Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Mgbe m weliri anya m, ahụrụ m otu nwoke ji eriri ihe ọtụtụ nʼaka ya.
2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
Ajụrụ m, “Ebee ka ị na-aga?” Ọ sịrị m, “Ana m aga ịtụ Jerusalem, ịchọta ịdị ogologo ya, na ịdị obosara ya.”
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
Mgbe mmụọ ozi na-ekwuru m okwu na-apụ, mmụọ ozi ọzọ bịara izute ya,
4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
ọ sịrị ya, “Gbaa ọsọ, gwa nwa okorobịa ahụ, sị, ‘Obodo na-enweghị mgbidi ka Jerusalem ga-abụ, nʼihi ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ na anụmanụ ga-ejupụta nʼime ya.
5 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
Ma mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya mgbidi ọkụ nke ga-agba ya gburugburu.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘Aga m aghọ ebube nʼetiti ya.’
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.
“Bịa, lee anya! Sitenụ nʼala dị nʼugwu gbapụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “nʼihi na achụsasịrị m unu nye ikuku anọ nke eluigwe,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
“Bịanụ, unu ndị bi na Zayọn. Gbalaganụ, unu ndị bi nʼala nke ada Babilọn.”
8 For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Mgbe Onye ahụ dị ebube zipụrụ m ịga megide mba ndị ahụ niile kwakọọrọ ihe unu. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla metụrụ unu aka bụ mkpụrụ anya m ka ọ na-emetụ aka.
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me.
Aghaghị m iweli aka m imegide ha, meekwa ka ndị ohu ha kwakọrọ ihe niile ha nwere. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
“Tie mkpu ọṅụ, ka obi tọkwaa gị ụtọ, gị Ada Zayọn. Nʼihi na ana m abịa ibi nʼetiti gị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche ga-adịnyere Onyenwe anyị, bụrụkwa ndị nke m. Aga m ebi nʼetiti gị, ị ga-amatakwa na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ka m bịakwute gị.
12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa Juda dịka oke ya nʼime ala ahụ dị nsọ. Ọ ga-ahọrọkwa Jerusalem ọzọ.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
Derenụ duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu mmadụ niile, nʼihi na o sitela nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ kpalie onwe ya.”
