< Zechariah 2 >

1 And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.
A LAWA hou ae la kuu mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, he kanaka me ke kaula-ana ma kona lima.
2 And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.
I aku la au, Aihea la oe e hele ana? I mai la kela ia'u, E ana iho ai ia Ierusalema, i ike au i kona laula a me kona loa.
3 And the angel who was talking to me went out, and another angel went out, and, meeting him,
Aia hoi, hele aku la ka anela i kamailio me au, a hele aku la hoi kekahi anela e ae e halawai me ia;
4 Said to him, Go quickly and say to this young man, Jerusalem will be an unwalled town, because of the great number of men and cattle in her.
A olelo aku la ia ia, E holo aku oe, e olelo aku i keia kanaka opiopio, penei, E noho puni ole i ka pa na kanaka o Ierusalema, no ka nui o na kanaka a me na holoholona iloko.
5 For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire round about her, and I will be the glory inside her.
No ka mea, owau auanei he paku ahi nona a puni, wahi a Iehova, a owau hoi iloko ona he nani.
6 Ho, ho! go in flight from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I have sent you far and wide to the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
Ea! ea! e holo hoi oukou mai ka aina kukuluakau aku, wahi a Iehova: no ka mea, ua hoopuehu aku au ia oukou me na makani eha o ka honua, wahi a Iehova.
7 Ho! Zion, go in flight from danger, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.
E Ziona e, e hoopakele ia oe iho, e ka mea e noho pu ana me ke kaikamahine a Babulona.
8 For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In the way of glory he has sent me to the nations which have taken your goods: for anyone touching you is touching what is most dear to him.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, Mahope o ka nani, ua hoouna mai oia ia'u i na lahuikanaka, i ka poe nana oukou i hao mai; no ka mea, o ka mea hoopa aku ia oukou, hoopa no ia i ka onohi o kona maka.
9 For at the shaking of my hand over them, their goods will be taken by those who were their servants: and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me.
Aia hoi, e lulu aku no au i kuu lima maluna o lakou, a e haoia'ku lakou e ko lakou poe kauwa; a e ike auanei oukou ua hoouna mai o Iehova o na kaua ia'u.
10 Give songs of joy, O daughter of Zion: for I come, and I will make my resting-place among you, says the Lord.
E olioli, e hauoli hoi, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona; no ka mea, aia hoi, e hele aku ana au, a e noho au iwaena pu o oukou, wahi a Iehova.
11 And a number of nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and will become my people; and I will be living among you, and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
Ia la hoi, he nui na lahuikanaka e hui aku ia lakou iho me Iehova, a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a e noho no wau iwaena pu o oukou; a e ike auanei oukou na Iehova o na kaua wau i hoouna mai iou la.
12 And Judah will be the Lord's heritage in the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his.
A e komo auanei o Iehova i ka Iuda i kuleana nona ma ka aina hoano, a e koho hou oia ia Ierusalema.
13 Let all flesh be quiet and make no sound before the Lord: for he is awake and has come from his holy resting-place.
E hamau oukou, e na kanaka a pau imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoalaia'e oia mai kona noho hoano ae.
