Zechariah 2
1 And Y reiside myn iyen, and siy, and lo! a man, and lo! in his hoond a litil coorde of meteris.
Ngaphakamisa amehlo ami futhi, ngabona, khangela-ke umuntu, olentambo yokulinganisa esandleni sakhe.
2 And Y seide, Whidir goist thou? And he seide to me, That Y mete Jerusalem, and Judee; hou myche is the breede therof, and hou myche is the lengthe therof.
Ngasengisithi: Uya ngaphi? Wasesithi kimi: Ukuyalinganisa iJerusalema, ukubona ukuthi bungakanani ububanzi bayo, lokuthi bungakanani ubude bayo.
3 And lo! the aungel that spak in me, wente out, and another aungel wente out in to the metyng of hym, and seide to hym,
Khangela-ke, ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yaphuma, lenye ingilosi yaphuma ukuyihlangabeza.
4 Renne thou, speke to this child, and seie thou, Jerusalem shal be enhabitid with out wal, for the multitude of men and of beestis in the myddil therof.
Yathi kuyo: Gijima, ukhulume lalelijaha usithi: IJerusalema izahlalwa njengemizi engelamiduli ngenxa yobunengi babantu lezifuyo okuphakathi kwayo.
5 And Y schal be to it, seith the Lord, a wal of fier in cumpas; and Y schal be in glorie in myddil therof.
Ngoba mina, itsho iNkosi, ngizakuba kuyo ngumduli womlilo inhlangothi zonke, ngibe yinkazimulo phakathi kwayo.
6 A! A! A! fle ye fro the lond of the north, seith the Lord, for in foure wyndis of heuene Y scateride you, seith the Lord.
Heyi, heyi! Balekani-ke lisuke elizweni lenyakatho, itsho iNkosi; ngoba ngilihlakazile njengemimoya yomine yamazulu, itsho iNkosi.
7 A! thou Sion, fle, that dwellist at the douyter of Babiloyne.
Heyi, Ziyoni, phunyuka, wena ohlala lendodakazi yeBhabhiloni!
8 For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Emva kwenkazimulo yangithuma ezizweni ezaliphangayo; ngoba olithintayo uthinta inhlamvu yelihlo layo.
9 For lo! Y reise myn hond on hem, and thei schulen be preyes to these that seruyden hem; and ye schulen knowe, that the Lord of oostis sente me.
Ngoba, khangela, ngizanyikinya isandla sami phezu kwazo, njalo zizakuba yimpango kuzo izinceku zabo; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi yamabandla ingithumile.
10 Douyter of Sion, herie thou, and be glad; for lo! Y come, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee, seith the Lord.
Hlabelela uthokoze, ndodakazi yeZiyoni; ngoba, khangela ngiyeza, njalo ngizahlala phakathi kwakho, itsho iNkosi.
11 And many folkis schulen be applied to the Lord in that dai, and thei schulen be to me in to puple, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee; and thou schalt wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to thee.
Lezizwe ezinengi zizahlanganiswa leNkosi ngalolosuku, zibe ngabantu bami; njalo ngizahlala phakathi kwakho, njalo uzakwazi ukuthi iNkosi yamabandla ingithumile kuwe.
12 And the Lord schal welde Juda in to his part, in the loud halewid, and schal cheese yit Jerusalem.
Njalo iNkosi izakudla ilifa lakoJuda isabelo sayo, elizweni elingcwele, ikhethe iJerusalema futhi.
13 Ech fleisch be stil fro the face of the Lord, for he roos of his hooli dwelling place.
Thula, nyama yonke, phambi kweNkosi; ngoba ivusiwe endaweni yayo yokuhlala engcwele.
