Zaccaria 2

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et levavi oculos meos et vidi, et ecce quattuor cornua;	1 I raised my eyes and looked; there were four horns.
2 et dixi adangelum, qui loquebatur in me: “Quid sunt haec?”. Et dixit ad me: “Haecsunt cornua, quae ventilaverunt Iudam et Israel et Ierusalem”.	2 Then I asked the angel who spoke with me what these were. He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah and Israeland Jerusalem."
3 Et ostenditmihi Dominus quattuor fabros;	3 Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths. And I asked, "What are these coming to do?"
4 et dixi: “Quid isti veniunt facere?”. Quirespondit dicens: “Haec sunt cornua, quae ventilaverunt Iudam per singulosviros, ut nemo eorum levaret caput suum; et venerunt isti deterrere ea, utdeiciant cornua gentium, quae levaverunt cornu super terram Iudae, utdispergerent eam”.	4 And he said, "Here are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head any more; but these have come to terrify them: to cast down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."
5 Et levavi oculos meos et vidi; et ecce vir, et in manu eius funiculusmensorum.	5 Again I raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.
6 Et dixi: “Quo tu vadis?”. Et dixit ad me: “Ut metiar Ierusalemet videam, quanta sit latitudo eius et quanta longitudo eius”.	6 "Where are you going?" I asked. "To measure Jerusalem," he answered; "to see how great is its width and how great its length."
7 Et ecce angelus, qui loquebatur in me, egrediebatur, et angelus aliusegrediebatur in occursum eius;	7 Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him,
8 et dixit ad eum: “Curre, loquere ad puerumistum dicens: Absque muris habitabitur Ierusalem prae multitudine hominum etiumentorum in medio eius.	8 and said to him, "Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst.
9 Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuituet in gloria ero in medio eius.	9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst."
10 Heu, heu! Fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quattuorventos caeli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.	10 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I scatter you to the four winds of heaven, says the LORD.
11 Heu, Sion, fuge, quae habitas apudfiliam Babylonis!	11 Up, escape to Zion! you who dwell in daughter Babylon.
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, cuius gloria misit mead gentes, quae spoliaverunt vos: Qui tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei.	12 For thus said the LORD of hosts (after he had already sent me) concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
13 Quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt praeda servorum suorum; etcognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.	13 See, I wave my hand over them; they become plunder for their slaves. Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
14 Iubila et laetare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.	14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.
15 Et applicabuntur gentes multae ad Dominum in die illa et erunt ei in populum. Et habitabo in medio tui, et scies quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad te.	15 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
16 Et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam super terram sanctam et eliget adhuc Ierusalem.	16 The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.
17 Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo”.	17 Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his holy dwelling.
