katoa o Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.

Kei Hamata ano e tata ra ki reira; kei Taira, kei Hairona no te mea he pa whakaaro nui rawa ia.

And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

I hanga ano e Taira he pa kaha mona, i opehia e ia te hiriwa, ano he puehu, te koura parakore, ano ko te paru o nga waharoa.

And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

Ka kite a Ahakerono, a ka wehi, a Kaha, nui atu te mamae, me Ekerono ano; no te mea he whakama to tana i tumanako ai; ka kore hoki to Kaha kingi; e kore ano a Ahakerono e nohoia.

Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

A ka nohoia a Aharoro e te poriro, ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te whakapehapeha o nga Pirihitini.

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Ka kore ano i ahau ona toto i roto i tona mangai, me ana mea whakarihariha i waenganui i ona niho; na, hei morehu ia mo to tatou Atua, ka rite ano ki te kawana i roto i a Hura, ka rite ano a Ekerono ki te Iepuhi.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

Ka nohoia ano e ahau nga taha o toku whare, hei arai mo te taua, mo te tangata ano e tika ana na reira, mo te tangata e hoki ana; e kore ano te kaitukino e tika na waenga i a ratou a muri ake nei: kua kite nei hoki oku kanohi inaianei.

And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

Kia nui te whakamanamana, e te tamahine a Hiona, hamama, e te tamahine a Hiruharama, nana, ko tou Kingi e haere na ki a koe: he tika ia, he whakaora, he ngakau mahaki, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao ano, i te tama a te kaihe.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

A ka hatepea atu e ahau te hariata o Eparaima, me te hoiho o Hiruharama; ka hatepea atu ano te kopere o te whawhai: mo te rongo mau hoki ana kupu ki nga tauiwi; ka kingi ano ia i tetahi moana a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa a tae noa ki nga pito o te whenua.

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Me koe ano, na te toto o tau kawenata i unga atu ai e ahau ou herehere i roto i te poka kahore nei ona wai.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Tahuri ki te pa kaha, e nga herehere, e te hunga e tumanako ana: i tenei ra nei me whakaatu e ahau e rua aku whakautu ki a koe:

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

Kua piko hoki i ahau a Hura maku, kua whakakiia te kopere ki a Eparaima; a ka oho i ahau au tama, e Hiona, ki te whawhai ki au tama, e Kariki, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau kia rite ki te hoari a te marohirohi.

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

A ka kitea a Ihowa i runga i a ratou, ka puta atu ano tana pere ano he uira: ka tangi hoki te tetere a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a ka haere ia i runga i nga tukauati o te tonga.

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

Ma Ihowa o nga mano ratou e tiaki; a ka kai ratou, a ka takahi i nga kohatu o te kotaha; ka inu ano ratou, ka hamama me te mea na te waina; ka ki ratou ano he peihana, ano ko nga koki o te aata.

The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

Na ka whakaora a Ihowa, to ratou Atua, i a ratou i taua ra, me he kahui no tana iwi: ka rite hoki ratou ki nga kohatu o te karauna, maiangi rawa i runga i tona whenua.

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
