Zacarias 12

Te Whakawāteatanga o Hiruhārama e Meāke nei

1 Ko te poropititanga, he kupu nā Ihowā mō Īharaira: E ai tā Ihowā, nāna nei ngā rangi i hora, nāna te whenua i whakatū, nāna i whai āhua ai te wairua o te tangata i roto i a ia: 2 "Tēnei ahau te mea nei i Hiruhārama hei kapu wiri ki ngā iwi katoa ā taka noa; ka pēhi anō i a Hūrā i te whakapaenga o Hiruhārama. 3 Nā, i taua rā ka meinga e ahau a Hiruhārama hei kōhatu taimaha ki ngā iwi katoa; ko te hunga katoa e hāpai ana ka māruru rawa. Ā, ka huihui ngā iwi katoa o te whenua ki te tū ki a ia. 4 I taua rā," e ai tā Ihowā, "ka patua e ahau ki te mīharo ngā hōiho katoa, me ō rātou kaieke ki te haurangi. Ā, ka titiro matatau ōku kanohi ki te whare o Hūrā, ka patua anō e ahau ngā hōiho katoa o ngā iwi ki te matapō. 5 Ā, ka mea ngā rangatira o Hūrā i roto i ō rātou ngākau, ‘Ko ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama hei kaha mōku i runga i tō rātou Atua, i a Ihowā o ngā mano.’

6 "I taua rā ka meinga e ahau ngā rangatira o Hūrā kia rite ki te kānga ahi i roto i ngā rākau, kia rite anō ki te rama ahi i roto i te paihere. Ka pau hoki i a rātou ngā iwi katoa i te taha matau, i te taha mauī, ā, karapoi noa; ā tērā a Hiruhārama e noho anō i runga i tōna tūranga, arā i Hiruhārama.

7 "Nā, ka whakaora a Ihowā i ngā tēneti o Hūrā i te tuatahi, kei whakapehapeha te korōria o te whare o Rāwiri, te korōria rānei o ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama ki a Hūrā. 8 I taua rā ka tiakina e Ihowā ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama; nā, ko te tangata ngoikore i roto i a rātou, ka rite i taua rā ki a Rāwiri; ko te whare o Rāwiri ki te Atua, ki te anahera a Ihowā i tō rātou aroaro. 9 I taua rā ka whai ahau kia whakangaromia ngā iwi katoa e haere mai ana ki te whawhai ki Hiruhārama."

He Tangi mō te Mea i Werohia

10 "Ka ringihia anō e ahau te wairua o te aroha noa, o ngā īnoi ki runga ki te whare o Rāwiri, ki ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama, ā, ka titiro rātou ki ahau ki tā rātou i wero ai, ka tangi anō ki a ia, me te mea e tangi ana ki tāna huatahi, ka pōuri anō ki a ia, me te mea e pōuri ana ki tāna mātāmua. 11 I taua rā ka nui te tangi i roto i Hiruhārama, ka rite ki te tangi i Harararimono i te raorao o Mekirono. 12 Ā, ka tangi te whenua, tēnei hapū, tēnei hapū, wehe rawa; ko te hapū o te whare o Rāwiri wehe rawa, ko ā rātou wāhine wehi rawa; ko te hapū o te whare o Nātana wehe rawa, ko ā rātou wāhine wehe rawa; 13 ko te hapū o te whare o Rīwai wehe rawa, ko ā rātou wāhine wehe rawa; ko te hapū o Himei wehe rawa, ko ā rātou wāhine wehe rawa. 14 Ko ngā hapū katoa e toe ana, ko tēnei hapū, ko tēnei hapū, wehe rawa, me ā rātou wāhine wehe rawa."

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

Thus saith Jehovah, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him: 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem. 3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it. 4 In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Jehovah of hosts their God. 6 In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. 7 Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah. 8 In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart; 14 all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
