Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my 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 I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, 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 to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
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,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu: et in gloria ero in medio eius.
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.
O, o fugite de terra Aquilonis, dicit Dominus: quoniam in quattuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
O Sion, fuge quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For the LORD of Armies says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches 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 my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Armies 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 and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
Lauda, et lætare filia Sion: quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell amongst you, and you shall know that the LORD of Armies 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 LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again 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 has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini: quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
