LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου παντοκρατορος λεγων	1 This word of the LORD of hosts came: Thus says the LORD of hosts:
2 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ εζηλωσα την ιερουσαλημ και την σιων ζηλον μεγαν και θυμω μεγαλω εζηλωσα αυτην	2 I am intensely jealous for Zion, stirred to jealous wrath for her.
3 ταδε λεγει κυριος και επιστρεψω επι σιων και κατασκηνωσω εν μεσω ιερουσαλημ και κληθησεται η ιερουσαλημ πολις η αληθινη και το ορος κυριου παντοκρατορος ορος αγιον	3 Thus says the LORD: I will return to Zion, and I will dwell within Jerusalem; Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.
4 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ετι καθησονται πρεσβυτεροι και πρεσβυτεραι εν ταις πλατειαις ιερουσαλημ εκαστος την ραβδον αυτου εχων εν τη χειρι αυτου απο πληθους ημερων	4 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Old men and old women, each with staff in hand because of old age, shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem.
5 και αι πλατειαι της πολεως πλησθησονται παιδαριων και κορασιων παιζοντων εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης	5 The city shall be filled with boys and girls playing in her streets.
6 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ διοτι ει αδυνατησει ενωπιον των καταλοιπων του λαου τουτου εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις μη και ενωπιον εμου αδυνατησει λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ	6 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Even if this should seem impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people, shall it in those days be impossible in my eyes also, says the LORD of hosts?
7 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ιδου εγω ανασωζω τον λαον μου απο γης ανατολων και απο γης δυσμων	7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Lo, I will rescue my people from the land of the rising sun, and from the land of the setting sun.
8 και εισαξω αυτους και κατασκηνωσω εν μεσω ιερουσαλημ και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον εν αληθεια και εν δικαιοσυνη	8 I will bring them back to dwell within Jerusalem. They shall be my people, and I will be their God, with faithfulness and justice.
9 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ κατισχυετωσαν αι χειρες υμων των ακουοντων εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις τους λογους τουτους εκ στοματος των προφητων αφ' ης ημερας τεθεμελιωται ο οικος κυριου παντοκρατορος και ο ναος αφ' ου ωκοδομηται	9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who in these days hear these words spoken by the prophets on the day when the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid for the building of the temple.
10 διοτι προ των ημερων εκεινων ο μισθος των ανθρωπων ουκ εσται εις ονησιν και ο μισθος των κτηνων ουχ υπαρξει και τω εκπορευομενω και τω εισπορευομενω ουκ εσται ειρηνη απο της θλιψεως και εξαποστελω παντας τους ανθρωπους εκαστον επι τον πλησιον αυτου	10 For before those days there were no wages for men, or hire for beasts; those who came and went had no security from the enemy, for I set every man against his neighbor.
11 και νυν ου κατα τας ημερας τας εμπροσθεν εγω ποιω τοις καταλοιποις του λαου τουτου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ	11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in former days, says the LORD of hosts,
12 αλλ' η δειξω ειρηνην η αμπελος δωσει τον καρπον αυτης και η γη δωσει τα γενηματα αυτης και ο ουρανος δωσει την δροσον αυτου και κατακληρονομησω τοις καταλοιποις του λαου μου παντα ταυτα	12 for it is the seedtime of peace: the vine shall yield its fruit, the land shall bear its crops, and the heavens shall give their dew; all these things I will have the remnant of the people possess.
13 και εσται ον τροπον ητε εν καταρα εν τοις εθνεσιν οικος ιουδα και οικος ισραηλ ουτως διασωσω υμας και εσεσθε εν ευλογια θαρσειτε και κατισχυετε εν ταις χερσιν υμων	13 Just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you that you may be a blessing; do not fear, but let your hands be strong.
14 διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ον τροπον διενοηθην του κακωσαι υμας εν τω παροργισαι με τους πατερας υμων λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και ου μετενοησα	14 Thus says the LORD of hosts: As I determined to harm you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I did not relent,
15 ουτως παρατεταγμαι και διανενοημαι εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις του καλως ποιησαι την ιερουσαλημ και τον οικον ιουδα θαρσειτε	15 so again in these days I have determined to favor Jerusalem and the house of Judah; do not fear!
16 ουτοι οι λογοι ους ποιησετε λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου και κριμα ειρηνικον κρινατε εν ταις πυλαις υμων	16 These then are the things you should do: Speak the truth to one another; let there be honesty and peace in the judgments at your gates,
17 και εκαστος την κακιαν του πλησιον αυτου μη λογιζεσθε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων και ορκον ψευδη μη αγαπατε διοτι ταυτα παντα εμισησα λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ	17 and let none of you plot evil against another in his heart, nor love a false oath. For all these things I hate, says the LORD.
18 και εγενετο λογος κυριου παντοκρατορος προς με λεγων	18 This word of the LORD of hosts came to me:
19 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ νηστεια η τετρας και νηστεια η πεμπτη και νηστεια η εβδομη και νηστεια η δεκατη εσονται τω οικω ιουδα εις χαραν και εις ευφροσυνην και εις εορτας αγαθας και ευφρανθησεσθε και την αληθειαν και την ειρηνην αγαπησατε	19 Thus says the LORD of hosts: The fast days of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months shall become occasions of joy and gladness, cheerful festivals for the house of Judah; only love faithfulness and peace.
20 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ετι ηξουσιν λαοι πολλοι και κατοικουντες πολεις πολλας	20 Thus says the LORD of hosts: There shall yet come peoples, the inhabitants of many cities;
21 και συνελευσονται κατοικουντες πεντε πολεις εις μιαν πολιν λεγοντες πορευθωμεν δεηθηναι του προσωπου κυριου και εκζητησαι το προσωπον κυριου παντοκρατορος πορευσομαι καγω	21 and the inhabitants of one city shall approach those of another, and say, "Come! let us go to implore the favor of the LORD"; and, "I too will go to seek the LORD."
22 και ηξουσιν λαοι πολλοι και εθνη πολλα εκζητησαι το προσωπον κυριου παντοκρατορος εν ιερουσαλημ και του εξιλασκεσθαι το προσωπον κυριου	22 Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to implore the favor of the LORD.
23 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εαν επιλαβωνται δεκα ανδρες εκ πασων των γλωσσων των εθνων και επιλαβωνται του κρασπεδου ανδρος ιουδαιου λεγοντες πορευσομεθα μετα σου διοτι ακηκοαμεν οτι ο θεος μεθ' υμων εστιν	23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men of every nationality, speaking different tongues, shall take hold, yes, take hold of every Jew by the edge of his garment and say, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
