Chap. I.
note
The prophet exhorteth the people to conuert to God, and not to imitate the
euil examples of their fathers. 7. by a vision of an horseman, and diuers
colored horses, he prophecieth bitter times: 18. confirming the same by an
other vision of foure hornes.
1 In the eight moneth in the second yeare of king
Darius the word of our Lord was made to Zacharie
the sonne of Barachias, the sonne of Addo, the prophet,
saying:
2 Our Lord hath bene wrath vpon your
fathers with wrath.
3 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith
the Lord of hosts: note Conuert to me, sayth the Lord of hosts:
and I wil conuert to you, sayth the Lord of hosts.
4 Be not as
your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Conuert from your euil wayes, &
from your most wicked thoughts: and they heard not, neither
attended to me, sayth our Lord.
5 Your fathers where are they?
and the prophets shal they liue for euer?
6 But yet my wordes,
& mine ordinances, which I gaue in commandment to my seruants
the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers, and
they conuerted, & sayd: As the Lord of hosts thought to do to
vs according to our wayes, & according to our inuentions, he
hath done to vs.
7 In the foure & twentith day of the eleuenth
moneth Sabath: in the second yeare of Darius, the word of
our Lord was made to Zacharie the sonne of Barachias, the
sonne of Addo, the prophet, saying:
8 I saw by night, and behold
notea man mounting vpon a red horse, & he stood among
the myrtletrees, that were in the botome: and after him horses
red, speckled, and white.
9 And I sayd: What are these, my
Lord? and the Angel that spake in me, sayd to me: I wil shew
thee what these thinges are.
10 And the man, that stood among
the myrtle trees answered, & sayd: These are they, whom our
Lord sent to walke through the earth.
11 And they answered to
the Angel of our Lord, which stood among the mirtle trees, &
sayd: We haue walked through the earth, and loe al the earth
is inhabited, and at rest.
12 And the Angel of our Lord answered,
and sayd: รด Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not haue mercie
on Ierusalem, and on the cities of Iuda, with which thou hast
-- --
bene angrie? this now is note the seuentith yeare.
13 And our
Lord answered the Angel, that spake in me, good wordes,
comfortable wordes.
14 And the Angel that spake in me, sayd
to me: Crie, saying: Thus sayth the Lord of hosts: I haue bene
zelous for Ierusalem, and Sion with great zele.
15 And with
great anger am I angrie vpon the welthie nations: because I
was angrie a litle, but they helped toward the euil.
16 Therfore
thus saith our Lord: I wil returne to Ierusalem in mercies: my
house shal be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts: & the plumme
line shal be stretched forth vpon Ierusalem.
17 As yet crie thou
saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: As yet shal my cities flow
with good thinges: and the Lord wil yet comfort Sion, and he
wil yet choose Ierusalem.
18 And I lifted vp mine eyes, and saw:
and behold note foure hornes.
19 And I sayd to the Angel, that
spake in me: What are these: And he sayd to me: These are
the hornes that haue scattered Iuda, and Israel, and Ierusalem.
20 And our Lord shewed me foure note artificers.
21 And I sayd:
What come these to doe? Who spake saying: These are the
hornes, that scattered Iuda euerie man a part, & none of them
lifted his head: and these are come to fray them, to cast downe
the hornes of the nations, that haue lifted the horne vpon the
land of Iuda to scatter it.
