Zechariah 2

1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.

Naʻa ku toe hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae afo ko e fua.

2 Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.

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.”

3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;

Pea ʻiloange naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa, pea ʻalu atu mo e ʻāngelo ʻe taha ko hono fakafetaulaki.

4 And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.

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:

5 But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be in the midst of her.

‌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.”

6 Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.

“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.

7 Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

‌ʻE Saione, fakamoʻui koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nonofo mo e ʻofefine ʻo Papilone.”

8 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

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.”

9 For, behold, I will swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.

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.

10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

“ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, hiva mo fakafiefia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, vakai ʻoku ou haʻu, pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou.”

11 And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

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.

12 And the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.

Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siuta, ko hono tofiʻa, ʻi he fonua māʻoniʻoni, pea te ne toe fili ʻa Selūsalema.

13 Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.

Ke longo hifo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova! He kuo tuʻu hake ia mo hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
