Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Sa’an nan na ɗaga kai sai na ga mutum a tsaye riƙe da ma’auni a hannunsa!
2 And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much its length.'
Sai na yi tambaya, na ce, “Ina za ka?” Ya amsa mini ya ce, “Zan je in auna Urushalima, in ga yadda fāɗinta da tsawonta suke.”
3 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
Sai mala’ikan da yake yi mini magana ya tafi, sai wani mala’ika ya zo ya same shi
4 and he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
ya ce masa, “Yi gudu, gaya wa saurayin can cewa, ‘Urushalima za tă zama birni marar katanga domin mutane da dabbobi masu yawa ƙwarai za su kasance a cikinta.
5 And I — I am to her — an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.
Ni da kaina ne zan zama katangar wuta kewaye da birnin, in kuma zama darajarta,’ in ji Ubangiji.
6 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Zo! Zo! Ku gudu daga ƙasar arewa,” in ji Ubangiji, “gama na warwatsa ku a kusurwoyi huɗu na sama,” in ji Ubangiji.
7 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
“Zo, ya ke Sihiyona! Ku tsere, ku masu zama a cikin Diyar Babilon!”
8 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.
Gama ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Bayan ya ɗaukaka ni, ya kuma aiko ni ga ƙasashen da suka washe ku gama duk wanda ya taɓa ku ya taɓa ƙwayar idonsa ne.
9 For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me.
Ba shakka zan tā da hannuna a kansu domin bayinsu su washe su. Sa’an nan za ku san cewa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko ni.
10 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Ki yi sowa ki yi murna, ya ke Diyar Sihiyona. Gama ina zuwa, zan zauna a cikinki,” in ji Ubangiji.
11 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.
“Ƙasashe da yawa za su haɗa kai da Ubangiji a ranan nan, za su kuma zama mutanena. Zan zauna a cikinku, za ku kuma san cewa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko ni gare ku.
12 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.
Ubangiji zai gāji Yahuda a matsayin rabonsa a cikin ƙasa mai tsarki zai kuma sāke zaɓi Urushalima.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'
Ku yi tsit a gaban Ubangiji, dukanku’yan adam, gama ya taso daga wurin zamansa mai tsarki.”
