Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ningĩ ngĩtiira maitho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa ngĩona mũndũ wanyiitĩte rũrigi rũa gũthima na guoko gwake.
2 And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, wathiĩ kũ?” Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndathiĩ gũthima itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, nĩguo menye wariĩ o na ũraihu warĩo.”
3 And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,
Na rĩrĩ, mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria agĩthiĩ, nake mũraika ũngĩ agĩũka kũmũtũnga,
4 and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein;
akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tengʼera wĩre mwanake ũcio atĩrĩ, ‘Jerusalemu rĩgaatuĩka itũũra inene rĩtarĩ thingo, nĩ ũndũ wa ũingĩ wa andũ na mahiũ marĩa magaakorwo kuo.’
5 and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
Jehova ekuuga ũũ, ‘Niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngaatuĩka rũthingo rwa mwaki ndĩrĩthiũrũrũkĩrie, na nduĩke riiri thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu.’”
6 Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.
Jehova ekuuga ũũ, “Ũkai, ũkai! Ũrai muume bũrũri wa mwena wa gathigathini, nĩgũkorwo ndĩmũharaganĩirie mĩena yothe ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga huho cia igũrũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
7 Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
“Ũka, wee Zayuni! Wĩthare, o wee ũtũũraga kwa Mwarĩ wa Babuloni!”
8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Thuutha wa kũũhe gĩtĩĩo, akĩndũma ngahũũrane na ndũrĩrĩ iria ciatahĩte indo cianyu. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa wothe ũmũhutagia inyuĩ nĩ kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩa Ngai ahutagia.
9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.
Ti-itherũ nĩngambararia guoko gwakwa ndĩmookĩrĩre, nacio ngombo ciao itahe indo ciao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũkaamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
10 Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
“Wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni-rĩ, anĩrĩra na ũkene, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrooka gũtũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
“Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩikanyiitithanio na Jehova, na nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa. Ngaatũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu na nĩmũkamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [as] his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Jehova nĩakagaya Juda gũtuĩke igai rĩake bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mũtheru, na nĩagethuurĩra Jerusalemu o rĩngĩ.
13 Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
Hoorerai harĩ Jehova inyuĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩa thĩ tondũ nĩeyarahũrĩte kuuma gĩikaro-ini gĩake gĩtheru.
