< Zechariah 2 >
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.
2 Then I said, Where do thou go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem. To see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.
3 And, behold, the agent who talked with me went forth. And another agent went out to meet him,
Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:
4 and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.
5 For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Jehovah. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Jehovah.
O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 Ho Zion, escape, thou who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For thus says Jehovah of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad gentes quæ spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me.
quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his qui serviebant sibi: et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says Jehovah.
Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to thee.
Et applicabuntur gentes multæ 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 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah, for he has arisen out of his holy habitation.
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
