Okwolesebwa Olukoba Olupima
1Awo ne nnyimusa amaaso gange, ne ndaba, omusajja ng’alina mu mukono gwe olukoba olupima. 22:2 Ez 40:3; Kub 21:15Ne mubuuza nti, “Ogenda wa?”
Nanziramu nti, “Ŋŋenda kupima Yerusaalemi okulaba obuwanvu n’obugazi bwakyo.”
3Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’agenda, malayika omulala n’amusisinkana. 42:4 a Ez 38:11 b Is 49:20; Yer 30:19; 33:22N’amugamba nti, “Dduka ogambe omuvubuka oyo nti, ‘Yerusaalemi kijja kuba ekibuga ekitaliiko bbugwe olw’obungi bw’abantu n’ebisibo ebinaabeeramu. 52:5 a Is 26:1 b Kub 21:23Nze ndiba bbugwe ow’omuliro, okukyebungulula enjuuyi zonna era nze ndiba ekitiibwa kyakyo mu kyo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
62:6 Ez 17:21“Kale mudduke, mudduke ensi ey’obukiikakkono mugiveemu,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “kubanga mbasaasanyizza ng’empewo ennya ez’eggulu bwe ziri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
72:7 Is 48:20“Mmwe Sayuuni mudduke, mudukke muwone mmwe ababeera mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni.” 82:8 Ma 32:10Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mukama nga bw’ampadde ekitiibwa n’antuma eri amawanga agaabanyaganga, anaabakwatako anaaba akutte ku mmunye ya liiso lye. 92:9 a Is 14:2 b Zek 4:9Kubanga laba ndyolesa omukono gwange gye bali, abaddu baabwe ne babanyaga. Olwo lwe mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma.
102:10 a Zef 3:14 b Zek 9:9 c Lv 26:12; Zek 8:3“Yimba, osanyuke ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga laba nzija era ndibeera wakati mu mmwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama. 11“Era amawanga mangi galyegatta ku Mukama ku lunaku olwo, era balibeera bantu bange, era nange nnaabeeranga wakati mu ggwe, naawe onootegeera nga Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gy’oli. 122:12 a Ma 32:9; Zab 33:12; Yer 10:16 b Zek 1:17Era Yuda aliba mugabo gwa Mukama mu nsi entukuvu, era aliddamu okwerondera Yerusaalemi. 132:13 Kbk 2:20Musiriikirire, abantu mwenna mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga asituse okuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.”
A Vision of a Man Holding a Measuring Line
1Then I looked up and saw a man. He was holding a measuring line. 2“Where are you going?” I asked.
“To measure Jerusalem,” he answered. “I want to find out how wide and how long it is.”
3The angel who was talking with me was leaving. At that time, another angel came over to him. 4He said to him, “Run! Tell that young man Zechariah, ‘Jerusalem will be a city that does not have any walls around it. It will have huge numbers of people and animals in it. 5And I myself will be like a wall of fire around it,’ announces the Lord. ‘I will be the city’s glory.’
6“Israel, I have scattered you,” announces the Lord. “I have used the power of the four winds of heaven to do it. Come quickly! Run away from the land of the north,” announces the Lord.
7“Come, people of Zion! Escape, you who live in Babylon!” 8The Lord rules over all. His angel says to Israel, “The Glorious One has sent me to punish the nations that have robbed you of everything. That’s because anyone who hurts you hurts those the Lord loves and guards. 9So I will raise my powerful hand to strike down your enemies. Their own slaves will rob them of everything. Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me.
10“ ‘People of Zion, shout and be glad! I am coming to live among you,’ announces the Lord. 11‘At that time many nations will join themselves to me. And they will become my people. I will live among you,’ says the Lord. Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you. 12He will receive Judah as his share in the holy land. And he will choose Jerusalem again. 13All you people of the world, be still because the Lord is coming. He is getting ready to come down from his holy temple in heaven.”
