§12.1Λῆμμα λόγου Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
An oracle of the word of the Lord upon Israel.
Λέγει Κύριος, ἐκτείνων οὐρανόν, καὶ θεμελιῶν γῆν, καὶ πλάσσων πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτῷ §12.2Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὡς πρόθυρα σαλευόμενα πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἔσται περιοχὴ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ.
Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heaven, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: "Behold, I will make Jerusalem as shaking thresholds to all the peoples round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
§12.3καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ λίθον καταπατούμενον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· πᾶς ὁ καταπατῶν αὐτὴν ἐμπαίζων ἐμπαίξεται, καὶ ἐπισυναχθήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὴν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς.
And it shall be in that day, I will make Jerusalem a trampled stone for all the nations; everyone who tramples on it shall be utterly mocked, and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered against it.
§12.4ἐν 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.
On that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness; but upon the house of Judah I will open my eyes, and all the horses of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
§12.5καὶ ἐροῦσιυ οἱ χιλίαρχοι Ἰούδα ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν Εὑρήσομεν ἑαυτοῖς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν Κυρίῳ Παντοκράτορι θεῷ αὐτῶν. §12.6ἐν 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 Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔτι καθʼ ἑαυτὴν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.
And the commanders of Judah shall say in their hearts, 'We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty, their God.' On that day I will make the commanders of Judah like a firebrand among wood, and like a fiery torch in stubble; and they shall devour all the peoples round about on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall yet dwell in her own place in Jerusalem.
§12.7καὶ σώσει Κύριος τὰ σκηνώματα Ἰούδα καθὼς ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, ὅπως μὴ μεγαλύνηται καύχημα οἴκου Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐπάρσεις τῶν κατοικούντων Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν.
And the Lord shall save the tents of Judah as from the beginning, so that the boasting of the house of David and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified against Judah.
§12.8καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος ὑπέρ τῶν κατοικούντων Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὡς Δαυείδ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Δαυεὶδ ὡς οἶκος θεοῦ, ὡς ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
And it shall be in that day that the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as the house of God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
§12.9καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ζητήσω ἐξᾶραι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ,
And it shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
§12.10καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰερουσαλὴμ πνεῖμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ· καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρὸς μέ ἀνθʼ ὧν καταορχήσαντο, καὶ κόψονται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν κοπετὸν ὡς ἐπʼ ἀγαπητῷ, καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην ὡς ἐπὶ τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ.
And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and compassion; and they shall look to me because they danced mockingly, and they shall make wailing for him as for a beloved one, and they shall grieve with grief as for a firstborn.
§12.11ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μεγαλυνθήσεται ὁ κοπετὸς ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὡς κοπετὸς ὸοῶνος ἐν πεδίῳ ἐκκοπτομένου, ¹¹καὶ κόψεται ἡ γῆ κατὰ φυλὰς φυλάς· φυλὴ οἵκου Δαυεὶδ καθʼ ἑαυτήν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς· φυλὴ οἵκου Νάθαν καθʼ θαυτήν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς· §12.13φυλὴ οὑου Λευεὶ καθʼ ἑαυτήν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς· φυλὴ τοῦ Συμεὼν καθʼ ἑαυτήν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ θαυτάς. §12.14πᾶσαι αἱ ὑπολελιμμέναι φυλαί, φυλὴ καθʼ ἑαυτήν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθʼ ἑαυτάς.
In that day the wailing in Jerusalem shall be great, like the wailing of a pomegranate grove cut down in the plain; ¹¹and the land shall wail, tribe by tribe: the tribe of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the tribe of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; the tribe of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the tribe of Simeon by itself, and their wives by themselves; all the remaining tribes, each tribe by itself, and their wives by themselves."
