जकरिया 2
1 अनि मैले माथितिर हेरें र एउटा मानिसले आफ्नो हातमा नाप्ने डोरी लिएको देखें ।
Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line/tape.
2 मैले भनें, “तपाईं कहाँ जाँदैहुनुहुन्छ?” उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, यरूशलेमलाई नाप्न, त्यसको लमाइ र चौडाइ थाहा गर्न” ।”
I asked him, “Where are you going?” He replied, “[I am going] to measure Jerusalem, to determine how wide it is and how long it is.”
3 त्यसपछि मसँग कुरा गरिरहेका स्वर्गदूत त्यहाँबाट गए र अर्को एउटा स्वर्गदूत उनलाई भेट्न निस्के ।
Then the angel who had been talking to me started to leave, and another angel walked toward him.
4 दोस्रो स्वर्गदूतले उनलाई भने, “दौडेर जाऊ र त्यस जवान मानिसलाई यस्तो भन, ‘यरूशलेमभित्रका मानिसहरू र पशुहरूको ठुलो संख्याको कारण त्यो पर्खालविनाको देश हुनेछ ।
That other angel said to him, “Run and tell that young man that [some day] there will be very many people and livestock in Jerusalem, with the result that there will be too many to live inside the city walls; many will [live outside] the walls.
5 किनभने म त्यसको वरिपरि आगोको पर्खाल हुनेछु, र त्यसभित्रको महिमा म नै हुनेछु, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
And Yahweh says that he [himself] will be [like] [MET] a wall of fire around [the city], and he will be there with his glory.”
6 जाओ, जाओ, उत्तरको देशबाट भाग - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, किनभने मैले तिमीहरूलाई आकाशका चार बतासझैँ तितर-बितर पारेको छु - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh declares [to the people who were exiled to Babylonia], “Run! Flee from Babylonia [MTY], the country east [of Israel], and flee in all directions from the places where I caused you to be scattered!
7 ए बेबिलोनकी छोरीसँग बस्ने हो, जाओ, भागेर सियोनमा जाओ!’”
You people [who previously lived in] Jerusalem and who [now] live in Babylon, flee from there!
8 किनकि सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले मलाई सम्मानित गर्नुभएर तिमीहरूलाई लुट्ने जातिहरूको विरुद्ध मलाई पठाउनुभएपछि (किनकि जसले तिमीहरूलाई छुन्छ, त्यसले परमेश्वरका आँखाको नानीलाई छुन्छ!) उहाँले भन्नुभयो,
The [armies of the] nations that [attacked you and] took away your valuable possessions have attacked those who are very precious to the Commander of the armies of angels [IDM]. So he says this about me: ‘After I have honored him and sent him to [rebuke] the nations,
9 “तिनीहरूमाथि म आफैँ आफ्ना हात टक्टक्याउनेछु, र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै दासहरूले तिनीहरूलाई लुट्नेछन्।” त्यसपछि सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले मलाई पठाउनुभएको हो भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।
[it is as though] I will strike them with my fist, with the result that those who were their slaves will [now] take back their possessions from those who caused them to become slaves.’ And when that happens, you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels is the one who sent me.”
10 “सियोनकी छोरी, रमाहटको गीत गाऊ, किनकि म आफैँ नै आएर तिमीहरूका बिचमा वास गर्नेछु!- परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
Yahweh says, “[You people of] Jerusalem [APO], shout and be happy, [because] I will be coming [to you] and I will live among you!”
11 त्यसपछि त्यस दिन महान् जातिहरू परमप्रभुकहाँ मिल्न आउनेछन् । उहाँ भन्नुहुन्छ, “अनि तिमीहरू मेरा मानिस हुनेछौ, किनकि म तिमीहरूका बिचमा वास गर्नेछु,” र सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले मलाई पठाउनुभएको हो भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।
At that time, [people of] many nations will be united to Yahweh and will become his people. He will live among [all of] you; and you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels [is the one who] sent me to you.
12 किनकि पवित्र भूमिमा परमप्रभुले यहूदालाई आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारझैँ प्राप्त गर्नुहुनेछ र उहाँले फेरि पनि यरूशलेमलाई आफ्नो निम्ति चुन्नुहुनेछ ।
[The people of] Judah will be a very special part of his sacred country, and Jerusalem will again be the city that he has chosen.
13 सारा मानिस हो, परमप्रभुको अगि शान्त होओ, किनकि उहाँ आफ्नो पवित्र सहरबाट जागिउठ्नुभएको छ ।
Everyone, [everywhere, ] should be silent in the presence of Yahweh, because he [again] will come [down] from the sacred place where he lives in heaven [to do great things for us].
