Zaccharias Propheta 2

1 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir, et in manu eius funiculus mensorum.

And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.

2 Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.

Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.

3 Et ecce angelus, qui loquebatur in me, egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius.

And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;

4 Et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Ierusalem præ multitudine hominum, et iumentorum in medio eius.

And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.

5 Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu: et in gloria ero in medio eius.

But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be in the midst of her.

6 O, o fugite de terra Aquilonis, dicit Dominus: quoniam in quattuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.

Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.

7 O Sion, fuge quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

8 quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad Gentes, quæ spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his, qui serviebant sibi: et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.

For, behold, I will swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.

10 Lauda, et lætare filia Sion: quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

11 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.

And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

12 Et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata: et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.

And the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.

13 Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini: quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.

Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
