RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold four horns.

1 ALCÉ después mis ojos, y miré y he aquí un varón que tenía en su mano un cordel de medir.

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, What are these things, [my] lord? And he said to me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, and Israel, and Jerusalem.

2 Y díjele: ¿A dónde vas? Y él me respondió: A medir á Jerusalem, para ver cuánta es su anchura, y cuánta su longitud.

2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

3 And the Lord showed me four artificers.

3 Y he aquí, salía aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y otro ángel le salió al encuentro,

3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

4 And I said, What are these coming to do? And he said, These are the horns that scattered Judah, and they broke Israel in pieces, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come forth to sharpen them for their hands, [even] the four horns, the nations that lifted up the horn against the land of the Lord to scatter it.

4 Y díjole: Corre, habla á este mozo, diciendo: Sin muros será habitada Jerusalem á causa de la multitud de los hombres, y de las bestias en medio de ella.

4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

5 Yo seré para ella, dice Jehová, muro de fuego en derredor, y seré por gloria en medio de ella.

5 For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.

6 And I said to him, Whither goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

6 Eh, eh, huid de la tierra del aquilón, dice Jehová, pues por los cuatro vientos de los cielos os esparcí, dice Jehová.

6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

7 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,

7 Oh Sión, la que moras con la hija de Babilonia, escápate.

7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’

8 and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

8 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Después de la gloria me enviará él á las gentes que os despojaron: porque el que os toca, toca á la niña de su ojo.

8 For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

9 And I will be to her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

9 Porque he aquí yo alzo mi mano sobre ellos, y serán despojo á sus siervos, y sabréis que Jehová de los ejércitos me envió.

9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

10 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord,

10 Canta y alégrate, hija de Sión: porque he aquí vengo, y moraré en medio de tí, ha dicho Jehová.

10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.

11 [even] to Zion: deliver yourselves, ye that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.

11 Y uniránse muchas gentes á Jehová en aquel día, y me serán por pueblo, y moraré en medio de ti; y entonces conocerás que Jehová de los ejércitos me ha enviado á ti.

11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

12 For thus saith the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.

12 Y Jehová poseerá á Judá su heredad en la tierra santa, y escogerá aún á Jerusalem.

12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

13 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

13 Calle toda carne delante de Jehová; porque él se ha despertado de su santa morada.

13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

14 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Zion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 2:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 27–29)
Behold, I will bring mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty hath sent me." Observe, the Lord Almighty saith that the Lord Almighty sent Him.
