1:1	In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, የኢዶ ልጅ, ነቢዩ, እያለ ነው።:
1:2	The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
1:3	አንተም በላቸው: የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: ወደ እኔ ዞር በል, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር, እኔም ወደ አንተ እመለሳለሁ, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር.
1:4	Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, እያለ ነው።: የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, ይላል ጌታ.
1:5	Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
1:6	Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, አሉት: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
1:7	On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, የኢዶ ልጅ, ነቢዩ, እያለ ነው።:
1:8	I saw by night, እና እነሆ, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
1:9	እኔም አልኩት, “What are these, ጌታዬ?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, አለኝ, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
1:10	And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
1:11	And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, አሉት, “We have walked through the earth, እና እነሆ, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
1:12	And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
1:13	And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
1:14	And the angel, who was speaking with me, አለኝ: ይጮኻሉ, እያለ ነው።: የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
1:15	እና, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
1:16	በዚህ ምክንያት, እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
1:17	Until then, cry out saying: የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, እና, አስከዛ ድረስ, the Lord will comfort Zion, እና, አስከዛ ድረስ, he will single out Jerusalem.
1:18	And I lifted up my eyes, እኔም አየሁ. እና እነሆ: four horns.
1:19	And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
1:20	And the Lord showed me four workmen.
1:21	እኔም አልኩት, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, እያለ ነው።, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”

2:1	And I lifted up my eyes, እኔም አየሁ, እና እነሆ, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
2:2	እኔም አልኩት, "ወዴት እየሄድክ ነው?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”
2:3	እና እነሆ, the angel, who had been speaking with me, ሄደ, and another angel went out to meet him.
2:4	እርሱም: ፍጠን, speak to this young man, እያለ ነው።: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
2:5	And I will be to it, ይላል ጌታ, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
2:6	O, O flee from the land of the North, ይላል ጌታ, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, ይላል ጌታ.
2:7	ጽዮን, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
2:8	የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላልና።: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.
2:9	እነሆ, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
2:10	ዘምሩ እና ደስ ይበላችሁ, የጽዮን ሴት ልጅ. እነሆ, እቀርባለሁ።, በመካከላችሁም አድራለሁ።, ይላል ጌታ.
2:11	በዚያም ቀን ብዙ አሕዛብ ከእግዚአብሔር ጋር ይተባበራሉ, እነርሱም ሕዝቤ ይሆናሉ, በመካከላችሁም አድራለሁ።. የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ወደ እናንተ እንደ ላከኝ ታውቃላችሁ.
2:12	እግዚአብሔርም ድርሻውን ይወርሳል, ይሁዳ, በተቀደሰው ምድር, አሁንም ኢየሩሳሌምን ይለያል.
2:13	ሥጋ ለባሽ ሁሉ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት ዝም ይበል።: ከተቀደሰው ማደሪያው ተነስቷልና።.

3:1	And the Lord revealed to me: Jesus the high priest, standing in the sight of the angel of the Lord. And Satan stood before his right hand, so as to be his adversary.
3:2	ጌታም ሰይጣንን።, “May the Lord rebuke you, ሰይጣን! And may the Lord, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Are you not a firebrand plucked from the fire?”
3:3	And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments. And he stood before the face of an angel.
3:4	He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, እያለ ነው።, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “እነሆ, I have taken away from you your iniquity, and I have clothed you with a change of clothing.”

3:6	And the angel of the Lord contested with Jesus, እያለ ነው።:
3:7	የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል።: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you likewise will judge my house and will keep my courts, and I will give you some of those who now attend here to walk with you.
3:8	ያዳምጡ, Jesus the high priest, you and your friends, who dwell before you, who have been portending to men. እነሆ, I will lead my servant to the East.
3:9	እነሆ, the stone that I have bestowed before Jesus. Upon one stone, there are seven eyes. እነሆ, I will carve its engraving, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር. And I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.

4:7	What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
4:8	የእግዚአብሔርም ቃል ወደ እኔ መጣ, እያለ ነው።:
4:9	The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ወደ እናንተ እንደ ላከኝ ታውቃላችሁ.
4:10	For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
4:11	And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
4:12	And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”

5:3	እርሱም, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”
5:4	I will bring it forth, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.

5:9	And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. እና እነሆ, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.

7:4	And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, እያለ ነው።:
7:5	Speak to all the people of the land, ለካህናቱም።, እያለ ነው።: Although you may have fasted and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years, did you indeed keep a fast unto me?
7:6	And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink only for yourselves?
7:7	Are not these the words that the Lord has spoken by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem was still inhabited, so that it would prosper, itself and the cities around it, and those inhabitants towards the South and in the plains?

11:5	which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, እያለ ነው።: “እግዚአብሔር ይባረክ; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”
11:6	እናም, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, ይላል ጌታ. እነሆ, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.
11:7	And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, በዚህ ምክንያት, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.
11:8	And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.
11:9	እኔም አልኩት: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.
11:10	And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.
11:11	And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.
11:12	እኔም አልኳቸው: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.
11:13	ጌታም ተናገረኝ።: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.
11:14	And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
11:15	ጌታም ተናገረኝ።: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
11:16	እነሆ, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.
11:17	O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.

12:6	በዚያ ቀን, I will set the governors of Judah like a flaming furnace among wood, and like a flaming torch among hay. And they will devour, ወደ ቀኝ እና ወደ ግራ, all the surrounding peoples. And Jerusalem will be inhabited again, in her own place, በኢየሩሳሌም.
12:7	And the Lord will save the tabernacles of Judah, just as in the beginning, so that the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not glorify themselves boastfully against Judah.
12:8	በዚያ ቀን, the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and even he who will have offended from them, በዚያ ቀን, will be like David, and the house of David will be like that of God, just like an angel of the Lord in their sight.

12:11	በዚያ ቀን, በኢየሩሳሌም ታላቅ ልቅሶ ይሆናል።, እንደ ሃዳድሪሞን ልቅሶ በመጊዶ ሜዳ.
12:12	And the earth will mourn: families and families separately; the families of the house of David separately, and their women separately;
12:13	the families of the house of Nathan separately, and their women separately; the families of the house of Levi separately, and their women separately; the families of Shimei separately, and their women separately;
12:14	all the rest of the families, families and families separately, and their women separately.

13:1	በዚያ ቀን, ለዳዊት ቤትና ለኢየሩሳሌም ነዋሪዎች የተከፈተ ምንጭ ይኖራል, ለዓመፀኛውና ለረከሰችው ሴት መታጠብ.
13:2	ይህም በዚያ ቀን ይሆናል።, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር: I will disperse the names of the idols from the earth, and they will not be remembered any longer. And I will take away the false prophets and the unclean spirit from the earth.
13:3	እና ይህ ይሆናል: when any devotee will continue to prophesy, his father and his mother, who conceived him, will say to him, “You shall not live, because you have been speaking a lie in the name of the Lord.” And his father and his mother, his own parents, will pierce him, when he will prophesy.
13:4	እና ይህ ይሆናል: በዚያ ቀን, the prophets will be confounded, each one by his own vision, when he will prophesy. Neither will they be covered with a garment of sackcloth in order to deceive.
13:5	But he will say, “እኔ ነብይ አይደለሁም።; I am a man of agriculture. For Adam has been my example from my youth.”
13:6	And they will say to him, “What are these wounds in the middle of your hands?” And he will say, “I was wounded with these in the house of those who love me.”
13:7	Awake, O spear, against my shepherd and against the man that clings to me, ይላል የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn my hand to the little ones.
13:8	And there will be in all the earth, ይላል ጌታ, two parts in it will be scattered and will pass away, and the third part will be left behind.
13:9	And I will lead the third part through fire, and I will burn them just as silver is burned, and I will test them just as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will heed them. እላለሁ, “You are my people.” And they will say, “The Lord is my God.”

14:1	እነሆ, the days of the Lord will arrive, and your spoils will be divided in your midst.
14:2	And I will gather all the Gentiles in battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, and the houses will be ravaged, and the women will be violated. And the central part of the city will go forth into captivity, and the remainder of the people will not be taken away from the city.
14:3	Then the Lord will go forth, and he will fight against those Gentiles, just as when he fought in the day of conflict.
14:4	And his feet will stand firm, በዚያ ቀን, upon the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem towards the East. And the mount of Olives will be divided down its center part, towards the East and towards the West, with a very great rupture, and the center of the mountain will be separated towards the North, and its center towards the Meridian.
14:5	And you will flee to the valley of those mountains, because the valley of the mountains will be joined all the way to the next. And you will flee, just as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the Lord my God will arrive, and all the saints with him.
14:6	ይህም በዚያ ቀን ይሆናል።: there will not be light, only cold and frost.
14:7	And there will be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day and not night. And in the time of the evening, there will be light.

14:10	And all the land will return even to the desert, from the hill of Rimmon to the South of Jerusalem. And she will be exalted, and she will dwell in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin even to the place of the former gate, and even to the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananel even to the pressing room of the king.
14:11	And they will dwell in it, and there will be no further anathema, but Jerusalem shall sit securely.
14:12	And this will be the plague by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles that have fought against Jerusalem. The flesh of each one will waste away while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes will be consumed in their sockets, and their tongue will be consumed in their mouth.
14:13	በዚያ ቀን, there will be a great tumult from the Lord among them. And a man will take the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will be clasped upon the hand of his neighbor.
14:14	And even Judah will fight against Jerusalem. And the riches of all the Gentiles will be gathered together around them: ወርቅ, እና ብር, and more than enough garments.
14:15	እና, like the ruin of the horse, and the mule, and the camel, and the donkey, and all the beasts of burden, which will have been in those encampments, so will be this ruination.
14:16	And all those who will be the remnant of all the Gentiles that came against Jerusalem, will go up, ከአመት ወደ አመት, to adore the King, የሠራዊት ጌታ, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
14:17	እና ይህ ይሆናል: whoever will not go up, from the families of the earth to Jerusalem, so as to adore the King, የሠራዊት ጌታ, there will be no showers upon them.
14:18	But if even the family of Egypt will go not up, nor approach, neither will it be upon them, but there will be ruin, by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
14:19	This will be the sin of Egypt, and this will be the sin of all the Gentiles, who will not go up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.
14:20	በዚያ ቀን, that which is on the bridle of the horse will be holy to the Lord. And even the cooking pots in the house of the Lord will be like holy vessels before the altar.
14:21	And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be sanctified to the Lord of hosts. And all those who make sacrifices will come and take from them, and will cook with them. And the merchant will no longer be in the house of the Lord of hosts, በዚያ ቀን.
