Zekaria 2

1 Ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo angʼicho mi naneno ngʼat moro motingʼo tond pimo e lwete!

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

2 Eka napenjo niya, “Idhi kanye?” Nodwoka niya, “Adhi pimo Jerusalem mondo angʼe lachne gi borne.”

Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth, and what [is] its length.

3 Eka malaika mane loso koda noa, kendo malaika machielo nobiro mondo oromne

And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

4 kendo nowachone niya, “Ringi inyis wuowi matin cha ni, ‘Jerusalem biro bedo dala ma ok ochiel gi ohinga nikech ji kod jamni mabiro dak e iye biro bedo mangʼeny mohinge.

And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it.

5 Kendo an awuon abiro bedone ohinga mar mach molwore kendo abiro bedone duongʼ maler e diere,’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.

For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ringi ia e piny man yo nyandwat, nikech asekeyou nyaka e tunge angʼwen mag polo.

Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

7 “Un joma odak e piny nyar Babulon ringuru utony udhi Sayun!”

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho, “Bangʼ ka osemiya duongʼ kendo oseora mondo arad gi pinje mosepeyou, kendo mondo anyisgi ni ngʼato angʼata momulou osoko mana tong wangʼ Nyasaye,

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 to abiro kumogi mi wasumbini mag-gi giwegi pegi. Eka unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora.”

For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

10 Jehova Nyasaye wachone nyar Sayun niya, “Koguru matek kendo beduru mabor nikech abiro dak e dieru.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

11 Pinje mangʼeny noriwre gi Jehova Nyasaye e odiechiengʼno kendo ginibed joga. Anadag e dieru kendo unungʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iru.

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee.

12 Jehova Nyasaye nokaw Juda kaka girkeni mare e piny maler, kendo enochak oyier Jerusalem.

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

13 Ji duto mondo olingʼ thi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osewuok oa kar dakne maler.”

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
