Zachariæ 2

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.	1 Then, raising my eyes, I had a vision. It was this: There were four horns.
2 Et dixi : Quo tu vadis ? Et dixit ad me : Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.	2 I said to the angel who was talking to me, 'What are these?' He said to me, 'These are the horns whichscattered Judah (Israel) and Jerusalem.'
3 Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus :	3 Yahweh then showed me four smiths.
4 et dixit ad eum : Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens : Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.	4 And I said, 'What are these coming to do?' He said to me, '(Those horns scattered Judah so completelythat no one dared to raise his head; but) these have come to terrify them, to throw down the horns of the nationswho raised their horns over the land of Judah to scatter it.'
5 Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.	5 Then, raising my eyes, I had a vision. There was a man with a measuring line in his hand.
6 O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.	6 I asked him, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'To measure Jerusalem, to calculate her width and length.'
7 O Sion ! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis :	7 And then, while the angel who was talking to me walked away, another angel came out to meet him.
8 quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Post gloriam misit me ad gentes quæ spoliaverunt vos : qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei :	8 He said to him, 'Run, and tell that young man this, "Jerusalem is to remain unwal ed, because of the great number of men and cattle inside.
9 quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his qui serviebant sibi : et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.	9 For I -- Yahweh declares -- shal be a wall of fire al round her and I shal be the Glory within her." '
10 Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.	10 Look out! Look out! Flee from the land of the north -- Yahweh declares- for I have scattered you to thefour winds of heaven -- Yahweh declares.
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.	11 Look out! Make your escape, Zion, now living with the daughter of Babylon!
12 Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.	12 For Yahweh Sabaoth says this, since the Glory commissioned me, about the nations who plunderedyou, 'Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
13 Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.	13 Now look, I shal wave my hand over them and they wil be plundered by those whom they haveenslaved.' Then you wil know that Yahweh Sabaoth has sent me!
	14 Sing, rejoice, daughter of Zion, for now I am coming to live among you -Yahweh declares!
	15 And on that day many nations will be converted to Yahweh. Yes, they wil become his people, and theywil live among you. Then you wil know that Yahweh Sabaoth has sent me to you!
	16 Yahweh wil take possession of Judah, his portion in the Holy Land, and again make Jerusalem hischoice.
	17 Let al people be silent before Yahweh, now that he is stirring from his holy Dwel ing!
