1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu; 2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, 3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month , even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves , and drink for yourselves ? 7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. 11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: 14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
1 et factum est in anno quarto Darii regis
factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam
in quarta mensis noni qui est casleu
2 et miserunt ad domum Dei Sarasar et Rogomelech
et viri qui erant cum eo
ad deprecandam faciem Domini
3 ut dicerent sacerdotibus domus Domini exercituum et prophetis loquentes
numquid flendum mihi est in mense quinto
vel sanctificare me debeo sicuti feci iam multis
annis
4 et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens
5 loquere ad omnem populum terrae et ad sacerdotes dicens
cum ieiunaretis et plangeretis in quinto et septimo
per hos septuaginta annos
numquid ieiunium ieiunastis mihi
6 et cum comedistis
et cum bibistis
numquid non vobis comedistis
et vobismet ipsis bibistis
7 numquid non sunt verba quae locutus est Dominus
in manu prophetarum priorum
cum adhuc Hierusalem habitaretur
et esset opulenta ipsa et urbes in circuitu eius
et ad austrum et in campestribus habitaretur
8 et factum est verbum Domini ad Zacchariam dicens
9 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens
iudicium verum iudicate
et misericordiam et miserationes facite unusquisque cum fratre suo
10 et viduam et pupillum et advenam et pauperem nolite calumniari
et malum vir fratri suo non cogitet in corde suo
11 et noluerunt adtendere
et verterunt scapulam recedentem
et aures suas adgravaverunt ne audirent
12 et cor suum posuerunt adamantem ne audirent legem
et verba quae misit Dominus exercituum in spiritu suo
per manum prophetarum priorum
et facta est indignatio magna a Domino exercituum
13 et factum est sicut locutus est et non audierunt
sic clamabunt et non exaudiam dicit Dominus exercituum
14 et dispersi eos per omnia regna quae nesciunt
et terra desolata est ab eis eo quod non esset transiens et revertens
et posuerunt terram desiderabilem in desertum
