For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι εἰσὶν ἐν Τάνει ἀρχηγοὶ ἄγγελοι πονηροί.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Isaiah
In vain shall they labour [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a shame and reproach.
Greek · SeptuagintΜάτην κοπιάσουσι πρὸς λαὸν, ὃς οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτοὺς εἰς βοήθειαν, ἀλλὰ εἰς αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος. Ἡ ὍΡΑΣΙΣ ΤΩΝ ΤΕΤΡΑΠΟΔΩΝ ΤΩΝ ἘΝ ΤΗ ἘΡΗΜΩ.
The Vision of the Quadrupeds in the Desert. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τῇ θλίψει καὶ τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ, λέων καὶ σκύμνος λέοντος, ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἀσπίδες, καὶ ἔκγονα ἀσπίδων πετομένων, οἳ ἔφερον ἐπὶ ὄνων καὶ καμήλων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν πρὸς ἔθνος, ὃ οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτούς.
The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
Greek · SeptuagintΑἰγύπτιοι μάταια καὶ κενὰ ὠφελήσουσιν ὑμᾶς· ἀπάγγειλον αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ματαία ἡ παράκλησις ὑμῶν αὕτη.
Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν οὖν καθίσας γράψον ἐπὶ πυξίου ταῦτα καὶ εἰς βιβλίον, ὅτι ἔσται εἰς ἡμέρας ταῦτα καιρῷ, καὶ ἕως εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ὁ λαὸς ἀπειθής ἐστιν, υἱοὶ ψευδεῖς, οἳ οὐκ ἠβούλοντο ἀκούειν τὸν νόμον τοῦ Θεοῦ·
who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ λέγοντες τοῖς προφήταις, μὴ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμῖν, καὶ τοῖς τὰ ὁράματα ὁρῶσι, μὴ λαλεῖτε ἡμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἡμῖν λαλεῖτε καὶ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμῖν ἑτέραν πλάνησιν,
and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀποστρέψατε ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ταύτης· ἀφέλετε ἀφʼ ἡμῶν τὸν τρίβον τοῦτον, καὶ ἀφέλετε ἀφʼ ἡμῶν τὸ λόγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because thou hast murmured, and been confident in this respect:
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἠπειθήσατε τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις, καὶ ἠλπίσατε ἐπὶ ψεύδει, καὶ ὅτι ἐγόγγυσας, καὶ πεποιθὼς ἐγένου ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ,
therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.
Greek · Septuagintδιατοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν ἡ ἁμαρτία αὕτη, ὡς τεῖχος πίπτον παραχρῆμα πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς ἑαλωκυίας, ἧς παραχρῆμα πάρεστι τὸ πτῶμα·
And the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that thou shouldest not find among them a sherd, with which thou mightest take up fire, and with which thou shouldest draw a little water.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τὸ πτῶμα αὐτῆς ἔσται ὡς σύντριμμα ἀγγείου ὀστρακίνου, ἐκ κεραμίου λεπτὰ, ὥστε μὴ εὑρεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὄστρακον, ἐν ᾧ πῦρ ἀρεῖς, καὶ ἐν ᾧ ἀποσυριεῖς ὕδωρ μικρόν.
Thus saith the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When thou shalt turn and mourn, then thou shalt be saved; and thou shalt know where thou wast, when thou didst trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet ye would not hearken:
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτω λέγει Κύριος, Κύριος ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅταν ἀποστραφεὶς στενάξῃς, τότε σωθήσῃ, καὶ γνώσῃ ποῦ ἦσθα, ὅτε ἐπεποίθεις ἐπὶ τοῖς ματαίοις, ματαία ἡ ἰσχὺς ὑμῶν ἐγενήθη· καὶ οὐκ ἠβούλεσθε ἀκούειν,
but ye said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Greek · Septuagintἀλλʼ εἴπατε, ἐφʼ ἵππων φευξόμεθα· διατοῦτο φεύξεσθε· καὶ ἐπὶ κούφοις ἀναβάταις ἐσόμεθα· διατοῦτο κοῦφοι ἔσονται οἱ διώκοντες ὑμᾶς.
A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until ye be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon a hill.
Greek · SeptuagintΧίλιοι διὰ φωνὴν ἑνὸς φεύξονται, καὶ διὰ φωνὴν πέντε φεύξονται πολλοί, ἕως ἂν καταλειφθῆτε ὡς ἱστὸς ἐπʼ ὄρους, καὶ ὡς σημαῖαν φέρων ἐπὶ βουνοῦ.
And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πάλιν μενεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ διατοῦτο ὑψωθήσεται τοῦ ἐλεῆσαι ὑμᾶς· διότι κριτὴς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν· μακάριοι οἱ ἐμμένοντες ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.
For the holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity thee: when he perceived the voice of thy cry, he hearkened to thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι λαὸς ἅγιος ἐν Σιὼν οἰκήσει· καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ κλαυθμῷ ἔκλαυσεν, ἐλέησόν με· ἐλεήσει σε, τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κραυγῆς σου ἡνίκα εἶδεν, ἐπήκουσέ σου.
And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause thee to err shall no more at all draw nigh to thee; for thine eyes shall see those that cause thee to err,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ δώσει Κύριος ὑμῖν ἄρτον θλίψεως, καὶ ὕδωρ στενὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι μὴ ἐγγίσωσί σοι οἱ πλανῶντές σε· ὅτι οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται τοὺς πλανῶντάς σε,
and thine ears shall hear the words of them that went after thee to lead thee astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τὰ ὦτά σου ἀκούσονται τοὺς λόγους τῶν ὀπίσω σε πλανησάντων, οἱ λέγοντες, αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς, πορευθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ, εἴτε δεξιὰ εἴτε ἀριστερά.
And thou shalt pollute the plated idols, and thou shalt grind to powder the gilt ones, and shalt scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and thou shalt thrust them forth as dung.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μιανεῖς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ περιηργυρωμένα, καὶ περικεχρυσωμένα λεπτὰ ποιήσῃς, καὶ λικμήσῃς ὡς ὕδωρ ἀποκαθημένης, καὶ ὡς κόπρον ὤσεις αὐτά.
Then shall there be rain to the seed of thy land; and the bread of the fruit of thy land shall be plenteous and rich: and thy cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε ἔσται ὁ ὑετὸς τῷ σπέρματι τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ ὁ ἄρτος τοῦ γενήματος τῆς γῆς σου ἔσται πλησμονὴ καὶ λιπαρός· καὶ βοσκηθήσεταί σου τὰ κτήνη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τόπον πίονα καὶ εὐρύχωρον.
Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ ταῦροι ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ βόες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν γῆν, φάγονται ἄχυρα ἀναπεποιημένα ἐν κριθῇ λελικμημένῃ.
And there shall be upon every lofty mountain and upon every high hill, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall fall.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ παντὸς ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ παντὸς βουνοῦ μετεώρου ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅταν ἀπόλωνται πολλοὶ, καὶ ὅταν πέσωσι πύργοι.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of thy wound.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται τὸ φῶς τῆς σελήνης ὡς τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου ἔσται ἑπταπλάσιον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρα, ὅταν ἰάσηται Κύριος τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὀδύνην τῆς πληγῆς σου ἰάσεται.
Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as fire.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἔρχεται διὰ χρόνου, καιόμενος θυμός· μετὰ δόξης τὸ λόγιον τῶν χειλέων αὐτοῦ, λόγιον ὀργῆς πλῆρες, καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ ὡς πῦρ ἔδεται.
And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ὡς ὕδωρ ἐν φάραγγι σὺρον, ἥξει ἕως τοῦ τραχήλου, καὶ διαιρεθήσεται, τοῦ ταράξαι ἔθνη ἐπὶ πλανήσει ματαίᾳ, καὶ διώξεται αὐτοὺς πλάνησις, καὶ λήψεται αὐτοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.
Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel?
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ διαπαντὸς δεῖ ὑμᾶς εὐφραίνεσθαι, καὶ εἰσπορεύεσθαι εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου διαπαντὸς, ὡσεὶ ἑορτάζοντας, καὶ ὡσεὶ εὐφραινομένους εἰσελθεῖν μετὰ αὐλοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος Κυρίου πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;
And the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀκουστὴν ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν δόξαν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ, δεῖξαι μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς, καὶ φλογὸς κατεσθιούσης, κεραυνώσει βιαίως, καὶ ὡς ὕδωρ καὶ χάλαζα συγκαταφερομένη βίᾳ.
For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall smite them.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ γὰρ τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου ἡττηθήσονται Ἀσσύριοι, τῇ πληγῇ ᾗ ἂν πατάξῃ αὐτούς.
And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν, ὅθεν ἦν αὐτῶν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς βοηθείας, ἐφʼ ᾗ αὐτὸς ἐπεποίθει, αὐτοὶ μετὰ τυμπάνων καὶ κιθάρας πολεμήσουσιν αὐτὸν ἐκ μεταβολῆς.
For thou shalt be required before [thy] time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for thee] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ γὰρ πρὸ ἡμερῶν ἀπαιτηθήσῃ· μὴ καί σοὶ ἡτοιμάσθη βασιλεύειν; φάραγγα βαθείαν, ξύλα κείμενα, πῦρ καὶ ξύλα πολλὰ, ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ὡς φάραγξ ὑπὸ θείου καιομένη.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses and chariots, for they are many; and in horses, [which are] a great multitude; and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν, οἱ ἐφʼ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφʼ ἅρμασιν, ἔστι γὰρ πολλὰ, καὶ ἐφʼ ἵπποις πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν·
Therefore he has wisely brought evils upon them, and his word shall not be frustrated; and he shall rise up against the houses of wicked men, and against their vain hope,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ αὐτὸς σοφῶς ἦγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κακά, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀθετηθῇ, καὶ ἐπαναστήσεται ἐπʼ οἴκους ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν τὴν ματαίαν,
[even] an Egyptian, a man, and not God; the flesh of horses, and there is no help [in them]: but the Lord shall bring his hand upon them, and the helpers shall fail, and all shall perish together.
Greek · SeptuagintΑἰγύπτιον, ἄνθρωπον καὶ οὐ Θεὸν, ἵππων σάρκας, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι βοήθεια· ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐπάξει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτούς· καὶ κοπιάσουσιν οἱ βοηθοῦντες, καὶ ἅμα πάντες ἀπολοῦνται.
For thus said the Lord to me, As a lion would roar, or a lion's whelp over prey which he has taken, and cry over it, until the mountains are filled with his voice, and [the animals] are awe-struck and tremble at the fierceness of his wrath: so the Lord of hosts shall descend to fight upon the mount Sion, [even] upon her mountains.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπέ μοι Κύριος, ὃν τρόπον βοήσῃ ὁ λέων, ἢ ὁ σκύμνος ἐπὶ τῇ θήρᾳ ᾗ ἔλαβε, καὶ κεκράξῃ ἐπʼ αὐτῇ, ἕως ἂν ἐμπλησθῇ τὰ ὄρη τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡττήθησαν, καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐπτοήθησαν, οὕτως καταβήσεται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐπιστρατεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σιὼν, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη αὐτῆς.
As birds flying, so shall the Lord of hosts defend; he shall defend Jerusalem, and he shall rescue, and save and deliver.
Greek · SeptuagintὩς ὄρνεα πετόμενα, οὕτως ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος σαβαὼθ, ὑπὲρ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὑπερασπιεῖ, καὶ ἐξελεῖται, καὶ περιποιήσεται, καὶ σώσει.
Turn, ye children of Israel, who devise a deep and sinful counsel.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπιστράφητε οἱ τὴν βαθείαν βουλὴν βουλευόμενοι καὶ ἄνομον, υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ.
For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and [their] golden idols, which their hands made.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπαρνήσονται οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῶν τὰ ἀργυρᾶ, καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα τὰ χρυσᾶ, ἃ ἐποίησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν.
And the Assyrian shall fall: not the sword of a great man, nor the sword of a mean man shall devour him; neither shall he flee from the face of the sword: but the young men shall be overthrown:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πεσεῖται Ασσούρ· οὐ μάχαιρα ἀνδρὸς, οὐδὲ μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου καταφάγεται αὐτὸν, καὶ φεύξεται οὐκ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας· οἱ δὲ νεανίσκοι ἔσονται εἰς ἥττημα,
for they shall be compassed with rocks as with a trench, and shall be worsted; and he that flees shall be taken. Thus saith the Lord, Blessed is he that has a seed in Sion, and household friends in Jerusalem.
Greek · Septuagintπέτρᾳ γὰρ περιληφθήσονται ὡς χάρακι, καὶ ἡττηθήσονται, ὁ δὲ φεύγων ἁλώσεται· τάδε λέγει Κύριος, μακάριος ὃς ἔχει ἐν Σιὼν σπέρμα, καὶ οἰκείους ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ γὰρ βασιλεὺς δίκαιος βασιλεύσει, καὶ ἄρχοντες μετὰ κρίσεως ἄρξουσι.
And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται ὁ ἄνθρωπος κρύπτων τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ κρυβήσεται, ὡς ἀφʼ ὕδατος φερομένου· καὶ φανήσεται ἐν Σειὼν ὡς ποταμὸς φερόμενος ἔνδοξος ἐν γῇ διψώσῃ.
And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται πεποιθότες ἐπʼ ἀνθρώποις, ἀλλὰ τὰ ὦτα ἀκούειν δώσουσι.
And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἡ καρδία τῶν ἀσθενούντων προσέξει τῷ ἀκούειν, καὶ αἱ γλῶσσαι αἱ ψελλίζουσαι ταχὺ μαθήσονται λαλεῖν εἰρήνην.
And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσι τῷ μωρῷ ἄρχειν, καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσιν οἱ ὑπηρέται σου, σίγα.
For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ γὰρ μωρὸς μωρὰ λαλήσει, καὶ ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ μάταια νοήσει, τοῦ συντελεῖν ἄνομα, καὶ λαλεῖν πρὸς Κύριον πλάνησιν, τοῦ διασπεῖραι ψυχὰς πεινώσας, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τὰς διψώσας κενὰς ποιήσει.
For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ γὰρ βουλὴ τῶν πονηρῶν ἄνομα βουλεύσεται, καταφθεῖραι ταπεινοὺς ἐν λόγοις ἀδίκοις, καὶ διασκεδάσαι λόγους ταπεινῶν ἐν κρίσει.
But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ δὲ εὐσεβεῖς συνετὰ ἐβουλεύσαντο, καὶ αὕτη ἡ βουλὴ μενεῖ.
Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words.
Greek · SeptuagintΓυναῖκες πλούσιαι ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου· θυγατέρες ἐν ἐλπίδι εἰσακούσατε λόγους μου.
Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off, it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
Greek · SeptuagintἩμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ μνείαν ποιήσασθε ἐν ὀδύνῃ μετʼ ἐλπίδος· ἀνήλωται ὁ τρυγητὸς, πέπαυται, οὐκέτι μὴ ἔλθῃ.
Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
Greek · SeptuagintἜκστητε, λυπήθητε αἱ πεποιθυῖαι, ἐκδύσασθε, γυμναὶ γένεσθε, περιζώσασθε τὰς ὀσφῦας,
and beat on your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπὶ τῶν μαστῶν κόπτεσθε, ἀπὸ ἀγροῦ ἐπιθυμήματος, καὶ ἀμπέλου γεννήματος.
[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ γῆ τοῦ λαοῦ μου, ἄκανθα καὶ χόρτος ἀναβήσεται, καὶ ἐκ πάσης οἰκίας εὐφροσύνη ἀρθήσεται.
[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
Greek · SeptuagintΠόλις πλουσία, οἶκοι ἐγκαταλελειμμένοι πλοῦτον πόλεως ἀφήσουσιν, οἴκους ἐπιθυμήματος· καὶ ἔσονται αἱ κῶμαι σπήλαια ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος, εὐφροσύνη ὄνων ἀγρίων, βοσκήματα ποιμένων,
until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.
Greek · Septuagintἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς πνεῦμα ἀφʼ ὑψηλοῦ· καὶ ἔσται ἔρημος ὁ Χέρμελ, καὶ ὁ Χέρμελ εἰς δρυμὸν λογισθήσεται.
Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναπαύσεται ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ κρίμα, καὶ δικαιοσύνη ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ κατοικήσει.
And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται τὰ ἔργα τῆς δικαιοσύνης, εἰρήνη· καὶ κρατήσει ἡ δικαιοσύνη ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ πεποιθότες ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατοικήσει ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει εἰρήνης, καὶ ἐνοικήσει πεποιθὼς, καὶ ἀναπαύσονται μετὰ πλούτου.
And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ δὲ χάλαζα ἐὰν καταβῇ, οὐκ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἥξει· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς πεποιθότες, ὡς οἱ ἐν τῷ πεδινῇ.
Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
Greek · SeptuagintΜακάριοι οἱ σπείροντες ἐπὶ πᾶν ὕδωρ, οὗ βοῦς καὶ ὄνος πατεῖ.
Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐαὶ τοῖς ταλαιπωροῦσιν ὑμᾶς, ὑμᾶς δὲ οὐδεὶς ποιεῖ ταλαιπώρους, καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς οὐκ ἀθετεῖ· ἁλώσονται οἱ ἀθετοῦντες, καὶ παραδοθήσονται, καὶ ὡς σὴς ἐφʼ ἱματίου, οὕτως ἡττηθήσονται.
Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in thee: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
Greek · SeptuagintΚύριε ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, ἐπὶ σοὶ γὰρ πεποίθαμεν· ἐγενήθη τὸ σπέρμα τῶν ἀπειθούντων εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ἡ δὲ σωτηρία ἡμῶν ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως.
By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of thee, and the heathen were scattered.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ φωνὴν τοῦ φόβου ἐξέστησαν λαοὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου σου, καὶ διεσπάρησαν τὰ ἔθνη.
And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν δὲ συναχθήσεται τὰ σκῦλα ὑμῶν μικροῦ καὶ μεγάλου· ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀκρίδας, οὕτως ἐμπαίξουσιν ὑμῖν.
The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgment and righteousness.
Greek · SeptuagintἍγιος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν ὑψηλῷ, ἔνεπλήσθη Σιὼν κρίσεως καὶ δικαιοσύνης.
They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety toward the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν νόμῳ παραδοθήσονται, ἐν θησαυροῖς ἡ σωτηρία ἡμῶν, ἐκεῖ σοφία καὶ ἐπιστήμη καὶ εὐσέβεια πρὸς τὸν κύριον· οὗτοί εἰσι θησαυροὶ δικαιοσύνης.
Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom ye feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ δὴ ἐν τῷ φόβῳ ὑμῶν οὗτοι φοβηθήσονται· οὓς ἐφοβεῖσθε, βοήσονται ἀφʼ ὑμῶν· ἄγγελοι ἀποσταλήσονται, πικρῶς κλαίοντες, παρακαλοῦντες εἰρήνην.
For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and ye shall by no means deem them men.
Greek · SeptuagintἘρημωθήσονται γὰρ αἱ τούτων ὁδοί· πέπαυται ὁ φόβος τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἡ πρὸς τούτους διαθήκη αἴρεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ λογίσησθε αὐτοὺς ἀνθρώπους.
The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπένθησεν ἡ γῆ, ᾐσχύνθη ὁ Λίβανος, ἕλη ἐγένετο ὁ Σάρων· φανερὰ ἔσται ἡ Γαλιλαία, καὶ ὁ Χέρμελ.
Now will I arise, saith the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν ἀναστήσομαι, λέγει Κύριος, νῦν δοξασθήσομαι, νῦν ὑψωθήσομαι.
Now shall ye see, now shall ye perceive; the strength of your breath shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν ὄψεσθε, νῦν αἰσθηθήσεσθε, ματαία ἔσται ἡ ἰσχὺς τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν· πῦρ κατέδεται ὑμᾶς.
And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσονται ἔθνη κατακεκαυμένα, ὡς ἄκανθα ἐν ἀγρῷ ἐῤῥιμμένη καὶ κατακεκαυμένη.
They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw nigh shall know my strength.
Greek · SeptuagintἈκούσονται οἱ πόῤῥωθεν ἃ ἐποίησα, γνώσονται οἱ ἐγγίζοντες τὴν ἰσχύν μου.
The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
Greek · SeptuagintἈπέστησαν οἱ ἐν Σιὼν ἄνομοι, λήψεται τρόμος τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς· τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν, ὅτι πῦρ καίεται; τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν τὸν τόπον τὸν αἰώνιον;
He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgment of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice;
Greek · SeptuagintΠορευόμενος ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, λαλῶν εὐθεῖαν ὁδόν, μισῶν ἀνομίαν καὶ ἀδικίαν, καὶ τὰς χεῖρας ἀποσειόμενος ἀπὸ δώρων· βαρύνων τὰ ὦτα, ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσῃ κρίσιν αἵματος· καμμύων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς, ἵνα μὴ ἴδῃ ἀδικίαν,
he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
Greek · Septuagintοὗτος οἰκήσει ἐν ὑψηλῷ σπηλαίῳ πέτρας ἰσχυρᾶς· ἄρτος αὐτῷ δοθήσεται, καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτοῦ πιστόν.
Ye shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
Greek · SeptuagintΒασιλέα μετὰ δόξης ὄψεσθε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ὄψονται γῆν πόῤῥωθεν,
Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counsellors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
Greek · Septuagintἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν μελετήσει φόβον· ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ γραμματικοί; ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ συμβουλεύοντες; ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ ἀριθμῶν τοὺς τρεφομένους
[even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
Greek · Septuagintμικρὸν καὶ μέγαν λαόν; ᾧ οὐ συνεβουλεύσατο, οὐσὲ ᾔδει βαθύφωνον, ὥστε μὴ ἀκοῦσαι λαὸς πεφαυλισμένος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι τῷ ἀκούοντι σύνεσις.
Behold the city Sion, our refuge: thine eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ Σιὼν ἡ πόλις, τὸ σωτήριον ἡμῶν, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται Ἱερουσαλὴμ, πόλις πλουσία, σκηναὶ αἳ οὐ μὴ σεισθῶσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ κινηθῶσιν οἱ πάσσαλοι τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτῆς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον, οὐδὲ τὰ σχοινία αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ διαῤῥαγῶσιν·
for the name of the Lord is great to you: ye shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: thou shalt not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
Greek · Septuagintὅτι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου μέγα ὑμῖν· τόπος ὑμῖν ἔσται, ποταμοὶ καὶ διώρυχες πλατεῖς καὶ εὐρύχωροι· οὐ πορεύσῃ ταύτην τὴν ὁδὸν, οὐδὲ πορεύσεται πλοῖον ἐλαύνον.
For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ γὰρ Θεός μου μέγας ἐστίν· οὐ παρελεύσεταί με Κύριος κριτὴς ἡμῶν, Κύριος ἄρχων ἡμῶν, Κύριος βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν, Κύριος οὗτος ἡμᾶς σώσει.
Thy cords are broken, for they had no strength: thy mast has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
Greek · SeptuagintἘῤῥάγησαν τὰ σχοινία σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνίσχυσαν· ὁ ἱστός σου ἔκλινεν, οὐ χαλάσει τὰ ἱστία, οὐκ ἀρεῖ σημεῖον, ἕως οὗ παραδοθῇ εἰς προνομήν· τοίνυν πολλοὶ χωλοὶ προνομὴν ποιήσουσι,
And the people dwelling among them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ οὐ μὴ εἴπωσι, Κοπιῶ ὁ λαὸς ἐνοικῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ἀφεθῆ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἡ ἁμαρτία.
Draw near, ye nations; and hearken, ye princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein.
Greek · SeptuagintΠροσαγάγετε ἔθνη, καὶ ἀκούσατε ἄρχοντες· ἀκουσάτω ἡ γῆ, καὶ οἱ ἐν αὐτῇ, ἡ οἰκουμένη, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ ἐν αὐτῇ.
For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and [his] anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι θυμὸς Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ ὀργὴ ἐπὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἀπολέσαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς σφαγήν.
And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their [ill] savour shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ δὲ τραυματίαι αὐτῶν ῥιφήσονται, καὶ οἱ νεκροί, καὶ ἀναβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ ὀσμή, καὶ βραχήσεται τὰ ὄρη ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῶν.
And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig-tree.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τακήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν, καὶ ἑλιγήσεται ὁ οὐρανός ὡς βιβλίον, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἄστρα πεσεῖται ὡς φύλλα ἐξ ἀμπέλου, καὶ ὡς πίπτει φύλλα ἀπὸ συκῆς.
My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and with judgment upon the people doomed to destruction.
Greek · SeptuagintἘμεθύσθη ἡ μάχαιρὰ μου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ· ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν καταβήσεται, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τῆς ἀπωλείας μετὰ κρίσεως.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a great slaughter in Idumea.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ μάχαιρα τοῦ Κυρίου ἐνεπλήσθη αἵματος, ἐπαχύνθη ἀπὸ στέατος, ἀπὸ αἵματος τράγων καὶ ἀμνῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ στέατος τράγων καὶ κριῶν· ὅτι θυσία τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν Βοσὸρ, καὶ σφαγὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ.
And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συνπεσοῦνται οἱ ἁδροὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ κριοὶ καὶ οἱ ταῦροι, καὶ μεθυσθήσεται ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ στέατος αὐτῶν ἐμπλησθήσεται.
For it is the day of the judgment of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgment.
Greek · SeptuagintἩμέρα γὰρ κρίσεως Κυρίου, καὶ ἐνιαυτὸς ἀνταποδόσεως κρίσεως Σιών.
And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ στραφήσονται αἱ φάραγγες αὐτῆς εἰς πίσσαν, καὶ ἡ γῆ αὐτῆς εἰς θεῖον· καὶ ἔσται ἡ γῆ αὐτῆς ὡς πίσσα καιομένη
and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations,
Greek · Septuagintνυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ὁ καπνὸς αὐτῆς ἄνω, εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῆς ἐρημωθήσεται, καὶ εἰς χρόνον πολὺν
and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it.
Greek · Septuagintὄρνεα καὶ ἐχῖνοι, καὶ ἴβεις καὶ κόρακες κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐπιβληθήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὴν σπαρτίον γεωμετρίας ἐρήμου, καὶ ὀνοκένταυροι οἰκήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ.
Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς οὐκ ἔσονται· οἱ γὰρ βασιλεῖς καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς ἔσονται εἰς ἀπώλειαν.
And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court for ostriches.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναφυὴσει εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἀκάνθινα ξύλα, καὶ εἰς τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔσται ἐπαύλεις σειρήνων, καὶ αὐλὴ στρουθῶν.
And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves [a place of] rest.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συναντήσουσι δαιμόνια ὀνοκενταύροις, καὶ βοήσονται ἕτερος πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον, ἐκεῖ ἀναπαύσονται ὀνοκένταυροι, εὑρόντες αὑτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν.
There has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκεῖ ἐνόσσευσεν ἐχῖνος, καὶ ἔσωσεν ἡ γῆ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς μετὰ ἀσφαλείας· ἐκεῖ συνήντησαν ἔλαφοι καὶ εἶδον τὰ πρόσωπα ἀλλήλων.
They passed by in [full] number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit gathered them.
Greek · SeptuagintἈριθμῷ παρῆλθον, καὶ μία αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπώλετο· ἑτέρα τὴν ἑτέραν οὐκ ἐζήτησαν, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῖς ἐνετείλατο, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ συνήγαγεν αὐτά.
And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], Ye shall inherit [the land] for ever: they shall rest on it [through] all generations.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιβαλεῖ αὐτοῖς κλήρους, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ διεμέρισε βόσκεσθαι· εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον κληρονομήσετε, γενεὰς γενεῶν ἀναπαύσονται ἐπʼ αὐτῆς.
