Zakaria 2

1 Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy lehilahy manana kofehy famolaina eny an-tànany.

And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand 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 say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”

3 Ary, indro, nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko, ary nisy anjely anankiray koa nivoaka hitsena azy

And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going 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 says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

5 Fa Izaho, hoy Jehovah, ho manda afo manodidina azy ary ho voninahitra ao afovoany.

And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her 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.

Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.

7 He! vonjeo ny tenanao, ry Ziona, izay monina ao Babylona zanakavavy.

Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [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 said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His 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 am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.

10 Mihobia sy mifalia, ry Ziona zanakavavy, fa, indro, avy honina ao afovoanao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.

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 have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH 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 YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.

13 Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ry nofo rehetra! fa nifoha avy ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna Izy.

Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
