Zechariah 2

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

Next I lifted up my eyes and saw 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.”

I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”

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

Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out 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.

The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, 'Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts 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.”

For I—this is Yahweh's declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.

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.

Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration— for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—This is Yahweh's declaration.

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

Up! Escape to Zion, you who live 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 after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you— for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God's eye!—after Yahweh did this, he said,

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.

“I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.

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

“Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”

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.

Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.

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.

For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.

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

Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
