ΖΑΧΑΡΙΑΣ - Zaccaria - Zachariah 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, ανηρ και σχοινιον μετρικον εν τη χειρι αυτου?	1 I raised my eyes and looked; there were four horns.
2 και ειπα, Που υπαγεις συ; Ο δε ειπε προς εμε, να μετρησω την Ιερουσαλημ, δια να ιδω ποιον το πλατος αυτης και ποιον το μηκος αυτης.	2 Then I asked the angel who spoke with me what these were. He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah and Israeland Jerusalem."
3 Και ιδου, ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου εξηλθε, και ετερος αγγελος εξηλθεν εις συναντησιν αυτου	3 Then the LORD showed me four blacksmiths. And I asked, "What are these coming to do?"
4 και ειπε προς αυτον, Δραμε, λαλησον προς τον νεανιαν τουτον, λεγων, Η Ιερουσαλημ θελει κατοικηθη ατειχιστως εξ αιτιας του πληθους των εν αυτη ανθρωπων και κτηνων?	4 And he said, "Here are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head any more; but these have come to terrify them: to cast down the horns of the nations that raised their horns to scatter the land of Judah."
5 διοτι εγω, λεγει Κυριος, θελω εισθαι εις αυτην τειχος πυρος κυκλω και θελω εισθαι προς δοξαν εν μεσω αυτης.	5 Again I raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand.
6 Ω, ω? φευγετε απο της γης του βορρα, λεγει Κυριος? διοτι σας διεσκορπισα προς τους τεσσαρας ανεμους του ουρανου, λεγει Κυριος.	6 "Where are you going?" I asked. "To measure Jerusalem," he answered; "to see how great is its width and how great its length."
7 Ω, διασωθητι, Σιων, η κατοικουσα μετα της θυγατρος της Βαβυλωνος.	7 Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him,
8 Διοτι ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Μετα την δοξαν με απεστειλε προς τα εθνη, τα οποια σας ελεηλατησαν? διοτι οστις εγγιζει εσας, εγγιζει την κορην του οφθαλμου αυτου.	8 and said to him, "Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst.
9 Διοτι, ιδου, εγω θελω σεισει την χειρα μου επ' αυτα και θελουσιν εισθαι λαφυρον εις τους δουλευοντας αυτα? και θελετε γνωρισει οτι ο Κυριος των δυναμεων με απεστειλε.	9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst."
10 Τερπου και ευφραινου, θυγατερ Σιων? διοτι ιδου, εγω ερχομαι και θελω κατοικησει εν μεσω σου, λεγει Κυριος.	10 Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I scatter you to the four winds of heaven, says the LORD.
11 Και εθνη πολλα θελουσιν ενωθη μετα του Κυριου εν τη ημερα εκεινη και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου, και θελω κατοικησει εν μεσω σου, και θελει, γνωρισει οτι ο Κυριος των δυναμεων με εξαπεστειλε προς σε.	11 Up, escape to Zion! you who dwell in daughter Babylon.
12 Και ο Κυριος θελει κατακληρονομησει τον Ιουδαν δια μεριδα αυτου εν τη γη τη αγια και θελει εκλεξει παλιν την Ιερουσαλημ.	12 For thus said the LORD of hosts (after he had already sent me) concerning the nations that have plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
13 Σιωπα, πασα σαρξ, ενωπιον του Κυριου? διοτι εξηγερθη απο της κατοικιας της αγιοτητος αυτου.	13 See, I wave my hand over them; they become plunder for their slaves. Thus you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
	14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.
	15 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
	16 The LORD will possess Judah as his portion of the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.
	17 Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! for he stirs forth from his holy dwelling.
