זְכַרְיָה 2

1 וָאֶשָּׂ֥א עֵינַ֛י וָאֵ֖רֶא וְהִנֵּה־אִ֑ישׁ וּבְיָדֹ֖ו חֶ֥בֶל מִדָּֽה׃

And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a man and [was] in hand his a cord of measurement.

2 וָאֹמַ֕ר אָ֖נָה אַתָּ֣ה הֹלֵ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לָמֹד֙ אֶת־יְר֣וּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם לִרְאֹ֥ות כַּמָּֽה־רָחְבָּ֖הּ וְכַמָּ֥ה אָרְכָּֽהּ׃

And I said where? [are] you going and he said to me to measure Jerusalem to see how much? [is] breadth its and how much? [is] length its.

3 וְהִנֵּ֗ה הַמַּלְאָ֛ךְ הַדֹּבֵ֥ר בִּ֖י יֹצֵ֑א וּמַלְאָ֣ךְ אַחֵ֔ר יֹצֵ֖א לִקְרָאתֹֽו׃

And there! the angel who was speaking with me [was] going out and an angel another [was] going out to meet him.

4 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔ו רֻ֗ץ דַּבֵּ֛ר אֶל־הַנַּ֥עַר הַלָּ֖ז לֵאמֹ֑ר פְּרָזֹות֙ תֵּשֵׁ֣ב יְרוּשָׁלַ֔͏ִם מֵרֹ֥ב אָדָ֛ם וּבְהֵמָ֖ה בְּתֹוכָֽהּ׃

And he said (to him *Q(k)*) run speak to the young man this saying open regions it will remain Jerusalem from [the] multitude of person[s] and livestock in [the] midst of it.

5 וַאֲנִ֤י אֶֽהְיֶה־לָּהּ֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה חֹ֥ומַת אֵ֖שׁ סָבִ֑יב וּלְכָבֹ֖וד אֶֽהְיֶ֥ה בְתֹוכָֽהּ׃ פ

And I I will be to it [the] utterance of Yahweh a wall of fire all around and glory I will become in [the] middle of it.

6 הֹ֣וי הֹ֗וי וְנֻ֛סוּ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ צָפֹ֖ון נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֠י כְּאַרְבַּ֞ע רוּחֹ֧ות הַשָּׁמַ֛יִם פֵּרַ֥שְׂתִּי אֶתְכֶ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃

Alas! alas! flee from [the] land of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh that like [the] four [the] winds of the heavens I have scattered you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

7 הֹ֥וי צִיֹּ֖ון הִמָּלְטִ֑י יֹושֶׁ֖בֶת בַּת־בָּבֶֽל׃ ס

Alas! O Zion escape O inhabitant[s] of [the] daughter of Babylon.

8 כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֒ אַחַ֣ר כָּבֹ֔וד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי אֶל־הַגֹּויִ֖ם הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים אֶתְכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֹֽו׃

For thus he says Yahweh of hosts after honor he has sent me to the nations who plundered you for the [one who] touches you [is] touching [the] pupil of eye his.

9 כִּ֠י הִנְנִ֨י מֵנִ֤יף אֶת־יָדִי֙ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וְהָי֥וּ שָׁלָ֖ל לְעַבְדֵיהֶ֑ם וִֽידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּֽי־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות שְׁלָחָֽנִי׃ ס

For here I [am] about to brandish hand my on them and they will be plunder for own slaves their and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me.

10 רָנִּ֥י וְשִׂמְחִ֖י בַּת־צִיֹּ֑ון כִּ֧י הִנְנִי־בָ֛א וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֥י בְתֹוכֵ֖ךְ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃

Shout for joy and rejoice O daughter of Zion for here I [am] about to come and I will dwell in midst of you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

11 וְנִלְווּ֩ גֹויִ֨ם רַבִּ֤ים אֶל־יְהוָה֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא וְהָ֥יוּ לִ֖י לְעָ֑ם וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֣י בְתֹוכֵ֔ךְ וְיָדַ֕עַתְּ כִּי־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֵלָֽיִךְ׃

And they will join themselves nations many to Yahweh in the day that and they will become for me a people and I will dwell in midst of you and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you.

12 וְנָחַ֨ל יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־יְהוּדָה֙ חֶלְקֹ֔ו עַ֖ל אַדְמַ֣ת הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּבָחַ֥ר עֹ֖וד בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

And he will inherit Yahweh Judah portion his on [the] land of holiness and he will choose again Jerusalem.
