Zakkaariyaas 2
1 Ani ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo, namichi funyoo safaraa harkatti qabate tokko fuula koo dura ture!
And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
2 Anis, “Ati garam deemuutti jirta?” jedheen gaafadhe. Innis, “Ani Yerusaalemin safaree balʼinaa fi dheerina ishee beekuufan deema” jedhee naaf deebise.
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 Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun kaʼee deeme; ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan biraa isa arguu dhufee
And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
4 akkana jedheen: “Dhaqiitii dargaggeessa sanatti akkana jedhii himi; ‘Yerusaalem sababii baayʼina namaa fi horii ishee keessa jiraataniitiif magaalaa dallaa hin qabne taati.
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 Ani mataan koo naannoo isheetti dallaa ibiddaa nan taʼa; ishee keessattis ulfina nan taʼa’ jedha Waaqayyo.
And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
6 “Kottaa! Kottaa! Biyya kaabaa sana keessaa baqadhaa” jedha Waaqayyo; “Ani bubbee samii afranitti isin bittinneesseeraatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
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 “Yaa Xiyoon kottu! Ati kan intala Baabilon keessa jiraattu baqadhu!”
Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
8 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedhaatii: “Namni si tuqu kam iyyuu argituu ija isaa waan tuquuf, erga Inni Ulfina Qabeessi saboota si saaman sanatti na ergee booddee,
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 akka garboonni isaanii isaan saamaniif ani dhugumaan harka koo isaanitti ol nan kaafadha. Ergasii isin akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu na erge ni beektu.
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 “Yaa Intala Xiyoon gammadii ililchi. Ani dhufee gidduu kee nan jiraadhaatii” jedha Waaqayyo.
Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
11 “Bara sana saboonni hedduun gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼanii saba koo taʼu. Ani immoo gidduu kee nan jiraadha; ati akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sitti na erge ni beekta.
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 Waaqayyo akkuma qooda isaa kan biyya qulqulluu keessaatti Yihuudaa ni dhaala; Yerusaaleminis deebiʼee ni filata.
And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
13 Sababii inni iddoo jireenya isaa qulqulluu sanaa ol kaʼeef, sanyiin namaa hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti calʼisaa.”
Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
