9 — Zaccaria

1The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord’s.Annunzio pesante del Signore per la terra di Hadrach, e di Damasco, sopra di cui quella si riposa: perocché l'occhio del Signore mira gli uomini, e tutte le tribù d'Israele.THE burden of the word of our Lord in the land of Hadrach, & Damascus his rest: because our Lord is the eye of man, and of al the tribes of Israel.Onus verbi Domini in terra Hadrach / et Damasci requiei ejus, / quia Domini est oculus hominis et omnium tribuum Israël. 2Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise.Anche Emath è dentro i termini dell'annunzio, e Tiro, e Sidone: perchè si arrogano gran saggezza.Emath also in the borders therof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they haue taken to themselues wisedom excedingly.Emath quoque in terminis ejus, et Tyrus, et Sidon: / assumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde. 3And Tyre hath built herself a strong hold, and heaped together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the streets.Tiro ha fabbricati i suoi baluardi, ed ha ammassato, argento come se fosse terra, e oro, come si fa del fango delle piazze.And Tyre hath built her munition, and heaped together siluer as earth, and gold as the myre of the streets.Et ædificavit Tyrus munitionem suam, / et coacervavit argentum quasi humum, / et aurum ut lutum platearum. 4Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.Ecco che il Signore se ne impadronirà, e sommergerà nel mare la sua possanza, ed ella sarà divorata dal fuoco.Behold our Lord shal possesse her, and shal strike her strength in the sea, and she shal be deuoured with fyre.Ecce Dominus possidebit eam: / et percutiet in mari fortitudinem ejus, / et hæc igni devorabitur. 5Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be very sorrowful: and Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.A tal vista Ascalon rimarrà sbigottita; e Gaza si addolorerà, ed anche Accaron, perché è svanita la sua speranza: e Gaza perderà il suo re, e Ascalon sarà disabitata.Ascalon shal see, and shal feare, and Gaza, and shal be sorie excedingly: & Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shal perish out of Gaza, & Ascalon shal not be inhabited.Videbit Ascalon, et timebit, / et Gaza, et dolebit nimis, / et Accaron, quoniam confusa est spes ejus: / et peribit rex de Gaza, / et Ascalon non habitabitur.

6And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.E Azoto sarà la sede dello straniero, e io abbatterò la superbia de' Filistei.And the seperatour shal sit in Azotus, and I wil destroy the pride of the Philisthims.Et sedebit separator in Azoto, / et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum. 7And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and even he shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.E torrò dalla bocca di essi il sangue, e le loro abbominazioni di sotto ai loro denti: ed eglino pure rimarranno soggetti al Dio nostro, e saranno come un capopopolo in Giuda, e Accaron sarà come 'l Jebuseo.And I wil take away his bloud out of his mouth, and his abominations out of the middes of his teeth: and he also shal be left to our God, and he shal be as a duke in Iuda, and Accaron as a Iebuseite.Et auferam sanguinem ejus de ore ejus, / et abominationes ejus de medio dentium ejus: / et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro, / et erit quasi dux in Juda, / et Accaron quasi Jebusæus. 8And I will encompass my house with them that serve me in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall no more pass through them: for now I have seen with my eyes.E a difesa della mia casa porrò coloro, che vanno, e vengono, militando in mio servigio, e l'esattore non comparirà più tra di loro: perocché io adesso li miro cogli occhi miei.And I wil enuiron my house of them, that serue me in warfayre going and returning, and the exactour shal no more passe ouer them: because now I haue sene with myne eyes.Et circumdabo domum meam / ex his qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes: / et non transibit super eos ultra exactor, / quia nunc vidi in oculis meis. 9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass.Esulta grandemente, o figliuola di Sion, giubila, o figliuola di Gerusalemme: Ecco che viene a te il tuo Re giusto, e Salvatore: egli è povero, e cavalca un'asina, e un asinelio.Reioyce greatly ô daughter of Sion, make iubilation ô daughter of Ierusalem: BEHOLD THY KING wil come to thee, the iust and sauiour: himself poore, and ryding vpon an asse, and vpon a colt the fole of an asse.Exsulta satis, filia Sion; / jubila, filia Jerusalem: / ecce rex tuus veniet tibi justus, et salvator: / ipse pauper, et ascendens super asinam / et super pullum filium asinæ.

10And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.Ed io torrò via i cocchi di Ephraim, e i cavalli di Gerusalemme, e gli archi guerrieri saranno spezzati; e quegli annunzierà la pace alle genti, e il suo dominio sarà di un mare all'altro, e dal fiume sino alla estremità della terra.And I wil destroy chariot out of Ephraim, and horse out of Ierusalem, and the bow of warre shal be dissipated: and he shal speake peace to the Gentils, and his power from sea euen to sea, and from the riuers euen to the end of the earth.Et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim, / et equum de Jerusalem, / et dissipabitur arcus belli: / et loquetur pacem gentibus, / et potestas ejus a mari usque ad mare, / et a fluminibus usque ad fines terræ. 11Thou also by the blood of thy testament hast sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water.E tu stesso mediante il sangue del tuo testamento hai fatti uscire i tuoi, che erano prigionieri, dalla fossa, che è senz'acqua.Thou also in the bloud of thy testament hast let forth thy prisoners out of the lake, wherin is no water.Tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui / emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu in quo non est aqua. 12Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, I will render thee double as I declare today.Movete il passo verso la città forte, o voi prigionieri, che avete speranza: oggi io ti annunzio, che darò a te beni grandi.Conuert to the munition ye prisoners of hope, to day also declaring I wil render thee duble.Convertimini ad munitionem, vincti spei: / hodie quoque annuntians duplicia reddam tibi. 13Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons, O Sion, above thy sons, O Greece, and I will make thee as the sword of the mighty.Perocché io ho fatto di Giuda come un arco teso per mio servigio, ed arco teso per me egli è Ephraim: e a' tuoi figliuoli, o Sionne, darò io valore sopra i tuoi figliuoli, o Grecia; e te renderò io come una spada d'uom valoroso.Because I haue bent Iuda for me as a bow, I haue filled Ephraim: and I wil rayse vp thy sonnes ô Sion vpon thy sonnes ô Greece, & I wil make thee as the sword of the strong.Quoniam extendi mihi Judam quasi arcum: / implevi Ephraim: / et suscitabo filios tuos, Sion, / super filios tuos, Græcia: / et ponam te quasi gladium fortium. 14And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south.E sopra di loro si vedrà il Signore Dio, che lancerà come folgori i suoi dardi: e il Signore Dio suonerà la tromba, e si muoverà co' turbini del mezzogiorno.And our Lord God shal be seene ouer them, and his dart shal goe forth as lightning: & our Lord God wil sound with trumpet, and wil goe in the whirle wind of the South.Et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur, / et exibit ut fulgur jaculum ejus: / et Dominus Deus in tuba canet, / et vadet in turbine austri.

15The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine, and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns of the altar.Il Signore degli eserciti sarà loro protettore: e divoreranno; e abbatteranno co' sassi della fionda e bevendo s'inebrieranno come per vino, e se ne empieranno come le coppe, e come corni dell'altare.The Lord of hosts wil protect them: and they shal deuoure, and subdew with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shal be drunke as it were of wine, & they shal be filled as phials, and as the hornes of the altar.Dominus exercituum proteget eos: / et devorabunt, et subjicient lapidibus fundæ: / et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi a vino, / et replebuntur ut phialæ, / et quasi cornua altaris. 16And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted up over his land.E il Signore Dio loro li salverà in quel giorno come gregge del popol suo, perché nella terra di lui sorgeranno come pietre sante.And our Lord their God wil saue them in that day, as the flocke of his people: because holie stones shal be eleuated ouer his land.Et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa, / ut gregem populi sui, / quia lapides sancti elevabuntur super terram ejus. 17For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing forth virgins?Ma che è il buono di lui, e il bello di lui, se non il frumento degli eletti, e il vino, che fa germogliare le vergini?For what is his good thing, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corne of the elect, and wine springing virgins?Quid enim bonum ejus est, / et quid pulchrum ejus, / nisi frumentum electorum, / et vinum germinans virgines ?
