< Книга пророка Захарии 2 >
1 И возведох очи мои и видех, и се, муж, и в руце его уже землемерно.
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 И рех к нему: камо грядеши ты? И рече ко мне: размерити Иерусалима, еже видети, колика широта его есть и колика долгота.
Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
3 И се, Ангел глаголяй во мне стояше, и ин Ангел исхождаше во сретение ему
Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 и рече к нему глаголя: тецы и рцы к юноши оному глаголя: плодовито населится Иерусалим от множества человеков и скотов, иже посреде его:
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.
5 и Аз буду ему, глаголет Господь, стена огнена окрест и в славу буду посреде его.
For I,' says the LORD, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 О, о, бежите от земли северныя, глаголет Господь, зане от четырех ветров небесных соберу вы, глаголет Господь:
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.
7 в Сион спасайтеся, живущии во дщери Вавилонстей.
'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
8 Зане сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: вслед славы посла Мя на языки пленившыя вас, зане касаяйся вас яко касаяйся в зеницу ока Его:
For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
9 зане, се, Аз наношу руку Мою на ня, и будут корысть работающым им, и уразумеете, яко Господь Вседержитель посла Мя.
For, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10 Красуйся и веселися, дщи Сионя, зане, се, Аз гряду и вселюся посреде тебе, глаголет Господь.
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says the LORD.
11 И прибегнут языцы мнози ко Господу в той день и будут Ему в люди и вселятся посреде тебе, и уразумееши, яко Господь Вседержитель посла Мя к тебе.
Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
12 И наследит Господь Иуду, участие Свое на земли святей, и изберет еще Иерусалима.
The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Да благоговеет всяка плоть от лица Господня, яко воста из облак святых Своих.
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
