1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?"
He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him, 4 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 For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh. 7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’ 8 For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye. 9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me. 10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh. 11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. 12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from 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。
