Zacarías 2
1 Entonces miré otra vez y vi a un hombre con una línea de medida en su mano.
Next I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 “¿A dónde vas?” le pregunté. “Voy a Jerusalén a medir su anchura y su longitud”, respondió.
I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
3 El ángel con el que yo hablaba vino Adelante y otro ángel vino a su encuentro
Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went 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”.
The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, 'Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.
5 El Señor declara: Yo mismo será un muro de fuego alrededor de la ciudad, y seré la gloria dentro de ella.
For I—this is Yahweh's declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the 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.
Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration— for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—This is Yahweh's declaration.
7 ¡Corre, pueblo de Sión! Todos ustedes que viven en Babilonia deben escapar.
Up! Escape to Zion, you who live 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 after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you— for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God's eye!—after Yahweh did this, he said,
9 Yo levantaré mi mano contra ellos y sus antiguos esclavos los squearán. Entonces sabrán que el Señor Todopoderoso me ha enviado.
“I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.
10 Canta y celebra, pueblo de Sión, porque yo vengo a vivir contigo, declara el Señor.
“Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
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.
Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh 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.
For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
13 Callen ante el Señor, todos ustedes, porque él se ha levantado del lugar santo donde habita.
Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
