Zacarias 2
1 Tornei a levantar os meus olhos, e vi, e eis aqui um homem em cuja mão estava um cordel de medir.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
2 E eu disse: Para onde vaes tu? E elle me disse: Vou a medir Jerusalem, para vêr qual é a sua largura e qual o seu comprimento.
And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”
3 E eis que saiu o anjo que fallava comigo, e outro anjo lhe saiu ao encontro.
And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 E disse-lhe: Corre, falla a este mancebo, dizendo: Jerusalem será habitada como as aldeias sem muros, por causa da multidão dos homens e dos animaes que estarão no meio d'ella.
And he said to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
5 E eu, diz o Senhor, serei para ella um muro de fogo em redor, e serei para gloria no meio d'ella.
And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
6 Olá, oh! fugi agora da terra do norte, diz o Senhor, porque vos estendi pelos quatro ventos do céu, diz o Senhor.
O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
7 Olá, Sião! livra-te tu, que habitas com a filha de Babylonia.
O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Depois da gloria elle me enviou ás nações que vos despojaram; porque aquelle que tocar em vós toca na menina do seu olho.
For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.
9 Porque eis que levantarei a minha mão sobre elles, e elles virão a ser a preza d'aquelles que os serviram: assim sabereis vós que o Senhor dos Exercitos me enviou.
For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
10 Exulta, e alegra-te ó filha de Sião, porque eis que venho, e habitarei no meio de ti, diz o Senhor.
Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
11 E n'aquelle dia muitas nações se ajuntarão ao Senhor, e me serão por povo, e habitarei no meio de ti, e saberás que o Senhor dos Exercitos me enviou a ti
And many nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
12 Então o Senhor herdará a Judah por sua porção na terra sancta, e ainda escolherá a Jerusalem.
And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
13 Cala-te, toda a carne, diante do Senhor, porque elle se despertou da sua sancta morada.
Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
