2 S o I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To see how long and how wide Jerusalem is.”

فَسألْتُهُ: «إلَى أينَ أنتَ ذاهِبٌ؟» فَقالَ لِي: «أنا ذاهِبٌ لِأقِيسَ مَدينَةَ القُدْسِ، لِأعرِفَ كَمْ عَرضُها وَكَمْ طُولُها.»

3 T hen the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him,

4 a nd said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the many men and cattle in it.

فَقالَ المَلاكُ الأوَّلُ لِلثّانِي: «اركُضْ وَقُلْ لِهَذا الشّابِّ: ‹سَتُسْكَنُ مَدينَةُ القُدْسِ لَكِنْ بِلا أسْوارٍ لأنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِيها أُناسٌ وَحَيواناتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.›

6 “ Come, come, run from the land of the north!” says the Lord. “For I have sent you to the four winds of the heavens,” says the Lord.

7 “ O Zion! Run away, you who are living with the people of Babylon.”

«يا أهَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ السّاكِنينَ فِي بابِلَ، اهرُبُوا مِنْها!»

8 F or the Lord of All says, “The Lord of shining-greatness has sent Me against the nations which have robbed you in battle. For whoever touches you, touches what is of great worth to Him.

أكرَمَنِي اللهُ القَدِيرُ، ثُمَّ أرسَلَنِي إلَى الأُمَمِ الَّتِي نَهَبَتْكُمْ وَقالَ عَنكُمْ: «مَنْ يُؤْذِيكُمْ يُؤْذِي عَيني!»

وَقالَ: «سَأرفَعُ يَدَيَّ ضِدَّ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ، حَتَّى إنَّ عَبيدَهُمْ سَيَسلِبُونَهُمْ.» حِينَئِذٍ سَتَعرِفُونَ أنَّ اللهَ القَدِيرَ أرسَلَنِي.

10 S ing for joy and be glad, O people of Zion. For I am coming and I will live among you,” says the Lord.
