Zaccharias Propheta 8
1 Et factum est verbum Domini exercituum, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came [unto me], saying,
2 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Zelatus sum Sion zelo magno, et indignatione magna zelatus sum eam.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury.
3 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Reversus sum ad Sion, et habitabo in medio Ierusalem: et vocabitur Ierusalem Civitas veritatis, et Mons Domini exercituum mons sanctificatus.
Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called, The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
4 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc habitabunt senes, et anus in plateis Ierusalem: et viri baculus in manu eius prae multitudine dierum.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days.
5 Et plateae civitatis complebuntur infantibus, et puellis ludentibus in plateis eius.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Si videbitur difficile in oculis reliquiarum populi huius in diebus illis, numquid in oculis meis difficile erit, dicit Dominus exercituum?
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be wonderful in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego salvabo populum meum de terra Orientis, et de terra Occasus solis.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;
8 Et adducam eos, et habitabunt in medio Ierusalem: et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eis in Deum in veritate, et in iustitia.
and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Confortentur manus vestrae, qui auditis in his diebus sermones istos per os prophetarum in die, qua fundata est domus Domini exercituum, ut templum aedificaretur.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 Siquidem ante dies illos merces hominum non erat, nec merces iumentorum erat, neque introeunti, neque exeunti erat pax prae tribulatione: et dimisi omnes homines, unumquemque contra proximum suum.
For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.
11 Nunc autem non iuxta dies priores ego faciam reliquiis populi huius, dicit Dominus exercituum,
But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts;
12 sed semen pacis erit: vinea dabit fructum suum, et terra dabit germen suum, et caeli dabunt rorem suum: et possidere faciam reliquias populi huius universa haec.
for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
13 Et erit: sicut eratis maledictio in Gentibus, domus Iuda, et domus Israel: sic salvabo vos, et eritis benedictio: nolite timere, confortentur manus vestrae.
And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong.
14 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sicut cogitavi ut affligerem vos, cum ad iracundiam provocassent patres vestri me, dicit Dominus,
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Like as I thought to do you evil when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;
15 et non sum misertus: sic conversus cogitavi in diebus istis ut benefaciam domui Iuda, et Ierusalem: nolite timere.
so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 Haec sunt ergo verba, quae facietis: Loquimini veritatem, unusquisque cum proximo suo: veritatem, et iudicium pacis iudicate in portis vestris.
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates;
17 Et unusquisque malum contra amicum suum ne cogitetis in cordibus vestris: et iuramentum mendax ne diligatis: omnia enim haec sunt, quae odi, dicit Dominus.
and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are [things] that I hate, saith Jehovah.
18 Et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me, dicens:
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ieiunium quarti, et ieiunium quinti, et ieiunium septimi, et ieiunium decimi erit domui Iuda in gaudium, et laetitiam, et in sollemnitates praeclaras: veritatem tantum, et pacem diligite.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month] and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful gatherings. Love ye then truth and peace.
20 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Usquequo veniant populi, et habitent in civitatibus multis,
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
21 et vadant habitatores, unus ad alterum, dicentes: Eamus, et deprecemur faciem Domini, et quaeramus Dominum exercituum: vadam etiam ego.
and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to supplicate Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also.
22 Et venient populi multi, et gentes robustae ad quaerendum Dominum exercituum in Ierusalem, et deprecandam faciem Domini.
And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to supplicate Jehovah.
23 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: In diebus illis, in quibus apprehendent decem homines ex omnibus linguis Gentium, et apprehendent fimbriam viri Iudaei, dicentes: Ibimus vobiscum: audivimus enim quoniam Deus vobiscum est.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days shall ten men take hold, out of all languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard [that] God is with you.
