Zacharias 2

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

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

2 And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

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 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth 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 spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

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 And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

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 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says 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 [even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.

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

8 For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that 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 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty 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 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says 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 And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty 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 shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.

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

13 Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.

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