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 Εἰς κόλπον αὐτῶν, ὡς γῆ, ὡς ἀετὸς ἐπʼ οἶκον Κυρίου, ἀνθʼ ὧν παρέβησαν τὴν διαθήκην μου, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ νόμου μου ἠσέβησαν.
1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 Ἐμὲ κεκράξονται, ὁ Θεὸς, ἐγνώκαμέν σε·
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
3 Ὅτι Ἰσραὴλ ἀπεστρέψατο ἀγαθὰ, ἐχθρὸν κατεδίωξαν.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
4 Ἑαυτοῖς ἐβασίλευσαν, καὶ οὐ διʼ ἐμοῦ, ἦρξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώρισάν μοι· τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς εἴδωλα, ὅπως ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Ἀπότριψαι τὸν μόσχον σου Σαμάρεια, παρωξύνθη ὁ θυμός μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἕως τίνος οὐ μὴ δύνωνται καθαρισθῆναι
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
6 ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ; καὶ αὐτὸ τέκτων ἐποίησε, καὶ οὐ Θεός ἐστι· διότι πλανῶν ἦν ὁ μόσχος σου, Σαμάρεια.
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Ὅτι ἀνεμόφθορα ἔσπειραν, καὶ ἡ καταστροφὴ αὐτῶν ἐκδέξεται αὐτά· δράγμα οὐκ ἔχον ἰσχὺν τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἄλευρον· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ποιήσῃ, ἀλλότριοι καταφάγονται αὐτό.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
8 Κατεπόθη Ἰσραὴλ, νῦν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὡς σκεῦος ἄχρηστον,
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
9 ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Ἀσσυρίους· ἀνέθαλε καθʼ ἑαυτὸν Ἐφραίμ· δῶρα ἠγάπησαν,
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
10 διὰ τοῦτο παραδοθήσονται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι· νῦν εἰσδέξομαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ κοπάσουσι μικρὸν τοῦ χρίειν βασιλέα καὶ ἄρχοντας.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
11 Ὅτι ἐπλήθυνεν Ἐφραὶμ θυσιαστήρια, εἰς ἁμαρτίας ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἠγαπημένα.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
12 Καταγράψω αὐτῷ πλῆθος, καὶ τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἀλλότρια ἐλογίσθησαν, θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἠγαπημένα.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
13 Διότι ἐὰν θύσωσι θυσίαν, καὶ φάγωσι κρέα, Κύριος οὐ προσδέξεται αὐτά· νῦν μνησθήσεται τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκδικήσει τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν· αὐτοὶ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀπέστρεψαν, καὶ ἐν Ἀσσυρίοις ἀκάθαρτα φάγονται.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
14 Καὶ ἐπελάθετο Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτόν, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τεμένη· καὶ Ἰούδας ἐπλήθυνε πόλεις τετειχισμένας· καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῶν.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
