Zaccaria 7

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini adZachariam in quarta mensis noni, qui est Casleu.	1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, in the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Casleu.
2 Et Bethel miserat Sarasar etRegemmelech et viros, qui erant cum eo, ad deprecandam faciem Domini,	2 When Sarasar, and Rogommelech, and the men that were with him, sent to the house of God, to entreat the face of the Lord:
3 utdicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum et prophetis loquentes: “Numquid flendum est mihi in quinto mense vel ieiunandum, sicut iam feci multisannis? ”.	3 To speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weep in the fifth month, or must I sanctify myself as I have now done for many years?
4 Et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens:	4 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
5 “ Loquere ad omnempopulum terrae et ad sacerdotes dicens: Cum ieiunaretis et plangeretis in quintoet septimo mense per hos septuaginta annos, numquid revera ieiunastis mihi?	5 Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years: did you keep a fast unto me?
6 Etcum comedistis et bibistis, numquid non vobis comedistis et vobismetipsisbibistis?	6 And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Numquid non sunt verba, quae locutus est Dominus in manu prophetarumpriorum, cum adhuc Ierusalem habitaretur et esset opulenta, ipsa et urbes incircuitu eius, et Nageb habitaretur simul cum Sephela? ”.	7 Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem as yet was inhabited, and was wealthy, both itself and the cities round about it, and there were inhabitants towards the south, and in the plain?
8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam dicens:	8 And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying:
9 “ Haec ait Dominusexercituum dicens: Iudicium verum iudicate et misericordiam et miserationesfacite unusquisque cum fratre suo;	9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge ye true judgment, and shew ye mercy and compassion every man to his brother.
10 et viduam et pupillum et advenam etpauperem nolite calumniari, et malum unusquisque contra fratrem suum nolitecogitare in corde vestro.	10 And oppress not the widow, and the fatherless, and the stranger, and the poor: and let not a man devise evil in his heart against his brother.
11 Et noluerunt attendere; et opposuerunt dorsumrebelle et aures suas aggravaverunt, ne audirent.	11 But they would not hearken, and they turned away the shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to hear.
12 Et cor suum posueruntadamantem, ne audirent legem et verba, quae misit Dominus exercituum in spiritusuo per manum prophetarum priorum, et facta est indignatio magna a Dominoexercituum.	12 And they made their heart as the adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: so a great indignation came from the Lord of hosts.
13 Et factum est, sicut cum clamaret, et ipsi non audierunt, sicclamabunt, et non exaudiam, dicit Dominus exercituum.	13 And it came to pass that as he spoke, and they heard not: so shall they cry, and I will not hear, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Et disperdam eos peromnes gentes, quas nesciunt; et terra desolata est post eos, ita ut non essettransiens et revertens. Et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum ”.	14 And I dispersed them throughout all kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate behind them, so that no man passed through or returned: and they changed the delightful land into a wilderness.
