Zaccharias Propheta 2

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

I lifted up my eyes again, 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 Ierusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo eius, et quanta longitudo eius.

Then said I, Where goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth, and what is its length.

3 Et ecce angelus, qui loquebatur in me, egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius.

And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

4 Et dixit ad eum: Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens: Absque muro habitabitur Ierusalem præ multitudine hominum, et iumentorum in medio eius.

And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it:

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

For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 O, o fugite de terra Aquilonis, dicit Dominus: quoniam in quattuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

7 O Sion, fuge quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis:

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

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 hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted 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, behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

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

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst 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 joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee.

12 Et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata: et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

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

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
