Zechariah 2

1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

Ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo angʼicho mi naneno ngʼat moro motingʼo tond pimo e lwete!

2 And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”

Eka napenjo niya, “Idhi kanye?” Nodwoka niya, “Adhi pimo Jerusalem mondo angʼe lachne gi borne.”

3 And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

Eka malaika mane loso koda noa, kendo malaika machielo nobiro mondo oromne

4 and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

kendo nowachone niya, “Ringi inyis wuowi matin cha ni, ‘Jerusalem biro bedo dala ma ok ochiel gi ohinga nikech ji kod jamni mabiro dak e iye biro bedo mangʼeny mohinge.

5 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.

Kendo an awuon abiro bedone ohinga mar mach molwore kendo abiro bedone duongʼ maler e diere,’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.

6 Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.

Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ringi ia e piny man yo nyandwat, nikech asekeyou nyaka e tunge angʼwen mag polo.

7 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

“Un joma odak e piny nyar Babulon ringuru utony udhi Sayun!”

8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.

Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho, “Bangʼ ka osemiya duongʼ kendo oseora mondo arad gi pinje mosepeyou, kendo mondo anyisgi ni ngʼato angʼata momulou osoko mana tong wangʼ Nyasaye,

9 For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.

to abiro kumogi mi wasumbini mag-gi giwegi pegi. Eka unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora.”

10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.

Jehova Nyasaye wachone nyar Sayun niya, “Koguru matek kendo beduru mabor nikech abiro dak e dieru.

11 And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.

Pinje mangʼeny noriwre gi Jehova Nyasaye e odiechiengʼno kendo ginibed joga. Anadag e dieru kendo unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iru.

12 And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.

Jehova Nyasaye nokaw Juda kaka girkeni mare e piny maler, kendo enochak oyier Jerusalem.

13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”

Ji duto mondo olingʼ thi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osewuok oa kar dakne maler.”
