< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold 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 Then said I: 'Whither goest thou?' And he said unto me: 'To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.'
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, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet 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 and said unto him: 'Run, speak to this young man, saying: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein.
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, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of 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, flee then from the land of the north, saith the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith 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, escape, thou that dwellest 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts who sent me after glory unto the nations which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
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, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them'; and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath 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 'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith 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 many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee'; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
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 the LORD shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
A e komo auanei o Iehova i ka Iuda i kuleana nona ma ka aina hoano, a e koho hou oia ia Ierusalema.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused out of His holy habitation.
E hamau oukou, e na kanaka a pau imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoalaia'e oia mai kona noho hoano ae.
