Old Testament
1 “At the same time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
1 ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ, ὅτι ὤλετο· ἐλήφθη Καριαθαίμ, ᾐσχύνθη Ἀμὰθ καὶ ἡττήθη.
2 Thus says the LORD: “The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness— Israel, when I went to give him rest.”
2 οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωάβ, γαυρίαμα ἐν Ἐσεβών· ἐλογίσαντο ἐπ' αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται, ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα.
3 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
3 ὅτι φωνὴ κεκραγότων ἐξ Ὠρωναίμ, ὄλεθρος καὶ σύντριμμα μέγα·
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
4 συνετρίβη Μωάβ, ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Ζογόρα,
5 You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; The planters shall plant and eat them as ordinary food.
5 ὅτι ἐπλήσθη Ἀλὼθ ἐν κλαυθμῷ, ἀναβήσεται κλαίων ἐν ὁδῷ Ὠρωναίμ, κραυγὴν συντρίμματος ἠκούσατε·
6 For there shall be a day When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, To the LORD our God.’ ”
6 φεύγετε καὶ σώσατε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσεσθε ὥσπερ ὄνος ἄγριος ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
7 For thus says the LORD: “Sing with gladness for Jacob, And shout among the chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, The remnant of Israel!’
7 ἐπειδὴ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν ὀχυρώμασί σου, καὶ σὺ συλληφθήσῃ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Χαμὼς ἐν ἀποικίᾳ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child And the one who labors with child, together; A great throng shall return there.
8 καὶ ἥξει ὄλεθρος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν, καὶ πόλις οὐ μὴ σωθῇ, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ αὐλών, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ πεδινή, καθὼς εἶπε Κύριος.
9 They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.
9 δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωάβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἀναφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;
10 “Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, And declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’
10 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ποιῶν τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου ἀμελῶς, ἐξαίρων μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἀφ' αἵματος.
11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.
11 ἀνεπαύσατο Μωὰβ ἐκ παιδαρίου καὶ πεποιθὼς ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνέχεεν ἐξ ἀγγείου εἰς ἀγγεῖον καὶ εἰς ἀποικισμὸν οὐκ ᾤχετο· διὰ τοῦτο ἔστη γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὀσμὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέλιπε.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, Streaming to the goodness of the LORD— For wheat and new wine and oil, For the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all.
12 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστελῶ αὐτῷ κλίνοντας, καὶ κλινοῦσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ λεπτυνοῦσι καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ συγκόψουσι.
13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, And the young men and the old, together; For I will turn their mourning to joy, Will comfort them, And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
13 καὶ καταισχυνθήσεται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ Χαμώς, ὥσπερ κατῃσχύνθη οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βαιθὴλ ἐλπίδος αὐτῶν πεποιθότες ἐπ' αὐτοῖς.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.”
14 πῶς ἐρεῖτε· ἰσχυροί ἐσμεν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἰσχύων εἰς τὰ πολεμικά;
15 Thus says the LORD: “A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted for her children, Because they are no more.”
15 ὤλετο Μωὰβ πόλις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ νεανίσκοι αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς σφαγήν·
16 Thus says the LORD: “Refrain your voice from weeping, And your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD, And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
16 ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Μωὰβ ἐλθεῖν, καὶ πονηρία αὐτοῦ ταχεῖα σφόδρα.
17 There is hope in your future, says the LORD, That your children shall come back to their own border.
17 κινήσατε αὐτῷ, πάντες κυκλόθεν αὐτοῦ, πάντες εἰδότες ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε· πῶς συνετρίβη βακτηρία εὐκλεής, ράβδος μεγαλώματος;
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, Like an untrained bull; Restore me, and I will return, For You are the LORD my God.
18 κατάβηθι ἀπὸ δόξης καὶ κάθισον ἐν ὑγρασίᾳ, καθημένη Δαιβών· ἐκτριβήσεται, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ, ἀνέβη εἰς σὲ λυμαινόμενος ὀχύρωμά σου.
19 Surely, after my turning, I repented; And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh; I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated, Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
19 ἐφ' ὁδοῦ στῆθι καὶ ἔπιδε, καθημένη ἐν Ἀροήρ, καὶ ἐρώτησον φεύγοντα καὶ σῳζόμενον καὶ εἰπόν· τί ἐγένετο;
20 Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a pleasant child? For though I spoke against him, I earnestly remember him still; Therefore My heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says the LORD.
20 κατῃσχύνθη Μωάβ, ὅτι συνετρίβη· ὀλόλυξον καὶ κέκραξον, ἀνάγγειλον ἐν Ἀρνών, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ·
21 “Set up signposts, Make landmarks; Set your heart toward the highway, The way in which you went. Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these your cities.
21 καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν γῆν Μεισὼρ ἐπὶ Χελὼν καὶ Ρεφὰς καὶ Μωφὰθ
22 How long will you gad about, O you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth— A woman shall encompass a man.”
22 καὶ ἐπὶ Δαιβὼν καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Δαιβλαθαὶμ
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, O home of justice, and mountain of holiness!’
23 καὶ ἐπὶ Καριαθαὶμ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Γαιμὼλ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Μαὼν
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks.
24 καὶ ἐπὶ Καριὼθ καὶ ἐπὶ Βοσὸρ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Μωὰβ τὰς πόρρω καὶ τὰς ἐγγύς.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
25 κατεάχθη κέρας Μωάβ, καὶ τὸ ἐπίχειρον αὐτοῦ συνετρίβη.
26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.
26 μεθύσατε αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη· καὶ ἐπικρούσει Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται εἰς γέλωτα καὶ αὐτός.
27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.
27 καὶ εἰ μὴ εἰς γελοιασμὸν ἦν σοι Ἰσραήλ; ἢ ἐν κλοπαῖς σου εὑρέθη, ὅτι ἐπολέμεις αὐτόν;
28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the LORD.
28 κατέλιπον τὰς πόλεις καὶ ᾤκησαν ἐν πέτραις οἱ κατοικοῦντες Μωάβ, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ περιστεραί νοσσεύουσαι ἐν πέτραις στόματι βοθύνου.
29 In those days they shall say no more: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
29 ἤκουσα ὕβριν Μωάβ, ὕβρισε λίαν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
30 ἐγὼ δὲ ἔγνων ἔργα αὐτοῦ· οὐχὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησε.
31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
31 διὰ τοῦτο ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ὀλολύζετε πάντοθεν, βοήσατε ἐπ' ἄνδρας κειράδας αὐχμοῦ·
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD.
32 ὡς κλαυθμὸν Ἰαζὴρ ἀποκλαύσομαί σοι, ἄμπελος Σεβημά, κλήματά σου διῆλθε θάλασσαν, Ἰαζὴρ ἥψαντο· ἐπὶ ὀπώραν σου, ἐπὶ τρυγηταῖς σου ὄλεθρος ἐπέπεσε.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
33 συνεψήθη χαρμοσύνη καὶ εὐφροσύνη ἐκ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος καὶ οἶνος ἦν ἐπὶ ληνοῖς σου· πρωΐ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν οὐδὲ δείλης, οὐκ ἐποίησαν αἰδάδ.
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
34 ἀπὸ κραυγῆς Ἐσεβὼν ἕως Ἐλεαλὴ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Ζογὸρ ἕως Ὠρωναὶμ καὶ Ἀγλάθ-Σαλισία, ὅτι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ Νεβρεὶν εἰς κατάκαυμα ἔσται.
35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name):
35 καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ἀναβαίνοντα ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν καὶ θυμιῶντα θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.
36 “If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the LORD, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever.”
36 διὰ τοῦτο καρδία μου, Μωάβ, ὥσπερ αὐλοὶ βομβήσουσι, καρδία μου ἐπ' ἀνθρώπους κειράδας ὥσπερ αὐλὸς βομβήσει· διὰ τοῦτο ἃ περιεποιήσατο, ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου.
37 Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD.
37 πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ξυρηθήσονται, καὶ πᾶς πώγων ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες κόψονται, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσης ὀσφύος σάκκος.
38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that the city shall be built for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
38 καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν δωμάτων Μωὰβ καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ὅτι συνέτριψα τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ὡς ἀγγεῖον, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ.
39 The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath.
39 πῶς κατήλλαξε; πῶς ἔστρεψε νῶτον Μωάβ; ᾐσχύνθη καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ εἰς γέλωτα καὶ ἐγκότημα πᾶσι τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
40 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος·
41 ἐλήφθη Ἀκκαριώθ, καὶ τὰ ὀχυρώματα συνελήφθη·
42 καὶ ἀπολεῖται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ ὄχλου, ὅτι ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη.
43 παγὶς καὶ φόβος καὶ βόθυνος ἐπὶ σοί, καθήμενος Μωάβ·
44 ὁ φεύγων ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ φόβου ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς τὸν βόθυνον, καὶ ὁ ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ βοθύνου συλληφθήσεται ἐν τῇ παγίδι, ὅτι ἐπάξω ταῦτα ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῆς.
