1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: 5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. 7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
1 我又举目观看, 看见一人手里拿着量度用的绳子。(本节在《马索拉抄本》为2:5)
2 我问他: "你到哪里去?"他对我说: "我要去量度耶路撒冷, 看看有多宽, 有多长。"
3 那与我说话的天使离去的时候, 另有一位天使迎着他来,
4 对他说: "你快跑去告诉那年轻人: ‘耶路撒冷必有人居住, 像没有城墙规限的田野, 因为城中的人和牲畜很多。
5 耶和华说: 我要作耶路撒冷四围的火墙和城中的荣耀。’"
6 "嗨! 嗨! 你们要从北方之地逃走(这是耶和华的宣告), 因为我过去曾把你们分散在天的四方。"这是耶和华的宣告。
7 耶和华说: "嗨! 与巴比伦的居民同住的锡安的人民哪! 逃跑吧! "
8 万军之耶和华这样说, 得了荣耀之后, 他差遣我去攻击那些劫掠你们的列国, 因为凡触摸你们的, 就是触摸他眼中的瞳人。
9 看哪! 我要向他们挥动我的手, 他们就必成了自己奴仆的掠物。这样, 你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我。
10 "锡安的居民("居民"原文作"女子")哪! 你们要欢呼快乐, 因为我要来住在你们中间。"这是耶和华的宣告。
11 到那日, 许多国家要归附耶和华, 作他的("他的"原文作"我的")子民, 他要("他要"原文作"我要")住在你们中间。你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们那里去。
12 耶和华必再得着犹大作他在圣地的业分, 他必再拣选耶路撒冷。
13 全人类都当在耶和华面前肃静, 因为他从自己圣洁的居所被激动起来了。
