Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
1 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διαμάρτυραι τῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς,
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 καὶ ἐρεῖς, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἡ ῥίζα σου καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου ἐκ γῆς Χαναάν· ὁ πατήρ σου Ἀμοῤῥαῖος, καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου Χετταία.
3 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐτέχθης, οὐκ ἔδησας τοὺς μαστοὺς σου, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι οὐκ ἐλούσθης, οὐδὲ ἁλὶ ἡλίσθης, καὶ ἐν σπαργάνοις οὐκ ἐσπαργανώθης,
4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all.
5 οὐδὲ ἐφείσατο ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ σοὶ, τοῦ ποιῆσαί σοι ἓν ἐκ πάντων τούτων, τοῦ παθεῖν τι ἐπὶ σοί· καὶ ἀπεῤῥίφης ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου τῇ σκολιότητι τῆς ψυχῆς σου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐτέχθης.
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
6 Καὶ διῆλθον ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἴδον σε πεφυρμένην ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου· καὶ εἶπά σοι, ἐκ τοῦ αἵματός σου ζωὴ,
6 “‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’
7 πληθύνου, καθὼς ἡ ἀνατολὴ τοῦ ἀγροῦ δέδωκά σε· καὶ ἐπληθύνθης καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθης, καὶ εἰσῆλθες εἰς πόλεις πόλεων· οἱ μαστοί σου ἀνωρθώθησαν, καὶ ἡ θρίξ σου ἀνέτειλε· σὺ δὲ ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα.
7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
8 Καὶ διῆλθον διὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἴδον σε· καὶ ἰδοὺ καιρός σου, καὶ καιρὸς καταλυόντων· καὶ διεπέτασα τὰς πτέρυγάς μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐκάλυψα τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην σου, καὶ ὤμοσά σοι· καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν διαθήκῃ μετὰ σοῦ, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἐγένου μοι.
8 “‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord Yahweh, “and you became mine.
9 Καὶ ἔλουσά σε ἐν ὕδατι, καὶ ἀπέπλυνα τὸ αἷμά σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἔχρισά σε ἐν ἐλαίῳ.
9 “‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Καὶ ἐνέδυσά σε ποικίλα, καὶ ὑπέδυσά σε ὑάκινθον· καὶ ἔζωσά σε βύσσῳ καὶ περιέβαλόν σε τριχαπτῳ,
10 I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 καὶ ἐκόσμησά σε κόσμῳ, καὶ περιέθηκα ψέλλια περὶ τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ κάθεμα περὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου·
11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
12 Καὶ ἔδωκα ἐνώτιον περὶ τὸν μυκτῆρά σου, καὶ τροχίσκους ἐπὶ τὰ ὦτά σου, καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου·
12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Καὶ ἐκοσμήθης χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ περιβόλαιά σου βύσσινα, καὶ τριχαπτὰ, καὶ ποικίλα· σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἔφαγες, καὶ ἐγένου καλὴ σφόδρα.
13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 Καὶ ἐξῆλθέ σου ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου, διότι συντετελεσμένον ἦν ἐν εὐπρεπείᾳ ἐν τῇ ὡραιότητι ᾗ ἔταξα ἐπὶ σὲ, λέγει Κύριος.
14 Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Κατεπεποίθεις ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου, καὶ ἐπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ ἐξέχεας τὴν πορνείαν σου ἐπὶ πάντα πάροδον·
15 “‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his.
16 Καὶ ἔλαβες ἐκ τῶν ἱματίων σου, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἴδωλα ῥαπτὰ, καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπʼ αὐτὰ, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς οὐδὲ μὴ γένηται.
16 You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be.
17 Καὶ ἔλαβες τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἀργυρίου μου, ἐξ ὧν ἔδωκά σοι, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἰκόνας ἀρσενικὰς, καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐν αὐταῖς.
17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them.
18 Καὶ ἔλαβες τὸν ἱματισμὸν τὸν ποικίλον σου, καὶ περιέβαλες αὐτὰς, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου καὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου ἔθηκας πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν.
18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Καὶ τοὺς ἄρτοὺς μου οὓς ἔδωκά σοι, σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἐψώμισά σε, καὶ ἔθηκας αὐτὰ τρὸ τροσώπου αὐτῶν εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας· καὶ ἐγένετο, λέγει Κύριος.
19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord Yahweh.
20 Καὶ ἔλαβες τοὺς υἱούς σου καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας σου ἃς ἐγέννησας, καὶ ἔθυσας αὐτοῖς εἰς ἀνάλωσιν· ὡς μικρὰ ἐξεπόρνευσας,
20 “‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 καὶ ἔσφαξας τὰ τέκνα σου, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ ἀποτροπιάζεσθαί σε αὐτὰ αὐτοῖς·
21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 Τοῦτο παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πορνείαν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθης τῆς νηπιότητός σου, ὅτε ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα, πεφυρμένη ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἔζησας.
22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ πάσας τὰς κακίας σου, λέγει Κύριος,
23 “‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord Yahweh—
24 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησας σεαυτῇ οἴκημα πορνικὸν, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ ἔκθεμα ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ,
24 “that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 καὶ ἐπʼ ἀρχῆς πάσης ὁδοῦ ᾠκοδόμησας τὰ πορνεῖά σου, καὶ ἐλυμῄνω τὸ κάλλος σου· καὶ διήγαγες τὰ σκέλη σου παντὶ παρόδῳ καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὴν πορνείαν σου,
25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Αἰγύπτου τοὺς ὁμοροῦντάς σοι τοὺς μεγαλοσάρκους, καὶ πολλαχῶς ἐξεπόρνευσας τοῦ παροργίσαι με.
26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 Ἐὰν δὲ ἐκτείνω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὰ νόμιμά σου, καὶ παραδώσω εἰς ψυχὰς μισούντων σε, θυγατέρας ἀλλοφύλων τὰς ἐκκλινούσας σε ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ σου ἧς ἠσέβησας.
27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ οὐδʼ οὕτως ἐνεπλήσθης, καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας καὶ οὐκ ἐνεπίπλω.
28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.
29 Καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς διαθήκας σου πρὸς γῆν Χαλδαίων, καὶ οὐδε ἐν τούτοις ἐνεπλήσθης.
29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
30 Τί διαθῶ τὴν θυγατέρα σου, λέγει Κύριος, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σε πάντα ταῦτα ἔργα γυναικὸς πόρνης; καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τρισσῶς ἐν ταῖς θυγατράσι σου·
30 “‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord Yahweh, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 Τὸ πορνεῖον ᾠκοδόμησας ἐν πάσῃ ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ, καὶ τὴν βάσιν σου ἐποίησας ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ· καὶ ἐγένου ὡς πόρνη συνάγουσα μισθώματα.
31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 Ἡ γυνὴ ἡ μοιχωμένη ὁμοία σοι, παρὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς λαμβάνουσα μισθώματα, πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκπορνεύσασαιν αὐτὴν προσεδίδου μισθώματα·
32 “‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 καὶ σὺ δέδωκας μισθώματα πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρασταῖς σου, καὶ ἐφόρτιζες αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἔρχεσθαι πρὸς σὲ κυκλόθεν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου.
33 People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένον παρὰ τὰς γυναῖκας ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου, καὶ μετὰ σοῦ πεπορνεύκασιν, ἐν τῷ προσδιδόναι σε μισθώματα, καὶ σοὶ μισθώματα οὐκ ἐδόθη, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένα.
34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’
35 Διατοῦτο πόρνη ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου.
35 “Therefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word:
36 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐξέχεας τὸν χαλκόν σου, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου πρὸς τοὺς ἐραστάς σου, καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἐνθυμήματα τῶν ἀνομιῶν σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς αἵμασι τῶν τέκνων σου ὧν ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς·
36 ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπισυνάγω πάντας τοὺς ἐραστάς σου ἐν οἷς ἐπεμίγης ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ πάντας οὓς ἠλάπησας, σὺν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐμίσεις, καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰς κακίας σου πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ὄψονται πᾶσαν τὴν αἰσχύνην σου,
37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 καὶ ἐκδικήσω σε ἐκδικήσει μοιχαλίδος, καὶ θήσω σε ἐν αἵματι θυμοῦ καὶ ζήλου.
38 I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 Καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ κατασκάψουσι τὸ πορνεῖόν σου, καὶ καθελοῦσι τὴν βάσιν σου, καὶ ἐκδύσουσί σε τὰ ἱμάτιά σου, καὶ λήψονται τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου· καὶ ἀφήσουσί σε γυμνὴν, καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσαν.
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 Καὶ ἄξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ὄχλους, καὶ λιθοβολήσουσί σε ἐν λίθοις, καὶ κατασφάξουσί σε ἐν τοῖς ξίφεσιν αὐτῶν.
40 They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 Καὶ ἐυπρήσουσι τοὺς οἴκους σου πυρὶ, καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ ἐκδικήσεις ἐνώπιον γυναικῶν πολλῶν· καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε ἐκ πορνείας, καὶ μισθώματα οὐ μὴ δώσω οὐκέτι.
41 They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.
42 Καὶ ἐπαφήσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται ὁ ζῆλός μου ἐκ σοῦ· καὶ ἀναπαύσομαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ μεριμνήσω οὐκέτι.
42 So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
43 Ἀνθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης τῆς νηπιότητός σου, καὶ ἐλύπεις με ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τὰς ὁδούς σου εἰς κεφαλήν σου δέδωκα, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησας τὴν ἀσέβειαν ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου.
43 “‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord Yahweh: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 Ταῦτά ἐστι πάντα ὅσα εἶπαν κατὰ σοῦ ἐν παραβολῇ, λέγοντες, καθὼς ἡ μήτηρ,
44 “‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
45 καὶ ἡ θυγάτηρ θυγάτηρ τῆς μητρός σου· σὺ εἶ ἡ ἀπωσαμένη τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀδελφαὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου αἱ ἀπωσάμεναι τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν· ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν Χετταία, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ Ἀμοῤῥαῖος.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Ἡ ἀδελφὴ ὑμῶν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα Σαμάρεια, αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς, ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐξ εὐωνύμων σου· καὶ ἡ ἀδελφή σου ἡ νεωτέρα σου, ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, Σόδομα καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς.
46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
47 Καὶ οὐδʼ ὡς ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἐπορεύθης, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐποίησας παρὰ μικρὸν, καὶ ὑπέρκεισαι αὐτὰς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου.
47 Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 Ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, εἰ πεποίηκε Σόδομα αὕτη καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησας σὺ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου.
48 As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Πλὴν τοῦτο τὸ ἀνόμημα Σοδόμων τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου, ὑπερηφανία, ἐν πλησμονῇ ἄρτων καὶ ἐν εὐθηνίᾳ ἐσπατάλων αὕτη καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς· τοῦτο ὑπῆρχεν αὐτῇ καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ χεῖρα πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο.
49 “‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Καὶ ἐμεγαλαύχουν, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀνομήματα ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἐξῇρα αὐτὰς καθὼς ἴδον.
50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51 Καὶ Σαμάρεια κατὰ τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου οὐχ ἥμαρτε· καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἀνομίας σου ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς, καὶ ἐδικαίωσας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου αἷς ἐποίησας.
51 Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 Καὶ σὺ κόμισαι βάσανόν σου, ἐν ᾗ ἔφθειρας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις σου αἷς ἠνόμησας ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς, καὶ ἐδικαίωσας αὐτὰς ὑπὲρ σεαυτήν· καὶ σὺ αἰσχύνθητι, καὶ λάβε τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου ἐν τῷ δικαιῶσαί σε τὰς ἀδελφάς σου.
52 You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὰς ἀποστροφὰς αὐτῶν, τὴν ἀποστροφὴν Σοδόμων καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποστροφὴν Σαμαρείας καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποστροφήν σου ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν·
53 “‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them;
54 Ὅπως κομίσῃ τὴν βάσανόν σου, καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἐκ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησας ἐν τῷ παροργίσαι με.
54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 Καὶ ἡ ἀδελφή σου Σόδομα καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς ἀποκατασταθήσονται καθὼς ἦσαν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς· καὶ σὺ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου ἀποκατασταθήσεσθε καθὼς ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἦτε.
55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.
56 Καὶ εἰ μὴ ἦν Σόδομα ἡ ἀδελφή σου εἰς ἀκοὴν ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑπερηφανίας σου·
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 πρὸ τοῦ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τὰς κακίας σου, ὃν τρόπον νῦν ὄνειδος εἶ θυγατέρων Συρίας, καὶ πάντων τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς θυγατέρων ἀλλοφύλων τῶν περιεχουσῶν σε κύκλῳ.
57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
58 Τὰς ἀσεβείας σου καὶ τὰς ἀνομίας σου σὺ κεκόμισαι αὐτὰς, λέγει Κύριος.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says Yahweh.
59 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ καθὼς ἐποίησας, ὡς ἠτίμωσας ταῦτα τοῦ παραβῆναι τὴν διαθήκην μου.
59 “‘For the Lord Yahweh says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Καὶ μνησθήσομαι ἐγὼ τῆς διαθήκης μου τῆς μετὰ σοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις νηπιότητός σου, καὶ ἀναστήσω σοι διαθήκην αἰώνιον.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Καὶ μνησθήσῃ τὴν ὁδόν σου, καὶ ἐξατιμωθήσῃ ἐν τῷ ἀναλαβεῖν σε τὰς ἀδελφάς σου τὰς πρεσβυτέρας σου σὺν ταῖς νεωτέραις σου, καὶ δώσω αὐτάς σοι εἰς οἰκοδομὴν, καὶ οὐκ ἐκ διαθήκης σου.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐγὼ τὴν διαθήκην μου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἐπιγνῶσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος·
62 I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh;
63 Ὅπως μνησθῇς καὶ αἰσχυνθῇς, καὶ μὴ ᾖ σοι ἔτι ἀνοῖξαι τὸ στόμα σου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ἀτιμίας σου, ἐν τῷ ἐξιλάσκεσθαί με σοὶ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησας, λέγει Κύριος.
63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
