Prophetia Zachariae

Zachariae, chapter 12, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 12 Vulgate

   1 Oraculum. Verbum Domini super Israel et super Iudam. Oraculum Domini, qui extendit caelum et fundat terram et fingit spiritum hominis in eo:
   2 "Ecce ego pono Ierusalem pateram crapulae omnibus populis in circuitu. Hoc erit in obsidione contra Ierusalem.
   3 Et erit: in die illa ponam Ierusalem lapidem portandum cunctis populis; omnes portantes eam concisione lacerabuntur, et colligentur adversus eam omnes gentes terrae.
   4 In die illa, dicit Dominus, percutiam omnem equum in stuporem et ascensorem eius in amentiam; et super domum Iudae aperiam oculos meos et omnem equum populorum percutiam caecitate.
   5 Et dicent duces Iudae in corde suo: "Robur habitantium Ierusalem est in Domino exercituum, Deo eorum".
   6 In die illa ponam duces Iudae sicut ollam ignis super ligna et sicut facem ignis super fenum; et devorabunt ad dexteram et ad sinistram omnes populos in circuitu, et habitabitur Ierusalem rursus in loco suo.
   7 Et salvabit Dominus prius tabernacula Iudae, ut non elevetur gloria domus David et gloria habitantium Ierusalem contra Iudam.
   8 In die illa proteget Dominus habitatores Ierusalem; et erit, qui offenderit ex eis in die illa quasi David, et domus David quasi Deus, sicut angelus Domini in conspectu eorum.
   9 Et erit: in die illa quaeram conterere omnes gentes, quae veniunt contra Ierusalem,
   10 et effundam super domum David et super habitatores Ierusalem spiritum gratiae et precum; et aspicient ad me. Quem confixerunt, plangent quasi planctu super unigenitum et dolebunt super eum, ut doleri solet super primogenitum.
   11 In die illa magnus erit planctus in Ierusalem sicut planctus Adadremmon in campo Mageddo;
   12 et planget terra, singulae familiae seorsum: familia domus David seorsum et mulieres eorum seorsum; familia domus Nathan seorsum et mulieres eorum seorsum;
   13 familia domus Levi seorsum et mulieres eorum seorsum; familia Semei seorsum et mulieres eorum seorsum;
   14 omnes reliquae familiae, singulae familiae seorsum et mulieres eorum seorsum.

King James Version

   1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
   2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
   3 ¶ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
   4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
   5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
   6 ¶ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
   7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
   8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
   9 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
   10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
   11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
   12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
   13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
   14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
