Zaccharias Propheta 2
1 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw 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.
“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”
3 Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:
Then the angel who was speaking 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 Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.
and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.
5 Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.
For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”
6 O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
7 O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell 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 this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches 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.
I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”
10 Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares 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.
“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.
12 Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.
13 Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
