GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, ανηρ και σχοινιον μετρικον εν τη χειρι αυτου?	1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
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 And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”
3 Και ιδου, ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου εξηλθε, και ετερος αγγελος εξηλθεν εις συναντησιν αυτου	3 And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
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 to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.
5 διοτι εγω, λεγει Κυριος, θελω εισθαι εις αυτην τειχος πυρος κυκλω και θελω εισθαι προς δοξαν εν μεσω αυτης.	5 And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.
6 Ω, ω? φευγετε απο της γης του βορρα, λεγει Κυριος? διοτι σας διεσκορπισα προς τους τεσσαρας ανεμους του ουρανου, λεγει Κυριος.	6 O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
7 Ω, διασωθητι, Σιων, η κατοικουσα μετα της θυγατρος της Βαβυλωνος.	7 O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
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 For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.
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 For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.
10 Τερπου και ευφραινου, θυγατερ Σιων? διοτι ιδου, εγω ερχομαι και θελω κατοικησει εν μεσω σου, λεγει Κυριος.	10 Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, 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 And many nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
12 Και ο Κυριος θελει κατακληρονομησει τον Ιουδαν δια μεριδα αυτου εν τη γη τη αγια και θελει εκλεξει παλιν την Ιερουσαλημ.	12 And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
13 Σιωπα, πασα σαρξ, ενωπιον του Κυριου? διοτι εξηγερθη απο της κατοικιας της αγιοτητος αυτου.	13 Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
