< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
A LAWA hou ae la kuu mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, he kanaka me ke kaula-ana ma kona lima.
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.”
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 messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going 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 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.
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 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
No ka mea, owau auanei he paku ahi nona a puni, wahi a Iehova, a owau hoi iloko ona he nani.
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.
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 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [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 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.
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 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.
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 behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
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 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.
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 YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
A e komo auanei o Iehova i ka Iuda i kuleana nona ma ka aina hoano, a e koho hou oia ia Ierusalema.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from 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.
