2 "I am zealous for Zion - I care! I'm angry about Zion - I'm involved!"

3 "I've come back to Zion, I've moved back to Jerusalem. Jerusalem's new names will be Truth City, and Mountain of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, and Mount Holiness."

4 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

5 And boys and girls will fill the public parks, laughing and playing - a good city to grow up in."

6 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: "Do the problems of returning and rebuilding by just a few survivors seem too much? But is anything too much for me? Not if I have my say."

7 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

8 I'll bring them back and move them into Jerusalem. They'll be my people and I'll be their God. I'll stick with them and do right by them."

9 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:"Get a grip on things. Hold tight, you who are listening to what I say through the preaching of the prophets. The Temple of God-of-the-Angel-Armies has been reestablished. The Temple is being rebuilt.

10 We've come through a hard time: You worked for a pittance and were lucky to get that; the streets were dangerous; you could never let down your guard; I had turned the world into an armed camp.

11 "But things have changed. I'm taking the side of my core of surviving people:

12 Sowing and harvesting will resume, Vines will grow grapes, Gardens will flourish, Dew and rain will make everything green.

13 You've gotten a reputation as a bad-news people, you people of Judah and Israel, but I'm coming to save you. From now on, you're the good-news people. Don't be afraid. Keep a firm grip on what I'm doing." Keep Your Lives Simple and Honest

14 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

15 at this time I've decided to bless Jerusalem and the country of Judah. Don't be afraid.

16 And now here's what I want you to do: Tell the truth, the whole truth, when you speak. Do the right thing by one another, both personally and in your courts.

17 Don't cook up plans to take unfair advantage of others. Don't do or say what isn't so. I hate all that stuff. Keep your lives simple and honest." Decree of God.

18 Again I received a Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

19 "The days of mourning set for the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months will be turned into days of feasting for Judah - celebration and holiday. Embrace truth! Love peace!"

20 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

21 The leaders will confer with one another: 'Shouldn't we try to get in on this? Get in on God's blessings? Pray to God-of-the-Angel-Armies? What's keeping us? Let's go!'

22 "Lots of people, powerful nations - they'll come to Jerusalem looking for what they can get from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, looking to get a blessing from God."

23 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: "At that time, ten men speaking a variety of languages will grab the sleeve of one Jew, hold tight, and say, 'Let us go with you. We've heard that God is with you.'"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et factum est verbum Domini exercituum dicens

2 haec dicit Dominus exercituum zelatus sum Sion zelo magno et indignatione magna zelatus sum eam

3 haec dicit Dominus exercituum reversus sum ad Sion et habitabo in medio Hierusalem et vocabitur Hierusalem civitas veritatis et mons Domini exercituum mons sanctificatus

4 haec dicit Dominus exercituum adhuc habitabunt senes et anus in plateis Hierusalem et viri baculus in manu eius prae multitudine dierum

5 et plateae civitatis conplebuntur infantibus et puellis ludentibus in plateis eius

6 haec dicit Dominus exercituum si difficile videbitur in oculis reliquiarum populi huius in diebus illis numquid in oculis meis difficile erit dicit Dominus exercituum

7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce ego salvabo populum meum de terra orientis et de terra occasus solis

8 et adducam eos et habitabunt in medio Hierusalem et erunt mihi in populum et ego ero eis in Deum in veritate et iustitia

9 haec dicit Dominus exercituum confortentur manus vestrae qui auditis in diebus his sermones istos per os prophetarum in die qua fundata est domus Domini exercituum ut templum aedificaretur

10 siquidem ante dies illos merces hominum non erat nec merces iumentorum erat neque introeunti et exeunti erat pax prae tribulatione et dimisi omnes homines unumquemque contra proximum suum

11 nunc autem non iuxta dies priores ego faciam reliquiis populi huius dicit Dominus exercituum

12 sed semen pacis erit vinea dabit fructum suum et terra dabit germen suum et caeli dabunt rorem suum et possidere faciam reliquias populi huius universa haec

13 et erit sicut eratis maledictio in gentibus domus Iuda et domus Israhel sic salvabo vos et eritis benedictio nolite timere confortentur manus vestrae

14 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum sicut cogitavi ut adfligerem vos cum ad iracundiam provocassent patres vestri me dicit Dominus

15 et non sum misertus sic conversus cogitavi in diebus istis ut benefaciam Hierusalem et domui Iuda nolite timere

16 haec sunt ergo verba quae facietis loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo veritatem et iudicium pacis iudicate in portis vestris

17 et unusquisque malum contra amicum suum ne cogitetis in cordibus vestris et iuramentum mendax ne diligatis omnia enim haec sunt quae odi dicit Dominus

18 et factum est verbum Domini exercituum ad me dicens

19 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ieiunium quarti et ieiunium quinti et ieiunium septimi et ieiunium decimi erit domui Iuda in gaudium et in laetitiam et in sollemnitates praeclaras veritatem tantum et pacem diligite

20 haec dicit Dominus exercituum usquequo veniant populi et habitent in civitatibus multis

21 et vadant habitatores unus ad alterum dicentes eamus et deprecemur faciem Domini et quaeramus Dominum exercituum vadam etiam ego

22 et venient populi multi et gentes robustae ad quaerendum Dominum exercituum in Hierusalem et deprecandam faciem Domini

23 haec dicit Dominus exercituum in diebus illis in quibus adprehendent decem homines ex omnibus linguis gentium et adprehendent fimbriam viri iudaei dicentes ibimus vobiscum audivimus enim quoniam Deus vobiscum est
