Zechariah 2

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

And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a man and [was] in hand his a cord of measurement.

2 “Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

And I said where? [are] you going and he said to me to measure Jerusalem to see how much? [is] breadth its and how much? [is] length its.

3 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

And there! the angel who was speaking with me [was] going out and an angel another [was] going out to meet him.

4 and 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.

And he said (to him *Q(k)*) run speak to the young man this saying open regions it will remain Jerusalem from [the] multitude of person[s] and livestock in [the] midst of it.

5 For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

And I I will be to it [the] utterance of Yahweh a wall of fire all around and glory I will become in [the] middle of 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.

Alas! alas! flee from [the] land of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh that like [the] four [the] winds of the heavens I have scattered you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

7 “Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

Alas! O Zion escape O inhabitant[s] of [the] daughter of Babylon.

8 For 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—

For thus he says Yahweh of hosts after honor he has sent me to the nations who plundered you for the [one who] touches you [is] touching [the] pupil of eye his.

9 I 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.”

For here I [am] about to brandish hand my on them and they will be plunder for own slaves their and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he 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.

Shout for joy and rejoice O daughter of Zion for here I [am] about to come and I will dwell in midst of you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

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.

And they will join themselves nations many to Yahweh in the day that and they will become for me a people and I will dwell in midst of you and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you.

12 And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

And he will inherit Yahweh Judah portion his on [the] land of holiness and he will choose again Jerusalem.

13 Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”

Hush! O all flesh from before Yahweh for he has roused himself from [the] dwelling place of holiness his.
