Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
1Λῆμμα λόγου Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ· λέγει Κύριος, ἐκτείνων οὐρανὸν, καὶ θεμελιῶν γῆν, καὶ πλάσσων πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτῷ,
2“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.
2ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὡς πρόθυρα σαλευόμενα πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἔσται περιοχὴ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
3On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.
3Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ λίθον καταπατούμενον πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι· πᾶς ὁ καταπατῶν αὐτὴν ἐμπαίζων ἐμπαίξεται, καὶ ἐπισυναχθήσονται ἐπʼ αὐτὴν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς.
4On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.
4Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, πατάξω πάντα ἵππον ἐν ἐκστάσει, καὶ τὸν ἀναβάτην αὐτοῦ ἐν παραφρονήσει, ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα διανοίξω τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἵππους τῶν λαῶν πατάξω ἐν ἀποτυφλώσει.
5Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’
5Καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ χιλίαρχοι Ἰούδα ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, εὑρήσομεν ἑαυτοῖς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι Θεῷ αὐτῶν.
6On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.
6Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τοὺς χιλιάρχους Ἰούδα ὡς δαλὸν πυρὸς ἐν ξύλοις, καὶ ὡς λαμπάδα πυρὸς ἐν καλάμῃ, καὶ καταφάγονται ἐκ δεξιῶν, καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς κυκλόθεν, καὶ κατοικήσει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔτι καθʼ ἑαυτὴν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
7The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
7Καὶ σώσει Κύριος τὰ σκηνώματα Ἰούδα, καθὼς ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, ὅπως μὴ μεγαλύνηται καύχημα οἴκου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔπαρσις τῶν κατοικούντων Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰούδα.
8On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
8Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος ὑπὲρ τῶν κατοικούντων Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὡς Δαυὶδ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Δαυὶδ ὡς οἶκος Θεοῦ, ὡς ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
9So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
9Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ζητήσω ἐξᾷραι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
10Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
10Καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ πνεῦμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ· καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρὸς μὲ, ἀνθʼ ὧν κατωρχήσαντο· καὶ κόψονται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν κοπετὸν, ὡς ἐπʼ ἀγαπητῷ, καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην, ὡς ἐπὶ τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ.
11On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
11Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μεγαλυνθήσεται ὁ κοπετὸς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὡς κοπετὸς ῥοῶνος ἐν πεδίῳ ἐκκοπτομένου.
12The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
12Καὶ κόψεται ἡ γῆ κατὰ φυλὰς φυλάς· φυλὴ οἴκου Δαυὶδ καθʼ ἑαυτὴν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς· φυλὴ οἴκου Νάθαν καθʼ ἑαυτὴν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς·
13the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
13φυλὴ οἴκου Λευὶ καθʼ ἑαυτὴν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς· φυλὴ τοῦ Συμεὼν καθʼ ἑαυτὴν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς.
14and all the remaining clans and their wives.
14Πᾶσαι αἱ ὑπολελειμμέναι φυλαὶ, φυλὴ καθʼ ἑαυτὴν, καὶ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς.
