Zechariah 2
1 Next I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir, et in manu eius funiculus mensorum.
2 I said, “Where are you going?” So he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to determine its width and length.”
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.
3 Then the angel who had talked with me went away and another angel went out to meet him.
Et ecce angelus, qui loquebatur in me, egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius.
4 The second angel said to him, “Run and speak to that young man; say, 'Jerusalem will sit in the open country because of the multitudes of men and beasts within her.
Et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Ierusalem prae multitudine hominum, et iumentorum in medio eius.
5 For I—this is Yahweh's declaration—will become for her a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu: et in gloria ero in medio eius.
6 Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration— for I have scattered you like the four winds of the skies!—This is Yahweh's declaration.
O, o fugite de terra Aquilonis, dicit Dominus: quoniam in quattuor ventos caeli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 Up! Escape to Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon!'”
O Sion, fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For after Yahweh of hosts honored me and sent me against the nations that plundered you— for whoever touches you, touches the apple of God's eye!—after Yahweh did this, he said,
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad gentes, quae spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:
9 “I myself will shake my hand over them, and they will be plunder for their slaves.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.
quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt praedae his, qui serviebant sibi: et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.
10 “Sing for joy, daughter of Zion, for I myself am about to come and encamp among you!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Lauda, et laetare filia Sion: quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 Then great nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day. He says, “Then you will become my people; for I will encamp in the midst of you,” and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
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.
12 For Yahweh will inherit Judah as his rightful possession in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem for himself.
Et possidebit Dominus Iuda partem suam in terra sanctificata: et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh, for he has been roused from out of his holy place!
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini: quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
