Zechariah 7
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chislev,
et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam in quarta mensis noni qui est casleu
2 when Bethel had sent Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, to supplicate Jehovah,
et miserunt ad domum Dei Sarasar et Rogomelech et viri qui erant cum eo ad deprecandam faciem Domini
3 [and] to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done now so many years?
ut dicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum et prophetis loquentes numquid flendum mihi est in mense quinto vel sanctificare me debeo sicuti feci iam multis annis
4 And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye really fast unto me, [even] unto me?
loquere ad omnem populum terrae et ad sacerdotes dicens cum ieiunaretis et plangeretis in quinto et septimo per hos septuaginta annos numquid ieiunium ieiunastis mihi
6 And when ye ate, and when ye drank, was it not you that were eating and drinking?
et cum comedistis et cum bibistis numquid non vobis comedistis et vobismet ipsis bibistis
7 Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, and her cities round about her, when the south and the lowland were inhabited?
numquid non sunt verba quae locutus est Dominus in manu prophetarum priorum cum adhuc Hierusalem habitaretur et esset opulenta ipsa et urbes in circuitu eius et ad austrum et in campestribus habitaretur
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam dicens
9 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew loving-kindness and mercies one to another,
haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens iudicium verum iudicate et misericordiam et miserationes facite unusquisque cum fratre suo
10 and oppress not the widow and the fatherless, the stranger and the afflicted; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
et viduam et pupillum et advenam et pauperem nolite calumniari et malum vir fratri suo non cogitet in corde suo
11 But they refused to hearken, and turned a rebellious shoulder, and made their ears heavy, that they should not hear.
et noluerunt adtendere et verterunt scapulam recedentem et aures suas adgravaverunt ne audirent
12 And they made their heart [as] an adamant, that they should not hear the law, and the words that Jehovah of hosts sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore was there great wrath from Jehovah of hosts.
et cor suum posuerunt adamantem ne audirent legem et verba quae misit Dominus exercituum in spiritu suo per manum prophetarum priorum et facta est indignatio magna a Domino exercituum
13 And it came to pass, like as he called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear, saith Jehovah of hosts;
et factum est sicut locutus est et non audierunt sic clamabunt et non exaudiam dicit Dominus exercituum
14 and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not, and the land was desolate after them, so that no one passed through nor returned; and they laid the pleasant land desolate.
et dispersi eos per omnia regna quae nesciunt et terra desolata est ab eis eo quod non esset transiens et revertens et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum
