< Zechariah 2 >

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Mó si tún gbé ojú mi, sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan ti o mú okùn ìwọ̀n lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
Mo sí wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ń lọ?” O sí wí fún mí pé, “Láti wọn Jerusalẹmu, láti rí iye ìbú rẹ̀, àti iye gígùn rẹ̀.”
3 Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Sì kíyèsi i, angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ jáde lọ, angẹli mìíràn si jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀.
4 and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
Ó si wí fún un pé, “Sáré, sọ fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yìí wí pé, ‘A ó gbé inú Jerusalẹmu bi ìlú ti kò ní odi, nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn àti ohun ọ̀sìn inú rẹ̀.
5 For I,' says the LORD, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Olúwa wí pé: Èmi ó sì jẹ́ odi iná fún un yíká, èmi ó sì jẹ́ ògo láàrín rẹ̀.’
6 Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says the LORD; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says the LORD.
“Wá! Wá! Sá kúrò ni ilẹ̀ àríwá,” ni Olúwa wí, “nítorí pé bí afẹ́fẹ́ mẹ́rin ọ̀run ni mo tú yín káàkiri,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
“Gbà ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ìwọ Sioni, ìwọ tí ó ń bà ọmọbìnrin Babeli gbé.”
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Lẹ́yìn ògo rẹ̀ ni a ti rán mi sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ń kó yin: nítorí ẹni tí ó tọ́ yin, ó tọ́ ọmọ ojú rẹ̀.
9 For, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
Nítorí kíyèsi i, èmi ó gbọn ọwọ́ mi sí orí wọn, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ìkógun fún ìránṣẹ́ wọn: ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ó rán mi.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says the LORD.
“Kọrin kí o sì yọ̀, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Sioni. Nítorí èmi ń bọ̀ àti pé èmi yóò sì gbé àárín rẹ,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
“Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ni yóò dàpọ̀ mọ́ Olúwa ní ọjọ́ náà, wọn yóò sì di ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì gbé àárín rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ó rán mi sí ọ.
12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Olúwa yóò sì jogún Juda ìní rẹ̀, ni ilẹ̀ mímọ́, yóò sì tún yan Jerusalẹmu.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
Ẹ̀ dákẹ́, gbogbo ẹran-ara níwájú Olúwa: nítorí a jí i láti ibùgbé mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá.”
