Zechariah 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 I looked up and was surprised to see a man holding a tape measure in his hand.

2 I said, "What are you up to?" "I'm on my way," he said, "to survey Jerusalem, to measure its width and length."

3 Just then the Messenger-Angel on his way out

4 and said, "Run! Tell the Surveyor, 'Jerusalem will burst its walls - bursting with people, bursting with animals.

5 And I'll be right there with her' - God's Decree - 'a wall of fire around unwalled Jerusalem and a radiant presence within.'"

6 "Up on your feet! Get out of there - and now!" God says so. "Return from your far exile. I scattered you to the four winds." God's Decree.

7 "Escape from Babylon, Zion, and come home - now!"

8 God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the One of Glory who sent me on my mission, commenting on the godless nations who stripped you and left you homeless, said, "Anyone who hits you, hits me - bloodies my nose, blackens my eye.

9 Yes, and at the right time I'll give the signal and they'll be stripped and thrown out by their own servants." Then you'll know for sure that God-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me on this mission.

10 "Shout and celebrate, Daughter of Zion! I'm on my way. I'm moving into your neighborhood!" God's Decree.

11 Many godless nations will be linked up with God at that time. ("They will become my family! I'll live in their homes!") And then you'll know for sure that God-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me on this mission.

12 God will reclaim his Judah inheritance in the Holy Land. He'll again make clear that Jerusalem is his choice.

13 Quiet, everyone! Shh! Silence before God. Something's afoot in his holy house. He's on the move!

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce vir et in manu eius funiculus mensorum

2 et dixi quo tu vadis et dixit ad me ut metiar Hierusalem et videam quanta sit latitudo eius et quanta longitudo eius

3 et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius

4 et dixit ad eum curre loquere ad puerum istum dicens absque muro habitabitur Hierusalem prae multitudine hominum et iumentorum in medio eius

5 et ego ero ei ait Dominus murus ignis in circuitu et in gloria ero in medio eius

6 o o fugite de terra aquilonis dicit Dominus quoniam in quattuor ventos caeli dispersi vos dicit Dominus

7 o Sion fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis

8 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum post gloriam misit me ad gentes quae spoliaverunt vos qui enim tetigerit vos tangit pupillam oculi eius

9 quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos et erunt praedae his qui serviebant sibi et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me

10 lauda et laetare filia Sion quia ecce ego venio et habitabo in medio tui ait Dominus

11 et adplicabuntur gentes multae ad Dominum in die illa et erunt mihi in populum et habitabo in medio tui et scies quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad te

12 et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata et eliget adhuc Hierusalem

13 sileat omnis caro a facie Domini quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo
