2 Peter 1:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make wise thee unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
ἐρευνῶντες εἰς τίνα ἢ ποῖον καιρὸν ἐδήλου τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ προμαρτυρόμενον τὰ εἰς Χριστὸν παθήματα καὶ τὰς μετὰ ταῦτα δόξας
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
רוּחַ יְהוָה דִּבֶּר-בִּי וּמִלָּתוֹ עַל-לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃
The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
καθὼς ἐλάλησεν διὰ στόματος τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἀπ' αἰῶνος προφητῶν αὐτοῦ
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἣν προεῖπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον διὰ στόματος Δαβὶδ περὶ Ἰούδα τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τοῖς συλλαβοῦσιν τὸν Ἰησοῦν
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ προειρηκέναι
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἃ προκατήγγειλεν διὰ στόματος πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν ἐπλήρωσεν οὕτως
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that should Christ suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
αὐτὸς γὰρ Δαβὶδ εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ Εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
καὶ ἔπεσον ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ λέγει μοι Ὅρα μή· σύνδουλός σού εἰμι καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου τῶν ἐχόντων τὴν μαρτυρίαν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ· τῷ θεῷ προσκύνησον ἡ γὰρ μαρτυρία τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἐστιν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς προφητείας
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה בְּזֹאת תֵּֽדְעוּן כִּֽי-יְהוָה שְׁלָחַנִי לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֵת כָּל-הַֽמַּעֲשִׂים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי-לֹא מִלִּבִּֽי׃
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Διό καθὼς λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον Σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
ἀσύμφωνοι δὲ ὄντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀπελύοντο εἰπόντος τοῦ Παύλου ῥῆμα ἓν ὅτι Καλῶς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐλάλησεν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
וּבֹשׁוּ הַחֹזִים וְחָֽפְרוּ הַקֹּסְמִים וְעָטוּ עַל-שָׂפָם כֻּלָּם כִּי אֵין מַעֲנֵה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל-אֵלִיָּהוּ מַה-לִּי וָלָךְ אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים בָּאתָ אֵלַי לְהַזְכִּיר אֶת-עֲוֹנִי וּלְהָמִית אֶת-בְּנִֽי׃
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
וַיִּגְּשׁוּ בְנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בַּגִּלְגָּל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כָּלֵב בֶּן-יְפֻנֶּה הַקְּנִזִּי אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ אֶֽת-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל אֹֽדוֹתַי וְעַל אֹֽדוֹתֶיךָ בְּקָדֵשׁ בַּרְנֵֽעַ׃
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
τοῦτο δηλοῦντος τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου μήπω πεφανερῶσθαι τὴν τῶν ἁγίων ὁδὸν ἔτι τῆς πρώτης σκηνῆς ἐχούσης στάσιν
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the of all holiest was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
וְהִנֵּה׀ אִישׁ אֱלֹהִים בָּא מִֽיהוּדָה בִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֶל-בֵּֽית-אֵל וְיָֽרָבְעָם עֹמֵד עַל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לְהַקְטִֽיר׃
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם מְשָׁרֵת אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָקוּם וַיֵּצֵא וְהִנֵּה-חַיִל סוֹבֵב אֶת-הָעִיר וְסוּס וָרָכֶב וַיֹּאמֶר נַֽעֲרוֹ אֵלָיו אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנִי אֵיכָה נַֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
וַיַּֽעֲמֵד כְּמִשְׁפַּט דָּֽוִיד-אָבִיו אֶת-מַחְלְקוֹת הַכֹּֽהֲנִים עַל-עֲבֹֽדָתָם וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל-מִשְׁמְרוֹתָם לְהַלֵּל וּלְשָׁרֵת נֶגֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לִדְבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים בְּמַחְלְקוֹתָם לְשַׁעַר וָשָׁעַר כִּי כֵן מִצְוַת דָּוִיד אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
וַיִּשְׁלַח מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶֽל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָֽמַר-לוֹ אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים (והזהירה) וְהִזְהִירוֹ וְנִשְׁמַר שָׁם לֹא אַחַת וְלֹא שְׁתָּֽיִם׃
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
