1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 And I said, 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 forth 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 and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.

7 Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

10 Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah {as} his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

13 Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen 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。
