Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
ALCÉ después mis ojos, y miré y he aquí un varón que tenía en su mano un cordel de medir.
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.”
Y díjele: ¿A dónde vas? Y él me respondió: A medir á Jerusalem, para ver cuánta es su anchura, y cuánta su longitud.
3 And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
Y he aquí, salía aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y otro ángel le salió al encuentro,
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.
Y díjole: Corre, habla á este mozo, diciendo: Sin muros será habitada Jerusalem á causa de la multitud de los hombres, y de las bestias en medio de ella.
5 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
Yo seré para ella, dice Jehová, muro de fuego en derredor, y seré por gloria en medio de ella.
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.
Eh, eh, huid de la tierra del aquilón, dice Jehová, pues por los cuatro vientos de los cielos os esparcí, dice Jehová.
7 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
Oh Sión, la que moras con la hija de Babilonia, escápate.
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.
Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Después de la gloria me enviará él á las gentes que os despojaron: porque el que os toca, toca á la niña de su ojo.
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.
Porque he aquí yo alzo mi mano sobre ellos, y serán despojo á sus siervos, y sabréis que Jehová de los ejércitos me envió.
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
Canta y alégrate, hija de Sión: porque he aquí vengo, y moraré en medio de tí, ha dicho Jehová.
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.
Y uniránse muchas gentes á Jehová en aquel día, y me serán por pueblo, y moraré en medio de ti; y entonces conocerás que Jehová de los ejércitos me ha enviado á ti.
12 And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
Y Jehová poseerá á Judá su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá aún á Jerusalem.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
Calle toda carne delante de Jehová; porque él se ha despertado de su santa morada.
