Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
Después levanté mis ojos y miré, y ahí estaba un varón con un cordel de medir en su mano.
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.”
Y le pregunté: ¿A dónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir Jerusalén, para ver cuál es su anchura y su longitud.
3 And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
Cuando salía el ángel que hablaba conmigo, otro ángel le salió al encuentro,
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.
y le dijo: Corre, habla a ese joven, y dile: Jerusalén será habitada sin muros a causa de la multitud de personas y de ganado que habrá en ella.
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.
Yo le seré muro de fuego alrededor, y mi gloria estará dentro de ella, dice Yavé.
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.
¡Eh, eh! Huyan de la tierra del norte, dice Yavé. Pues los esparcí por los cuatro puntos del cielo, dice Yavé.
7 O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
¡Escapa, oh Sion, tú que vives con la hija de Babilonia!
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.
Porque Yavé de las huestes dice: Tras la gloria me enviará a las naciones que los despojaron, porque el que los toca, toca la niña de mi ojo.
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.
Por tanto, miren: Yo levanto mi mano contra ellos, y serán despojo para los que fueron sus esclavos. Y sabrán que Yavé de las huestes me envió.
10 Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
¡Canta y alégrate, hija de Sion, porque ciertamente vengo, y viviré en medio de ti! dice Yavé.
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.
Aquel día se unirán a Yavé muchas naciones y serán mi pueblo. Viviré en medio de ti, y conocerán que Yavé de las huestes me envió a ti.
12 And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
Yavé poseerá a Judá como su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá a Jerusalén.
13 Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
¡Calle todo mortal ante Yavé, porque Él despertó en su santa morada!
