< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti maysa a lalaki a nakaiggem iti tali a pagrukod. Kinunak,
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.”
“Sadino ti papanam?” Kinunana ngarud kaniak, “Rukodek ti Jerusalem tapno maammoak ti kalawa ken kaatiddogna.”
3 And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, ket adda rimmuar a maysa pay nga anghel a nangsabat kenkuana.
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.
Kinuna ti maikadua nga anghel kenkuana, “Agtarayka ket kasaritam dayta a bumarito; ibagam, 'Saanto a mapaderan ti Jerusalem gapu kadagiti nakaad-adu a tattao ken ayup iti daytoy.
5 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
'Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh'—agbalinakto nga apuy a pader iti aglawlawna, ket siakto ti dayag iti tengngana.
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.
Agtaraykayo! Agtaraykayo! Aglibaskayo manipud iti daga iti amianan'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'gapu ta inwarawarakayo a kas iti uppat nga angin kadagiti tangatang!' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—
7 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
'Agtaraykayo! Agkamangkayo iti Sion, dakayo a makipagtataeng iti anak a babai ti Babilonia!”
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.
Gapu ta kalpasannak a padayawan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ket imbaonnak a maibusor kadagiti nasion a nagsamsam kadakayo—ta siasinoman a mangsagid kadakayo, sagidenna ti kapapatgan iti imatang ti Dios! —kalpasan nga inaramid ni Yahweh daytoy, kinunana,
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.
“Siak a mismo ti mangraut kadakuada, ket samsamanto ida dagiti tagabuda.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak.
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
“Agkantakayo gapu iti rag-o, dakayo a tattao ti Sion, ta umayakon ket makipagnaedak kadakayo! —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
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.
Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, makitiponto kenni Yahweh dagiti nabibileg a nasion. Kunana, “Ket agbalinkayonto a tattaok; ta makipagnaedakto kadakayo.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak kadakayo.
12 And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
Ta tawidento ni Yahweh ti Juda a kas sanikuana idiay nasantoan a daga ket pilliennanto manen ti Jerusalem a para kenkuana.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
Agulimekkayo, dakayo amin a tattao, iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, gapu ta umayen isuna manipud iti nasantoan a lugarna!
