JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 La deuxième année de Darius, au huitième mois, la parole de Yahvé fut adressée au prophète Zacharie, (filsde Bérékya), fils de Iddo, en ces termes:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying:
2 Yahvé s'est grandement irrité contre vos pères.2 The Lord hath been exceeding angry with your fathers.
3 Tu leur diras: ainsi parle Yahvé Sabaot. Revenez à moi - oracle de Yahvé Sabaot - et je reviendraivers vous, dit Yahvé Sabaot.3 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Turn ye to me, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will turn to you, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Ne soyez pas comme vos pères à qui les prophètes du passé lancèrent cet appel: Ainsi parle YahvéSabaot. Revenez donc de vos voies mauvaises et de vos actions mauvaises. Mais eux n'écoutèrent pas et ne meprêtèrent pas attention - oracle de Yahvé.4 Be not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Turn ye from your evil ways, and from your wicked thoughts: but they did not give ear, neither did they hearken to me, saith the Lord.
5 Vos pères, où sont-ils? Et les prophètes, sont-ils toujours en vie?5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, shall they live always?
6 Mais mes ordres et mes décrets, ceux que j'avais donnés à mes serviteurs les prophètes, n'ont-ilspas atteint vos pères? Alors ils se sont convertis et ont dit: "Yahvé Sabaot nous a traités comme il avait résolu dele faire, selon nos voies et nos actions."6 But yet my words, and my ordinances, which I gave in charge to my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers, and they returned, and said: As the Lord of hosts thought to do to us according to our ways, and according to our devices, so he hath done to us.
7 Le vingt-quatrième jour du onzième mois (le mois de Shebat), la deuxième année de Darius, laparole de Yahvé fut adressée au prophète Zacharie, (fils de Bérékya), fils de Iddo, en ces termes.7 In the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month which is called Sabath, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying:
8 J'eus une vision pendant la nuit. Voici: Un homme montant un cheval roux se tenait parmi lesmyrtes qui ont leurs racines dans la profondeur; derrière lui, des chevaux roux, alezans, et blancs.8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, that were in the bottom: and behind him were horses, red, speckled, and white.
9 Je dis: "Qui sont ceux-là, mon Seigneur?" Et l'ange qui me parlait me dit: "Je te ferai voir qui ilssont."9 And I said: What are these, my Lord ? and the angel that spoke in me, said to me: I will shew thee what these are:
10 L'homme qui se tenait parmi les myrtes répondit: "Ce sont ceux que Yahvé a envoyés parcourir laterre."10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered, and said: These are they, whom the Lord hath sent to walk through the earth.
11 Or ils s'adressèrent à l'ange de Yahvé qui se tenait parmi les myrtes, et ils dirent: "Nous venons deparcourir la terre, et voici que toute la terre est en repos et tranquillité."11 And they answered the angel of the Lord, that stood among the myrtle trees, and said: We have walked through the earth, and behold all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.
12 Alors l'ange de Yahvé prit la parole et dit: "Yahvé Sabaot, jusques à quand tarderas-tu à prendreen pitié Jérusalem et les villes de Juda auxquelles tu as fait sentir ta colère depuis 70 ans?"12 And the angel of the Lord answered, and said: O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem, and on the cities of Juda, with which thou hast been angry? this is now the seventieth year.
13 A l'ange qui me parlait, Yahvé répondit par des paroles de bonté, des paroles de consolation.13 And the Lord answered the angel, that spoke in me, good words, comfortable words.
14 Alors l'ange qui me parlait me dit: "Fais cette proclamation: Ainsi parle Yahvé Sabaot. J'éprouveun amour très jaloux pour Jérusalem et pour Sion,14 And the angel that spoke in me, said to me: Cry thou, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am zealous for Jerusalem, and Sion with a great zeal.
15 mais une très grande irritation contre les nations tranquilles; car moi, je n'étais que peu irrité, maiselles, elles ont concouru au mal.15 And I am angry with a great anger with the wealthy nations: for I was angry a little, but they helped forward the evil.
16 C'est pourquoi, ainsi parle Yahvé: Je me tourne de nouveau vers Jérusalem avec compassion; monTemple y sera rebâti - oracle de Yahvé Sabaot - et le cordeau sera tendu sur Jérusalem.16 Therefore thus saith the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem in mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts: and the building line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 Fais encore cette proclamation: Ainsi parle Yahvé Sabaot. Mes villes abonderont encore de biens.Yahvé consolera encore Sion, il fera encore choix de Jérusalem."17 Cry yet, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: My cities shall yet flow with good things : and the Lord will yet comfort Sion, and he will yet choose Jerusalem.
18 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four horns.
19 And I said to the angel that spoke to me: What are these? And he said to me: These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 And the Lord shewed me four smiths.
21 And I said: What come these to do? and he spoke, saying: These are the horns which have scattered Juda every man apart, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, that have lifted up the horn upon the land of Juda to scatter it.
