1I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
1Naʻa ku toe hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae afo ko e fua.
2Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
2Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hoʻo ʻalu ʻena ki fē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke fua ʻa Selūsalema mo vakai pe ʻoku fēfē hono māukupu, pea fēfē mo hono lōloa ʻo ia.”
3Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
3Pea ʻiloange naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa, pea ʻalu atu mo e ʻāngelo ʻe taha ko hono fakafetaulaki.
4and 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.
4Pea ne pehē mai kiate ia, “Lele mo lea ki he tangata talavou na,” ʻo pehē, “ʻE kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi, koeʻuhi ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai mo e fanga manu ʻi ai:
5For 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.
5ʻE ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u hangē au ko e ʻa afi ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, pea ko au ko e nāunau ʻi hono lotolotonga.”
6Come! 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.
6¶ “ʻE! ʻE! hola mei he fonua ʻi he potu tokelau, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova! He kuo u fakamovete ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e matangi ki he feituʻu ʻe fā ʻoe langi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
7‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
7ʻE Saione, fakamoʻui koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nonofo mo e ʻofefine ʻo Papilone.”
8For 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.
8He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he nāunau kuo ne fekau atu au ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi koe: he ko ia ʻoku ala kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne ala ki he kanoʻi mata ʻuli ʻo hoku mata.”
9For, 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.
9He vakai, te u tupeʻi hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe vete ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki: pea te mou ʻilo ai kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
10Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
10¶ “ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, hiva mo fakafiefia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, vakai ʻoku ou haʻu, pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou.”
11Many 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.
11Pea ʻe lahi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe kau mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea nau hoko ko hoku kakai; pea te u nofo ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻoʻou, pea te ke ʻilo ai kuo fekau au kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
12The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
12Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siuta, ko hono tofiʻa, ʻi he fonua māʻoniʻoni, pea te ne toe fili ʻa Selūsalema.
13Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
13Ke longo hifo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova! He kuo tuʻu hake ia mo hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
