< Zacharias 2 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Sa’an nan na ɗaga kai sai na ga mutum a tsaye riƙe da ma’auni a hannunsa!
2 And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
Sai na yi tambaya, na ce, “Ina za ka?” Ya amsa mini ya ce, “Zan je in auna Urushalima, in ga yadda fāɗinta da tsawonta suke.”
3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,
Sai mala’ikan da yake yi mini magana ya tafi, sai wani mala’ika ya zo ya same shi
4 and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.
ya ce masa, “Yi gudu, gaya wa saurayin can cewa, ‘Urushalima za tă zama birni marar katanga domin mutane da dabbobi masu yawa ƙwarai za su kasance a cikinta.
5 And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.
Ni da kaina ne zan zama katangar wuta kewaye da birnin, in kuma zama darajarta,’ in ji Ubangiji.
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,
“Zo! Zo! Ku gudu daga ƙasar arewa,” in ji Ubangiji, “gama na warwatsa ku a kusurwoyi huɗu na sama,” in ji Ubangiji.
7 [even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.
“Zo, ya ke Sihiyona! Ku tsere, ku masu zama a cikin Diyar Babilon!”
8 For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.
Gama ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Bayan ya ɗaukaka ni, ya kuma aiko ni ga ƙasashen da suka washe ku gama duk wanda ya taɓa ku ya taɓa ƙwayar idonsa ne.
9 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
Ba shakka zan tā da hannuna a kansu domin bayinsu su washe su. Sa’an nan za ku san cewa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko ni.
10 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.
“Ki yi sowa ki yi murna, ya ke Diyar Sihiyona. Gama ina zuwa, zan zauna a cikinki,” in ji Ubangiji.
11 And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
“Ƙasashe da yawa za su haɗa kai da Ubangiji a ranan nan, za su kuma zama mutanena. Zan zauna a cikinku, za ku kuma san cewa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko ni gare ku.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.
Ubangiji zai gāji Yahuda a matsayin rabonsa a cikin ƙasa mai tsarki zai kuma sāke zaɓi Urushalima.
13 Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
Ku yi tsit a gaban Ubangiji, dukanku’yan adam, gama ya taso daga wurin zamansa mai tsarki.”
