< 撒迦利亞書 2 >

1 我又舉目觀看,望見有一個人手裏拿著繩墨│。
And Y reiside myn iyen, and siy, and lo! a man, and lo! in his hoond a litil coorde of meteris.
2 我問他說:「你往哪裏去﹖」他回答我說:「我要去測量耶路撒冷,看她有多寬多長。」
And Y seide, Whidir goist thou? And he seide to me, That Y mete Jerusalem, and Judee; hou myche is the breede therof, and hou myche is the lengthe therof.
3 正當那與我談話的使者出來時,另一位使者出來迎上他,
And lo! the aungel that spak in me, wente out, and another aungel wente out in to the metyng of hym, and seide to hym,
4 他他說:「你跑去告訴那青年人說:耶路撒冷將成為無邊際的區域,因為其中的人畜太多了!
Renne thou, speke to this child, and seie thou, Jerusalem shal be enhabitid with out wal, for the multitude of men and of beestis in the myddil therof.
5 至於我,我要作她四周的火牆,──上主的斷語──作他中間的榮耀!」
And Y schal be to it, seith the Lord, a wal of fier in cumpas; and Y schal be in glorie in myddil therof.
6 快! 快! 你們快從北地逃跑──上主的斷語,因為我要從天下四方聚集你們──上主的斷語。
A! A! A! fle ye fro the lond of the north, seith the Lord, for in foure wyndis of heuene Y scateride you, seith the Lord.
7 住在巴比倫的熙雍,快快逃避,
A! thou Sion, fle, that dwellist at the douyter of Babiloyne.
8 因為那為顯示自己的光榮,派遺我來的萬軍的上主,對那些劫掠你們的異民──因為凡觸動你們的,就是觸勫衪的眼珠──這樣說:
For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.
9 看,我只要在你們身上一揮勫我的手,他們便要成為自己奴隸的掠物;如此,你們便知道:是萬軍的上主派遺了我。
For lo! Y reise myn hond on hem, and thei schulen be preyes to these that seruyden hem; and ye schulen knowe, that the Lord of oostis sente me.
10 熙雍女子,歡呼喜樂吧! 因為我要來住在你們中間──上主的斷語。
Douyter of Sion, herie thou, and be glad; for lo! Y come, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee, seith the Lord.
11 在那一天,有許多民族要歸依上主,要成為衪的百姓,並住在你們中間;這樣你們便知道:是萬軍的上主派遺了我到你們這裏來。
And many folkis schulen be applied to the Lord in that dai, and thei schulen be to me in to puple, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee; and thou schalt wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to thee.
12 上主必在聖地內佔據猶大作的產業,衪仍要揀選耶路撒冷。
And the Lord schal welde Juda in to his part, in the loud halewid, and schal cheese yit Jerusalem.
13 凡有血肉的,在上主面前應肅靜! 因為衪已由衪的聖所起身。
Ech fleisch be stil fro the face of the Lord, for he roos of his hooli dwelling place.
