7 — Zaccaria

1And 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.L'anno quarto del re Dario il Signore parlò a Zaccaria ai quattro del mese nono, cioè di Casleu.AND it came to passe in the fourth yeare of Darius the king, the word of our Lord was made to Zacharie, in the fourth of the ninth moneth, which is Casleu.Et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam, in quarta mensis noni, qui est Casleu. 2When Sarasar, and Rogommelech, and the men that were with him, sent to the house of God, to entreat the face of the Lord:Quando Sarasar, e Rogommelech, e la gente, che erano con lui, mandarono alla casa di Dio a fare orazione dinanzi al Signore:And Sarasar, and Rogommelech, and the men that were with him, sent to the house of God, to besech the face of our Lord: that theyEt miserunt ad domum Dei Sarasar et Rogommelech, et viri qui erant cum eo, ad deprecandam faciem Domini: 3To 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?E ad interrogare i sacerdoti della casa del Signore degli eserciti, e i profeti, e dir loro: Debbo io piangere il quinto mese, o debbo io purificarmi, come ho fatto già per molti anni?should say to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weepe in the fifth moneth, or must I san ctifie myself as now I haue done manie yeares?ut dicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum, et prophetis, loquentes: Numquid flendum est mihi in quinto mense, vel sanctificare me debeo, sicut jam feci multis annis ? 4And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:E il Signore degli eserciti parlò a me, e disse:And the word of the Lord of hosts was made to me, saying:Et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me, dicens: 5Speak 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?Parla a tutto il popolo del paese, e ai sacerdoti, e dirai loro: Quando voi digiunaste, e faceste lutto il quinto, e il settimo mese in questi settant'anni, digiunaste voi forse per me?Speake to al the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: when you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seuenth for these seuentie yeares: did you fast a fast vnto me?Loquere ad omnem populum terræ, et ad sacerdotes, dicens: Cum jejunaretis, et plangeretis in quinto et septimo per hos septuaginta annos, numquid jejunium jejunastis mihi ?

6And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?E quando avete mangiato, e bevuto, non avete mangiato forse per voi stessi, e bevuto per voi?and when you did eate and drinke, did you not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?et cum comedistis et bibistis, numquid non vobis comedistis et vobismetipsis bibistis ? 7Are 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?Non son elleno queste le cose dette dal Signore per mezzo de' profeti, che precedettero, quando Gerusalemme era abitata tuttora, ed era piena di ricchezze ella, e le vicine città, e la parte del mezzodì, e le pianure erano abitate?Why, are they not the wordes, which our Lord spake in the hand of the former prophets, when Ierusalem as yet was inhabited, and was welthie, it self and the cities round about it, and toward the South, and in the champine there was dwelling?numquid non sunt verba quæ locutus est Dominus in manu prophetarum priorum, cum adhuc Jerusalem habitaretur ut esset opulenta, ipsa et urbes in circuitu ejus, et ad austrum, et in campestribus habitaretur ? 8And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying:E il Signore parlò a Zaccaria, e disse:And the word of our Lord was made to Zacharie, saying:Et factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam, dicens: 9Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge ye true judgment, and shew ye mercy and compassion every man to his brother.Queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti: Giudicate secondo la verità, e fate ciascun di voi frequenti opere di misericordia co' suoi prossimi.Thus sayth the Lord of hosts, saying: Iudge ye true Iudgement, and doe ye mercie, & miserations euerie man with his brother.Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Judicium verum judicate, et misericordiam et miserationes facite, unusquisque cum fratre suo. 10And 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.E guardatevi dall'opprimer la vedova, e il pupillo, e il forestiero, e il povero, e nissuno macchini in cuor suo contro il proprio fratello.And the widow, and the pupil, and the stranger, and the poore doe not calumniate: and let not a man thinke in his hart euil to his brother.Et viduam, et pupillum, et advenam, et pauperem nolite calumniari: et malum vir fratri suo non cogitet in corde suo. 11But they would not hearken, and they turned away the shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to hear.Ma eglino non vollero dar retta, e ribelli voltarono le spalle, e ingrossaron l'udito per non intendere.And they would not attend, and they turned away the shoulder departing: and they aggrauated their eares; not to heare.Et noluerunt attendere, et averterunt scapulam recedentem, et aures suas aggravaverunt ne audirent.

12And 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.E si fecero un cuor di diamante per non ascoltare la legge, né le parole messe dal Signore degli eserciti, per mezzo del suo spirito, in bocca ai profeti, che precedettero. E ne venne ira grande dal Signore degli eserciti.And they made their hart as the adamant, lest they should heare the law, & the wordes which the Lord sent in his spirit by the hand of the former prophetes: and there was great indignation made from the Lord of hosts.Et cor suum posuerunt ut adamantem, ne audirent legem, et verba quæ misit Dominus exercituum in spiritu suo per manum prophetarum priorum: et facta est indignatio magna a Domino exercituum. 13And 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.E ne avvenne quello, che egli avea predetto, senza che essi dessero retta. Così eglino alzeranno le strida, ed io non gli esaudirò, dice il Signore degli eserciti.And it came to passe as he spake, and they heard not: so shal they crie, & I wil not heare, sayth the Lord of hosts.Et factum est sicut locutus est, et non audierunt: sic clamabunt et non exaudiam, dicit Dominus exercituum. 14And 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.Ed io li dispersi per tutti i reami ignoti ad essi, e la loro terra restò in desolazione, non essendovi chi andasse, e venisse: così una terra di delizie cambiarono in un deserto.And I dispersed them through out al kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate of them, for that there was none passing & returning: and the land to be desired they layd into a desert.Et dispersi eos per omnia regna quæ nesciunt: et terra desolata est ab eis, eo quod non esset transiens et revertens: et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum.
