Zakaria 2
1 Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy lehilahy manana kofehy famolaina eny an-tànany.
Next I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Dia hoy izaho: Ho aiza moa ianao? Ary hoy izy tamiko: Handrefy an’ i Jerosalema hizaha ny sakany sy ny lavany aho.
I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
3 Ary, indro, nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko, ary nisy anjely anankiray koa nivoaka hitsena azy
Then the angel who had talked with me went away 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.
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 Fa Izaho, hoy Jehovah, ho manda afo manodidina azy ary ho voninahitra ao afovoany.
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 He! he! mandosira avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, hoy Jehovah; fa aeliko ho toy ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
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 He! vonjeo ny tenanao, ry Ziona, izay monina ao Babylona zanakavavy.
Up! Escape to Zion, you who live 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 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 Fa, indro, hahinjitro eo amboniny ny tanako, ka hobaboin’ ireo nanompo azy izy; dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy.
“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 Mihobia sy mifalia, ry Ziona zanakavavy, fa, indro, avy honina ao afovoanao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
“Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
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.
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 Ary Jehovah hanana an’ i Joda ho anjarany ao amin’ ny tany masìna ary mbola hifidy an’ i Jerosalema indray.
For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
13 Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ry nofo rehetra! fa nifoha avy ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna Izy.
Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
