1 A nd I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

I maranga ake ano oku kanohi, i titiro, na ko tetahi tangata, he aho ruri i tona ringa.

2 T hen said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

Na ka mea ahau, E haere ana koe ki hea? A ka mea ia ki ahau, Ki te whanganga i Hiruharama, kia kitea ai he aha tona whanui, he aha tona roa.

3 A nd, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

Na ka haere te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, a ka puta ano tetahi anahera ki te whakatau i a ia,

4 a nd said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

A ka mea atu ki a ia, E oma, korero atu ki te taitama nei, ki atu, Ka nohoia a Hiurharama, ka rite ki nga pa taiepakore, i te tini hoki o te tangata, o nga kararehe i roto:

5 F or I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

No te mea ko ahau, ko Ihowa, hei taiepa ahi ahau ki a ia a tawhio noa, a ko ahau hei kororia i roto i a ia.

6 H o, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.

Ho ho! rere mai i te whenua o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa; kua whakamararatia atu hoki koutou e ahau me te mea ko nga hau e wha o te rangi, e ai ta Ihowa.

7 H o Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

E Hiona, kawhaki i a koe, e koe e noho mai na i te tamahine a Papurona.

8 F or thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; No muri i te kororia kua unga ahau e ia ki nga tauiwi nana na koutou i pahua; ko te tangata hoki e pa ana ki a koutou, e pa ana ki te whatupango o tona kanohi.

9 F or, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

Na, tenei ka ruru toku ringa ki a ratou, a hei taonga parau ratou ma a ratou pononga; a ka mohio koutou na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai.

10 S ing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

Waiata, kia koa, e te tamahine a Hiona: no te mea na, kei te haere atu ahau, a ka noho ahau i roto i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

11 A nd many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me unto thee.

A he maha nga iwi e whakauru i a ratou ki a Ihowa i taua ra, a ko ratou hei iwi maku: a ka noho ahau i roto i a koe, a ka mohio koe na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koe.

12 A nd Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

A ka riro i a Ihowa a Hura hei wahi tupu mana i te whenua tapu, tera ano hoki ia ka whiriwhiri Hiruharama.

13 B e silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.

Whakarongoa, e nga kikokiko katoa, i te aroaro o Ihowa: kua whakaohokia mai hoki ia i tona kainga tapu.
