1
Περιδράμετε ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ γνῶτε, καὶ ζητήσατε ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ἐὰν εὕρητε, εἰ ἔστι ποιῶν κρίμα, καὶ ζητῶν πίστιν· καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς, λέγει Κύριος.
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2
Ζῇ Κύριος, λέγουσι, διατοῦτο οὐκ ἐν ψεύδεσιν ὀμνύουσι;
And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3
Κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς πίστιν· ἐμαστίγωσας αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν, συνετέλεσας αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν δέξασθαι παιδείαν· ἐστερέωσαν τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ πέτραν, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐπιστραφῆναι.
O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4
Καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα, ἴσως πτωχοί εἰσι, διότι οὐκ ἐδυνάσθησαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, καὶ κρίσιν Θεοῦ.
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
5
Πορεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς ἁδροὺς, καὶ λαλήσω αὐτοῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, καὶ κρίσιν Θεοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοθυμαδὸν συνέτριψαν ζυγὸν, διέῤῥηξαν δεσμούς.
I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6
Διατοῦτο ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς λέων ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ, καὶ λύκος ἕως τῶν οἰκιῶν ὠλόθρευσεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ πάρδαλις ἐγρηγόρησεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· πάντες οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι ἀπʼ αὐτῶν θηρευθήσονται, ὅτι ἐπλήθυναν ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν, ἴσχυσαν ἐν ταῖς ἀποστροφαῖς αὐτῶν.
Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7
Ποίᾳ τούτων ἵλεως γένωμαί σοι; οἱ υἱοί σου ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ὤμνυον ἐν τοῖς οὐκ οὖσι θεοῖς· καὶ ἐχόρτασα αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο, καὶ ἐν οἴκοις πορνῶν κατέλυον.
How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8
Ἵπποι θηλυμανεῖς ἐγενήθησαν, ἕκαστος ἐπὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐχρεμέτιζον.
They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9
Μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι; λέγει Κύριος· ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου;
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10
Ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς προμαχῶνας αὐτῆς, καὶ κατασκάψατε, συντέλειαν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε· ὑπολίπεσθε τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα αὐτῆς, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσίν.
Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord’s.
11
Ὅτι ἀθετῶν ἠθέτησεν εἰς ἐμὲ, λέγει Κύριος, οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἶκος Ἰούδα
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12
ἐψεύσατο τῷ Κυρίῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶπαν, οὐκ ἔστι ταῦτα· οὐχ ἥξει ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς κακὰ, καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ λιμὸν οὐκ ὀψόμεθα.
They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13
Οἱ προφῆται ἡμῶν ἦσαν εἰς ἄνεμον, καὶ λόγος Κυρίου οὐχ ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14
Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐλαλήσατε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου πῦρ, καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ξύλα, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτούς.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15
Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἔθνος πόῤῥωθεν, οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, λέγει Κύριος, ἔθνος οὗ οὐκ ἀκούσει τῆς φωνῆς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ.
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16
Πάντες ἰσχυροὶ, καὶ κατέδονται τὸν θερισμὸν ὑμῶν,
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17
καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τὰ πρόβατα ὑμῶν, καὶ τοὺς μόσχους ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν, καὶ τοὺς συκῶνας ὑμῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν· καὶ ἀλοήσουσι τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ὑμῶν, ἐφʼ αἷς ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπʼ αὐταῖς, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18
Καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, οὐ μὴ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς εἰς συντέλειαν.
Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.
19
Καὶ ἔσται ὅταν εἴπητε, τίνος ἕνεκεν ἐποίησε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν πάντα ταῦτα; καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν, οὕτως δουλεύσετε ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῇ οὐχ ὑμῶν.
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20
Ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ἀκουσθήτω ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα.
Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21
Ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα λαὸς μωρὸς καὶ ἀκάρδιος, ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν, ὦτα αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσι.
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22
Μὴ ἐμὲ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε; λέγει Κύριος· ἢ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου οὐκ εὐλαβηθήσεσθε; τὸν τάξαντα ἄμμον ὅριον τῇ θαλάσσῃ, πρόσταγμα αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτὸ, καὶ ταραχθήσεται, καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται· καὶ ἠχήσουσι τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό.
Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23
Τῷ δὲ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐγενήθη καρδία ἀνήκοος καὶ ἀπειθὴς, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἀπήλθοσαν,
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24
καὶ οὐκ εἶπον ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, φοβηθῶμεν δὴ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, τὸν διδόντα ἡμῖν ὑετὸν πρώϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον, κατὰ καιρὸν πληρώσεως προστάγματος θερισμοῦ, καὶ ἐφύλαξεν ἡμῖν.
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25
Αἱ ἀνομίαι ὑμῶν ἐξέκλιναν ταῦτα, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ἀπέστησαν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26
Ὅτι εὑρέθησαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου ἀσεβεῖς, καὶ παγίδας ἔστησαν τοῦ διαφθεῖραι ἄνδρας, καὶ συνελαμβάνοσαν.
For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27
Ὡς παγὶς ἐφεσταμένη πλήρης πετεινῶν, οὕτως οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις δόλου· διατοῦτο ἐμεγαλύνθησαν, καὶ ἐπλούτησαν,
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28
καὶ παρέβησαν κρίσιν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ὀρφανοῦ, καὶ κρίσιν χήρας οὐκ ἐκρίνοσαν.
They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29
Μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι; λέγει Κύριος· ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τῷ τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου;
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30
Ἔκστασις καὶ φρικτὰ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31
Οἱ προφῆται προφητεύουσιν ἄδικα, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπεκρότησαν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαός μου ἠγάπησεν οὕτως· καὶ τί ποιήσετε εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα;
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
