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.

1 Onus verbi Domini super Israël. Dicit Dominus extendens cælum, et fundans terram,
et fingens spiritum hominis in eo:

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.

2 Ecce ego ponam Jerusalem superliminare crapulæ
omnibus populis in circuitu:
sed et Juda erit in obsidione contra 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.

3 Et erit: in die illa ponam Jerusalem lapidem oneris cunctis populis:
omnes qui levabunt eam concisione lacerabuntur,
et colligentur adversus eam omnia regna terræ.

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.

4 In die illa, dicit Dominus,
percutiam omnem equum in stuporem,
et ascensorem ejus in amentiam:
et super domum Juda aperiam oculos meos,
et omnem equum populorum percutiam cæcitate.

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.

5 Et dicent duces Juda in corde suo:
Confortentur mihi habitatores Jerusalem
in Domino exercituum, Deo eorum!

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.

6 In die illa ponam duces Juda
sicut caminum ignis in lignis,
et sicut facem ignis in fœno:
et devorabunt ad dexteram et ad sinistram omnes populos in circuitu,
et habitabitur Jerusalem rursus in loco suo 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.

7 Et salvabit Dominus tabernacula Juda, sicut in principio,
ut non magnifice glorietur domus David,
et gloria habitantium Jerusalem contra Judam.

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.

8 In die illa proteget Dominus habitatores Jerusalem:
et erit qui offenderit ex eis in die illa quasi David,
et domus David quasi Dei,
sicut angelus Domini in conspectu eorum.

9 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

9 ¶ Et erit in die illa:
quæram conterere omnes gentes quæ veniunt contra 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.

10 Et effundam super domum David
et super habitatores Jerusalem
spiritum gratiæ et precum:
et aspicient ad me quem confixerunt,
et plangent eum planctu quasi super unigenitum,
et dolebunt super eum,
ut doleri solet in morte primogeniti.

11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

11 In die illa, magnus erit planctus in Jerusalem,
sicut planctus Adadremmon in campo Mageddon.

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;

12 Et planget terra: familiæ et familiæ seorsum:
familiæ domus David seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum:

13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

13 familiæ domus Nathan seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum:
familiæ domus Levi seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum:
familiæ Semei seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum:

14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

14 omnes familiæ reliquæ,
familiæ et familiæ seorsum, et mulieres eorum seorsum.
