< Zacarias 2 >

1 Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti maysa a lalaki a nakaiggem iti tali a pagrukod. Kinunak,
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 “Sadino ti papanam?” Kinunana ngarud kaniak, “Rukodek ti Jerusalem tapno maammoak ti kalawa ken kaatiddogna.”
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 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, ket adda rimmuar a maysa pay nga anghel a nangsabat kenkuana.
Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 Kinuna ti maikadua nga anghel kenkuana, “Agtarayka ket kasaritam dayta a bumarito; ibagam, 'Saanto a mapaderan ti Jerusalem gapu kadagiti nakaad-adu a tattao ken ayup iti daytoy.
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 'Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh'—agbalinakto nga apuy a pader iti aglawlawna, ket siakto ti dayag iti tengngana.
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 Agtaraykayo! Agtaraykayo! Aglibaskayo manipud iti daga iti amianan'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'gapu ta inwarawarakayo a kas iti uppat nga angin kadagiti tangatang!' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—
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 'Agtaraykayo! Agkamangkayo iti Sion, dakayo a makipagtataeng iti anak a babai ti Babilonia!”
‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
8 Gapu ta kalpasannak a padayawan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ket imbaonnak a maibusor kadagiti nasion a nagsamsam kadakayo—ta siasinoman a mangsagid kadakayo, sagidenna ti kapapatgan iti imatang ti Dios! —kalpasan nga inaramid ni Yahweh daytoy, kinunana,
For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 “Siak a mismo ti mangraut kadakuada, ket samsamanto ida dagiti tagabuda.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak.
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 “Agkantakayo gapu iti rag-o, dakayo a tattao ti Sion, ta umayakon ket makipagnaedak kadakayo! —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
11 Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, makitiponto kenni Yahweh dagiti nabibileg a nasion. Kunana, “Ket agbalinkayonto a tattaok; ta makipagnaedakto kadakayo.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak kadakayo.
Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
12 Ta tawidento ni Yahweh ti Juda a kas sanikuana idiay nasantoan a daga ket pilliennanto manen ti Jerusalem a para kenkuana.
The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Agulimekkayo, dakayo amin a tattao, iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, gapu ta umayen isuna manipud iti nasantoan a lugarna!
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
