Zacarias 2
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
2 At aking itinanaw ang aking mga mata, at aking nakita at, narito, ang isang lalake na may panukat na pisi sa kaniyang kamay.
2 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Saan ka paroroon? At sinabi niya sa akin, Upang sukatin ang Jerusalem, upang tingnan kung gaano ang luwang, at kung gaano ang haba.
3 At, narito, ang anghel na nakikipagusap sa akin ay umalis, at ibang anghel ay lumabas na sumalubong sa kaniya,
4 At sinabi sa kaniya, Tumakbo ka, iyong salitain sa binatang ito, na sabihin, Ang Jerusalem ay tatahanan na parang mga nayon na walang mga kuta, dahil sa karamihan ng mga tao at hayop doon.
5 Sapagka't ako, sabi ng Panginoon, ay magiging sa kaniya'y isang kutang apoy sa palibot, at ako'y magiging kaluwalhatian sa gitna niya.
6 Oy, oy, magsitakas kayo mula sa lupain ng hilagaan, sabi ng Panginoon; sapagka't kayo'y aking pinangalat na parang apat na hangin sa himpapawid, sabi ng Panginoon.
7 Oy Sion, tumanan ka, ikaw na tumatahan na kasama ng anak na babae ng Babilonia.
8 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: Dahil sa kaluwalhatian ay sinugo niya ako sa mga bansa na nanamsam sa inyo; sapagka't ang humihipo sa inyo, ay humihipo sa itim ng kaniyang mata.
9 Sapagka't narito, aking ikukumpas ang aking kamay sa kanila, at sila'y magiging samsam niyaong nangaglilingkod sa kanila; at inyong malalaman na ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ang nagsugo sa akin.
10 Ikaw ay umawit at magalak, Oh anak na babae ng Sion; sapagka't narito, ako'y naparirito, at ako'y tatahan sa gitna mo, sabi ng Panginoon.
11 At maraming bansa ay magpipisan sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon, at magiging aking bayan; at ako'y tatahan sa gitna mo, at iyong malalaman na ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ay siyang nagsugo sa akin sa iyo.
12 At mamanahin ng Panginoon ang Juda na pinaka bahagi niya sa banal na lupain at pipiliin pa ang Jerusalem.
13 Tumahimik ang lahat na tao, sa harap ng Panginoon; sapagka't siya'y gumising na sa kaniyang banal na tahanan.
Zechariah 2

2 The restoring of Jerusalem and Judah.
1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold, a [a]man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, that I may 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 out to meet him,
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this [b]young man, and say, [c]Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, for the multitude of men and cattle therein.
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of [d]fire round about, and will [e]be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come [f]forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I have scattered you into the four [g]winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 [h]Save thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, After this [i]glory hath he sent me unto the nations, which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the [j]apple of his eye.
9 For behold, I will lift up mine hand [k]upon them: and [l]they shall be a spoil to those that served them, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath [m]sent me.
10 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter Zion: for lo, I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy place.

A Man With a Measuring Line
2 [a]Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?”
He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”(A)
3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls(B) because of the great number(C) of people and animals in it.(D) 5 And I myself will be a wall(E) of fire(F) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory(G) within.’(H)
6 “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered(I) you to the four winds of heaven,”(J) declares the Lord.(K)
7 “Come, Zion! Escape,(L) you who live in Daughter Babylon!”(M) 8 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye(N)— 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[b](O) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.(P)

King James Version
2 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then said I, 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 out 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 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
