Zechariah 2
1 Then I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line/tape.
Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti maysa a lalaki a nakaiggem iti tali a pagrukod. Kinunak,
2 I asked him, “Where are you going?” He replied, “[I am going] to measure Jerusalem, to determine how wide it is and how long it is.”
“Sadino ti papanam?” Kinunana ngarud kaniak, “Rukodek ti Jerusalem tapno maammoak ti kalawa ken kaatiddogna.”
3 Then the angel who had been talking to me started to leave, and another angel walked toward him.
Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, ket adda rimmuar a maysa pay nga anghel a nangsabat kenkuana.
4 That other angel said to him, “Run and tell that young man that [some day] there will be very many people and livestock in Jerusalem, with the result that there will be too many to live inside the city walls; many will [live outside] the walls.
Kinuna ti maikadua nga anghel kenkuana, “Agtarayka ket kasaritam dayta a bumarito; ibagam, 'Saanto a mapaderan ti Jerusalem gapu kadagiti nakaad-adu a tattao ken ayup iti daytoy.
5 And Yahweh says that he [himself] will be [like] [MET] a wall of fire around [the city], and he will be there with his glory.”
'Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh'—agbalinakto nga apuy a pader iti aglawlawna, ket siakto ti dayag iti tengngana.
6 Yahweh declares [to the people who were exiled to Babylonia], “Run! Flee from Babylonia [MTY], the country east [of Israel], and flee in all directions from the places where I caused you to be scattered!
Agtaraykayo! Agtaraykayo! Aglibaskayo manipud iti daga iti amianan'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—'gapu ta inwarawarakayo a kas iti uppat nga angin kadagiti tangatang!' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—
7 You people [who previously lived in] Jerusalem and who [now] live in Babylon, flee from there!
'Agtaraykayo! Agkamangkayo iti Sion, dakayo a makipagtataeng iti anak a babai ti Babilonia!”
8 The [armies of the] nations that [attacked you and] took away your valuable possessions have attacked those who are very precious to the Commander of the armies of angels [IDM]. So he says this about me: ‘After I have honored him and sent him to [rebuke] the nations,
Gapu ta kalpasannak a padayawan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ket imbaonnak a maibusor kadagiti nasion a nagsamsam kadakayo—ta siasinoman a mangsagid kadakayo, sagidenna ti kapapatgan iti imatang ti Dios! —kalpasan nga inaramid ni Yahweh daytoy, kinunana,
9 [it is as though] I will strike them with my fist, with the result that those who were their slaves will [now] take back their possessions from those who caused them to become slaves.’ And when that happens, you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels is the one who sent me.”
“Siak a mismo ti mangraut kadakuada, ket samsamanto ida dagiti tagabuda.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak.
10 Yahweh says, “[You people of] Jerusalem [APO], shout and be happy, [because] I will be coming [to you] and I will live among you!”
“Agkantakayo gapu iti rag-o, dakayo a tattao ti Sion, ta umayakon ket makipagnaedak kadakayo! —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
11 At that time, [people of] many nations will be united to Yahweh and will become his people. He will live among [all of] you; and you will know that the Commander of the armies of angels [is the one who] sent me to you.
Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, makitiponto kenni Yahweh dagiti nabibileg a nasion. Kunana, “Ket agbalinkayonto a tattaok; ta makipagnaedakto kadakayo.” Ket maammoanyonto a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak kadakayo.
12 [The people of] Judah will be a very special part of his sacred country, and Jerusalem will again be the city that he has chosen.
Ta tawidento ni Yahweh ti Juda a kas sanikuana idiay nasantoan a daga ket pilliennanto manen ti Jerusalem a para kenkuana.
13 Everyone, [everywhere, ] should be silent in the presence of Yahweh, because he [again] will come [down] from the sacred place where he lives in heaven [to do great things for us].
Agulimekkayo, dakayo amin a tattao, iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, gapu ta umayen isuna manipud iti nasantoan a lugarna!
