Zechariah 2
1 Then I looked again and I saw 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 “Where are you going?” I asked him. “I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied.
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.
3 The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came to meet him
Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:
4 and told him, “Run, and tell the young man that Jerusalem will have so many people and farm animals that it will be too big to have walls.”
et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.
5 The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside it.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.
6 Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven.
[O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape.
O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For this is what the Lord Almighty said: Afterwards the glorious Lord sent me against the nations that plundered you—for those who touch you touch 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 I will raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty 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 in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with you, declares the Lord.
Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 Many nations will become believers in Lord on that day, and they shall be my people. I will live among you, and you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
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 The people of Judah will be the Lord's special people in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem as his special city.
Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
13 Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.]
