Victory for Jerusalem
1 This is a message from the Lord about Israel:
I am the Lord! I stretched out the heavens; I put the earth on its foundations and gave breath to humans. 2 I have decided that Jerusalem will become a bowl of wine that makes the neighboring nations drunk. And when Jerusalem is attacked, Judah will also be attacked. 3 But I will turn Jerusalem into a heavy stone that crushes anyone who tries to lift it.
When all nations on earth surround Jerusalem, 4 I will blind every horse and make them panic, and every rider will be confused. But at the same time, I will watch over Judah. 5 Then every clan in Judah will realize that I, the Lord All-Powerful, am their God, and that I am the source of their strength.
6 At that time I will let the clans of Judah be like a ball of fire in a wood pile or a fiery torch in a hay stack. Then Judah will send the surrounding nations up in smoke. And once again the city of Jerusalem will be filled with people.
7 But I will first give victory to Judah, so the kingdom of David and the city of Jerusalem in all of their glory won't be thought of more highly than Judah itself. 8 I, the Lord God, will protect Jerusalem. Even the weakest person there will be as strong as David, and David's kingdom will rule as though my very own angel were its leader. 9 I am determined to wipe out every nation that attacks Jerusalem.
Mourning for the One Pierced with a Spear
10 I, the Lord, will make the descendants of David and the people of Jerusalem feel deep sorrow and pray when they see the one they pierced with a spear. They will mourn and weep for him, as parents weep over the death of their only child or their first-born. 11 On that day the people of Jerusalem will mourn as much as everyone did for Hadad Rimmon on the flatlands near Megiddo. 12 Everyone of each family in the land will mourn, and the men will mourn separately from the women. This includes those from the family of David, and the families of Nathan, 13 Levi, Shimei, 14 and all other families as well.
Exupifo laJerusalem tali uya
1 Exunganeko, ondjovo yOmwene tai popi Israel. Omwene ou a yala eulu, okwa dika edu ndele a shita omhepo yomunhu meni laye, ota ti: 2 Tala, Jerusalem ohandi shi ningi eholo lokukolwifa oiwana aishe tai shi dingilile. NokuJuda yo tali ke uya fimbo Jerusalem tashi kondekwa. 3 Ndele mefiku tuu olo Jerusalem ohandi shi ningi emanya lidjuu lokuyeleka koiwana aishe. Keshe shimwe tashi li tumbu po, otashi toshoka. Noiwana aishe yokombada yedu otai ongala i shi lwife. 4 Mefiku tuu olo Omwene osho ta ti, Ame ohandi ka halukifa eenghambe adishe novalondi vado neenghwengu. Ndelenee eumbo laJuda ohandi ke li pashukila nomesho ange. Neenghambe adishe doiwana ohandi di denge noupofi. 5 Opo ovakulunhu vepata muJuda tava ka popya momitima davo, tava ti: Eenghono doonakukala muJerusalem odi li mOmwene womatanga ovakwaita, Kalunga kavo.
6 Mefiku tuu olo ovakulunhu vepata muJuda ohandi ke va ninga ngaashi oshikwatelwa shomundilo koshi yonduba yoikuni nongaashi onyika mokati koihati. Vo otava ka lungwinifa oiwana aishe yomoushiinda wavo kolulyo nokolumosho. Ndele Jerusalem otashi pewa okukala ponhele yasho shi novanhu alushelushe muJerusalem. 7 Ndele Omwene ta ka kulila tete omatwali aJuda, opo etumbalo leumbo laDavid netumbalo loonakukala muJerusalem liha dule olo laJuda.
8 Mefiku tuu olo Omwene ota ka amena oonakukalamo muJerusalem. Nomupunduki mokati kavo ta ka kala mefiku tuu olo ngaashi David, neumbo laDavid tali ka kala ngaashi omukwaulu, ngaashi omweengeli wOmwene komesho yavo.
9 Ndele mefiku tuu olo onda hala okuhanauna po yo oiwana aishe tai tondokele Jerusalem. 10 Ndele ohandi ka tilila keumbo laDavid nokombada yoonakukalamo muJerusalem Omhepo yonghenda noyeilikano.
Ndele otava ka tala ou a tuwa kuvo.
Ndele otave ke mu lila ngaashi ewifa tali lilwa,
ndele tave ke mu lilila unene,
ngaashi oshiveli ta nyikilwa unene oluhodi.
11 Mefiku tuu olo muJerusalem tamu ka lilwa eefya dinene, ngaashi eefya daHadad-Rimmon da li mefilu laMegido. 12 Moshilongo tamu ka kala elilaano leefya. Keshe epata tali likalele nokulilaana. Epata laDavid oli lili novakainhu valo ove lili, epata laNatan oli lili novakainhu valo ove lili, 13 epata leumbo laLevi oli lili novakainhu valo ove lili, epata laSimei oli lili novakainhu valo ove lili. 14 Osho ngaha omapata aeshe tae li tongola novakainhu vao ve lili.
