< Zechariah 2 >

1 Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line/tape.
Oo anna indhahaygii baan kor u qaaday, oo wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay nin gacanta ku haysta xadhig qiyaaseed.
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.”
Kolkaasaan idhi, War xaggee baad u socotaa? Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxaan u socdaa inaan Yeruusaalem soo qiyaaso oo aan soo ogaado intuu ballaadhkeedu yahay, iyo intuu dhererkeedu yahayba.
3 Then the angel who had been talking to me started to leave, and another angel walked toward him.
Oo bal eeg, malaggii ila hadlay ayaa baxay, oo malag kale ayaa u baxay inuu isaga ka hor tago.
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.
Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Orod, oo la hadal ninkaas dhallinyarada ah, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Yeruusaalem waxaa loo degi doonaa sidii tuulooyin aan deyr lahayn, sababtuna waa dadka tirobadnaantiisa iyo xoolaha iyada dhex jooga daraaddood.
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.”
Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan iyada u noqon doonaa deyr dab ah oo iyada ku wareegsan, oo waxaan iyada u noqon doonaa ammaanta dhexdeeda joogta.
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!
Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Warroy dalka woqooyi ka carara, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idiin kala firdhiyey sida afarta dabaylood oo samada.
7 You people [who previously lived in] Jerusalem and who [now] live in Babylon, flee from there!
Siyoonay, tan dadka Baabuloon la joogtoy, baxso.
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,
Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Ammaan dabadeed wuxuu ii soo diray quruumihii adiga ku dhacay, waayo, kii ku taabto wuxuu taabtaa ishiisa inankeeda.
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.”
Waayo, bal eega, Gacantayda ayaan iyaga ku kor ruxruxi doonaa, oo iyana waxay booli u noqon doonaan kuwii iyaga u adeegi jiray, oo idinna waxaad ogaan doontaan in Rabbiga ciidammadu i soo diray.
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!”
Magaalada Siyoonay, gabay oo reyree, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu waan imanayaa oo dhexdaadaan degganaan doonaa.
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.
Oo wakhtigaas quruumo badan ayaa Rabbiga isugu darmi doona, oo dadkaygay noqon doonaan, oo dhexdaadaan degganaan doonaa, oo adna waxaad ogaan doontaa in Rabbiga ciidammadii ii soo kaa diray.
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.
Oo Rabbiguna dadka dalka Yahuudah wuu dhaxli doonaa iyagoo qaybtiisa ku ah dalka quduuska ah, oo weliba Yeruusaalem buu dooran doonaa.
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].
Binu-aadmiga oo dhammow, Rabbiga hortiisa ku aamusa, waayo, isagu waa ka soo kacay hoygiisii quduuska ahaa.
