Old Testament · Brenton Septuagint with Greek parallel

Zacharias 14

1Behold, the days of the Lord come, and your spoils shall be divided in you.Ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται Κυρίου, καὶ διαμερισθήσονται τὰ σκῦλά σου ἐν σοί·

2And I will gather all the Gentiles to Jerusalem to war, and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, but the rest of my people shall not be utterly cut off from the city.καὶ ἐπισυνάξω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἁλώσεται ἡ πόλις, καὶ διαρπαγήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες μολυνθήσονται, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς πόλεως ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ, οἱ δὲ κατάλοιποι τοῦ λαοῦ μου οὐ μὴ ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως.

3And the Lord shall go forth, and fight with those Gentiles as when he fought in the day of war.Καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Κύριος, καὶ παρατάξεται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐκείνοις, καθὼς ἡμέρα παρατάξεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.

4And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave asunder, half of it toward the east and the west, a very great division; and half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south.Καὶ στήσονται οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν, τὸ κατέναντι Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐξ ἀνατολῶν· καὶ σχισθήσεται τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν, τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ θάλασσαν, χάος μέγα σφόδρα· καὶ κλινεῖ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ ὄρους πρὸς τὸν βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Νότον.

5And the valley of my mountains shall be closed up, and the valley of the mountains shall be joined on to Jasod, and shall be blocked up as it was blocked up in the days of the earthquake, in the days of Ozias king of Juda; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him.Καὶ φραχθήσεται ἡ φάραγξ τῶν ὀρέων μου, καὶ ἐγκολληθήσεται φάραγξ ὀρέων ἕως Ἰασὸδ, καὶ ἐνφραχθήσεται καθὼς ἐνεφράγη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ συσσεισμοῦ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ὀζίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα· καὶ ἥξει Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

6And it shall come to pass in that day that there shall be no light,Καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ οὐκ ἔσται φῶς, καὶ ψύχη καὶ πάγος

7and there shall be for one day * cold and frost, and that day shall be known to the Lord, and it shall not be day nor night: but towards evening it shall be light.ἔσται μίαν ἡμέραν, καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη γνωστὴ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἡμέρα, καὶ οὐ νὺξ, καὶ πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἔσται φῶς.

8And in that day living water shall come forth out of Jerusalem; half of it toward the former sea, and half of it toward the latter sea: and so shall it be in summer and spring.Καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξελεύσεται ὕδωρ ζῶν ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν πρώτην, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ἐσχάτην· καὶ ἐν θέρει καὶ ἐν ἔαρι ἔσται οὕτως.

9And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one,Καὶ ἔσται Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν· ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται Κύριος εἷς, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἓν,

10compassing all the earth, and the wilderness from Gabe to Remmon south of Jerusalem. And Rama shall remain in its place. From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the first gate, to the gate of the corners, and to the tower of Anameel, as far as the king's wine presses,κυκλῶν πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ τὴν ἔρημον ἀπὸ Γαβὲ ἕως Ῥεμμὼν κατὰ Νότον Ἱερουσαλήμ. Ῥαμὰ δὲ ἐπὶ τόπου μενεῖ· ἀπὸ τῆς πύλης Βενιαμὶν ἕως τοῦ τόπου τῆς πύλης τῆς πρώτης, ἕως τῆς πύλης τῶν γωνιῶν, καὶ ἕως τοῦ πύργου Ἀναμεὴλ, ἕως τῶν ὑποληνίων τοῦ βασιλέως

11they shall dwell † in the city; and there shall be no more any curse, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely.κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀνάθεμα οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι, καὶ κατοικήσει Ἱερουσαλὴμ πεποιθότως.

12And this shall be the overthrow with which the Lord will strike all the nations, as many as have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they are standing upon their feet, and their eyes shall melt out of their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.Καὶ αὕτη ἔσται ἡ πτῶσις ἣν κόψει Κύριος πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς, ὅσοι ἐπεστράτευσαν ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· τακήσονται αἱ σάρκες αὐτῶν, ἑστηκότων ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν ῥυήσονται ἐκ τῶν ὀπῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν τακήσεται ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν.

13And there shall be in that day a great ‡ panic from the Lord upon them; and they shall lay hold every man of the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall be clasped with the hand of his neighbor.Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκστασις Κυρίου μεγάλη ἐπʼ αὐτούς· καὶ ἐπιλήψονται ἕκαστος τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ συμπλακήσεται ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.

14Juda also shall fight in Jerusalem; and God shall gather the strength of all the nations round about, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.Καὶ Ἰούδας παρατάξεται ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ συνάξει τὴν ἰσχὺν πάντων τῶν λαῶν κυκλόθεν, χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ ἱματισμὸν εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα.

15And this shall be the overthrow of the horses, and mules, and camels, and asses, and all the beasts that are in those camps, according to this overthrow.Καὶ αὕτη ἔσται ἡ πτῶσις τῶν ἵππων, καὶ τῶν ἡμιόνων, καὶ τῶν καμήλων, καὶ τῶν ὄνων, καὶ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν ὄντων ἐν ταῖς παρεμβολαῖς ἐκείναις, κατὰ τὴν πτῶσιν ταύτην.

16And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall be left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, shall even come up every year to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.Καὶ ἔσται, ὅσοι ἐὰν καταλειφθῶσιν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν ἐλθόντων ἐπʼ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἀναβήσονται κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν, τοῦ προσκυνῆσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι, καὶ τοῦ ἑορτάσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῆς σκηνοπηγίας.

17And it shall come to pass, that whoever of all the families of the earth shall not come up to Jerusalem to worship the king, the Lord Almighty, even these shall be added to the others.Καὶ ἔσται, ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ ἀναβῶσιν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν τῆς γῆς εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τοῦ προσκυνῆσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι, καὶ οὗτοι ἐκείνοις προστεθήσονται.

18And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, nor come; then upon them shall be the overthrow with which the Lord shall strike all the nations, whichever of them shall not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.Ἐὰν δὲ φυλὴ Αἰγύπτου μὴ ἀναβῇ, μηδὲ ἔλθῃ, καὶ ἐπὶ τούτους ἔσται ἡ πτῶσις, ἣν πατάξει Κύριος πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ὅσα ἂν μὴ ἀναβῇ, τοῦ ἑορτάσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῆς σκηνοπηγίας.

19This shall be the sin of Egypt, and the sin of all the nations, whoever shall not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.Αὕτη ἔσται ἡ ἁμαρτία Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὃς ἂν μὴ ἀναβῇ ἑορτάσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῆς σκηνοπηγίας.

20In that day there shall be upon the bridle of every horse Holiness to the Lord Almighty; and the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as bowls before the altar.Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται τὸ ἐπὶ τὸν χαλινὸν τοῦ ἵππου ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ λέβητες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου ὡς φιάλαι πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

21And every pot in Jerusalem and in Juda shall be holy to the Lord Almighty: and all that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and shall seethe meat in them: and in that day there shall be no more the Chananite in the house of the Lord Almighty.Καὶ ἔσται πᾶς λέβης ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ ἅγιος τῷ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι· καὶ ἥξουσι πάντες οἱ θυσιάζοντες, καὶ λήψονται ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἑψήσουσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ οὐκ ἔσται Χαναναῖος ἔτι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
