Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a man and [was] in hand his a cord of measurement.
Esi mefɔ kɔ dzi la, mekpɔ ŋutsu aɖe wòlé nudzidzeka ɖe asi.
2 And I said where? [are] you going and he said to me to measure Jerusalem to see how much? [is] breadth its and how much? [is] length its.
Mebiae be, “Afi ka yim nèle?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Meyina be madzidze Yerusalem, ne makpɔ eƒe kekeme kple eƒe didime.”
3 And there! the angel who was speaking with me [was] going out and an angel another [was] going out to meet him.
Mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la dzo le gbɔnye, eye mawudɔla bubu zɔ va kpee.
4 And he said (to him *Q(k)*) run speak to the young man this saying open regions it will remain Jerusalem from [the] multitude of person[s] and livestock in [the] midst of it.
Mawudɔla si zɔ va kpee la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ƒu du nàgblɔ na ɖekakpui sia be, ŋkeke li gbɔna esi amewo ayɔ Yerusalem ale gbegbe be womakpɔ nɔƒe na ame sia ame kple woƒe lãhawo o.
5 And I I will be to it [the] utterance of Yahweh a wall of fire all around and glory I will become in [the] middle of it.
Nye ŋutɔ manye dzo bibi ƒe gli aƒo xlã wo, eye manye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.” Yehowae gblɔe.
6 Alas! alas! flee from [the] land of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh that like [the] four [the] winds of the heavens I have scattered you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“‘Miva! Miva! Misi tso anyiehenyigba dzi,’ Yehowae gblɔe, elabena mekaka mi de dziƒowo ƒe ya eneawo katã dzi!” Yehowae gblɔe.
7 Alas! O Zion escape O inhabitant[s] of [the] daughter of Babylon.
“Va, O Zion! Si, wò ame si li kple Babilon vinyɔnu!”
8 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts after honor he has sent me to the nations who plundered you for the [one who] touches you [is] touching [the] pupil of eye his.
Elabena ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, “Esi wòde bubu ŋutinye, eye wòdɔm ɖe dukɔ siwo ha mi ŋuti, elabena ame si ka asi mia ŋuti la, ka asi eƒe gadaglamakui ŋuti.
9 For here I [am] about to brandish hand my on them and they will be plunder for own slaves their and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me.
Nye la, makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe wo ŋuti kokoko, ale woƒe kluviwo aha wo. Ekema mianyae be Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae dɔm.
10 Shout for joy and rejoice O daughter of Zion for here I [am] about to come and I will dwell in midst of you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“O, Zion vinyɔnu, tso aseye nàkpɔ dzidzɔ, elabena megbɔna be manɔ dowòme.” Yehowae gblɔe.
11 And they will join themselves nations many to Yahweh in the day that and they will become for me a people and I will dwell in midst of you and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you.
“Dukɔ geɖewo ava ƒo ƒu ɖe Yehowa ŋu gbe ma gbe, eye woanye nye amewo. Manɔ mia dome eye mianya be Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae dɔm ɖe mia gbɔ.
12 And he will inherit Yahweh Judah portion his on [the] land of holiness and he will choose again Jerusalem.
Yuda azu Yehowa ƒe gome kple domenyinu le anyigba kɔkɔe la dzi, eye wòagatia Yerusalem.
13 Hush! O all flesh from before Yahweh for he has roused himself from [the] dwelling place of holiness his.
Mi anyigbadzitɔwo katã mizi ɖoɖoe le Yehowa ŋkume, elabena etso le eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la.”
