Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.
2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus:
4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.
5 For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.
O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
O Sion! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:
8 For Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Post gloriam misit me ad gentes quæ spoliaverunt vos: qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei:
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.
quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his qui serviebant sibi: et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says Yahweh.
Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
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.
12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.
