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 looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

2 et dixi quo tu vadis et dixit ad me ut metiar Hierusalem et videam quanta sit latitudo eius et quanta longitudo eius

And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

3 et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius

And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,

4 et dixit ad eum curre loquere ad puerum istum dicens absque muro habitabitur Hierusalem prae multitudine hominum et iumentorum in medio eius

and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

5 et ego ero ei ait Dominus murus ignis in circuitu et in gloria ero in medio eius

And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a 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, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,

7 o Sion fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis

[even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you 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 eius

For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that 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 bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

10 lauda et laetare filia Sion quia ecce ego venio et habitabo in medio tui ait Dominus

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

11 et adplicabuntur 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 flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

12 et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata et eliget adhuc Hierusalem

And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.

13 sileat omnis caro a facie Domini quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo

Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
