Zacarías 2

Diodati 1885

1POI io alzai gli occhi, e riguardai; ed ecco un uomo, che avea in mano una cordicella da misurare.

2Ed io gli dissi: Dove vai? Ed egli mi disse: Io vo a misurar Gerusalemme, per veder qual sia la sua larghezza, e quale la sua lunghezza.

3Ed ecco, l'Angelo che parlava meco uscì; e un altro Angelo gli uscì incontro.

4Ed egli gli disse: Corri, parla a quel giovane, dicendo: Gerusalemme sarà abitata per villate; per la moltitudine degli uomini, e delle bestie, che saranno in mezzo di lei.

5Ed io le sarò, dice il Signore, un muro di fuoco d'intorno, e sarò per gloria in mezzo di lei.

6Oh! oh! fuggite dal paese di Settentrione, dice il Signore; perciocchè io vi ho sparsi per li quattro venti del cielo, dice il Signore.

7O Sion, scampa; tu, che abiti con la figliuola di Babilonia.

8Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti: Dietro alla gloria! Egli mi ha mandato contro alle genti che vi hanno spogliati; perciocchè chi vi tocca, tocca la pupilla dell'occhio suo.

9Perciocchè, ecco, io levo la mano contro a loro, ed esse saranno in preda a' lor servi; e voi conoscerete che il Signor degli eserciti mi ha mandato.

10Giubila, e rallegrati, figliuola di Sion; perciocchè ecco, io vengo, ed abiterò in mezzo di te, dice il Signore.

11E molte nazioni si aggiungeranno al Signore in quel giorno, e mi saranno per popolo; ed io abiterò in mezzo di te, e tu conoscerai che il Signore degli eserciti mi ha mandato a te.

12E il Signore possederà Giuda, per sua parte, nella terra santa; ed eleggerà ancora Gerusalemme.

13Silenzio, ogni carne, per la presenza del Signore; perciocchè egli si è destato dalla stanza della sua santità.

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.

World English Bible

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

10Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.

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

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

13Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
