Zechariah 2

1 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

And Y reiside myn iyen, and siy, and lo! a man, and lo! in his hoond a litil coorde of meteris.

2 And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much its length.'

And Y seide, Whidir goist thou? And he seide to me, That Y mete Jerusalem, and Judee; hou myche is the breede therof, and hou myche is the lengthe therof.

3 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

And lo! the aungel that spak in me, wente out, and another aungel wente out in to the metyng of hym, and seide to hym,

4 and he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

Renne thou, speke to this child, and seie thou, Jerusalem shal be enhabitid with out wal, for the multitude of men and of beestis in the myddil therof.

5 And I — I am to her — an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.

And Y schal be to it, seith the Lord, a wal of fier in cumpas; and Y schal be in glorie in myddil therof.

6 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.

A! A! A! fle ye fro the lond of the north, seith the Lord, for in foure wyndis of heuene Y scateride you, seith the Lord.

7 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

A! thou Sion, fle, that dwellist at the douyter of Babiloyne.

8 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.

9 For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me.

For lo! Y reise myn hond on hem, and thei schulen be preyes to these that seruyden hem; and ye schulen knowe, that the Lord of oostis sente me.

10 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Douyter of Sion, herie thou, and be glad; for lo! Y come, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee, seith the Lord.

11 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.

And many folkis schulen be applied to the Lord in that dai, and thei schulen be to me in to puple, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee; and thou schalt wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to thee.

12 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

And the Lord schal welde Juda in to his part, in the loud halewid, and schal cheese yit Jerusalem.

13 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'

Ech fleisch be stil fro the face of the Lord, for he roos of his hooli dwelling place.
