Diidmadii Soonka Aan Naxariista Iyo Caddaaladda Lahayn

Oo Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii afraad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah maalintii afraad oo bisha sagaalaad, taasoo ah bisha Kislee'u. Haddaba reer Beytel waxay soo direen Shareser iyo Regem Meleg iyo raggoodiiba inay Rabbiga baryaan, iyo inay la hadlaan wadaaddadii guriga Rabbiga ciidammada, iyo nebiyadii, oo ay ku yidhaahdaan, Miyaan bisha shanaad ooyaa, oo miyaan gooni iska dhigaa sidii aan yeeli jiray sannadahan badan oo dhan? Oo haddana waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxaad la hadashaa dadka dalka deggan oo dhan iyo wadaaddadaba, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad soomi jirteen oo aad barooran jirteen bisha shanaad iyo bisha toddobaad, oo ah toddobaatankan sannadood, miyaad innaba aniga ii soomi jirteen? Oo markaad wax cuntaan, iyo markaad wax cabtaan, miyaydaan nafsaddiinna u cunin oo miyaydaan nafsaddiinna u cabbin? Sow ma aha erayadii Rabbigu kaga dhex qayliyey nebiyadii hore, markii Yeruusaalem la degganaa oo ay barwaaqada ku dhex jirtay, oo la wada degganaa magaalooyinka hareeraheeda ku wareegsan iyo xagga koonfureed iyo bannaankaba?

Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah, isagoo leh, Rabbiga ciidammadu sidan buu ku hadlay oo yidhi, Garsoorid daacad ah naqa, oo nin waluba walaalkiis ha u sameeyo naxariis iyo raxmad. 10 Hana dulmina carmalka, ama agoonta, ama qariibka, ama masaakiinta, oo midkiinna yuusan qalbiga xumaan ugu fikirin walaalkiis. 11 Laakiinse way diideen inay dhegaystaan, oo intay caasiyeen ayay dhegaha furaysteen, si ayan u maqlin. 12 Oo waxay qalbigoodii ka dhigeen sidii dhagax adag oo kale si ayan u maqlin sharcigii iyo erayadii Rabbiga ciidammadu uu ku soo dhiibay ruuxiisa markuu nebiyadiisii hore soo diray, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaa Rabbiga ciidammada ka timid cadho weyn. 13 Oo sidii uu u dhawaaqay oo iyana ay maqli waayeen, sidaas oo kalay u qayliyeen, oo anna ma aan maqlin, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu yidhi, 14 laakiinse waxaan iyaga ku kala firdhiyey dabayl duufaan ah oo waxaan dhex geeyey quruumaha ayan aqoon oo dhan. Sidaasuu dalkii cidla u noqday iyaga dabadood, oo ninna ma dhex marin, ciduna kuma soo noqon, waayo, dalkii wacnaa cidla baa laga dhigay.

Justice and Mercy, Not Fasting

In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah(A) on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.(B) The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melek, together with their men, to entreat(C) the Lord(D) by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, “Should I mourn(E) and fast in the fifth(F) month, as I have done for so many years?”

Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me: “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted(G) and mourned in the fifth and seventh(H) months for the past seventy years,(I) was it really for me that you fasted? And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves?(J) Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets(K) when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest(L) and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills(M) were settled?’”(N)

And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice;(O) show mercy and compassion to one another.(P) 10 Do not oppress the widow(Q) or the fatherless, the foreigner(R) or the poor.(S) Do not plot evil against each other.’(T)

11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly(U) they turned their backs(V) and covered their ears.(W) 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint(X) and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.(Y) So the Lord Almighty was very angry.(Z)

13 “‘When I called, they did not listen;(AA) so when they called, I would not listen,’(AB) says the Lord Almighty.(AC) 14 ‘I scattered(AD) them with a whirlwind(AE) among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it.(AF) This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.(AG)’”
