< Zechariah 9 >

1 The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh — his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)
λῆμμα λόγου κυρίου ἐν γῇ Σεδραχ καὶ Δαμασκοῦ θυσία αὐτοῦ διότι κύριος ἐφορᾷ ἀνθρώπους καὶ πάσας φυλὰς τοῦ Ισραηλ
2 And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for — very wise!
καὶ Εμαθ ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς Τύρος καὶ Σιδών διότι ἐφρόνησαν σφόδρα
3 And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Τύρος ὀχυρώματα ἑαυτῇ καὶ ἐθησαύρισεν ἀργύριον ὡς χοῦν καὶ συνήγαγεν χρυσίον ὡς πηλὸν ὁδῶν
4 Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.
διὰ τοῦτο κύριος κληρονομήσει αὐτὴν καὶ πατάξει εἰς θάλασσαν δύναμιν αὐτῆς καὶ αὕτη ἐν πυρὶ καταναλωθήσεται
5 See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron — for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,
ὄψεται Ἀσκαλὼν καὶ φοβηθήσεται καὶ Γάζα καὶ ὀδυνηθήσεται σφόδρα καὶ Ακκαρων ὅτι ᾐσχύνθη ἐπὶ τῷ παραπτώματι αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπολεῖται βασιλεὺς ἐκ Γάζης καὶ Ἀσκαλὼν οὐ μὴ κατοικηθῇ
6 And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.
καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἀλλογενεῖς ἐν Ἀζώτῳ καὶ καθελῶ ὕβριν ἀλλοφύλων
7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν ἐκ στόματος αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐκ μέσου ὀδόντων αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπολειφθήσεται καὶ οὗτος τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν καὶ ἔσονται ὡς χιλίαρχος ἐν Ιουδα καὶ Ακκαρων ὡς ὁ Ιεβουσαῖος
8 And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.
καὶ ὑποστήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ μου ἀνάστημα τοῦ μὴ διαπορεύεσθαι μηδὲ ἀνακάμπτειν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς οὐκέτι ἐξελαύνων διότι νῦν ἑώρακα ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου
9 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — and saved is He, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.
χαῖρε σφόδρα θύγατερ Σιων κήρυσσε θύγατερ Ιερουσαλημ ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεταί σοι δίκαιος καὶ σῴζων αὐτός πραῢς καὶ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ὑποζύγιον καὶ πῶλον νέον
10 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Yea, cut off hath been the bow of battle, And he hath spoken peace to nations, And his rule [is] from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.
καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσει ἅρματα ἐξ Εφραιμ καὶ ἵππον ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐξολεθρευθήσεται τόξον πολεμικόν καὶ πλῆθος καὶ εἰρήνη ἐξ ἐθνῶν καὶ κατάρξει ὑδάτων ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ποταμῶν διεκβολὰς γῆς
11 Also thou — by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent thy prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
καὶ σὺ ἐν αἵματι διαθήκης ἐξαπέστειλας δεσμίους σου ἐκ λάκκου οὐκ ἔχοντος ὕδωρ
12 Turn back to a fenced place, Ye prisoners of the hope, Even to-day a second announcer I restore to thee.
καθήσεσθε ἐν ὀχυρώματι δέσμιοι τῆς συναγωγῆς καὶ ἀντὶ μιᾶς ἡμέρας παροικεσίας σου διπλᾶ ἀνταποδώσω σοι
13 For I have trodden for Me Judah, A bow I have filled [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Javan, And I have set thee as the sword of a hero.
διότι ἐνέτεινά σε Ιουδα ἐμαυτῷ τόξον ἔπλησα τὸν Εφραιμ καὶ ἐπεγερῶ τὰ τέκνα σου Σιων ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα τῶν Ἑλλήνων καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε ὡς ῥομφαίαν μαχητοῦ
14 And Jehovah doth appear for them, And gone forth as lightning hath His arrow, And the Lord Jehovah with a trumpet bloweth, And He hath gone with whirlwinds of the south.
καὶ κύριος ἔσται ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ὡς ἀστραπὴ βολίς καὶ κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐν σάλπιγγι σαλπιεῖ καὶ πορεύσεται ἐν σάλῳ ἀπειλῆς αὐτοῦ
15 Jehovah of Hosts doth cover them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Yea, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.
κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὑπερασπιεῖ αὐτῶν καὶ καταναλώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ καταχώσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν λίθοις σφενδόνης καὶ ἐκπίονται αὐτοὺς ὡς οἶνον καὶ πλήσουσιν ὡς φιάλας θυσιαστήριον
16 And saved them hath Jehovah their God In that day, as a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
καὶ σώσει αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὡς πρόβατα λαὸν αὐτοῦ διότι λίθοι ἅγιοι κυλίονται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ
17 For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins — make fruitful!
ὅτι εἴ τι ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἴ τι καλὸν παρ’ αὐτοῦ σῖτος νεανίσκοις καὶ οἶνος εὐωδιάζων εἰς παρθένους
