LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 εν τω ογδοω μηνι ετους δευτερου επι δαρειου εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ζαχαριαν τον του βαραχιου υιον αδδω 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 ωργισθη κυριος επι τους πατερας υμων οργην μεγαλην	2 The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ επιστρεψατε προς με και επιστραφησομαι προς υμας λεγει κυριος	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 και μη γινεσθε καθως οι πατερες υμων οις ενεκαλεσαν αυτοις οι προφηται οι εμπροσθεν λεγοντες ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ αποστρεψατε απο των οδων υμων των πονηρων και απο των επιτηδευματων υμων των πονηρων και ου προσεσχον του εισακουσαι μου 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 υμων που εισιν και οι προφηται μη τον αιωνα ζησονται	5 Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 πλην τους λογους μου και τα νομιμα μου δεχεσθε οσα εγω εντελλομαι εν πνευματι μου τοις δουλοις μου τοις προφηταις οι κατελαβοσαν τους πατερας υμων και απεκριθησαν και ειπαν καθως παρατετακται κυριος παντοκρατωρ του ποιησαι κατα τας οδους υμων και κατα τα επιτηδευματα υμων ουτως εποιησεν υμιν	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 τη τετραδι και εικαδι τω ενδεκατω μηνι ουτος εστιν ο μην σαβατ εν τω δευτερω ετει επι δαρειου εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ζαχαριαν τον του βαραχιου υιον αδδω 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 εωρακα την νυκτα και ιδου ανηρ επιβεβηκως επι ιππον πυρρον και ουτος ειστηκει ανα μεσον των δυο ορεων των κατασκιων και οπισω αυτου ιπποι πυρροι και ψαροι και 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 τι ουτοι κυριε και ειπεν προς με ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι εγω δειξω σοι τι εστιν 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 απεκριθη ο ανηρ ο εφεστηκως ανα μεσον των ορεων και ειπεν προς με ουτοι εισιν ους εξαπεσταλκεν κυριος του περιοδευσαι 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 τω αγγελω κυριου τω εφεστωτι ανα μεσον των ορεων και ειπον περιωδευκαμεν πασαν την γην και ιδου πασα η γη κατοικειται 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 απεκριθη ο αγγελος κυριου και ειπεν κυριε παντοκρατωρ εως τινος ου μη ελεησης την ιερουσαλημ και τας πολεις ιουδα ας υπερειδες τουτο εβδομηκοστον ετος	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 απεκριθη κυριος παντοκρατωρ τω αγγελω τω λαλουντι εν εμοι ρηματα καλα και λογους παρακλητικους	13 And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 και ειπεν προς με ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι ανακραγε λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ εζηλωκα την ιερουσαλημ και την σιων ζηλον μεγαν	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 οργην μεγαλην εγω οργιζομαι επι τα εθνη τα συνεπιτιθεμενα ανθ' ων εγω μεν ωργισθην ολιγα αυτοι δε συνεπεθεντο εις κακα	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 ταδε λεγει κυριος επιστρεψω επι ιερουσαλημ εν οικτιρμω και ο οικος μου ανοικοδομηθησεται εν αυτη λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και μετρον εκταθησεται επι ιερουσαλημ ετι	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 και ειπεν προς με ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι ανακραγε λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ετι διαχυθησονται πολεις εν αγαθοις και ελεησει κυριος ετι την σιων και αιρετιει ετι 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 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
	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 And the Lord showed me four workmen.
	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.”
