Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και πάλιν ύψωσα τους οφθαλμούς μου και είδον και ιδού, τέσσαρες άμαξαι εξήρχοντο εκ του μέσου δύο ορέων και τα όρη ήσαν όρη χάλκινα.
1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 Εν τη αμάξη τη πρώτη ήσαν ίπποι κόκκινοι, και εν τη αμάξη τη δευτέρα ίπποι μέλανες,
2 In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3 και εν τη αμάξη τη τρίτη ίπποι λευκοί, και εν τη αμάξη τη τετάρτη ίπποι ποικίλοι ψαροί.
3 In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Και απεκρίθην και είπα προς τον άγγελον τον λαλούντα μετ' εμού, Τι είναι ταύτα, κύριέ μου;
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Και απεκρίθη ο άγγελος και είπε προς εμέ, Ταύτα είναι οι τέσσαρες άνεμοι του ουρανού, οίτινες εξέρχονται εκ της στάσεως αυτών ενώπιον του Κυρίου πάσης της γής·
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 οι ίπποι οι μέλανες οι εν τη μιά εξέρχονται προς την γην του βορρά, και οι λευκοί εξέρχονται κατόπιν αυτών, και οι ποικίλοι εξέρχονται προς την γην του νότου.
6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7 Και οι ψαροί εξήλθον και εζήτησαν να υπάγωσι διά να περιέλθωσι την γην. Και είπεν, Υπάγετε, περιέλθετε την γην. Και περιήλθον την γην.
7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 Και έκραξε προς εμέ και ελάλησε προς εμέ, λέγων, Ιδέ, οι εξερχόμενοι προς την γην του βορρά ανέπαυσαν το πνεύμά μου εν τη γη του βορρά.
8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
9 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
9 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
10 Λάβε εκ των ανδρών της αιχμαλωσίας, εκ του Χελδαΐ, εκ του Τωβία και εκ του Ιεδαΐα, των ελθόντων εκ Βαβυλώνος, και ελθέ την αυτήν εκείνην ημέραν και είσελθε εις τον οίκον του Ιωσίου, υιού του Σοφονίου·
10 “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 και λάβε αργύριον και χρυσίον και κάμε στεφάνους και επίθες επί την κεφαλήν του Ιησού, υιού του Ιωσεδέκ, του ιερέως του μεγάλου,
11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 και λάλησον προς αυτόν, λέγων, Ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, λέγων, Ιδού, ο ανήρ, του οποίου το όνομα είναι ο Βλαστός· και θέλει βλαστήσει εκ του τόπου αυτού και θέλει οικοδομήσει τον ναόν του Κυρίου.
12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple.
13 Ναι, αυτός θέλει οικοδομήσει τον ναόν του Κυρίου, και αυτός θέλει λάβει την δόξαν και θέλει καθήσει και διοικήσει επί του θρόνου αυτού και θέλει είσθαι ιερεύς επί του θρόνου αυτού, και βουλή ειρήνης θέλει είσθαι μεταξύ των δύο τούτων.
13 He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 Και στέφανοι θέλουσιν είσθαι διά τον Ελέμ και διά τον Τωβίαν και διά τον Ιεδαΐαν και διά τον Ειν τον υιόν του Σοφονίου προς μνημόσυνον εν τω ναώ του Κυρίου.
14 The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.
15 Και οι μακράν θέλουσιν ελθεί και οικοδομήσει εν τω ναώ του Κυρίου· και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων με απέστειλε προς εσάς· και τούτο θέλει γείνει, εάν υπακούσητε ακριβώς εις την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού σας.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice.”’”
