Zaccharias Propheta 2

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

I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, 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.

Then said I, Where go you? And he said to 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 out 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 to 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.

For I, says the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the middle of her.

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

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, said the LORD.

7 O Sion, fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwell 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 says the LORD of hosts; After the glory has he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches 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 on them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.

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

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, see, I come, and I will dwell in the middle of you, says the LORD.

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 be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the middle of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

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

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

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

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
