< Zechariah 2 >

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Nampiandraeko maso le nahatrea te ingo t’indaty minday talim-panjeheañe am-pità’e.
2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
Le hoe iraho: Homb’aia v’iheo? Le hoe re amako: Hanjehe Ierosalaime, hahaisake ty am-pohe’e naho ty an-dava’e.
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
Aa le ingo nionjom-beo i anjely nisaontsy amakoy, vaho niakatse mb’eo ka ty anjely raike hifanalaka ama’e,
4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
le nanoe’e ty hoe: Mihitrifa, saontsio ty hoe amo ajalahio: Himoneñe tsy aman-kijoly t’Ierosalaime ty ami’ty hatsifotofoto’ ondaty naho añombe ama’e.
5 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
Amy te, Izaho, hoe t’Iehovà ty ho kijolin’ afo ama’e hañarikatok’ aze; Izaho ty ho enge’e añivo’e ao.
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.
Hoke! mirifata boak’ an-tane avaratse añe, hoe t’Iehovà; fa naboeleko añe manahake o tiok’efa’ i likerañeio nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
Hoke! ry Tsione, mibolitiora ry mpimoneñe amy anak’ ampela’ i Baveley;
8 For the LORD of Hosts says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màro, nañirak’ ahy hitoha engeñe amo fifeheañe nikopak’ azoo: Toe mipaoke ty saintem-pihainoko ze mitsapa anahareo.
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me.
Ingo te hahelahelako ambone’ iereo ty tañako, le ho fikopaha’ o nitoroñe iareoo; vaho ho fohi’o te Iehovà ro nañirak’ ahy.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
Misaboa naho mirebeha, ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione; fa ingo ho avy iraho himoneñe añivo’o ao, hoe t’Iehovà.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell amongst you, and you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.
Maro o fifeheañe hirekets’ am’ Iehovà amy andro zaio ty ho ondatiko, le himoneñe añivo’o ao iraho; vaho hapota’o te Iehovà’ i maroy ro nañirak’ ahy.
12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Ho rambese’ Iehovà t’Iehoda ho anjara’e amy tane miavakey vaho ho joboñe’e indraike t’Ierosalaime.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
Mianjiña, ze kila nofotse, añatrefa’ Iehovà, ie fa nivañoñe naho niavotse i akiba’e miavakey.
