Ζαχαρίας 6
1 καὶ ἐπέστρεψα καὶ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ τέσσαρα ἅρματα ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ μέσου δύο ὀρέων καὶ τὰ ὄρη ἦν ὄρη χαλκᾶ
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 ἐν τῷ ἅρματι τῷ πρώτῳ ἵπποι πυρροί καὶ ἐν τῷ ἅρματι τῷ δευτέρῳ ἵπποι μέλανες
In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
3 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἅρματι τῷ τρίτῳ ἵπποι λευκοί καὶ ἐν τῷ ἅρματι τῷ τετάρτῳ ἵπποι ποικίλοι ψαροί
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθην καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν ἐμοί τί ἐστιν ταῦτα κύριε
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἶπεν ταῦτά ἐστιν οἱ τέσσαρες ἄνεμοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκπορεύονται παραστῆναι τῷ κυρίῳ πάσης τῆς γῆς
The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν οἱ ἵπποι οἱ μέλανες ἐξεπορεύοντο ἐπὶ γῆν βορρᾶ καὶ οἱ λευκοὶ ἐξεπορεύοντο κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ποικίλοι ἐξεπορεύοντο ἐπὶ γῆν νότου
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
7 καὶ οἱ ψαροὶ ἐξεπορεύοντο καὶ ἐπέβλεπον τοῦ πορεύεσθαι τοῦ περιοδεῦσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν πορεύεσθε καὶ περιοδεύσατε τὴν γῆν καὶ περιώδευσαν τὴν γῆν
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "Go around and through the earth." So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 καὶ ἀνεβόησεν καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρός με λέγων ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι ἐπὶ γῆν βορρᾶ ἀνέπαυσαν τὸν θυμόν μου ἐν γῇ βορρᾶ
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Look, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
9 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
10 λαβὲ τὰ ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας παρὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ παρὰ τῶν χρησίμων αὐτῆς καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἐπεγνωκότων αὐτὴν καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ιωσιου τοῦ Σοφονιου τοῦ ἥκοντος ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος
"Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 καὶ λήψῃ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ποιήσεις στεφάνους καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ιωσεδεκ τοῦ ἱερέως τοῦ μεγάλου
Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἰδοὺ ἀνήρ Ἀνατολὴ ὄνομα αὐτῷ καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτοῦ ἀνατελεῖ καὶ οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον κυρίου
and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Look, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of the LORD;
13 καὶ αὐτὸς λήμψεται ἀρετὴν καὶ καθίεται καὶ κατάρξει ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ βουλὴ εἰρηνικὴ ἔσται ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων
even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 ὁ δὲ στέφανος ἔσται τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν καὶ τοῖς χρησίμοις αὐτῆς καὶ τοῖς ἐπεγνωκόσιν αὐτὴν καὶ εἰς χάριτα υἱοῦ Σοφονιου καὶ εἰς ψαλμὸν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου
And the crown shall be to Heldai, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
15 καὶ οἱ μακρὰν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἥξουσιν καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἀπέσταλκέν με πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἰσακούοντες εἰσακούσητε τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν
Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God."'"
