Zekaria 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A I ka ha o ka makahiki o ke alii o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Zekaria, i ka po aha o ka iwa o ka malama, o Kiseleu;
1In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2I ka wa i hoouna mai ai lakou ia Serezera laua o Regemeleka, a me na kanaka o laua i ka hale o ke Akua, e pule imua o Iehova,
2Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, along with their men, to plead before the LORD
3A e ninau aku i na kahuna o ka hale o Iehova o na kaua, a i na kaula, penei, E kanikau anei au i ka lima o ka malama e hookeai ana, me ka'u i hana'i i keia mau makahiki he nui?
3by asking the priests of the house of the LORD of Hosts, as well as the prophets, “Should I weep and fast in the fifth month, as I have done these many years?”
4Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua ia'u, i ka i ana mai,
4Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
5E hai aku oe i keia mau mea i na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a i na kahuna hoi, penei, Ia oukou i hokeai ai a i kanikau ai i ka lima a me ka hiku o ka malama, a pau kela mau makahiki he kanahiku, i hookeai iki anei oukou no'u?
5“Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, was it really for Me that you fasted?
6A ia oukou i ai ai, a i inu ai hoi, aole anei oukou i ai no oukou iho? a i ko oukou inu ana, aole anei oukou i inu no oukou iho?
6And when you were eating and drinking, were you not doing so simply for yourselves?
7Aole anei keia na olelo a Iehova i hea mai ai ma na kaula mua, i ka wa i nohoia'i o Ierusalema me ka maluhia, a me na kulanakauhale ona e kokoke ana, i ka wa i noho ai na kanaka ma ka aoao hema a ma ka papu?
7Are these not the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were populous and prosperous, and the Negev and the foothills were inhabited?’”
8A hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Zekaria, i mai la,
8Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
9Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, E hoopono oukou, a e hoomaopopo kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka lokomaikai a me ko aloha i kona hoahanau.
9“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Administer true justice. Show loving devotion and compassion to one another.
10Mai hana ino i ka wahinekanemake, aole hoi i ke keiki makua ole, aole i ka malihini, aole hoi i ka ilihune, aole hoi e manao ino aku ka naau o kekahi i kona hoahanau.
10Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’
11Aka, hoole lakou i ka hoolohe, a haawi i ka poohiwi kipi a papani ae la i ua pepeiao o lakou, i lohe ole ai lakou.
11But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing.
12A hoopaakiki iho la i ka lakou mau naau pohaku adama, o lohe auanei lakou i ke kanawai, a me na olelo a Iehova o na kaua i hoouna mai ma kona Uhane, ma na kaula mua: nolaila, kau mai la ka inaina nui o Iehova o na kaua.
12They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.
13No ia mea, me ka lakou i hoolohe ole ai ia e kahea aku ana, pela hoi lakou i kahea mai ai, aole hoi au i hoolohe aku, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
13And just as I had called and they would not listen, so when they called I would not listen, says the LORD of Hosts.
14Aka, hoopuehu aku la au ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau a lakou i ike ole ai; a ua neoneo ka aina mahope o lakou, i hiki ole ai i kekahi e hele ilaila, aole hoi e hoi ae: no ka mea, ua hooneoneoia ka aina maikai.
14But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known, and the land was left desolate behind them so that no one could come or go. Thus they turned the pleasant land into a desolation.”
