Zechariah 2
1 Next I lifted up my eyes and saw 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 I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
Ne mubuuza nti, “Ogenda wa?” Nanziramu nti, “Ŋŋenda kupima Yerusaalemi okulaba obuwanvu n’obugazi bwakyo.”
3 Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him.
Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’agenda, malayika omulala n’amusisinkana.
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.
N’amugamba nti, “Dduka ogambe omuvubuka oyo nti, ‘Yerusaalemi kijja kuba ekibuga ekitaliiko bbugwe olw’obungi bw’abantu n’ebisibo ebinaabeeramu.
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.
Nze ndiba bbugwe ow’omuliro, okukyebungulula enjuuyi zonna era nze ndiba ekitiibwa kyakyo mu kyo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
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.
“Kale mudduke, mudduke ensi ey’obukiikakkono mugiveemu,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “kubanga mbasaasanyizza ng’empewo ennya ez’eggulu bwe ziri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!'”
“Mmwe Sayuuni mudduke, mudukke muwone mmwe ababeera mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni.”
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,
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 “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.
Kubanga laba ndyolesa omukono gwange gye bali, abaddu baabwe ne babanyaga. Olwo lwe mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma.
10 “Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
“Yimba, osanyuke ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga laba nzija era ndibeera wakati mu mmwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
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.
“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 For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
Era Yuda aliba mugabo gwa Mukama mu nsi entukuvu, era aliddamu okwerondera Yerusaalemi.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
Musiriikirire, abantu mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga asituse okuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.”
