Zechariah 2
1 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Mó si tún gbé ojú mi, sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan ti o mú okùn ìwọ̀n lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
2 “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”
Mo sí wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ń lọ?” O sí wí fún mí pé, “Láti wọn Jerusalẹmu, láti rí iye ìbú rẹ̀, àti iye gígùn rẹ̀.”
3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him
Sì kíyèsi i, angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ jáde lọ, angẹli mìíràn si jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀.
4 and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.
Ó si wí fún un pé, “Sáré, sọ fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yìí wí pé, ‘A ó gbé inú Jerusalẹmu bi ìlú ti kò ní odi, nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn àti ohun ọ̀sìn inú rẹ̀.
5 For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
Olúwa wí pé: Èmi ó sì jẹ́ odi iná fún un yíká, èmi ó sì jẹ́ ògo láàrín rẹ̀.’
6 “Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
“Wá! Wá! Sá kúrò ni ilẹ̀ àríwá,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí pé bí afẹ́fẹ́ mẹ́rin ọ̀run ni mo tú yín káàkiri,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 “Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”
“Gbà ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ìwọ Sioni, ìwọ tí ó ń bà ọmọbìnrin Babeli gbé.”
8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Lẹ́yìn ògo rẹ̀ ni a ti rán mi sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ń kó yin: nítorí ẹni tí ó tọ́ yin, ó tọ́ ọmọ ojú rẹ̀.
9 I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”
Nítorí kíyèsi i, èmi ó gbọn ọwọ́ mi sí orí wọn, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ìkógun fún ìránṣẹ́ wọn: ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ó rán mi.
10 “Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.
“Kọrin kí o sì yọ̀, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Sioni. Nítorí èmi ń bọ̀ àti pé èmi yóò sì gbé àárín rẹ,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
11 “On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.
“Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ni yóò dàpọ̀ mọ́ Olúwa ní ọjọ́ náà, wọn yóò sì di ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì gbé àárín rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ó rán mi sí ọ.
12 And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.
Olúwa yóò sì jogún Juda ìní rẹ̀, ni ilẹ̀ mímọ́, yóò sì tún yan Jerusalẹmu.
13 Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
Ẹ̀ dákẹ́, gbogbo ẹran-ara níwájú Olúwa: nítorí a jí i láti ibùgbé mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá.”
