Zechariah 2
1 Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
A LAWA hou ae la kuu mau maka iluna, ike ae la, aia hoi, he kanaka me ke kaula-ana ma kona lima.
2 I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and length.’
I aku la au, Aihea la oe e hele ana? I mai la kela ia'u, E ana iho ai ia Ierusalema, i ike au i kona laula a me kona loa.
3 Then the messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger went out to meet him,
Aia hoi, hele aku la ka anela i kamailio me au, a hele aku la hoi kekahi anela e ae e halawai me ia;
4 and said to him, ‘Run and tell to that young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited like a village without walls, because so many people and cattle will live there.
A olelo aku la ia ia, E holo aku oe, e olelo aku i keia kanaka opiopio, penei, E noho puni ole i ka pa na kanaka o Ierusalema, no ka nui o na kanaka a me na holoholona iloko.
5 For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire her, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
No ka mea, owau auanei he paku ahi nona a puni, wahi a Iehova, a owau hoi iloko ona he nani.
6 Up! Away! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the Lord.
Ea! ea! e holo hoi oukou mai ka aina kukuluakau aku, wahi a Iehova: no ka mea, ua hoopuehu aku au ia oukou me na makani eha o ka honua, wahi a Iehova.
7 Up, escape to Zion, you who live in Babylon.
E Ziona e, e hoopakele ia oe iho, e ka mea e noho pu ana me ke kaikamahine a Babulona.
8 This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, Mahope o ka nani, ua hoouna mai oia ia'u i na lahuikanaka, i ka poe nana oukou i hao mai; no ka mea, o ka mea hoopa aku ia oukou, hoopa no ia i ka onohi o kona maka.
9 I will raise my hand against them. They will be plunder for their own slaves; and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
Aia hoi, e lulu aku no au i kuu lima maluna o lakou, a e haoia'ku lakou e ko lakou poe kauwa; a e ike auanei oukou ua hoouna mai o Iehova o na kaua ia'u.
10 ‘Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! I am coming, I will live among you, says the Lord.
E olioli, e hauoli hoi, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona; no ka mea, aia hoi, e hele aku ana au, a e noho au iwaena pu o oukou, wahi a Iehova.
11 Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day, and will be his people, and he will live among you. You will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
Ia la hoi, he nui na lahuikanaka e hui aku ia lakou iho me Iehova, a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a e noho no wau iwaena pu o oukou; a e ike auanei oukou na Iehova o na kaua wau i hoouna mai iou la.
12 The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.
A e komo auanei o Iehova i ka Iuda i kuleana nona ma ka aina hoano, a e koho hou oia ia Ierusalema.
13 Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.’
E hamau oukou, e na kanaka a pau imua o Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoalaia'e oia mai kona noho hoano ae.
