Zechariah 12
1 A revelation of the LORD’s word concerning Israel: The LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
Onus verbi Domini super Israel. Dicit Dominus extendens caelum, et fundans terram, et fingens spiritum hominis in eo:
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
Ecce ego ponam Ierusalem superliminare crapulae omnibus populis in circuitu: sed et Iuda erit in obsidione contra Ierusalem.
3 It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
Et erit: In die illa ponam Ierusalem lapidem oneris cunctis populis: omnes, qui levabunt eum, concisione lacerabuntur: et colligentur adversus eam omnia regna terrae.
4 In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
In die illa, dicit Dominus, percutiam omnem equum in stuporem, et ascensorem eius in amentiam: et super domum Iuda aperiam oculos meos, et omnem equum populorum percutiam caecitate.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Hosts their God.’
Et dicent duces Iuda in corde suo: Confortentur mihi habitatores Ierusalem in Domino exercituum Deo eorum.
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire amongst wood, and like a flaming torch amongst sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
In die illa ponam duces Iuda sicut caminum ignis in lignis, et sicut faciem ignis in foeno: et devorabunt ad dexteram, et ad sinistram omnes populos in circuitu: et habitabitur Ierusalem rursus in loco suo in Ierusalem.
7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
Et salvabit Dominus tabernacula Iuda, sicut in principio: ut non magnifice glorietur domus David, et gloria habitantium Ierusalem contra Iuda.
8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble amongst them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.
In die illa proteget Dominus habitatores Ierusalem, et erit qui offenderit ex eis in die illa, quasi David: et domus David quasi Dei, sicut angelus Domini in conspectu eorum.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Et erit in die illa: quaeram conterere omnes Gentes, quae veniunt contra Ierusalem.
10 I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.
Et effundam super domum David, et super habitatores Ierusalem spiritum gratiae, et precum: et aspicient ad me, quem confixerunt: et plangent eum planctu quasi super unigenitum, et dolebunt super eum, ut doleri solet in morte primogeniti.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
In die illa magnus erit planctus in Ierusalem, sicut planctus Adadremmon in campo Mageddon.
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Et planget terra: familiae et familiae seorsum: familiae domus David seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum:
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
familiae domus Nathan seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum: familiae domus Levi seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum: familiae Semei seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum.
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Omnes familiae reliquae, familiae et familiae seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum.
