Zechariah 2

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

Naʻa ku toe hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae afo ko e fua.

2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hoʻo ʻalu ʻena ki fē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke fua ʻa Selūsalema mo vakai pe ʻoku fēfē hono māukupu, pea fēfē mo hono lōloa ʻo ia.”

3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

Pea ʻiloange naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa, pea ʻalu atu mo e ʻāngelo ʻe taha ko hono fakafetaulaki.

4 and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

Pea ne pehē mai kiate ia, “Lele mo lea ki he tangata talavou na,” ʻo pehē, “ʻE kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi, koeʻuhi ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai mo e fanga manu ʻi ai:

5 For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

‌ʻE ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u hangē au ko e ʻa afi ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, pea ko au ko e nāunau ʻi hono lotolotonga.”

6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.

“ʻE! ʻE! hola mei he fonua ʻi he potu tokelau, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova! He kuo u fakamovete ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e matangi ki he feituʻu ʻe fā ʻoe langi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

7 Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

‌ʻE Saione, fakamoʻui koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nonofo mo e ʻofefine ʻo Papilone.”

8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he nāunau kuo ne fekau atu au ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi koe: he ko ia ʻoku ala kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne ala ki he kanoʻi mata ʻuli ʻo hoku mata.”

9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

He vakai, te u tupeʻi hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe vete ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki: pea te mou ʻilo ai kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

“ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, hiva mo fakafiefia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, vakai ʻoku ou haʻu, pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou.”

11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

Pea ʻe lahi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe kau mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea nau hoko ko hoku kakai; pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou, pea te ke ʻilo ai kuo fekau au kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siuta, ko hono tofiʻa, ʻi he fonua māʻoniʻoni, pea te ne toe fili ʻa Selūsalema.

13 Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.

Ke longo hifo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova! He kuo tuʻu hake ia mo hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
