Zechariah 12

1 oracle word LORD upon Israel utterance LORD to stretch heaven and to found land: country/planet and to form: formed spirit man in/on/with entrails: among his

Isiphrofethi: ilizwi likaThixo mayelana lo-Israyeli. UThixo owachayayo amazulu, obeka isisekelo somhlaba, njalo owenza umphefumulo womuntu phakathi kwakhe, uthi:

2 behold I to set: make [obj] Jerusalem basin reeling to/for all [the] people around and also upon Judah to be in/on/with siege upon Jerusalem

“Ngizakwenza iJerusalema ibe njengenkezo ezadakisa bonke abantu abakhelene layo. UJuda uzavinjezelwa laye njengeJerusalema.

3 and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to set: make [obj] Jerusalem stone burden to/for all [the] people all to lift her to incise to incise and to gather upon her all nation [the] land: country/planet

Ngalelolanga, lapho izizwe zonke zomhlaba sezihlangene ukulwa laye, ngizakwenza iJerusalema ibe lidwala elingagudlukiyo elezizwe zonke. Bonke abazama ukulitshedisa bazazilimaza.

4 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it utterance LORD to smite all horse in/on/with bewilderment and to ride his in/on/with madness and upon house: household Judah to open [obj] eye my and all horse [the] people to smite in/on/with blindness

Ngalelolanga ngizakwenza wonke amabhiza ethuke labagadi bawo bahlanye,” kutsho uThixo. “Indlu kaJuda ngizahlala ngiyiqaphele, kodwa ngizaphumputhekisa wonke amabhiza ezizwe.

5 and to say chief Judah in/on/with heart their strength to/for me to dwell Jerusalem in/on/with LORD Hosts God their

Lapho abakhokheli bakoJuda bazakuthi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ‘Abantu baseJerusalema baqinile, ngoba uThixo uSomandla unguNkulunkulu wabo.’

6 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to set: make [obj] chief Judah like/as basin fire in/on/with tree: wood and like/as torch fire in/on/with sheaf and to eat upon right and upon left [obj] all [the] people around and to dwell Jerusalem still underneath: stand her in/on/with Jerusalem

Ngalelolanga ngizakwenza abakhokheli bakoJuda babe njengebhodo phezu kwezikhuni, njengobhaqa oluvuthayo phakathi kwezithungo. Bazathungela ngapha langapha kutshe bonke abantu abakhelene labo, kodwa iJerusalema izasala imi injalo endaweni yayo.

7 and to save LORD [obj] tent Judah in/on/with first because not to magnify beauty house: household David and beauty to dwell Jerusalem upon Judah

UThixo uzasindisa imizi yakoJuda kuqala ukuze udumo lwendlu kaDavida lolwezakhamizi zaseJerusalema lungabi lukhulu kulolukaJuda.

8 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to defend LORD about/through/for to dwell Jerusalem and to be [the] to stumble in/on/with them in/on/with day [the] he/she/it like/as David and house: household David like/as God like/as messenger: angel LORD to/for face: before their

Ngalelolanga uThixo uzabavikela labo abahlala eJerusalema, kuze kuthi lobuthakathaka kakhulu phakathi kwabo uzakuba njengoDavida, lendlu kaDavida izakuba njengoNkulunkulu, njengeNgilosi kaThixo ihamba phambi kwabo.

9 and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to seek to/for to destroy [obj] all [the] nation [the] to come (in): come upon Jerusalem

Ngalelolanga ngizaphuma ngiyebhubhisa zonke izizwe ezihlasela iJerusalema.”

10 and to pour: pour upon house: household David and upon to dwell Jerusalem spirit favor and supplication and to look to(wards) me [obj] which to pierce and to mourn upon him like/as mourning upon [the] only and to provoke upon him like/as to provoke upon [the] firstborn

“Ngizathululela phezu kwendlu kaDavida laphezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema umoya womusa lobubele. Bazakhangela kimi, mina abamgwazayo, bangililele njengomuntu elilela umntanakhe ozelwe yedwa, bamkhalele kabuhlungu njengomuntu ekhalela indodana yakhe elizibulo.

11 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to magnify [the] mourning in/on/with Jerusalem like/as mourning Hadad-rimmon Hadad-rimmon in/on/with valley Megiddo

Ngalelolanga isililo eJerusalema sizakuba sikhulu njengesililo sikaHadadi-Rimoni emagcekeni aseMegido.

12 and to mourn [the] land: country/planet family family to/for alone family house: household David to/for alone and woman: wife their to/for alone family house: household Nathan to/for alone and woman: wife their to/for alone

Ilizwe lizalila, yilesosizwana sisodwa, labafazi babo bebodwa; isizwana sendlu kaDavida labafazi babo, isizwana sendlu kaNathani labafazi babo,

13 family house: household Levi to/for alone and woman: wife their to/for alone family [the] Shimeite to/for alone and woman: wife their to/for alone

isizwana sendlu kaLevi labafazi babo, isizwana sikaShimeyi labafazi babo,

14 all [the] family [the] to remain family family to/for alone and woman: wife their to/for alone

lazozonke izizwana labafazi bazo.”
