Zaccaria 1

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In mense octavo, in anno se cundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini adZachariam filium Barachiae filii Addo prophetam dicens:	1 In the second year of Darius, in the eighth month, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo:
2 “ Iratus est Dominussuper patres vestros iracundia.	2 The LORD was indeed angry with your fathers. . .
3 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominusexercituum: Convertimini ad me, ait Dominus exercituum; et convertar ad vos,dicit Dominus exercituum.	3 and say to them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Ne sitis sicut patres vestri, ad quos clamabantprophetae priores dicentes: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Convertimini de viisvestris malis et de cogitationibus vestris malis; et non audierunt nequeattenderunt ad me, dicit Dominus.	4 Be not like your fathers whom the former prophets warned: Thus says the LORD of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked deeds. But they would not listen or pay attention to me, says the LORD.
5 Patres vestri ubi sunt? Et prophetae numquidin sempiternum vivent?	5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, can they live forever?
6 Verumtamen verba mea et praecepta mea, quae mandaviservis meis prophetis, numquid non attigerunt patres vestros? Et conversi suntet dixerunt: “Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis, secundum viasnostras et secundum adinventiones nostras fecit nobis” ”.	6 But my words and my decrees, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, did not these overtake your fathers? Then they repented and admitted: "The LORD of hosts has treated us according to our ways and deeds, just as he had determined he would."
7 In die vicesima et quarta undecimi mensis, qui est mensis Sabath, in annosecundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiae filii Addoprophetam dicens:	7 In the second year of Darius, on the twenty-fourth day of Shebat, the eleventh month, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, in the following way:
8 “ Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir sedens super equum rufum etipse stabat inter myrteta, quae erant in profundo; et post eum equi rufi, fulviet albi.	8 I had a vision during the night. There appeared the driver of a red horse, standing among myrtle trees in a shady place, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
9 Et dixi: “Quid sunt isti, domine mi?”. Et dixit ad me angelus,qui loquebatur in me: “Ego ostendam tibi quid sint isti”.	9 Then I asked, "What are these, my lord?"; and the angel who spoke with me answered me, "I will show you what these are."
10 Et responditvir, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixit: “Isti sunt quos misit Dominus, utperambularent terram”.	10 The man who was standing among the myrtle trees spoke up and said, "These are they whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."
11 Et responderunt angelo Domini, qui stabat intermyrteta, et dixerunt: “Perambulavimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitatur etquiescit”.	11 And they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, "We have patrolled the earth; see, the whole earth is tranquil and at rest!"
12 Et respondit angelus Domini et dixit: “Domine exercituum, usquequo tu nonmisereberis Ierusalem et urbium Iudae, quibus iratus es? Iste septuagesimusannus est!”.	12 Then the angel of the Lord spoke out and said, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you be without mercy for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that have felt your anger these seventy years?"
13 Et respondit Dominus angelo, qui loquebatur in me verba bona,verba consolatoria.	13 To the angel who spoke with me, the LORD replied with comforting words.
14 Et dixit ad me angelus, qui loquebatur in me: “Clamadicens: Haec dixit Dominus exercituum: Zelatus sum Ierusalem et Sion zelo magno,	14 And the angel who spoke with me said to me, Proclaim: Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am deeply moved for the sake of Jerusalem and Zion,
15 sed ira magna ego irascor super gentes opulentas, quia ego iratus sum parum,ipsi vero adiuverunt in malum.	15 and I am exceedingly angry with the complacent nations; whereas I was but a little angry, they added to the harm.
16 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Revertar adIerusalem in misericordiis. Domus mea aedificabitur in ea, ait Dominusexercituum, et perpendiculum extendetur super Ierusalem.	16 Therefore, says the LORD: I will turn to Jerusalem in mercy; my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and a measuring line shall be stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Adhuc clama dicens:Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc affluent civitates meae bonis, etconsolabitur adhuc Dominus Sion et eliget adhuc Ierusalem”.	17 Proclaim further: Thus says the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion, and again choose Jerusalem.
