Zakarias 2
1 Derpaa løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, der var en Mand med en Maalesnor i Haanden.
And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
2 Jeg spurgte: »Hvor skal du hen?« Han svarede: »Hen at maale Jerusalem og se, hvor bredt og langt det er.«
And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”
3 Og se, Engelen, som talte med mig, traadte frem, og en anden Engel traadte frem over for ham,
And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
4 og han sagde til ham: »Løb hen og sig til den unge Mand der: Som aabent Land skal Jerusalem ligge, saa mange Mennesker og Dyr skal der være i det.
and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
5 Jeg vil selv, lyder det fra HERREN, være en Ildmur omkring det og herliggøre mig i det.
And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
6 Op, op, fly bort fra Nordlandet, lyder det fra HERREN, thi fra Himmelens fire Vinde samler jeg eder, lyder det fra HERREN.
Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.
7 Op, red jer til Zion, I, som bor hos Babels Datter!
Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
8 Thi saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, hvis Herlighed sendte mig til Folkene, der hærger eder: Den, som rører eder, rører min Øjesten.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.
9 Thi se, jeg svinger min Haand imod dem, og de skal blive til Bytte for dem, som nu er deres Trælle; og I skal kende, at Hærskarers HERRE har sendt mig.
For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.
10 Jubl og glæd dig, Zions Datter! Thi se, jeg kommer og fæster Bo i din Midte, lyder det fra HERREN.«
Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
11 Og mange Folk skal paa hin Dag slutte sig til HERREN og være hans Folk og bo i din Midte, og du skal kende, at Hærskarers HERRE har sendt mig til dig.
And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.
12 Og HERREN tager Juda til Arvelod paa den hellige Jord og udvælger atter Jerusalem.
And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
13 Stille, alt Kød, for HERREN, thi han har rejst sig fra sin hellige Bolig.
Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
