Zechariah 3
Ζαχαρίας
1 ΚΑΙ ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος Ἰησοῦν, τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν, ἑστῶτα πρὸ προσώπου ἀγγέλου Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ διάβολος εἱστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀντικεῖσθαι αὐτῷ.
And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him.
And the Lords said to the Devil, (Brenton's 3:2, which the Greek of this edition does not have)
2 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς τὸν διάβολον· ἐπιτιμήσαι Κύριος ἐν σοί, διάβολε, καὶ ἐπιτιμήσαι Κύριος ἐν σοὶ ὁ ἐκλεξάμενος τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ· οὐκ ἰδοὺ τοῦτο ὡς δαλὸς ἐξεσπασμένος ἐκ πυρός;
The Lord rebuke you, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire? (verse 3 in Brenton's English)
3 καὶ Ἰησοῦς ἦν ἐνδεδυμένος ἱμάτια ρυπαρὰ καὶ εἱστήκει πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ ἀγγέλου.
Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)
4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς ἑστηκότας πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἀφέλετε τὰ ἱμάτια τὰ ρυπαρὰ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ ἀφῃ£ρηκα τὰς ἀνομίας σου, καὶ ἐνδύσατε αὐτὸν ποδήρη
And [the Lord] answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy raiment from him: and he said to him, Behold, I have taken away your iniquities: and clothe you⌃ him with a long robe, (verse 5 in Brenton's English)
5 καὶ ἐπίθετε κίδαριν καθαρὰν ἐπὶ τήν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καί περιέβαλον αὐτὸν ἱμάτια καὶ ἐπέθηκαν κίδαριν καθαρὰν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου εἱστήκει.
and place a pure mitre upon his head. So they placed a pure mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments: and the angel of the Lord stood [by]. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)
6 καὶ διεμαρτύρατο ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἰησοῦν λέγων·
And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying, (verse 7 in Brenton's English)
7 τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἐὰν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου πορεύῃ καὶ ἐὰν τὰ προστάγματά μου φυλάξῃς, καὶ σὺ διακρινεῖς τὸν οἶκόν μου· καὶ ἐὰν διαφυλάξῃς καί γε τὴν αὐλήν μου, καὶ δώσω σοι ἀναστρεφομένους ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑστηκότων τούτων.
Thus says the Lord Almighty; If you will walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shall you judge my house: and if you will diligently keep my court, then will I give you men to walk in the midst of these that stand [here]. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)
8 ἄκουε δή, Ἰησοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας, σὺ καὶ οἱ πλησίον σου οἱ καθήμενοι πρὸ προσώπου σου, διότι ἄνδρες τερατοσκόποι εἰσί· διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἄγω τὸν δοῦλόν μου Ἀνατολήν·
Hear now, Jesus the high priest, you, and your neighbours that are sitting before [you]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The Branch. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)
9 διότι ὁ λίθος, ὃν ἔδωκα πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τὸν ἕνα ἑπτὰ ὀφθαλμοί εἰσιν. ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὀρύσσω βόθρον, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ψηλαφήσω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀδικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ.
For [as for] the stone which I have set before the face of Jesus, on the one stone are seven eyes: behold, I am digging a trench, says the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)
10 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, συγκαλέσετε ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ὑποκάτω ἀμπέλου καὶ ὑποκάτω συκῆς.
In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you⌃ shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)
