< Sakalaia 2 >
1 Naʻa ku toe hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae afo ko e fua.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hoʻo ʻalu ʻena ki fē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke fua ʻa Selūsalema mo vakai pe ʻoku fēfē hono māukupu, pea fēfē mo hono lōloa ʻo ia.”
“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”
3 Pea ʻiloange naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa, pea ʻalu atu mo e ʻāngelo ʻe taha ko hono fakafetaulaki.
Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him
4 Pea ne pehē mai kiate ia, “Lele mo lea ki he tangata talavou na,” ʻo pehē, “ʻE kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi, koeʻuhi ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai mo e fanga manu ʻi ai:
and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.
5 ʻE ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u hangē au ko e ʻa afi ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, pea ko au ko e nāunau ʻi hono lotolotonga.”
For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
6 “ʻE! ʻE! hola mei he fonua ʻi he potu tokelau, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova! He kuo u fakamovete ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e matangi ki he feituʻu ʻe fā ʻoe langi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
7 ʻE Saione, fakamoʻui koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nonofo mo e ʻofefine ʻo Papilone.”
“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”
8 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he nāunau kuo ne fekau atu au ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi koe: he ko ia ʻoku ala kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne ala ki he kanoʻi mata ʻuli ʻo hoku mata.”
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—
9 He vakai, te u tupeʻi hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe vete ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki: pea te mou ʻilo ai kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”
10 “ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, hiva mo fakafiefia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, vakai ʻoku ou haʻu, pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou.”
“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.
11 Pea ʻe lahi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe kau mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea nau hoko ko hoku kakai; pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou, pea te ke ʻilo ai kuo fekau au kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.
12 Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siuta, ko hono tofiʻa, ʻi he fonua māʻoniʻoni, pea te ne toe fili ʻa Selūsalema.
And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.
13 Ke longo hifo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova! He kuo tuʻu hake ia mo hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
