Zechariah 2
1 Next I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Después levanté mis ojos y miré, y ahí estaba un varón con un cordel de medir en su mano.
2 I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
Y le pregunté: ¿A dónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir Jerusalén, para ver cuál es su anchura y su longitud.
3 Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him.
Cuando salía el ángel que hablaba conmigo, otro ángel le salió al encuentro,
4 The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, 'Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.
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 For I—this is Yahweh's declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.
Yo le seré muro de fuego alrededor, y mi gloria estará dentro de ella, dice Yavé.
6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration— for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—This is Yahweh's declaration.
¡Eh, eh! Huyan de la tierra del norte, dice Yavé. Pues los esparcí por los cuatro puntos del cielo, dice Yavé.
7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!'”
¡Escapa, oh Sion, tú que vives con la hija de Babilonia!
8 For after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you— for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God's eye!—after Yahweh did this, he said,
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 “I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh 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 for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
¡Canta y alégrate, hija de Sion, porque ciertamente vengo, y viviré en medio de ti! dice Yavé.
11 Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh 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 For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
Yavé poseerá a Judá como su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá a Jerusalén.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
¡Calle todo mortal ante Yavé, porque Él despertó en su santa morada!
