1 A nd I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Entonces alcé los ojos y miré a un hombre con un cordel de medir en la mano.

2 T hen said I, Where are you going? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length.

Y le dije: “¿Adónde vas?” “A medir a Jerusalén, para ver cuánta es su anchura y cuánta su longitud,” me respondió.

3 A nd behold, the angel who talked with me went forth and another angel went out to meet him,

Cuando el ángel que hablaba conmigo se iba, otro ángel le salió al encuentro,

4 A nd he said to the second angel, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited and dwell as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it.

y le dijo: “Corre, habla a ese joven, y dile: ‘Sin muros será habitada Jerusalén, a causa de la multitud de hombres y de ganados dentro de ella.

5 F or I, says the Lord, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

Porque Yo seré para ella,’ declara el Señor, ‘una muralla de fuego en derredor, y gloria seré en medio de ella.’”

6 H o! ho! flee from the land of the north, says the Lord, and from the four winds of the heavens, for to them have I scattered you, says the Lord.

“¡Escúchenme! Huyan de la tierra del norte,” declara el Señor, “pues Yo los dispersé por los cuatro vientos del cielo,” declara el Señor.

7 H o! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon!

¡Sion, tú que moras con la hija de Babilonia, escápate!

8 F or thus said the Lord of hosts, after glory had sent me to the nations who plundered you—for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye:

Porque así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, cuya gloria me ha enviado contra las naciones que los despojaron, porque el que los toca, toca la niña de Su ojo:

9 B ehold, I will swing my hand over them and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me.

“Yo alzaré Mi mano contra ellas, y serán despojo para sus esclavos. Entonces sabrán que el Señor de los ejércitos Me ha enviado.

10 S ing and rejoice, O Daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

Canta de júbilo y alégrate, oh hija de Sion; porque voy a venir, y habitaré en medio de ti,” declara el Señor.

11 A nd many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day and shall be My people. And I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

Y muchas naciones se unirán al Señor aquel día, y serán Mi pueblo. Entonces habitaré en medio de ti, y sabrás que el Señor de los ejércitos Me ha enviado a ti.

12 A nd the Lord shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land and shall again choose Jerusalem.

El Señor poseerá a Judá, Su porción en la tierra santa, y escogerá de nuevo a Jerusalén.

13 B e still, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused and risen from His holy habitation.

Guarde silencio toda carne delante del Señor, porque El se ha levantado de Su santa morada.”
