2:1 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce quatuor cornua.

2:1 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four horns.

2:2 Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me : Quid sunt hæc ? Et dixit ad me : Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam, et Israël, et Jerusalem.

2:2 And I said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these? And he said to me: These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.

2:3 Et ostendit mihi Dominus quatuor fabros.

2:3 And the Lord shewed me four smiths.

2:4 Et dixi : Quid isti veniunt facere ? Qui ait, dicens : Hæc sunt cornua quæ ventilaverunt Judam per singulos viros, et nemo eorum levavit caput suum : et venerunt isti deterrere ea, ut dejiciant cornua gentium, quæ levaverunt cornu super terram Juda ut dispergerent eam.

2:4 And I said: What come these to do? and he spoke, saying: These are the horns which have scattered Juda every man apart, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, that have lifted up the horn upon the land of Juda to scatter it.

2:5 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funiculus mensorum.

2:5 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.

2:6 Et dixi : Quo tu vadis ? Et dixit ad me : Ut metiar Jerusalem, et videam quanta sit latitudo ejus, et quanta longitudo ejus.

2:6 And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.

2:7 Et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur, et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum ejus :

2:7 And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him.

2:8 et dixit ad eum : Curre, loquere ad puerum istum, dicens : Absque muro habitabitur Jerusalem, præ multitudine hominum et jumentorum in medio ejus.

2:8 And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.

2:9 Et ego ero ei, ait Dominus, murus ignis in circuitu, et in gloria ero in medio ejus.

2:9 And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.

2:10 O, o, fugite de terra aquilonis, dicit Dominus, quoniam in quatuor ventos cæli dispersi vos, dicit Dominus.

2:10 O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord.

2:11 O Sion ! fuge, quæ habitas apud filiam Babylonis :

2:11 O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:

2:12 quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Post gloriam misit me ad gentes quæ spoliaverunt vos : qui enim tetigerit vos, tangit pupillam oculi mei :

2:12 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:

2:13 quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos, et erunt prædæ his qui serviebant sibi : et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me.

2:13 For behold, I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.

2:14 Lauda et lætare, filia Sion, quia ecce ego venio, et habitabo in medio tui, ait Dominus.

2:14 Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord.

2:15 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.

2:15 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to thee.

2:16 Et possidebit Dominus Judam partem suam in terra sanctificata, et eliget adhuc Jerusalem.

2:16 And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.

2:17 Sileat omnis caro a facie Domini, quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo.

2:17 Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
