Darum so spricht der HERR: Ich will mich wieder zu Jerusalem kehren mit Barmherzigkeit, und mein Haus soll darin gebaut werden, spricht der HERR Zebaoth; dazu soll die Zimmerschnur in Jerusalem gezogen werde.
Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Yo me he tornado a Jerusalem con miseraciones; en ella será edificada mi casa, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y la plomada será tendida sobre Jerusalem.
Por eso, así dice Jehová: “He vuelto a Jerusalén con compasión; mi casa será reconstruida en ella —declara Jehová de los ejércitos— y se extenderá un cordel de medir sobre Jerusalén”.
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Eternel: Je reviens à Jérusalem avec compassion; ma maison y sera rebâtie, et le cordeau sera étendu sur Jérusalem.
Perciò, così ha detto il Signore: Io mi son rivolto verso Gerusalemme in compassione; la mia Casa sarà in essa riedificata, dice il Signor degli eserciti; e il regolo sarà disteso sopra Gerusalemme.
Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR: Voltei-me para Jerusalém com misericórdia; nela será edificada a minha casa, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, e o cordel será estendido sobre Jerusalém:
所以耶和華如此說:現在我回到 耶路撒冷 ,仍要施憐憫,我的殿要重建在其中,準繩必拉在 耶路撒冷 之上。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
