Zechariah 2
1 And Y reiside myn iyen, and siy, and lo! a man, and lo! in his hoond a litil coorde of meteris.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.
2 And Y seide, Whidir goist thou? And he seide to me, That Y mete Jerusalem, and Judee; hou myche is the breede therof, and hou myche is the lengthe therof.
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.
3 And lo! the aungel that spak in me, wente out, and another aungel wente out in to the metyng of hym, and seide to hym,
Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:
4 Renne thou, speke to this child, and seie thou, Jerusalem shal be enhabitid with out wal, for the multitude of men and of beestis in the myddil therof.
et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.
5 And Y schal be to it, seith the Lord, a wal of fier in cumpas; and Y schal be in glorie in myddil therof.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.
6 A! A! A! fle ye fro the lond of the north, seith the Lord, for in foure wyndis of heuene Y scateride you, seith the Lord.
[O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 A! thou Sion, fle, that dwellist at the douyter of Babiloyne.
O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, After glorie he sente me to hethene men, whiche robbiden you; for he that schal touche you, schal touche the apple of myn iye.
quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad gentes quæ spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:
9 For lo! Y reise myn hond on hem, and thei schulen be preyes to these that seruyden hem; and ye schulen knowe, that the Lord of oostis sente me.
quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his qui serviebant sibi: et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.
10 Douyter of Sion, herie thou, and be glad; for lo! Y come, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee, seith the Lord.
Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 And many folkis schulen be applied to the Lord in that dai, and thei schulen be to me in to puple, and Y schal dwelle in myddil of thee; and thou schalt wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to 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 schal welde Juda in to his part, in the loud halewid, and schal cheese yit Jerusalem.
Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
13 Ech fleisch be stil fro the face of the Lord, for he roos of his hooli dwelling place.
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.]
