Zacarías 2

1 Entonces miré otra vez y vi a un hombre con una línea de medida en su mano.

And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

2 “¿A dónde vas?” le pregunté. “Voy a Jerusalén a medir su anchura y su longitud”, respondió.

And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”

3 El ángel con el que yo hablaba vino Adelante y otro ángel vino a su encuentro

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

4 y le dijo: “Corre, y dije al joven que Jerusalén tendrán tantos habitantes y animales que será demasiado grande para tener muros”.

and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

5 El Señor declara: Yo mismo será un muro de fuego alrededor de la ciudad, y seré la gloria dentro de ella.

And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.

6 ¡Corre! ¡Corre! Escapa de la tierra del norte, dice el Señor, porque yo te he dispersado a los cuatro vientos del cielo.

Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.

7 ¡Corre, pueblo de Sión! Todos ustedes que viven en Babilonia deben escapar.

Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8 Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Después, el glorioso Señor me envió contra las naciones que te sitiaron. Porque los que te tocan, es como si tocaran la luz de sus ojos.

For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.

9 Yo levantaré mi mano contra ellos y sus antiguos esclavos los squearán. Entonces sabrán que el Señor Todopoderoso me ha enviado.

For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.

10 Canta y celebra, pueblo de Sión, porque yo vengo a vivir contigo, declara el Señor.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.

11 Ese día, muchas naciones creerán en el Señor, y serán mi pueblo. Yo viviré en medio de ustedes, y ustedes sabrán que el Señor Todopoderoso me ha enviado a ustedes.

And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.

12 El pueblo de Judá será el pueblo especial del Señor en la tierra santa, y una vez más elegirá a Israel como su ciudad especial.

And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.

13 Callen ante el Señor, todos ustedes, porque él se ha levantado del lugar santo donde habita.

Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
