Zechariah 9

1 This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —

onus verbi Domini in terra Adrach et Damasci requiei eius quia Domini est oculus hominis et omnium tribuum Israhel

2 and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.

Emath quoque in terminis eius et Tyrus et Sidon adsumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde

3 Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.

et aedificavit Tyrus munitionem suam et coacervavit argentum quasi humum et aurum ut lutum platearum

4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.

ecce Dominus possidebit eam et percutiet in mari fortitudinem eius et haec igni devorabitur

5 Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.

videbit Ascalon et timebit et Gaza et dolebit nimis et Accaron quoniam confusa est spes eius et peribit rex de Gaza et Ascalon non habitabitur

6 A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

et sedebit separator in Azoto et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum

7 I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.

et auferam sanguinem eius de ore eius et abominationes eius de medio dentium eius et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro et erit quasi dux in Iuda et Accaron quasi Iebuseus

8 But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.

et circumdabo domum meam ex his qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes et non transibit super eos ultra exactor quia nunc vidi in oculis meis

9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

exulta satis filia Sion iubila filia Hierusalem ecce rex tuus veniet tibi iustus et salvator ipse pauper et ascendens super asinum et super pullum filium asinae

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.

et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim et equum de Hierusalem et dissipabitur arcus belli et loquetur pacem gentibus et potestas eius a mari usque ad mare et a fluminibus usque ad fines terrae

11 As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.

tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu in quo non est aqua

12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.

convertimini ad munitionem vincti spei hodie quoque adnuntians duplicia reddam tibi

13 For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

quoniam extendi mihi Iudam quasi arcum implevi Ephraim et suscitabo filios tuos Sion super filios tuos Graecia et ponam te quasi gladium fortium

14 Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.

et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur et exibit ut fulgur iaculum eius et Dominus Deus in tuba canet et vadet in turbine austri

15 The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.

Dominus exercituum proteget eos et devorabunt et subicient lapidibus fundae et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi vino et replebuntur ut fialae et quasi cornua altaris

16 On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.

et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa ut gregem populi sui quia lapides sancti elevantur super terram eius

17 How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.

quid enim bonum eius est et quid pulchrum eius nisi frumentum electorum et vinum germinans virgines
