Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
我又舉目觀看，望見有一個人手裏拿著繩墨│。
2 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.”
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 messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going 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 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.
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 am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her 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 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.
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 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
住在巴比倫的熙雍，快快逃避，
8 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.
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 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.
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, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
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 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.
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 YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on 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 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
凡有血肉的，在上主面前應肅靜! 因為衪已由衪的聖所起身。
