Zekaria 2
1 Ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo angʼicho mi naneno ngʼat moro motingʼo tond pimo e lwete!
Then I looked again and I saw 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.”
“Where are you going?” I asked him. “I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied.
3 Eka malaika mane loso koda noa, kendo malaika machielo nobiro mondo oromne
The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came 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 told him, “Run, and tell the young man that Jerusalem will have so many people and farm animals that it will be too big to have walls.”
5 Kendo an awuon abiro bedone ohinga mar mach molwore kendo abiro bedone duongʼ maler e diere,’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside it.
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ringi ia e piny man yo nyandwat, nikech asekeyou nyaka e tunge angʼwen mag polo.
Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven.
7 “Un joma odak e piny nyar Babulon ringuru utony udhi Sayun!”
Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape.
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 this is what the Lord Almighty said: Afterwards the glorious Lord sent me against the nations that plundered you—for those who touch you touch the apple of his eye.
9 to abiro kumogi mi wasumbini mag-gi giwegi pegi. Eka unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora.”
I will raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wachone nyar Sayun niya, “Koguru matek kendo beduru mabor nikech abiro dak e dieru.
Sing in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with you, declares 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.
Many nations will become believers in Lord on that day, and they shall be my people. I will live among you, and you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
12 Jehova Nyasaye nokaw Juda kaka girkeni mare e piny maler, kendo enochak oyier Jerusalem.
The people of Judah will be the Lord's special people in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem as his special city.
13 Ji duto mondo olingʼ thi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osewuok oa kar dakne maler.”
Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.
