(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_lifted_up eyes_of,my and,I_saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and_[was],in,hand_of,his line_of measuring )
Here, the pronoun I is repeated for emphasis. Yahweh is emphasizing his personal commitment to protect Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [And I, even I, will be for her]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_lifted_up eyes_of,my and,I_saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and_[was],in,hand_of,his line_of measuring )
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun declaration in another way. Alternate translation: [Yahweh declares]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_lifted_up eyes_of,my and,I_saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and_[was],in,hand_of,his line_of measuring )
Yahweh is speaking of his protection of Jerusalem as if he were a wall of fire all around it, meaning he will powerfully protect the city on every side. If this image does not communicate well in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a powerful defense all around]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
בְתוֹכָֽהּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_lifted_up eyes_of,my and,I_saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and_[was],in,hand_of,his line_of measuring )

2:5 Note: KJB: Zech.2.1
OET (OET-RV) Yahweh declares that he’ll become a wall of fire around it and will become the splendour in the middle of it.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
