Zacarías 2
Berean Standard Bible
1Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”
3Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him
4and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.
5For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
6“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
7“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”
8For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—
9I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”
10“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.
11“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.
12And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.
13Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
Reina-Valera 1909
1ALCÉ después mis ojos, y miré y he aquí un varón que tenía en su mano un cordel de medir.
2Y díjele: ¿A dónde vas? Y él me respondió: A medir á Jerusalem, para ver cuánta es su anchura, y cuánta su longitud.
3Y he aquí, salía aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y otro ángel le salió al encuentro,
4Y díjole: Corre, habla á este mozo, diciendo: Sin muros será habitada Jerusalem á causa de la multitud de los hombres, y de las bestias en medio de ella.
5Yo seré para ella, dice Jehová, muro de fuego en derredor, y seré por gloria en medio de ella.
6Eh, eh, huid de la tierra del aquilón, dice Jehová, pues por los cuatro vientos de los cielos os esparcí, dice Jehová.
7Oh Sión, la que moras con la hija de Babilonia, escápate.
8Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Después de la gloria me enviará él á las gentes que os despojaron: porque el que os toca, toca á la niña de su ojo.
9Porque he aquí yo alzo mi mano sobre ellos, y serán despojo á sus siervos, y sabréis que Jehová de los ejércitos me envió.
10Canta y alégrate, hija de Sión: porque he aquí vengo, y moraré en medio de tí, ha dicho Jehová.
11Y uniránse muchas gentes á Jehová en aquel día, y me serán por pueblo, y moraré en medio de ti; y entonces conocerás que Jehová de los ejércitos me ha enviado á ti.
12Y Jehová poseerá á Judá su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá aún á Jerusalem.
13Calle toda carne delante de Jehová; porque él se ha despertado de su santa morada.
King James Version
1I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2Then 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.
3And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
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:
5For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
7Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
11And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
