LXX
1
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
Ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων, ὅλη ψευδὴς, ἀδικίας πλήρης, οὐ ψηλαφηθήσεται θήρα.
2
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
Φωνὴ μαστίγων, καὶ φωνὴ σεισμοῦ τροχῶν, καὶ ἵππου διώκοντος, καὶ ἅρματος ἀναβράσσοντος,
3
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
καὶ ἱππέως ἀναβαίνοντος, καὶ στιλβούσης ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἐξαστραπτόντων ὅπλων, καὶ πλήθους τραυματιῶν, καὶ βαρείας πτώσεως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας·
4
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
πόρνη καλὴ, καὶ ἐπίχαρις ἡγουμένη φαρμάκων, ἡ πωλοῦσα ἔθνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ λαοὺς ἐν τοῖς φαρμάκοις αὐτῆς.
5
Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ δείξω ἔθνεσι τὴν αἰσχύνην σου, καὶ βασιλείαις τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου.
6
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
Καὶ ἐπιῤῥίψω ἐπὶ σὲ βδελυγμὸν κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας σου, καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς παράδειγμα.
7
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
Καὶ ἔσται, πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε καταβήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐρεῖ, δειλαία Νινευή· τίς στενάξει αὐτήν; πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ;
8
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
Ἑτοιμασὰι μερίδα, ἁρμόσαι χορδὴν, ἑτοιμάσαι μερίδα Ἀμμών· ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς, ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα, καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς,
9
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
καὶ Αἰθιοπία ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ Αἴγυπτος· καὶ οὐκ ἔστη πέρας τῆς φυγῆς· καὶ Λίβυες ἐγένοντο βοηθοὶ αὐτῆς.
10
Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Καὶ αὐτὴ εἰς μετοικεσίαν πορεύσεται αἰχμάλωτος καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐδαφιοῦσιν ἐπʼ ἀρχὰς πασῶν τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς βαλοῦσι κλήρους· καὶ πάντες οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς δεθήσονται χειροπέδαις.
11
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
Καὶ σὺ μεθυσθήσῃ, καὶ ἔσῃ ὑπερεωραμένη, καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῇ στάσιν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν.
12
All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Πάντα τὰ ὀχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι· ἐὰν σαλευθῶσι, πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἔσθοντος.
13
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
Ἰδοὺ ὁ λαός σου ὡς γυναῖκες ἐν σοὶ, τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἀνοιγόμεναι ἀνοιχθήσονται πύλαι τῆς γῆς σου, καταφάγεται πῦρ τοὺς μοχλούς σου.
14
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
Ὕδωρ περιοχῆς ἐπίσπασαι σεαυτῇ, καὶ κατακράτησον τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων σου· ἔμβηθι εἰς πηλὸν, καὶ συμπατήθητι ἐν ἀχύροις, κατακράτησον ὑπὲρ πλίνθον.
15
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
Ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ, ἐξολοθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία, καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρὶς, καὶ βαρυνθήσῃ ὡς βροῦχος.
16
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
Ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἐμπορίας σου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· βροῦχος ὥρμησε, καὶ ἐξεπετάσθη.
17
Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Ἐξήλατο ὡς ἀττέλεβος ὁ σύμμικτός σου, ὡς ἀκρὶς ἐπιβεβηκυῖα ἐπὶ φραγμὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πάγους· ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλε, καὶ ἀφήλατο, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς· οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς.
18
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
Ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ποιμένες σου, βασιλεὺς Ἀσσύριος ἐκοίμισε τοὺς δυνάστας σου, ἀπῇρεν ὁ λαός σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκδεχόμενος.
19
There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις τῇ συντριβῇ σου, ἐφλέγμανεν ἡ πληγή σου, πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες τὴν ἀγγελίαν σου κροτήσουσι χεῖρας ἐπὶ σέ· διότι ἐπὶ τίνα οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἡ κακία σου διαπαντός;
