1. In mense octavo, in anno se cundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiae filii Addo prophetam dicens:

1. In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechari'ah the son of Berechi'ah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

2. “Iratus est Dominus super patres vestros iracundia.

2. "The LORD was very angry with your fathers.

3. Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Convertimini ad me, ait Dominus exercituum; et convertar ad vos, dicit Dominus exercituum.

3. Therefore say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.

4. Ne sitis sicut patres vestri, ad quos clamabant prophetae priores dicentes: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Convertimini de viis vestris malis et de cogitationibus vestris malis; et non audierunt neque attenderunt ad me, dicit Dominus.

4. Be not like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, `Thus says the LORD of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.' But they did not hear or heed me, says the LORD.

5. Patres vestri ubi sunt? Et prophetae numquid in sempiternum vivent?

5. Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live for ever?

6. Verumtamen verba mea et praecepta mea, quae mandavi servis meis prophetis, numquid non attigerunt patres vestros? Et conversi sunt et dixerunt: “Sicut cogitavit Dominus exercituum facere nobis, secundum vias nostras et secundum adinventiones nostras fecit nobis””.

6. But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, As the LORD of hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so has he dealt with us."

7. In die vicesima et quarta undecimi mensis, qui est mensis Sabath, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Zachariam filium Barachiae filii Addo prophetam dicens:

7. On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechari'ah the son of Berechi'ah, son of Iddo, the prophet; and Zechari'ah said,

8. “Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir sedens super equum rufum et ipse stabat inter myrteta, quae erant in profundo; et post eum equi rufi, fulvi et albi.

8. "I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen; and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.

9. Et dixi: “Quid sunt isti, domine mi?”. Et dixit ad me angelus, qui loquebatur in me: “Ego ostendam tibi quid sint isti”.

9. Then I said, `What are these, my lord?' The angel who talked with me said to me, `I will show you what they are.'

10. Et respondit vir, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixit: “Isti sunt quos misit Dominus, ut perambularent terram”.

10. So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, `These are they whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.'

11. Et responderunt angelo Domini, qui stabat inter myrteta, et dixerunt: “Perambulavimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitatur et quiescit”.

11. And they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, `We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth remains at rest.'

12. Et respondit angelus Domini et dixit: “Domine exercituum, usquequo tu non misereberis Ierusalem et urbium Iudae, quibus iratus es? Iste septuagesimus annus est!”.

12. Then the angel of the LORD said, `O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou have no mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?'

13. Et respondit Dominus angelo, qui loquebatur in me verba bona, verba consolatoria.

13. And the LORD answered gracious and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.

14. Et dixit ad me angelus, qui loquebatur in me: “Clama dicens: Haec dixit Dominus exercituum: Zelatus sum Ierusalem et Sion zelo magno,

14. So the angel who talked with me said to me, `Cry out, Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion.

15. sed ira magna ego irascor super gentes opulentas, quia ego iratus sum parum, ipsi vero adiuverunt in malum.

15. And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was angry but a little they furthered the disaster.

16. Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Revertar ad Ierusalem in misericordiis. Domus mea aedificabitur in ea, ait Dominus exercituum, et perpendiculum extendetur super Ierusalem.

16. Therefore, thus says the LORD, I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion; my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.

17. Adhuc clama dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc affluent civitates meae bonis, et consolabitur adhuc Dominus Sion et eliget adhuc Ierusalem”.

17. Cry again, Thus says the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.'"

18.

18. And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns!

19.

19. And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" And he answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."

20.

20. Then the LORD showed me four smiths.

21.

21. And I said, "What are these coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head; and these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it."
