ΖΑΧΑΡΙΑΣ - Zaccaria - Zachariah 10

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 αιτεισθε υετον παρα κυριου καθ' ωραν προιμον και οψιμον κυριος εποιησεν φαντασιας και υετον χειμερινον δωσει αυτοις εκαστω βοτανην εν αγρω	1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring season! It is the LORD who makes storm clouds. And sends men the pouring rain; for everyone, grassy fields.
2 διοτι οι αποφθεγγομενοι ελαλησαν κοπους και οι μαντεις ορασεις ψευδεις και τα ενυπνια ψευδη ελαλουν ματαια παρεκαλουν δια τουτο εξηρθησαν ως προβατα και εκακωθησαν διοτι ουκ ην ιασις	2 For the teraphim speak nonsense, the diviners have false visions: Deceitful dreams they tell, empty comfort they offer. This is why they wander like sheep, wretched: they have no shepherd.
3 επι τους ποιμενας παρωξυνθη ο θυμος μου και επι τους αμνους επισκεψομαι και επισκεψεται κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ το ποιμνιον αυτου τον οικον ιουδα και ταξει αυτους ως ιππον ευπρεπη αυτου εν πολεμω	3 My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; For the LORD of hosts will visit his flock, the house of Judah, and make them his stately war horse.
4 και εξ αυτου επεβλεψεν και εξ αυτου εταξεν και εξ αυτου τοξον εν θυμω εξ αυτου εξελευσεται πας ο εξελαυνων εν τω αυτω	4 From him shall come leader and chief, from him warrior's bow and every officer.
5 και εσονται ως μαχηται πατουντες πηλον εν ταις οδοις εν πολεμω και παραταξονται διοτι κυριος μετ' αυτων και καταισχυνθησονται αναβαται ιππων	5 They shall all be warriors, trampling the mire of the streets in battle; They shall wage war because the LORD is with them, and shall put the horsemen to rout.
6 και κατισχυσω τον οικον ιουδα και τον οικον ιωσηφ σωσω και κατοικιω αυτους οτι ηγαπησα αυτους και εσονται ον τροπον ουκ απεστρεψαμην αυτους διοτι εγω κυριος ο θεος αυτων και επακουσομαι αυτοις	6 I will strengthen the house of Judah, the house of Joseph I will save; I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them, they shall be as though I had never cast them off, for I am the LORD, their God, and I will hear them.
7 και εσονται ως μαχηται του εφραιμ και χαρησεται η καρδια αυτων ως εν οινω και τα τεκνα αυτων οψονται και ευφρανθησονται και χαρειται η καρδια αυτων επι τω κυριω	7 Then Ephraim shall be valiant men, and their hearts shall be cheered as by wine. Their children shall see it and be glad, their hearts shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 σημανω αυτοις και εισδεξομαι αυτους διοτι λυτρωσομαι αυτους και πληθυνθησονται καθοτι ησαν πολλοι	8 I will whistle for them to come together, and when I redeem them they will be as numerous as before.
9 και σπερω αυτους εν λαοις και οι μακραν μνησθησονται μου εκθρεψουσιν τα τεκνα αυτων και επιστρεψουσιν	9 I sowed them among the nations, yet in distant lands they remember me; they shall rear their children and return.
10 και επιστρεψω αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και εξ ασσυριων εισδεξομαι αυτους και εις την γαλααδιτιν και εις τον λιβανον εισαξω αυτους και ου μη υπολειφθη εξ αυτων ουδε εις	10 I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into Gilead and into Lebanon, but these shall not suffice them;
11 και διελευσονται εν θαλασση στενη και παταξουσιν εν θαλασση κυματα και ξηρανθησεται παντα τα βαθη ποταμων και αφαιρεθησεται πασα υβρις ασσυριων και σκηπτρον αιγυπτου περιαιρεθησεται	11 I will cross over to Egypt and smite the waves of the sea and all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up. The pride of Assyria shall be cast down, and the scepter of Egypt taken away.
12 και κατισχυσω αυτους εν κυριω θεω αυτων και εν τω ονοματι αυτου κατακαυχησονται λεγει κυριος	12 I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they shall walk in his name, says the LORD.
