Zakaria 2
1 Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy lehilahy manana kofehy famolaina eny an-tànany.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
2 Dia hoy izaho: Ho aiza moa ianao? Ary hoy izy tamiko: Handrefy an’ i Jerosalema hizaha ny sakany sy ny lavany aho.
And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”
3 Ary, indro, nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko, ary nisy anjely anankiray koa nivoaka hitsena azy
And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihazakazaha, ka milazà amin’ io zatovo io hoe: Honenana toy ny tanana tsy mimanda Jerosalema noho ny hamaroan’ ny olona sy ny biby fiompy ao aminy.
And he said to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
5 Fa Izaho, hoy Jehovah, ho manda afo manodidina azy ary ho voninahitra ao afovoany.
And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
6 He! he! mandosira avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, hoy Jehovah; fa aeliko ho toy ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
7 He! vonjeo ny tenanao, ry Ziona, izay monina ao Babylona zanakavavy.
O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hampiseho voninahitra no nanirahany ahy tany amin’ ny firenena izay namabo anareo; fa izay mikasika anareo dia mikasika ny anakandriamasony.
For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.
9 Fa, indro, hahinjitro eo amboniny ny tanako, ka hobaboin’ ireo nanompo azy izy; dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy.
For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
10 Mihobia sy mifalia, ry Ziona zanakavavy, fa, indro, avy honina ao afovoanao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
11 Ary firenena maro no hanaiky ho an’ i Jehovah amin’ izany andro izany ka ho oloko; ary hitoetra ao afovoanao aho, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminao.
And many nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
12 Ary Jehovah hanana an’ i Joda ho anjarany ao amin’ ny tany masìna ary mbola hifidy an’ i Jerosalema indray.
And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
13 Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ry nofo rehetra! fa nifoha avy ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna Izy.
Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
