Sekaryaah 2

1 Oo anna indhahaygii baan kor u qaaday, oo wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay nin gacanta ku haysta xadhig qiyaaseed.

Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Kolkaasaan idhi, War xaggee baad u socotaa? Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxaan u socdaa inaan Yeruusaalem soo qiyaaso oo aan soo ogaado intuu ballaadhkeedu yahay, iyo intuu dhererkeedu yahayba.

I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and length.’

3 Oo bal eeg, malaggii ila hadlay ayaa baxay, oo malag kale ayaa u baxay inuu isaga ka hor tago.

Then the messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger went out to meet him,

4 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Orod, oo la hadal ninkaas dhallinyarada ah, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Yeruusaalem waxaa loo degi doonaa sidii tuulooyin aan deyr lahayn, sababtuna waa dadka tirobadnaantiisa iyo xoolaha iyada dhex jooga daraaddood.

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.

5 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan iyada u noqon doonaa deyr dab ah oo iyada ku wareegsan, oo waxaan iyada u noqon doonaa ammaanta dhexdeeda joogta.

For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire her, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Warroy dalka woqooyi ka carara, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idiin kala firdhiyey sida afarta dabaylood oo samada.

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.

7 Siyoonay, tan dadka Baabuloon la joogtoy, baxso.

Up, escape to Zion, you who live in Babylon.

8 Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Ammaan dabadeed wuxuu ii soo diray quruumihii adiga ku dhacay, waayo, kii ku taabto wuxuu taabtaa ishiisa inankeeda.

This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.

9 Waayo, bal eega, Gacantayda ayaan iyaga ku kor ruxruxi doonaa, oo iyana waxay booli u noqon doonaan kuwii iyaga u adeegi jiray, oo idinna waxaad ogaan doontaan in Rabbiga ciidammadu i soo diray.

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.

10 Magaalada Siyoonay, gabay oo reyree, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu waan imanayaa oo dhexdaadaan degganaan doonaa.

‘Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! I am coming, I will live among you, says the Lord.

11 Oo wakhtigaas quruumo badan ayaa Rabbiga isugu darmi doona, oo dadkaygay noqon doonaan, oo dhexdaadaan degganaan doonaa, oo adna waxaad ogaan doontaa in Rabbiga ciidammadii ii soo kaa diray.

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.

12 Oo Rabbiguna dadka dalka Yahuudah wuu dhaxli doonaa iyagoo qaybtiisa ku ah dalka quduuska ah, oo weliba Yeruusaalem buu dooran doonaa.

The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.

13 Binu-aadmiga oo dhammow, Rabbiga hortiisa ku aamusa, waayo, isagu waa ka soo kacay hoygiisii quduuska ahaa.

Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.’
