Zechariah 2

1 In sie pac aruruma nga liye mwet se sruok ah in srikasrak soko inpaol.

I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

2 Nga siyuk, “Kom ac som nu ya?” Ac el fahk, “Nga ac som in srikeya acn Jerusalem, ngan konauk lusa ac sralapa.”

Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3 Na nga liye lipufan se ma tuh kaskas nu sik meet ah fahsryak, ac sie pac lipufan tuku in osun nu sel.

And behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went forth to meet him,

4 Lipufan se meet ah fahk nu sin ma se ngia, “Kasrusr ac fahk nu sin mwet fusr se ma sruok ah in srikasrak soko ingo, lah ac mau arulana pukanten mwet ac oayapa ma orakrak in acn Jerusalem, pwanang ac arulana yokla acn ma enenu in kuhlusyukyak.

and said to him, Run, speak to that young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls On account of the multitude of men and of cattle within her.

5 LEUM GOD El wulema mu El sifacna ac fah sie kalkal e in rauneak siti sac Elan karinganang, ac tuh El fah muta we in wolana lal nukewa.”

And I will be to her, saith Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And glory will I be within her.

6 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Tuyak! Tuyak ac kaingla liki acn eir, tuh nga tuh akfahsryekowoselik nu yen nukewa faclu, oana eng akosr lun kusrao.

Ho! ho! flee ye out of the land of the North, saith Jehovah; For toward the four winds of heaven have I scattered you abroad, saith Jehovah.

7 Tuyak, kowos su mwet sruoh in acn Babylonia, ac folokla nu Jerusalem.

Ho, Zion, escape, Thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon!

8 Kutena mwet su sringil kowos, el sringil sie ma su arulana saok nu sik.” Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana El supweyume in us kas inge nu sin mutunfacl nukewa su kunauselik mwet lal ac usalik ma lalos:

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: For glory hath he sent me to the nations which plundered you; (For he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.)

9 “LEUM GOD sifacna El ac fah mweun lain kowos, ac ma lowos ac fah utukelik liki kowos sin mwet su tuh mwet kulansap lowos meet.” Ke pacl se ma inge ac sikyak uh, mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah LEUM GOD Kulana pa supweyume.

For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, And they shall be a spoil to those that served them; And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Jerusalem, kowos on ke engan! Nga ac tuku in muta inmasrlowos!”

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For, behold, I will come, And I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah;

11 In pacl sac mutunfacl puspis ac fah forla nu sin LEUM GOD, ac ekla mwet lal. El ac fah muta inmasrlowos, ac kowos fah etu lah El pa supweyume nu yuruwos.

And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, And shall be my people; And I will dwell in the midst of thee; And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to thee.

12 Na Judah el ac fah sifilpa sie ma na saok sin LEUM GOD in acn mutal sel, ac Jerusalem ac fah siti se su El lungse yohk liki siti nukewa.

And Jehovah will possess Judah as his portion in the holy land, And will again choose Jerusalem.

13 Kowos nukewa mislawin ye mutun LEUM GOD, tuh El oatume liki acn mutal sel.

Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah! For he riseth up from his holy habitation.
