Zechariah 2
1 I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ningĩ ngĩtiira maitho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa ngĩona mũndũ wanyiitĩte rũrigi rũa gũthima na guoko gwake.
2 Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, wathiĩ kũ?” Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndathiĩ gũthima itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, nĩguo menye wariĩ o na ũraihu warĩo.”
3 And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,
Na rĩrĩ, mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria agĩthiĩ, nake mũraika ũngĩ agĩũka kũmũtũnga,
4 And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.
akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tengʼera wĩre mwanake ũcio atĩrĩ, ‘Jerusalemu rĩgaatuĩka itũũra inene rĩtarĩ thingo, nĩ ũndũ wa ũingĩ wa andũ na mahiũ marĩa magaakorwo kuo.’
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.
Jehova ekuuga ũũ, ‘Niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngaatuĩka rũthingo rwa mwaki ndĩrĩthiũrũrũkĩrie, na nduĩke riiri thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu.’”
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.
Jehova ekuuga ũũ, “Ũkai, ũkai! Ũrai muume bũrũri wa mwena wa gathigathini, nĩgũkorwo ndĩmũharaganĩirie mĩena yothe ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga huho cia igũrũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
7 Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
“Ũka, wee Zayuni! Wĩthare, o wee ũtũũraga kwa Mwarĩ wa Babuloni!”
8 For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Thuutha wa kũũhe gĩtĩĩo, akĩndũma ngahũũrane na ndũrĩrĩ iria ciatahĩte indo cianyu. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe ũmũhutagia inyuĩ nĩ kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩa Ngai ahutagia.
9 For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.
Ti-itherũ nĩngambararia guoko gwakwa ndĩmookĩrĩre, nacio ngombo ciao itahe indo ciao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũkaamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
10 Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.
“Wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni-rĩ, anĩrĩra na ũkene, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrooka gũtũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
11 And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.
“Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩikanyiitithanio na Jehova, na nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa. Ngaatũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu na nĩmũkamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
12 And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.
Jehova nĩakagaya Juda gũtuĩke igai rĩake bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mũtheru, na nĩagethuurĩra Jerusalemu o rĩngĩ.
13 Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
Hoorerai harĩ Jehova inyuĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ tondũ nĩeyarahũrĩte kuuma gĩikaro-ini gĩake gĩtheru.
