Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
我又舉目觀看，望見有一個人手裏拿著繩墨│。
2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is 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 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went 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 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.
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 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
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 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.
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 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
住在巴比倫的熙雍，快快逃避，
8 For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple 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 will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies 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, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
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 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies 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 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose 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 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself 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。
