Zechariah 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying:	1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου παντοκρατορος λεγων
2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with a great zeal, and with a great indignation have I been zealous for her.	2 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ εζηλωσα την ιερουσαλημ και την σιων ζηλον μεγαν και θυμω μεγαλω εζηλωσα αυτην
3 Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been turned back towards Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem will be called: “The City of Truth,” and “The Mountain of the Lord of Hosts, the Sanctified Mountain.”	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
4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Then elderly men and elderly women will dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man will be with his walking stick in his hand, because of the multitude of days.	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
5 And the streets of the city will be filled with toddlers and children, playing in its streets.	5 και αι πλατειαι της πολεως πλησθησονται παιδαριων και κορασιων παιζοντων εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης
6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it seems difficult in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, could it indeed be difficult in my eyes, says the Lord of hosts?	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
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the land of the East, and from the land of the setting of the sun.	7 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ιδου εγω ανασωζω τον λαον μου απο γης ανατολων και απο γης δυσμων
8 And I will lead them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in justice.	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
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you who, in those days, are listening to these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts has been founded, so that the temple may be built.	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
10 Indeed, before those days, there was no pay for men, nor was there pay for beasts of burden, and neither was there peace for those entering, nor for those exiting, because of the tribulation. And I had dismissed all men, each one against his neighbor.	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
11 But now, I will not act towards the remnant of this people according to the former days, says the Lord of hosts.	11 και νυν ου κατα τας ημερας τας εμπροσθεν εγω ποιω τοις καταλοιποις του λαου τουτου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
12 But there will be a seed of peace: the vine will give her fruit, and the earth will give her seedlings, and the heavens will give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.	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
13 And this shall be: just as you were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid. Let your hands be strengthened.	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
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Just as I intended to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, says the Lord,	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
15 and I did not show mercy, so have I turned back, thinking in these days to do good to the house of Judah and to Jerusalem. Do not be afraid.	15 ουτως παρατεταγμαι και διανενοημαι εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις του καλως ποιησαι την ιερουσαλημ και τον οικον ιουδα θαρσειτε
16 Therefore, these are the words that you shall do: Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor. With truth and a judgment of peace, judge at your gates.	16 ουτοι οι λογοι ους ποιησετε λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου και κριμα ειρηνικον κρινατε εν ταις πυλαις υμων
17 And let not anyone think up evil against his friend in your hearts. And do not choose to swear falsely. For all these are things that I hate, says the Lord.	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
18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:	18 και εγενετο λογος κυριου παντοκρατορος προς με λεγων
19 Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth will be for the house of Judah in joy and gladness and with bright solemnities. So then, love truth and peace.	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
20 Thus says the Lord of hosts, then the people may arrive and dwell in many cities,	20 ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ετι ηξουσιν λαοι πολλοι και κατοικουντες πολεις πολλας
21 and the inhabitants may hurry, one saying to another: “Let us go and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts. I will go also.”	21 και συνελευσονται κατοικουντες πεντε πολεις εις μιαν πολιν λεγοντες πορευθωμεν δεηθηναι του προσωπου κυριου και εκζητησαι το προσωπον κυριου παντοκρατορος πορευσομαι καγω
22 And many peoples and strong nations will approach, seeking the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord.	22 και ηξουσιν λαοι πολλοι και εθνη πολλα εκζητησαι το προσωπον κυριου παντοκρατορος εν ιερουσαλημ και του εξιλασκεσθαι το προσωπον κυριου
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days, then, ten men from every language of the Gentiles will grasp and cling to the hem of one man of Judea, saying: “We will go with you. For we have heard that God is with you.”	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
