ΕΝ τῷ ὀγδόῳ μηνὶ ἔτους δευτέρου ἐπὶ Δαρείου ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ζαχαρίαν τὸν τοῦ Βαραχίου υἱὸν Ἀδδὼ τὸν προφήτην λέγων

Ὠργίσθη Κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν ὀργὴν μεγάλην.

καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυυάμεων, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων.

καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, οἷς ἐνεκάλεσαν αὐτοῖς οἱ προφῆται ἔμπροσθεν λέγοντες Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶυ ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν· καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν, καὶ οὐ προσέσχον τοῦ εἰσακοῦσαί μου, λέγει Κύριος.

οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, ποῦ εἰσιν; καὶ οἱ προφῆται, μὴ τὸν αἰῶνα ζήσονται;

πλὴν τοὺς λόγους μου καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου δέχεσθε, ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ἐν πνεύματί μου τοῖς δούλοις μου τοῖς προφήταις, οἳ κατελάβοσαν τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν Καθὼς παρατέτακται Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ τοῦ ποινῆσαι ἡμῖν κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ἡμῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ἡμῶν, οὕτως ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν.

Τῇ τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ μηνί, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μὴν Σαβάτ, ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει ἐπὶ Δαρείου ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ζαχαρίαν τὸν τοῦ Βαραχίου υἱὸν Ἀδδὼ τὸν προφήτην λέγων

Ἑόρακα ²³ τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνήρ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ἵππον πυρρόν, καὶ ⁴ οὗτος ἱστήκει ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων τῶν κατασκίων, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἵπποι πυρροὶ καὶ ψαροὶ καὶ ποικίλοι καὶ λευκοί.

καὶ εἶπα Τί οὗτοι, κύριε ; καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί Ἐγὼ δείξω σοι τί ἐστιν ταῦτα.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἐφεστηκὼς ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Οὗτοί εἰσιν οὓς ἐξαπέστειλεν Κύριος περιοδεῦσαι τὴν γῆν.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν τῷ ἀγγέλῳ Κυρίου τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων καὶ εἶπον Ιεριωδεύσαμεν πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖται καὶ ἡσυχάζει.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἅγγελος Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν Κύριε Παντοκράτωρ, ἕως τίνος οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃς τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα, ἃς ὑπερεῖδες τοῦτο ἑβδομηκοστὸν ἔτος;

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ λαλοῦντι ἐν ἐμοὶ ῥήματα καλὰ καὶ λόγους παρακλητικούς.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί Ἀνάκραγε λέγων Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἐζήλωκα τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὴν Σειὼν ζῆλον μέγαν,

καὶ ὀργὴν μεγάλην ἐγῶ ὀργίζομαι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ συνεπιτιθέμενα, ἀνθʼ ὧν μέν ἐγὼ ὠργίσθην ὀλίγα, αὐτοὶ δὲ συνεπέθεντο εἰς κακά.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἐπιβλέψω ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν οἰκτιρμάῷ. καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου ἀνοικοδομηθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ, καὶ μέτρον ἐκταθήσεται ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔτι.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί Ἀνάκραγε λέγων Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἔτι διαχυθήσονται πόλεις ἐν ἀγαθοῖς, καὶ ἐλεήσει Κύριος ἔτι τὴν Σειὼν καὶ αἱρετιεῖ τὴν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Καὶ ἤρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τέσσαρα κέρατα.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν ἐμοί Τί ⁵⁷ ἐστιν ταῦτα, κύριε καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Ταῦτα τὰ κέρατα τὰ διασκορπίσαντα τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ ἔδειξέν μοι Κύριος τέσσαρας τέκτονας.

καὶ εἶπα Τί οὗτοι ἔρχονται ποιῆσαι; καὶ εἶπὲν Γαῦτα τὰ κέρατα τὰ διασκορπίσαντα τὸυ Ἰούδαν καὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατέαξαν, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἦρεν κεφαλήν· καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν οὗτοι τοῦ ὀξῦναι αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν τὰ τέσσάρα ⁸ κέρατα, τὰ ἔθυη τὰ ἐπαιρόμενα κέρας ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν Κυρίου τοῦ διασκορπίσαι αὐτὴν.

Ζαχαρίας (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Zechariah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 1 focus

In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.

Therefore tell them: Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: Return to me, says Yahweh of Hosts, and I will return to you, says Yahweh of Hosts.

Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says Yahweh of hosts, Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, Just as Yahweh of Hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

I had a vision in the night, and, behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

Then I asked, My lord, what are these? The angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth.

They reported to the angel of Yahweh who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked back and forth through the earth, and, behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.

Then the angel of Yahweh replied, O Yahweh of Hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?

Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

So the angel who talked with me said to me, Proclaim, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.

Therefore thus says Yahweh: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it, says Yahweh of Hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.

Proclaim further, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.

I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these? He answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.

Then I asked, What are these coming to do? He said, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
