Zacarías 2

1 Después levanté mis ojos y miré, y ahí estaba un varón con un cordel de medir en su mano.

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

2 Y le pregunté: ¿A dónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir Jerusalén, para ver cuál es su anchura y su longitud.

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 Cuando salía el ángel que hablaba conmigo, otro ángel le salió al 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, habla a ese joven, y dile: Jerusalén será habitada sin muros a causa de la multitud de personas y de ganado que habrá en ella.

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 Yo le seré muro de fuego alrededor, y mi gloria estará dentro de ella, dice Yavé.

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

6 ¡Eh, eh! Huyan de la tierra del norte, dice Yavé. Pues los esparcí por los cuatro puntos del cielo, dice Yavé.

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 ¡Escapa, oh Sion, tú que vives con la hija de Babilonia!

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

8 Porque Yavé de las huestes dice: Tras la gloria me enviará a las naciones que los despojaron, porque el que los toca, toca la niña de mi ojo.

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 Por tanto, miren: Yo levanto mi mano contra ellos, y serán despojo para los que fueron sus esclavos. Y sabrán que Yavé de las huestes me envió.

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 alégrate, hija de Sion, porque ciertamente vengo, y viviré en medio de ti! dice Yavé.

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

11 Aquel día se unirán a Yavé muchas naciones y serán mi pueblo. Viviré en medio de ti, y conocerán que Yavé de las huestes me envió a ti.

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 Yavé poseerá a Judá como su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá a Jerusalén.

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

13 ¡Calle todo mortal ante Yavé, porque Él despertó en su santa morada!

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