Zechariah - Chapter 2

1I looked up, and I saw four horns.

va-e-SAH et-ei-NAI va-e-RE va-hi-NEH ar-BA k'-ra-NOT

אוָאֶשָּׂ֥א אֶת־עֵינַ֖י וָאֵ֑רֶא וְהִנֵּ֖ה אַרְבַּ֥ע קְרָנֽוֹת׃

2I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are those?” “Those,” he replied, “are the horns that tossed Yehuda, Yisrael, and Yerushalayim.”

3Then Hashem showed me four smiths.

vai-YAR-e-NI a-do-NAI ar-ba-AH kha-ra-SHEEM

גוַיַּרְאֵ֣נִי יְהֹוָ֔ה אַרְבָּעָ֖ה חָרָשִֽׁים׃

4“What are they coming to do?” I asked. He replied: “Those are the horns that tossed Yehuda, so that no man could raise his head; and these men have come to throw them into a panic, to hew down the horns of the nations that raise a horn against the land of Yehuda, to toss it.”

5I looked up, and I saw a man holding a measuring line.

va-e-SA e-NAI va-E-re v'-hi-NEH eesh u-v'-ya-DO khe-VEL mi-DAH

הוָאֶשָּׂ֥א עֵינַ֛י וָאֵ֖רֶא וְהִנֵּה־אִ֑ישׁ וּבְיָד֖וֹ חֶ֥בֶל מִדָּֽה׃

6“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Yerushalayim,” he replied, “to see how long and wide it is to be.”

va-o-MAR a-NAH a-TAH ho-LEKH va-YO-mer e-LAI la-MOD et y'-ru-sha-LA-im li-ROT ka-MAH ra-KH'-BAH v'-ka-MAH o-r'-KAH

7But the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him.

8The former said to him, “Run to that young man and tell him: “Yerushalayim shall be peopled as a city without walls, so many shall be the men and cattle it contains.

9And I Myself—declares Hashem—will be a wall of fire all around it, and I will be a glory inside it.

10“Away, away! Flee from the land of the north—says Hashem—though I swept you [there] like the four winds of heaven—declares Hashem.”

11Away, escape, O Tzion, you who dwell in Fair Babylon!

hoi tzi-YON hi-mal-TI yo-SHE-vet bat-BA-vel.

12For thus said the lord of Hosts—He who sent me after glory—concerning the nations that have taken you as spoil: “Whoever touches you touches the pupil of his own eye.

13For I will lift My hand against them, and they shall be spoil for those they enslaved.”—Then you shall know that I was sent by the lord of Hosts.

14Shout for joy, Fair Tzion! For lo, I come; and I will dwell in your midst—declares Hashem.

15In that day many nations will attach themselves to Hashem and become His people, and He will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that I was sent to you by the lord of Hosts.

16Hashem will take Yehuda to Himself as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will choose Yerushalayim once more.

17Be silent, all flesh, before Hashem! For He is roused from His holy habitation.
