Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Τότε προεφήτευσαν ο προφήτης Αγγαίος και Ζαχαρίας ο υιός του Ιδδώ, προς τους Ιουδαίους τους εν Ιουδαία και Ιερουσαλήμ, προφητεύοντες προς αυτούς εν ονόματι του Θεού του Ισραήλ.
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied to them in the name of the God of Israel.
2 Και εσηκώθησαν Ζοροβάβελ ο υιός του Σαλαθιήλ και Ιησούς ο υιός του Ιωσεδέκ και ήρχισαν να οικοδομώσι τον οίκον του Θεού τον εν Ιερουσαλήμ· και μετ' αυτών οι προφήται του Θεού βοηθούντες αυτούς.
2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
3 Εν τούτω τω καιρώ ελθόντες προς αυτούς Ταθναΐ, ο έπαρχος των εντεύθεν του ποταμού, και ο Σεθάρ-βοσναΐ και οι συνέταιροι αυτών, είπον προς αυτούς ούτω· Τις προσέταξεν εις εσάς να οικοδομήτε τον οίκον τούτον και να εγείρητε τούτον τον τοίχον;
3 At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
4 Και τότε είπομεν προς αυτούς ποία είναι τα ονόματα των ανδρών, οίτινες οικοδομούσι την οικοδομήν ταύτην.
4 They also asked for the names of the men who were making this building.
5 Αλλ' επί τους πρεσβυτέρους των Ιουδαίων ήτο ο οφθαλμός του Θεού αυτών, και δεν ηδύναντο να παύσωσιν αυτούς, εωσού έλθη η υπόθεσις προς τον Δαρείον· και τότε έδωκαν απόκρισιν δι' επιστολής περί τούτου.
5 But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
6 Αντίγραφον της επιστολής, την οποίαν Ταθναΐ, ο έπαρχος των εντεύθεν του ποταμού, και ο Σεθάρ-βοσναΐ και οι συνέταιροι αυτού οι Αφαρσαχαίοι οι εντεύθεν του ποταμού, απέστειλαν προς Δαρείον τον βασιλέα.
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king follows.
7 Απέστειλαν επιστολήν προς αυτόν, εν ή ήτο γεγραμμένον ούτως· Εις τον Δαρείον τον βασιλέα, πάσα ειρήνη.
7 They sent a letter to him, in which was written: To Darius the king, all peace.
8 Γνωστόν έστω εις τον βασιλέα, ότι υπήγαμεν εις την επαρχίαν της Ιουδαίας προς τον οίκον του μεγάλου Θεού, και αυτός οικοδομείται με λίθους μεγάλους και εντίθενται ξύλα εις τους τοίχους, και το έργον τούτο προχωρεί ταχέως και ευοδούται εις τας χείρας αυτών.
8 Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
9 Και ερωτήσαντες εκείνους τους πρεσβυτέρους, ελαλήσαμεν προς αυτούς ούτω· Τις προσέταξεν εις εσάς να οικοδομήτε τον οίκον τούτον και να εγείρητε τούτον τον τοίχον;
9 Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, “Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
10 Έτι και τα ονόματα αυτών ηρωτήσαμεν, διά να σοι φανερώσωμεν και γράψωμεν προς σε τα ονόματα των ανδρών των επί κεφαλής αυτών.
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
11 Και απεκρίθησαν προς ημάς ούτω, λέγοντες, Ημείς είμεθα οι δούλοι του Θεού του ουρανού και της γης, και οικοδομούμεν τον οίκον τον προ πολλών ήδη ετών οικοδομηθέντα, τον οποίον βασιλεύς μέγας του Ισραήλ ωκοδόμησε και ανήγειρεν·
11 Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
12 αφού όμως οι πατέρες ημών παρώργισαν τον Θεόν του ουρανού, παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις την χείρα του Ναβουχοδονόσορ, βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος, του Χαλδαίου, και κατέστρεψε τον οίκον τούτον και μετώκισε τον λαόν εις την Βαβυλώνα.
12 But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.
13 Πλην εν τω πρώτω έτει Κύρου του βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος, ο βασιλεύς Κύρος έδωκε προσταγήν να οικοδομηθή ούτος ο οίκος του Θεού.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
14 Και τα σκεύη έτι τα χρυσά και αργυρά του οίκου του Θεού, τα οποία ο Ναβουχοδονόσορ έλαβεν εκ του ναού του εν Ιερουσαλήμ και έφερεν αυτά εις τον ναόν της Βαβυλώνος, ταύτα ο Κύρος ο βασιλεύς εσήκωσεν εκ του ναού της Βαβυλώνος, και παρεδόθησαν εις τον ονομαζόμενον Σασαβασσάρ, τον οποίον είχε κάμει έπαρχον·
14 The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
15 και είπε προς αυτόν, Λάβε τα σκεύη ταύτα, ύπαγε, φέρε αυτά εις τον ναόν τον εν Ιερουσαλήμ, και ο οίκος του Θεού ας οικοδομηθή εν τω τόπω αυτού.
15 He said to him, ‘Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place.’
16 Τότε ελθών ούτος ο Σασαβασσάρ έθεσε τα θεμέλια του οίκου του Θεού, του εν Ιερουσαλήμ· και απ' εκείνου του χρόνου έως της σήμερον οικοδομείται και δεν ετελείωσε.
16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.
17 Τώρα λοιπόν, εάν φαίνηται αρεστόν εις τον βασιλέα, ας γείνη έρευνα εν τω θησαυροφυλακίω του βασιλέως τω εν Βαβυλώνι, εάν ήναι αληθινόν ότι εξεδόθη διαταγή παρά Κύρου του βασιλέως να οικοδομηθή ο οίκος ούτος του Θεού εν Ιερουσαλήμ· και ας αποστείλη ο βασιλεύς προς ημάς την θέλησιν αυτού περί τούτου.
17 Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
