Zaccharias Propheta 2

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

And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

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

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.

3 Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:

And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

4 et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.

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.

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

For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.

Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.

7 O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Ho 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 saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that 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 shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah 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 come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

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 shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

12 Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.

And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

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

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