Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Awo ne nnyimusa amaaso gange, ne ndaba, omusajja ng’alina mu mukono gwe olukoba olupima.
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."
Ne mubuuza nti, “Ogenda wa?” Nanziramu nti, “Ŋŋenda kupima Yerusaalemi okulaba obuwanvu n’obugazi bwakyo.”
3 Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’agenda, malayika omulala n’amusisinkana.
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.
N’amugamba nti, “Dduka ogambe omuvubuka oyo nti, ‘Yerusaalemi kijja kuba ekibuga ekitaliiko bbugwe olw’obungi bw’abantu n’ebisibo ebinaabeeramu.
5 For I,' says YHWH, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Nze ndiba bbugwe ow’omuliro, okukyebungulula enjuuyi zonna era nze ndiba ekitiibwa kyakyo mu kyo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says YHWH; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says YHWH.
“Kale mudduke, mudduke ensi ey’obukiikakkono mugiveemu,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “kubanga mbasaasanyizza ng’empewo ennya ez’eggulu bwe ziri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
7 'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
“Mmwe Sayuuni mudduke, mudukke muwone mmwe ababeera mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni.”
8 For thus says YHWH 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.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mukama nga bw’ampadde ekitiibwa n’antuma eri amawanga agaabanyaganga, anaabakwatako anaaba akutte ku mmunye ya liiso lye.
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 YHWH of hosts has sent me.
Kubanga laba ndyolesa omukono gwange gye bali, abaddu baabwe ne babanyaga. Olwo lwe mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says YHWH.
“Yimba, osanyuke ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga laba nzija era ndibeera wakati mu mmwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to YHWH in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.
“Era amawanga mangi galyegatta ku Mukama ku lunaku olwo, era balibeera bantu bange, era nange nnaabeeranga wakati mu ggwe, naawe onootegeera nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gy’oli.
12 YHWH will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Era Yuda aliba mugabo gwa Mukama mu nsi entukuvu, era aliddamu okwerondera Yerusaalemi.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before YHWH; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
Musiriikirire, abantu mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga asituse okuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.”
