Zechariah 2
1 I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ani ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo, namichi funyoo safaraa harkatti qabate tokko fuula koo dura ture!
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.
Anis, “Ati garam deemuutti jirta?” jedheen gaafadhe. Innis, “Ani Yerusaalemin safaree balʼinaa fi dheerina ishee beekuufan deema” jedhee naaf deebise.
3 And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,
Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun kaʼee deeme; ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan biraa isa arguu dhufee
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.
akkana jedheen: “Dhaqiitii dargaggeessa sanatti akkana jedhii himi; ‘Yerusaalem sababii baayʼina namaa fi horii ishee keessa jiraataniitiif magaalaa dallaa hin qabne taati.
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.
Ani mataan koo naannoo isheetti dallaa ibiddaa nan taʼa; ishee keessattis ulfina nan taʼa’ jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
“Kottaa! Kottaa! Biyya kaabaa sana keessaa baqadhaa” jedha Waaqayyo; “Ani bubbee samii afranitti isin bittinneesseeraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
7 Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
“Yaa Xiyoon kottu! Ati kan intala Baabilon keessa jiraattu baqadhu!”
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.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedhaatii: “Namni si tuqu kam iyyuu argituu ija isaa waan tuquuf, erga Inni Ulfina Qabeessi saboota si saaman sanatti na ergee booddee,
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.
akka garboonni isaanii isaan saamaniif ani dhugumaan harka koo isaanitti ol nan kaafadha. Ergasii isin akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu na erge ni beektu.
10 Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.
“Yaa Intala Xiyoon gammadii ililchi. Ani dhufee gidduu kee nan jiraadhaatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
“Bara sana saboonni hedduun gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼanii saba koo taʼu. Ani immoo gidduu kee nan jiraadha; ati akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sitti na erge ni beekta.
12 And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.
Waaqayyo akkuma qooda isaa kan biyya qulqulluu keessaatti Yihuudaa ni dhaala; Yerusaaleminis deebiʼee ni filata.
13 Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
Sababii inni iddoo jireenya isaa qulqulluu sanaa ol kaʼeef, sanyiin namaa hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti calʼisaa.”
