Zaccharias Propheta 2

1 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir, et in manu eius 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 Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.

And I said, 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 eius.

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

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

and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein;

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

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

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

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

7 O Sion, fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

8 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad gentes, quae spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

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

For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

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

Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

11 Et applicabuntur Gentes multae 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 unto me for a 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 Iuda partem suam in terra sanctificata: et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.

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.

Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
