< 撒迦利亞書 2 >

1 我又舉目觀看，見一人手拿準繩。
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 我說：「你往哪裏去？」他對我說：「要去量耶路撒冷，看有多寬多長。」
And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 與我說話的天使去的時候，又有一位天使迎着他來，
And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,
4 對他說：「你跑去告訴那少年人說，耶路撒冷必有人居住，好像無城牆的鄉村，因為人民和牲畜甚多。
and 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;
5 耶和華說：我要作耶路撒冷四圍的火城，並要作其中的榮耀。」
and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 耶和華說：「我從前分散你們在天的四方，現在你們要從北方之地逃回。這是耶和華說的。
Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.
7 與巴比倫人同住的錫安民哪，應當逃脫。
Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 萬軍之耶和華說，在顯出榮耀之後，差遣我去懲罰那擄掠你們的列國，摸你們的就是摸他眼中的瞳人。
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 看哪，我要向他們掄手，他們就必作服事他們之人的擄物，你們便知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我了。
For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.
10 錫安城啊，應當歡樂歌唱，因為我來要住在你中間。這是耶和華說的。」
Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
11 那時，必有許多國歸附耶和華，作他的子民。他要住在你中間，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你那裏去了。
And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 耶和華必收回猶大作他聖地的分，也必再揀選耶路撒冷。
And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [as] his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
13 凡有血氣的都當在耶和華面前靜默無聲；因為他興起，從聖所出來了。
Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
