Zekaria 2

1 Ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo angʼicho mi naneno ngʼat moro motingʼo tond pimo e lwete!

And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Eka napenjo niya, “Idhi kanye?” Nodwoka niya, “Adhi pimo Jerusalem mondo angʼe lachne gi borne.”

And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.

3 Eka malaika mane loso koda noa, kendo malaika machielo nobiro mondo oromne

And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him.

4 kendo nowachone niya, “Ringi inyis wuowi matin cha ni, ‘Jerusalem biro bedo dala ma ok ochiel gi ohinga nikech ji kod jamni mabiro dak e iye biro bedo mangʼeny mohinge.

And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.

5 Kendo an awuon abiro bedone ohinga mar mach molwore kendo abiro bedone duongʼ maler e diere,’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.

And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.

6 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ringi ia e piny man yo nyandwat, nikech asekeyou nyaka e tunge angʼwen mag polo.

O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord.

7 “Un joma odak e piny nyar Babulon ringuru utony udhi Sayun!”

O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:

8 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho, “Bangʼ ka osemiya duongʼ kendo oseora mondo arad gi pinje mosepeyou, kendo mondo anyisgi ni ngʼato angʼata momulou osoko mana tong wangʼ Nyasaye,

For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:

9 to abiro kumogi mi wasumbini mag-gi giwegi pegi. Eka unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora.”

For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.

10 Jehova Nyasaye wachone nyar Sayun niya, “Koguru matek kendo beduru mabor nikech abiro dak e dieru.

Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord.

11 Pinje mangʼeny noriwre gi Jehova Nyasaye e odiechiengʼno kendo ginibed joga. Anadag e dieru kendo unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iru.

And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to thee.

12 Jehova Nyasaye nokaw Juda kaka girkeni mare e piny maler, kendo enochak oyier Jerusalem.

And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.

13 Ji duto mondo olingʼ thi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osewuok oa kar dakne maler.”

Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his. holy habitation.
