Zechariah 2
1 Next I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Mgbe m weliri anya m, ahụrụ m otu nwoke ji eriri ihe ọtụtụ nʼaka ya.
2 I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
Ajụrụ m, “Ebee ka ị na-aga?” Ọ sịrị m, “Ana m aga ịtụ Jerusalem, ịchọta ịdị ogologo ya, na ịdị obosara ya.”
3 Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him.
Mgbe mmụọ ozi na-ekwuru m okwu na-apụ, mmụọ ozi ọzọ bịara izute ya,
4 The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, 'Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.
ọ sịrị ya, “Gbaa ọsọ, gwa nwa okorobịa ahụ, sị, ‘Obodo na-enweghị mgbidi ka Jerusalem ga-abụ, nʼihi ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ na anụmanụ ga-ejupụta nʼime ya.
5 For I—this is Yahweh's declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.
Ma mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya mgbidi ọkụ nke ga-agba ya gburugburu.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘Aga m aghọ ebube nʼetiti ya.’
6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration— for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—This is Yahweh's declaration.
“Bịa, lee anya! Sitenụ nʼala dị nʼugwu gbapụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “nʼihi na achụsasịrị m unu nye ikuku anọ nke eluigwe,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!'”
“Bịanụ, unu ndị bi na Zayọn. Gbalaganụ, unu ndị bi nʼala nke ada Babilọn.”
8 For after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you— for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God's eye!—after Yahweh did this, he said,
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Mgbe Onye ahụ dị ebube zipụrụ m ịga megide mba ndị ahụ niile kwakọọrọ ihe unu. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla metụrụ unu aka bụ mkpụrụ anya m ka ọ na-emetụ aka.
9 “I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.
Aghaghị m iweli aka m imegide ha, meekwa ka ndị ohu ha kwakọrọ ihe niile ha nwere. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m.
10 “Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
“Tie mkpu ọṅụ, ka obi tọkwaa gị ụtọ, gị Ada Zayọn. Nʼihi na ana m abịa ibi nʼetiti gị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
11 Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche ga-adịnyere Onyenwe anyị, bụrụkwa ndị nke m. Aga m ebi nʼetiti gị, ị ga-amatakwa na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ka m bịakwute gị.
12 For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa Juda dịka oke ya nʼime ala ahụ dị nsọ. Ọ ga-ahọrọkwa Jerusalem ọzọ.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
Derenụ duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu mmadụ niile, nʼihi na o sitela nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ kpalie onwe ya.”
