Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
| וָאֶשָּׂ֥א עֵינַ֛י וָאֵ֖רֶא וְהִנֵּה־אִ֑ישׁ וּבְיָדֹ֖ו חֶ֥בֶל מִדָּֽה׃ |
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth, and what [is] its length.
| וָאֹמַ֕ר אָ֖נָה אַתָּ֣ה הֹלֵ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לָמֹד֙ אֶת־יְר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם לִרְאֹ֥ות כַּמָּֽה־רָחְבָּ֖הּ וְכַמָּ֥ה אָרְכָּֽהּ׃ |
3 And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
| וְהִנֵּ֗ה הַמַּלְאָ֛ךְ הַדֹּבֵ֥ר בִּ֖י יֹצֵ֑א וּמַלְאָ֣ךְ אַחֵ֔ר יֹצֵ֖א לִקְרָאתֹֽו׃ |
4 And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it.
| וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔ו רֻ֗ץ דַּבֵּ֛ר אֶל־הַנַּ֥עַר הַלָּ֖ז לֵאמֹ֑ר פְּרָזֹות֙ תֵּשֵׁ֣ב יְרוּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם מֵרֹ֥ב אָדָ֛ם וּבְהֵמָ֖ה בְּתֹוכָֽהּ׃ |
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
| וַאֲנִ֤י אֶֽהְיֶה־לָּהּ֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה חֹ֥ומַת אֵ֖שׁ סָבִ֑יב וּלְכָבֹ֖וד אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה בְתֹוכָֽהּ׃ פ |
6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
| הֹ֣וי הֹ֗וי וְנֻ֛סוּ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ צָפֹ֖ון נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֠י כְּאַרְבַּ֞ע רוּחֹ֧ות הַשָּׁמַ֛יִם פֵּרַ֥שְׂתִּי אֶתְכֶ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ |
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon.
| הֹ֥וי צִיֹּ֖ון הִמָּלְטִ֑י יֹושֶׁ֖בֶת בַּת־בָּבֶֽל׃ ס |
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
| כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֒ אַחַ֣ר כָּבֹ֔וד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי אֶל־הַגֹּויִ֖ם הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים אֶתְכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֹֽו׃ |
9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
| כִּ֠י הִנְנִ֨י מֵנִ֤יף אֶת־יָדִי֙ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וְהָי֥וּ שָׁלָ֖ל לְעַבְדֵיהֶ֑ם וִֽידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּֽי־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות שְׁלָחָֽנִי׃ ס |
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
| רָנִּ֥י וְשִׂמְחִ֖י בַּת־צִיֹּ֑ון כִּ֧י הִנְנִי־בָ֛א וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֥י בְתֹוכֵ֖ךְ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ |
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee.
| וְנִלְווּ֩ גֹויִ֨ם רַבִּ֤ים אֶל־יְהוָה֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא וְהָ֥יוּ לִ֖י לְעָ֑ם וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֣י בְתֹוכֵ֔ךְ וְיָדַ֕עַתְּ כִּי־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֵלָֽיִךְ׃ |
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
| וְנָחַ֨ל יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־יְהוּדָה֙ חֶלְקֹ֔ו עַ֖ל אַדְמַ֣ת הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּבָחַ֥ר עֹ֖וד בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
| הַ֥ס כָּל־בָּשָׂ֖ר מִפְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י נֵעֹ֖ור מִמְּעֹ֥ון קָדְשֹֽׁו׃ ס |
