Zekaraya 2
1 Mgbe m weliri anya m, ahụrụ m otu nwoke ji eriri ihe ọtụtụ nʼaka ya.
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Ajụrụ m, “Ebee ka ị na-aga?” Ọ sịrị m, “Ana m aga ịtụ Jerusalem, ịchọta ịdị ogologo ya, na ịdị obosara ya.”
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.”
3 Mgbe mmụọ ozi na-ekwuru m okwu na-apụ, mmụọ ozi ọzọ bịara izute ya,
Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 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.
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.
5 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.’
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.
6 “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.
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.
7 “Bịanụ, unu ndị bi na Zayọn. Gbalaganụ, unu ndị bi nʼala nke ada Babilọn.”
‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
8 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.
For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 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.
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 Armies has sent me.
10 “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.
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
11 “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.
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 Armies has sent me to you.
12 Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa Juda dịka oke ya nʼime ala ahụ dị nsọ. Ọ ga-ahọrọkwa Jerusalem ọzọ.
The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Derenụ duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu mmadụ niile, nʼihi na o sitela nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ kpalie onwe ya.”
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
