Zakaria 2

1 Nampiandraeko maso le nahatrea te ingo t’indaty minday talim-panjeheañe am-pità’e.

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Le hoe iraho: Homb’aia v’iheo? Le hoe re amako: Hanjehe Ierosalaime, hahaisake ty am-pohe’e naho ty an-dava’e.

Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

3 Aa le ingo nionjom-beo i anjely nisaontsy amakoy, vaho niakatse mb’eo ka ty anjely raike hifanalaka ama’e,

Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

4 le nanoe’e ty hoe: Mihitrifa, saontsio ty hoe amo ajalahio: Himoneñe tsy aman-kijoly t’Ierosalaime ty ami’ty hatsifotofoto’ ondaty naho añombe ama’e.

and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

5 Amy te, Izaho, hoe t’Iehovà ty ho kijolin’ afo ama’e hañarikatok’ aze; Izaho ty ho enge’e añivo’e ao.

For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

6 Hoke! mirifata boak’ an-tane avaratse añe, hoe t’Iehovà; fa naboeleko añe manahake o tiok’efa’ i likerañeio nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.

Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

7 Hoke! ry Tsione, mibolitiora ry mpimoneñe amy anak’ ampela’ i Baveley;

‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

8 fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màro, nañirak’ ahy hitoha engeñe amo fifeheañe nikopak’ azoo: Toe mipaoke ty saintem-pihainoko ze mitsapa anahareo.

For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

9 Ingo te hahelahelako ambone’ iereo ty tañako, le ho fikopaha’ o nitoroñe iareoo; vaho ho fohi’o te Iehovà ro nañirak’ ahy.

For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

10 Misaboa naho mirebeha, ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione; fa ingo ho avy iraho himoneñe añivo’o ao, hoe t’Iehovà.

Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

11 Maro o fifeheañe hirekets’ am’ Iehovà amy andro zaio ty ho ondatiko, le himoneñe añivo’o ao iraho; vaho hapota’o te Iehovà’ i maroy ro nañirak’ ahy.

Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

12 Ho rambese’ Iehovà t’Iehoda ho anjara’e amy tane miavakey vaho ho joboñe’e indraike t’Ierosalaime.

Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

13 Mianjiña, ze kila nofotse, añatrefa’ Iehovà, ie fa nivañoñe naho niavotse i akiba’e miavakey.

Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
