¹तब मैले माथि हेरें अनि एउटा मानिसलाई नाप्ने फिता लिएको देखें।

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

²मैले उसलाई सोधें, “तपाईं कहाँ जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ?” उसले मलाई उत्तर दिए, “म यरूशलेम नाप्न जाँदैछु, त्यसको लम्बाई र चौंडाई कति छ?”

²Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length.”

³त्यस समय मसित कुरा गरिरहेका स्वर्गदूत बाहिर गए अनि अर्को एकजना स्वर्गदूत उसित कुरा गर्न गए।

³Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

⁴उनले तिनलाई भनें, “कुदेर जाऊ अनि त्यो जवान मानिसलाई भन् ‘यरूशलेम पर्खाल बिनाको शहर हुनेछ। किनभने त्यहाँ असंख्य मानिसहरु र पशुहरु बस्छन्।’

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.

⁵परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘म रक्षाको लागि यसको वरिपरि आगोको पर्खाल हुनेछु, म तिमीहरुको महिमा हुनेछु।”‘

⁵For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

⁶परमप्रभु भन्हुन्छ, “छिट्टो उठ! अनि उत्तर देश छोड जहाँ मैले तिमीहरुलाई सबै देशहरुमा छरपष्ट पारें।”

⁶Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

⁷हे सियोनका मानिसहरु! जो बाबेलमा कैदीछौ, “दगुर।”

⁷‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

⁸सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुले यसो भन्नु भयो। उहाँले मलाई त्यस देशको बिरुद्ध पठाउँनु भएको छ जसले तिमीलाई लगे। किनभने यदि उसले तिमीलाई चोट पुरायो भने परमप्रभुको आँखाको नानीमा चोट पुराए झैं हुनेछ।

⁸For thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

⁹अनि म ती मानिसहरुको बिरूद्ध अफ्नो हातहरु उठाउँछु। तिनीहरुका दासहरुले सम्पत्ति लिनेछन्। तब तिमीले सम्झनेछौ, सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुले मलाई यहाँ पठाउँनु भएको हो।”

⁹For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

¹⁰परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “आनन्दपूर्ण भई कराऊ अनि खुशी होऊ, सियोन। किन? किनकि म आउँदैछु अनि तिमीहरुको बिचमा रहनेछु।

¹⁰Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,’ says Yahweh.

¹¹त्यससमय धेरै जातिका मानिसहरु परमप्रभु कहाँ आउँनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरु मेरा मानिस हुनेछन्। म तिमीहरुको बीचमा बस्नेछु। अनि तिमीहरुले जान्नेछौ कि सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुले मलाई तिनीहरुकहाँ पठाउनु भएको हो।”

¹¹Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

¹²परमप्रभुले यरूशलेमलाई फेरि आफ्नो शहर बनाउनु हुनेछ, अनि यहूदाको पवित्र भूमि उहाँको भाग हुनेछ।

¹²Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
