Zaccharias Propheta 7

1 et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam in quarta mensis noni qui est casleu

And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.

2 et miserunt ad domum Dei Sarasar et Rogomelech et viri qui erant cum eo ad deprecandam faciem Domini

And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate the Lord,

3 ut dicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum et prophetis loquentes numquid flendum mihi est in mense quinto vel sanctificare me debeo sicuti feci iam multis annis

speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.

4 et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens

And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

5 loquere ad omnem populum terrae et ad sacerdotes dicens cum ieiunaretis et plangeretis in quinto et septimo per hos septuaginta annos numquid ieiunium ieiunastis mihi

Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yes, behold, these seventy years) have you at all fasted to me?

6 et cum comedistis et cum bibistis numquid non vobis comedistis et vobismet ipsis bibistis

And if you eat or drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves?

7 numquid non sunt verba quae locutus est Dominus in manu prophetarum priorum cum adhuc Hierusalem habitaretur et esset opulenta ipsa et urbes in circuitu eius et ad austrum et in campestribus habitaretur

Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited?

8 et factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam dicens

And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,

9 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens iudicium verum iudicate et misericordiam et miserationes facite unusquisque cum fratre suo

Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgement, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother:

10 et viduam et pupillum et advenam et pauperem nolite calumniari et malum vir fratri suo non cogitet in corde suo

and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.

11 et noluerunt adtendere et verterunt scapulam recedentem et aures suas adgravaverunt ne audirent

But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.

12 et cor suum posuerunt adamantem ne audirent legem et verba quae misit Dominus exercituum in spiritu suo per manum prophetarum priorum et facta est indignatio magna a Domino exercituum

And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to listen to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.

13 et factum est sicut locutus est et non audierunt sic clamabunt et non exaudiam dicit Dominus exercituum

And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they listened not, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty.

14 et dispersi eos per omnia regna quae nesciunt et terra desolata est ab eis eo quod non esset transiens et revertens et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum

And I will cast them out amongst all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yes they have made the choice land a desolation.
