¹Opät som pozdvihol svoje oči a videl som a hľa, nejaký muž, v ktorého ruke bolo merné lano.

¹And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

²A povedal som: Kam ideš? A riekol mi: Zmerať Jeruzalem, aby som videl, aká veľká je jeho šírka a jaká jeho dĺžka.

²And I say, `Whither are thou going?` And he saith unto me, `To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much its length.`

³A hľa, anjel, ktorý hovoril so mnou, vychádzal, a iný anjel vychádzal oproti nemu

³And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

⁴a riekol mu: Bež, hovor tomuto mládencovi a povedz: Ako dediny bude neohradený bývať Jeruzalem pre množstvo ľudu a dobytka v ňom.

⁴and he saith unto him, `Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

⁵A ja mu budem, hovorí Hospodin, ohnivým múrom dookola a budem slávou v jeho strede.

⁵And I — I am to her — an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.

⁶Hej, hej, utečte zo zeme severa, hovorí Hospodin, lebo som vás rozostrel ako štyri nebeské vetry, hovorí Hospodin.

⁶Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁷Hej, Sione, utekaj a tak sa zachráň, ty, ktorý bývaš u dcéry Babylona!

⁷Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

⁸Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Po sláve ma poslal k národom, ktoré vás olupovaly; lebo ten, kto sa vás dotýka, dotýka sa zrenice jeho oka.

⁸For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

⁹Lebo hľa, budem mávať svojou rukou nad nimi, a budú korisťou svojim sluhom, a tak zviete, že Hospodin Zástupov ma poslal.

⁹For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me.

¹⁰Prespevuj a raduj sa, dcéro Siona, lebo hľa prijdem a budem bývať v tvojom strede, hovorí Hospodin.

¹⁰Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹¹A mnohé národy sa pripoja k Hospodinovi toho dňa a budú mi ľudom, a budem bývať v tvojom strede, a zvieš, že Hospodin Zástupov ma poslal k tebe.

¹¹And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.

¹²A Hospodin zdedí Júdu jako svoj podiel na svätej zemi a zase si vyvolí Jeruzalem.

¹²And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

¹³Umĺkni, každé telo, pred tvárou Hospodinovou, lebo sa zobudil z príbytku svojej svätosti.

¹³Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!`
