< Zechariah 2 >
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Es atkal pacēlu savas acis un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija vīrs, un viņa rokā mēra aukla.
2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
Un es sacīju: kurp iedams? Un viņš sacīja uz mani: Jeruzālemi mērot un lūkot, kāds viņas platums un kāds viņas garums.
3 Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Un redzi, tas eņģelis, kas ar mani runāja, izgāja ārā. Un viens cits eņģelis tam nāca pretī.
4 and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
Un viņš uz to sacīja: teci, runā uz šo jaunekli un saki: Jeruzālemē dzīvos bez mūriem aiz liela cilvēku un lopu pulka viņas vidu.
5 For I,' says the LORD, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Un Es, saka Tas Kungs, viņai būšu par degošu mūri visapkārt, un Es būšu par godību viņas vidū.
6 Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says the LORD; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says the LORD.
Vai, vai, bēdziet jel no ziemeļa zemes! saka Tas Kungs; jo Es jūs izpletīšu uz tiem četriem debess vējiem, saka Tas Kungs.
7 'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
Vai, Ciāna, glābies, tu, kas dzīvo pie Bābeles meitas.
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: pēc godības Viņš mani sūtījis pie tiem pagāniem, kas jūs aplaupījuši; jo kas jūs aizskar, tas aizskar Viņa acs raugu.
9 For, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
Jo redzi, Es cilāšu Savu roku pār tiem; tie būs par laupījumu saviem kalpiem; tā jūs samanīsiet, ka Tas Kungs Cebaot mani sūtījis.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says the LORD.
Gavilē un priecājies, Ciānas meita, jo redzi, Es nāku un dzīvošu tavā vidū, saka Tas Kungs;
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
Un daudz pagāni tai dienā piebiedrosies Tam Kungam, un tie Man būs par ļaudīm, un Es dzīvošu tavā vidū, un tu samanīsi, ka Tas Kungs Cebaot mani pie tevis sūtījis.
12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Tad Tas Kungs iemantos Jūdu par Savu tiesu tai svētā zemē un izredzēs atkal Jeruzālemi.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
Ciet klusu, visa miesa, Tā Kunga priekšā! Jo Viņš ir uzcēlies no Savas svētās vietas.
