Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
In mense octavo in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam, filium Barachiae filii Addo, prophetam, dicens:
2 The LORD has been sore displeased with your fathers.
Iratus est Dominus super patres vestros iracundia.
3 Therefore say you to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Turn you to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the LORD of hosts.
Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Convertimini ad me, ait Dominus exercituum: et convertar ad vos, dicit Dominus exercituum.
4 Be you not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Turn you now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.
Ne sitis sicut patres vestri, ad quos clamabant prophetae priores, dicentes: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Convertimini de viis vestris malis, et de cogitationibus vestris pessimis: et non audierunt, neque attenderunt ad me, dicit Dominus.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
Patres vestri ubi sunt? et prophetae numquid in sempiternum vivent?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us.
Verumtamen verba mea, et legitima mea, quae mandavi servis meis prophetis, numquid non comprehenderunt patres vestros, et conversi sunt, et dixerunt: Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis secundum vias nostras, et secundum adinventiones nostras fecit nobis.
7 On the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
In die vigesima et quarta undecimi mensis Sabath, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiae, filii Addo, prophetam, dicens:
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir ascendens super equum rufum, et ipse stabat inter myrteta, quae erant in profundo: et post eum equi rufi, varii, et albi.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show you what these be.
Et dixi: Quid sunt isti, domine mi? Et dixit ad me Angelus, qui loquebatur in me: Ego ostendam tibi quid sint haec.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Et respondit vir, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixit: Isti sunt, quos misit Dominus ut perambulent terram.
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.
Et responderunt Angelo Domini, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixerunt: Perambulavimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitatur, et quiescit.
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these three score and ten years?
Et respondit angelus Domini, et dixit: Domine exercituum usquequo tu non misereberis Ierusalem, et urbium Iuda, quibus iratus es? iste iam septuagesimus annus est.
13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
Et respondit Dominus angelo, qui loquebatur in me verba bona, verba consolatoria.
14 So the angel that communed with me said to me, Cry you, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Et dixit ad me angelus, qui loquebatur in me: Clama, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Zelatus sum Ierusalem, et Sion zelo magno.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Et ira magna ego irascor super gentes opulentas: quia ego iratus sum parum, ipsae vero adiuverunt in malum.
16 Therefore thus says the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth on Jerusalem.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Revertar ad Ierusalem in misericordiis: et domus mea aedificabitur in ea, ait Dominus exercituum: et perpendiculum extendetur super Ierusalem.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Adhuc, clama dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc affluent civitates meae bonis: et consolabitur adhuc Dominus Sion, et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.
18 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce quattuor cornua.
19 And I said to the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt haec? Et dixit ad me: Haec sunt cornua, quae ventilaverunt Iuda, et Israel, et Ierusalem.
20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
Et ostendit mihi Dominus quattuor fabros.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Et dixi: Quid isti veniunt facere? Qui ait, dicens: Haec sunt cornua, quae ventilaverunt Iuda per singulos viros, et nemo eorum levavit caput suum: et venerunt isti deterrere ea, ut deiiciant cornua gentium, quae levaverunt cornu super terram Iuda ut dispergerent eam.
