Futura gloria de Jerusalén
2 [a]Entonces alcé los ojos y miré, y he aquí, vi un hombre con un cordel de medir en la mano(A). 2 Y le dije: ¿Adónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir a Jerusalén para ver cuánta es su anchura y cuánta su longitud(B). 3 Y he aquí, cuando el ángel que hablaba conmigo(C) salía, otro ángel le salió al encuentro, 4 y le dijo: Corre, habla a ese joven(D), y dile: «Sin muros[b] será habitada(E) Jerusalén(F), a causa de la multitud de hombres(G) y de ganados dentro de ella. 5 Y yo seré para ella» —declara el Señor— «una muralla(H) de fuego en derredor, y gloria seré en medio de ella(I)».
6 ¡Ea, ea! Huid de la tierra del norte(J) —declara el Señor— porque como a los cuatro vientos del cielo os dispersé yo —declara el Señor(K). 7 ¡Ea, Sión, tú que moras con la hija de Babilonia, escápate(L)! 8 Porque así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, cuya[c] gloria me ha enviado contra las naciones que os despojaron(M), porque el que os toca, toca la niña de su ojo(N): 9 He aquí, alzaré mi mano contra ellas(O), y serán despojo para sus esclavos(P). Entonces sabréis que el Señor de los ejércitos me ha enviado. 10 Canta de júbilo y alégrate, oh hija de Sión; porque he aquí, vengo, y habitaré en medio de ti(Q) —declara el Señor(R). 11 Y se unirán muchas naciones al Señor(S) aquel día, y serán mi pueblo. Entonces habitaré en medio de ti(T), y sabrás que el Señor de los ejércitos me ha enviado a ti(U). 12 Y el Señor poseerá[d] a Judá, su porción en la tierra santa(V), y escogerá de nuevo a Jerusalén(W). 13 Calle toda carne delante del Señor(X), porque Él se ha levantado de su santa morada(Y).

Chapter 2
Vision of the Four Horns and the Workers.[a] 1 I looked up and beheld four horns. 2 I inquired of the angel who was conversing with me what these were. He answered me, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
3 Then the Lord showed me four blacksmiths. And I said, “What are these coming to do?” 4 He replied, “Those horns scattered Judah so completely that no one dared to raise his head. However, those blacksmiths have come to terrify them and to strike down the horns of the nations that raised their horns against the land of Judah in order to scatter its people.”
The New Jerusalem.[b] 5 Following this, I raised my eyes and observed a man with a measuring line in his hand. 6 When I asked him, “Where are you going?” he replied, “To measure Jerusalem, to discover what is its width and what is its length.”
7 When the angel who was talking to me walked away, another angel came out to meet him 8 and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: Jerusalem will remain without walls because of the great multitude of men and animals dwelling there. 9 But I will be a wall of fire all around it, says the Lord. And I will be the glory within it.”
10 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,
says the Lord.
For I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,
says the Lord.
11 Away, away! Escape to Zion,
you who presently live in daughter Babylon.
12 For thus said the Lord of hosts
after he sent me forth,
in regard to the nations that plundered you:
Whoever touches you
touches the apple of my eye.
13 Behold, I will wave my hand over them,
and they will be plunder
for those they have enslaved.
Thus you will know
that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion.
For I am coming to dwell in your midst,
says the Lord.
15 On that day
many nations will be converted to the Lord.
Yes, they will become his people,
and he will dwell among you.
Then you will know that the Lord of hosts
has sent me to you.
16 The Lord will claim Judah
as his portion in the holy land,
and once again he will choose Jerusalem.
17 Let all people be silent
in the presence of the Lord.
For he has roused himself
from his holy dwelling.
