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)
10 “Shout(Q) and be glad, Daughter Zion.(R) For I am coming,(S) and I will live among you,”(T) declares the Lord.(U) 11 “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.(V) I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.(W) 12 The Lord will inherit(X) Judah(Y) as his portion in the holy land and will again choose(Z) Jerusalem. 13 Be still(AA) before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.(AB)”

測り縄を持った人（第三の幻）
2 もう一度あたりを見回すと、一人の人が手に測り縄（物差しとして用いる縄）を持っているのが見えました。 2 「どこへ行くのですか。」「エルサレムを測りに行く。民全員を入れる大きさがあるかどうか、調べたいのだ」とその人は答えました。 3 私と話していた御使いが出て行くと、もう一人の御使いが彼に近づき、 4 こう言いました。「あの若者に、『いつの日かエルサレムは人であふれ、狭すぎるようになる』と告げなさい。町の城壁の外に多くの人がたくさんの家畜といっしょに住むようになる。それでも危険はない。 5 主が、彼らとエルサレム全体を守る火の城壁となるからだ。主はこの町の栄光となる。』
6-7 『さあ、北の国から、バビロンから逃げよ』と、主はバビロンに連れて行かれた者に言われる。「わたしはあなたがたを空中に散らしたが、もう一度連れ帰る。さあ、逃れよ、シオンに逃れよ。」 8 あなたがたを虐待した国々に私をお遣わしになった主は言う。『あなたがたを害するのは、わたしの目に指を突き刺すのと同じだからだ。 9 わたしは、こぶしで彼らを打ちのめし、彼らの奴隷が彼らの支配者となる。』その時あなたがたは、私を遣わした方が全能の主であることを知る。
10 エルサレムよ、喜び歌え。わたしが来て、共に住むからだと主は言われる。
11-12 その時、多くの国が主に心を向け、彼らもわたしの民となる。わたしは彼らすべてと共に住む。その時あなたがたは、私をあなたがたに遣わした方が全能の主であることを知る。ユダは、聖なる地で神の相続財産となる。神がもう一度エルサレムを選んで祝福するからだ。
13 すべての人よ、主の前で静まれ。主が天から、その聖なる住まいから地に来られるからだ。」

A Vision of a Man with a Measuring Line
2 [a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, (A)a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2 Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, (B)“To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.” 3 And behold, (C)the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him 4 and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, (D)‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited (E)as villages without walls, because of (F)the multitude of people and livestock in it. 5 And I will be to her (G)a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”
6 Up! Up! (H)Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have (I)spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. 7 (J)Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 8 For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me[b] to the nations who plundered you, (K)for he who touches you touches (L)the apple of his eye: 9 “Behold, (M)I will shake my hand over them, (N)and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then (O)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. 10 (P)Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for (Q)behold, I come (R)and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. 11 (S)And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. (T)And I will dwell in your midst, and (U)you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. 12 (V)And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again (W)choose Jerusalem.”
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
