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

¹[Fahitana faharoa: ny amin'ny tandroka efatra sy ny mpiasa efatra] Ary natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy tandroka efatra.

²And 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.

²Ary hoy izaho tamin'ilay anjely niresaka tamiko: Inona moa ireo? Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ireo no tandroka izay nampihahaka ny Joda sy ny Isiraely ary Jerosalema.

³And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,

³Ary dia nanehoan'i Jehovah mpiasa efatra aho.

⁴and 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;

⁴Dia hoy izaho: Avy hanao inona moa ireto? Ary Izy nanao hoe: Ireo no tandroka nampihahaka ny Joda, ka tsy nisy olona nanandrandra loha; fa ireto kosa dia avy hampahatahotra azy mba hampiongana ny tandroky ny firenena, dia izay nanandratra ny tandrony tamin'ny tanin'ny Joda hanely azy.

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

⁵[Fahitana fahatelo: ny amin-dralehilahy nitondra famolaina] Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy lehilahy manana kofehy famolaina eny an-tànany.

⁶Ho, 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.

⁶Dia hoy izaho: Ho aiza moa ianao? Ary hoy izy tamiko: Handrefy an'i Jerosalema hizaha ny sakany sy ny lavany aho.

⁷Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

⁷Ary, indro, nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko, ary nisy anjely anankiray koa nivoaka hitsena azy

⁸For 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.

⁸ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihazakazaha, ka milazà amin'io zatovo io hoe: Honenana toy ny tanana tsy mimanda Jerosalema noho ny hamaroan'ny olona sy ny biby fiompy ao aminy.

⁹For 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.

⁹Fa Izaho, hoy Jehovah, ho manda afo manodidina azy ary ho voninahitra ao afovoany.

¹⁰Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

¹⁰He! he! mandosira avy any amin'ny tany avaratra, hoy Jehovah; fa aeliko ho toy ny rivotra efatry ny lanitra ianareo, hoy Jehovah.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹He! vonjeo ny tenanao, ry Ziona, izay monina ao Babylona zanakavavy.

¹²And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [as] his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

¹²Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Hampiseho voninahitra no nanirahany ahy tany amin'ny firenena izay namabo anareo; fa izay mikasika anareo dia mikasika ny anakandriamasony. [Heb. aorian'ny]

¹³Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.

¹³Fa, indro, hahinjitro eo amboniny ny tanako, ka hobaboin'ireo nanompo azy izy; dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no naniraka ahy.

¹⁴Mihobia sy mifalia, ry Ziona zanakavavy, fa, indro, avy honina ao afovoanao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁵Ary firenena maro no hanaiky ho an'i Jehovah amin'izany andro izany ka ho oloko; ary hitoetra ao afovoanao aho, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminao.

¹⁶Ary Jehovah hanana an'i Joda ho anjarany ao amin'ny tany masina ary mbola hifidy an'i Jerosalema indray.Mangina eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ry nofo rehetra! fa nifoha avy ao amin'ny fitoerany masina Izy.

¹⁷Mangina eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ry nofo rehetra! fa nifoha avy ao amin'ny fitoerany masina Izy.
