10 — Zaccaria

1Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.Domandate al Signore la pioggia serotina, e il Signore manderà la neve, e darà a voi nuove piogge, e a ciascuno di voi erba ne' campi;ASKE of our Lord rayne in the lateward time, and our Lord wil make snowes, and wil geue them rayne of showers, to euerie one grasse in the filde.Petite a Domino pluviam in tempore serotino, / et Dominus faciet nives: / et pluviam imbris dabit eis, / singulis herbam in agro. 2For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a flock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.Imperocché i simolacri hanno date risposte vane, e gl'indovini hanno visioni bugiarde, e gl'interpreti de' sogni parlano senza fondamento, e danno consolazioni vane: per queste cose quelli furon menati via come pecore, perchè erano senza pastore.Because the idols spake that which was vnprofitable, and the deuiners saw a lie, & the dreamers spake in vayne: they comforted vaynely: therfore are they led away as a flock: they shal be afflicted, because they haue no pastour.Quia simulacra locuta sunt inutile, / et divini viderunt mendacium: / et somniatores locuti sunt frustra, / vane consolabantur: / idcirco abducti sunt quasi grex: / affligentur, quia non est eis pastor. 3My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle.Contro i pastori si è acceso il mio furore, e visiterò i caproni; perocché il Signore degli eserciti avrà cura del suo gregge, della casa di Giuda; e ne farà come il suo cavallo di rispetto nel la guerra.Vpon the pastours my furie is wrath, and vpon the buckgoates I wil visite: because the Lord of hosts hath visited his flocke, the house of Iuda, and hath made them as the horse of his glorie in the battel,Super pastores iratus est furor meus, / et super hircos visitabo: / quia visitavit Dominus exercituum gregem suum, domum Juda, / et posuit eos quasi equum gloriæ suæ in bello. 4Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him ever exacter together.Da lui l'angolo, da lui il chiodo, da lui l'arco guerriero, da lui parimente usciranno gli esattori.Of him the corner, of him the pinne, of him the bow of battel, of him shal come forth euerie exactour together.Ex ipso angelus, ex ipso paxillas, / ex ipso arcus prælii, / ex ipso egredietur omnis exactor simul.

5And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded.E saranno i campioni, che calpesteranno in battaglia (il nimico) come il fango delle piazze, e combatteranno, avendo seco il Signore, e i domatori de' cavalli saranno svergognati.And they shal be as valients, treading the myre of the wayes in battel: and they shal fight, because our Lord is with them: and the riders of horses shal be confounded.Et erunt quasi fortes conculcantes lutum viarum in prælio, / et bellabunt, quia Dominus cum eis: / et confundentur ascensores equorum. 6And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had not cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.Ed io farò forte la casa di Giuda, e salverò la casa di Giuseppe; e farolli tornare, perchè avrò pietà di essi; e saranno com' erano prima che io li rigettassi: conciossiachè io sono il Signore Dio loro, e gli esaudirò.And I wil strengthen the house of Iuda, and the house of Ioseph I wil saue: and I wil conuert them, because I wil haue mercie on them: and they shal be as they were when I had not cast them of, for I am the Lord their God, and wil heare them.Et confortabo domum Juda, / et domum Joseph salvabo: / et convertam eos, quia miserebor eorum: / et erunt sicut fuerunt quando non projeceram eos: / ego enim Dominus Deus eorum, et exaudiam eos. 7And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord.E saranno come gli eroi di Ephraim; e saranno ilari di cuore come chi bevve vino; e i loro figli in veggendoli faranno festa, e si allegrerà il cuor loro nel Signore.And they shal be as the valients of Ephraim, & their hart shal reioyce as it were of wine: and their children shal see, and shal reioyce, & their hart shal be ioyful in our Lord.Et erunt quasi fortes Ephraim, / et lætabitur cor eorum quasi a vino: / et filii eorum videbunt, et lætabuntur, / et exsultabit cor eorum in Domino. 8I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.Io li radunerò con un fischio, perchè io gli ho riscattati, e li moltiplicherò, come lo erano pell'avanti.I wil hisse to them, and wil gather them together, because I haue redemed them: and I wil multiplie them as they were multiplied before.Sibilabo eis, et congregabo illos, / quia redemi eos: / et multiplicabo eos sicut ante fuerant multiplicati.

9And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return.E li spargerò tralle genti, e anche ne' luoghi più rimoti si ricorderanno di me, e viveranno insieme co' loro figli, e faranno ritorno.And I wil saw them among peoples, and from a far they shal remember me: and they shal liue with their children, and shal returne.Et seminabo eos in populis, / et de longe recordabuntur mei: / et vivent cum filiis suis, et revertentur. 10And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and I will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them.E li ricondurrò dalla terra d'Egitto, e dall'Assiria li ragunerò, e li menerò nella terra di Galaad, e del Libano, e non si troverà luogo per essi:And I wil bring them backe out of the Land of Aegypt, and out of the Assyrians I wil gather them: and to the Land of Galaad, & Libanus I wil bring them, and there shal not be found place for them.Et reducam eos de terra Ægypti, / et de Assyriis congregabo eos, / et ad terram Galaad et Libani adducam eos, / et non invenietur eis locus: 11And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.E passeranno lo stretto del mare, e percuoterà il Signore i flutti del mare, e tutti i fiumi profondi saranno abbassati, e sarà umiliata la superbia di Assur, e la tirannide d'Egitto passerà.And he shal passe ouer in the strayte of the sea, and shal strike the waues in the sea, and al the depths of the riuer shal be confounded, and the pride of Assur shal be humbled, and the scepter of Aegypt shal depart.et transibit in maris freto, / et percutiet in mari fluctus, / et confundentur omnia profunda fluminis: / et humiliabitur superbia Assur, / et sceptrum Ægypti recedet. 12I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord.E forti li farò nel Signore, e nel nome mio anderanno avanti, dice il Signore.I wil strengthen them in the Lord, and in his name they shal walke: sayth our Lord.Confortabo eos in Domino, / et in nomine ejus ambulabunt, dicit Dominus.
