< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir, et in manu eius funiculus mensorum.
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Et ecce angelus, qui loquebatur in me, egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius.
4 and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
Et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Ierusalem præ multitudine hominum, et iumentorum in medio eius.
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto 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 eius.
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
O, o fugite de terra Aquilonis, dicit Dominus: quoniam in quattuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
O Sion, fuge quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth 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 mine hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath 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, saith the LORD.
Lauda, et lætare filia Sion: quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto 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 the LORD shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata: et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD: for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini: quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
