Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
我又舉目觀看，望見有一個人手裏拿著繩墨│。
2 And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”
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。」
3 And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
正當那與我談話的使者出來時，另一位使者出來迎上他，
4 And he said to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
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!
5 And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
至於我，我要作她四周的火牆，──上主的斷語──作他中間的榮耀!」
6 O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
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。
7 O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
住在巴比倫的熙雍，快快逃避，
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.
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：
9 For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
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。
10 Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
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。
11 And many nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
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。
12 And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
上主必在聖地內佔據猶大作的產業，衪仍要揀選耶路撒冷。
13 Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
凡有血肉的，在上主面前應肅靜! 因為衪已由衪的聖所起身。
