Zechariah 2
1 Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line/tape.
A LAWA hou ae la kuu mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, he kanaka me ke kaula-ana ma kona lima.
2 I asked him, “Where are you going?” He replied, “[I am going] to measure Jerusalem, to determine how wide it is and how long it is.”
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 Then the angel who had been talking to me started to leave, and another angel walked toward 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 That other angel said to him, “Run and tell that young man that [some day] there will be very many people and livestock in Jerusalem, with the result that there will be too many to live inside the city walls; many will [live outside] the walls.
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 Yahweh says that he [himself] will be [like] [MET] a wall of fire around [the city], and he will be there with his glory.”
No ka mea, owau auanei he paku ahi nona a puni, wahi a Iehova, a owau hoi iloko ona he nani.
6 Yahweh declares [to the people who were exiled to Babylonia], “Run! Flee from Babylonia [MTY], the country east [of Israel], and flee in all directions from the places where I caused you to be scattered!
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 You people [who previously lived in] Jerusalem and who [now] live in Babylon, flee from there!
E Ziona e, e hoopakele ia oe iho, e ka mea e noho pu ana me ke kaikamahine a Babulona.
8 The [armies of the] nations that [attacked you and] took away your valuable possessions have attacked those who are very precious to the Commander of the armies of angels [IDM]. So he says this about me: ‘After I have honored him and sent him to [rebuke] the nations,
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 [it is as though] I will strike them with my fist, with the result that those who were their slaves will [now] take back their possessions from those who caused them to become slaves.’ And when that happens, you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels is the one who 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 Yahweh says, “[You people of] Jerusalem [APO], shout and be happy, [because] I will be coming [to you] and I will live among you!”
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 At that time, [people of] many nations will be united to Yahweh and will become his people. He will live among [all of] you; and you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels [is the one who] 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 [The people of] Judah will be a very special part of his sacred country, and Jerusalem will again be the city that he has chosen.
A e komo auanei o Iehova i ka Iuda i kuleana nona ma ka aina hoano, a e koho hou oia ia Ierusalema.
13 Everyone, [everywhere, ] should be silent in the presence of Yahweh, because he [again] will come [down] from the sacred place where he lives in heaven [to do great things for us].
E hamau oukou, e na kanaka a pau imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoalaia'e oia mai kona noho hoano ae.
