MODERN HEBREW BIBLENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ואשא עיני וארא והנה איש ובידו חבל מדה1 I raised my eyes and looked; there were four horns.
2 ואמר אנה אתה הלך ויאמר אלי למד את ירושלם לראות כמה רחבה וכמה ארכה2 Then I asked the angel who spoke with me what these were. He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah and Israeland Jerusalem."
3 והנה המלאך הדבר בי יצא ומלאך אחר יצא לקראתו3 Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths. And I asked, "What are these coming to do?"
4 ויאמר אלו רץ דבר אל הנער הלז לאמר פרזות תשב ירושלם מרב אדם ובהמה בתוכה4 And he said, "Here are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head any more; but these have come to terrify them: to cast down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."
5 ואני אהיה לה נאם יהוה חומת אש סביב ולכבוד אהיה בתוכה5 Again I raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.
6 הוי הוי ונסו מארץ צפון נאם יהוה כי כארבע רוחות השמים פרשתי אתכם נאם יהוה6 "Where are you going?" I asked. "To measure Jerusalem," he answered; "to see how great is its width and how great its length."
7 הוי ציון המלטי יושבת בת בבל7 Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him,
8 כי כה אמר יהוה צבאות אחר כבוד שלחני אל הגוים השללים אתכם כי הנגע בכם נגע בבבת עינו8 and said to him, "Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst.
9 כי הנני מניף את ידי עליהם והיו שלל לעבדיהם וידעתם כי יהוה צבאות שלחני9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst."
10 רני ושמחי בת ציון כי הנני בא ושכנתי בתוכך נאם יהוה10 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I scatter you to the four winds of heaven, says the LORD.
11 ונלוו גוים רבים אל יהוה ביום ההוא והיו לי לעם ושכנתי בתוכך וידעת כי יהוה צבאות שלחני אליך11 Up, escape to Zion! you who dwell in daughter Babylon.
12 ונחל יהוה את יהודה חלקו על אדמת הקדש ובחר עוד בירושלם12 For thus said the LORD of hosts (after he had already sent me) concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
13 הס כל בשר מפני יהוה כי נעור ממעון קדשו13 See, I wave my hand over them; they become plunder for their slaves. Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.
15 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
16 The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.
17 Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his holy dwelling.
