Zaccharias Propheta 2

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

I lift vp mine eyes againe 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 Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.

Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may 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 ejus:

And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,

4 et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.

And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.

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

For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.

6 O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.

7 O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.

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

For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

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

For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.

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

Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.

11 Et applicabuntur gentes multæ 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 ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.

12 Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.

And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.

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

Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
