GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Εν τω ογδοω μηνι, τω δευτερω ετει του Δαρειου, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ζαχαριαν, τον υιον του Βαραχιου υιου του Ιδδω, τον προφητην, λεγων,	1 In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 Ο Κυριος ωργισθη μεγαλως επι τους πατερας σας.	2 The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 Δια τουτο ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Επιστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, και θελω επιστρεψει προς εσας, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.	3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 Μη γινεσθε ως οι πατερες σας, προς τους οποιους οι προτεροι προφηται εκραξαν λεγοντες, Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων. Επιστρεψατε τωρα απο των οδων υμων των πονηρων και των πραξεων υμων των πονηρων? και δεν υπηκουσαν και δεν εδωκαν προσοχην εις εμε, λεγει Κυριος.	4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 Οι πατερες σας που ειναι, και οι προφηται μηπως θελουσι ζησει εις τον αιωνα;	5 Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 Αλλ' οι λογοι μου και τα διαταγματα μου, τα οποια προσεταξα εις τους δουλους μου τους προφητας, δεν εφθασαν εις τους πατερας σας; και αυτοι εστραφησαν και ειπον, Καθως ο Κυριος των δυναμεων εβουλευθη να καμη εις ημας, κατα τας οδους ημων και κατα τας πραξεις ημων, ουτως εκαμεν εις ημας.	6 Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 Εν τη εικοστη τεταρτη ημερα του ενδεκατου μηνος, οστις ειναι ο μην Σαβατ, εν τω δευτερω ετει του Δαρειου, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ζαχαριαν τον υιον του Βαραχιου υιου του Ιδδω τον προφητην, λεγων,	7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 Ειδον την νυκτα και ιδου, ανθρωπος ιππευων εφ' ιππου κοκκινου και ουτος ιστατο μεταξυ των μυρσινων, αιτινες ησαν εν κοιλωματι? και οπισθεν αυτου, ιπποι κοκκινοι, ποικιλοι και λευκοι.	8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 Και ειπα, Κυριε μου, τι ειναι ουτοι; Και ειπε προς εμε ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου, Εγω θελω σοι δειξει τι ειναι ταυτα.	9 And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
10 Και ο ανθρωπος ο ισταμενος μεταξυ των μυρσινων απεκριθη και ειπεν, Ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι, τους οποιους ο Κυριος εξαπεστειλε να περιοδευσωσι την γην.	10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 Και απεκριθησαν προς τον αγγελον του Κυριου τον ισταμενον μεταξυ των μυρσινων και ειπον, Ημεις περιωδευσαμεν την γην και ιδου, πασα η γη καθηται και ησυχαζει.	11 And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 Και ο αγγελος του Κυριου απεκριθη και ειπε, Κυριε των δυναμεων, εως ποτε δεν θελεις σπλαγχνισθη συ την Ιερουσαλημ και τας πολεις του Ιουδα κατα των οποιων ηγανακτησας τα εβδομηκοντα ταυτα ετη;	12 And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 Και ο Κυριος απεκριθη προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα μετ' εμου λογους καλους λογους παρηγορητικους.	13 And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 Και ειπε προς εμε ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου, Φωνησον, λεγων, Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Ειμαι ζηλοτυπος δια την Ιερουσαλημ και δια την Σιων εν ζηλοτυπια μεγαλη?	14 And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 και ειμαι σφοδρα ωργισμενος κατα των εθνων των αμεριμνουντων? διοτι ενω εγω ωργισθην ολιγον, αυτα επεβοηθησαν το κακον.	15 And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Εγω επεστρεψα εις την Ιερουσαλημ εν οικτιρμοις? ο οικος μου θελει ανοικοδομηθη εν αυτη, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, και σχοινιον θελει εκτανθη επι την Ιερουσαλημ.	16 Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 Φωνησον ετι λεγων, Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Αι πολεις μου οτι θελουσι πλημμυρησει απο αγαθων και ο Κυριος θελει παρηγορησει ετι την Σιων και θελει εκλεξει παλιν την Ιερουσαλημ.	17 Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
18 Και υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, τεσσαρα κερατα?	18 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
19 και ειπα προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα μετ' εμου, Τι ειναι ταυτα; Ο δε απεκριθη προς εμε, Ταυτα ειναι τα κερατα, τα οποια διεσκορπισαν τον Ιουδαν, τον Ισραηλ και την Ιερουσαλημ.	19 And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 Και ο Κυριος εδειξεν εις εμε τεσσαρας τεκτονας?	20 And the Lord showed me four workmen.
21 και ειπα, Τι ερχονται ουτοι να καμωσι; Και απεκριθη λεγων, ταυτα ειναι τα κερατα τα οποια διεσκορπισαν τον Ιουδαν, ωστε ουδεις εσηκωσε την κεφαλην αυτου? και ουτοι ηλθον δια να φοβισωσιν αυτα, δια να εκτιναξωσι τα κερατα των εθνων, τα οποια εσηκωσαν το κερας εναντιον της γης του Ιουδα δια να διασκορπισωσιν αυτην.	21 And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
