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 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, φυλάσσεσθε κρίσιν, καὶ ποιήσατε δικαιοσύνην· ἤγγικε γὰρ τὸ σωτήριόν μου παραγίνεσθαι, καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου ἀποκαλυφθῆναι.
1 ASÍ dijo Jehová: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia: porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.
2 Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀντεχόμενος αὐτῶν, καὶ φυλάσσων τὰ σάββατα μὴ βεβηλοῦν, καὶ διατηρῶν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ μὴ ποιεῖν ἄδικα.
2 Bienaventurado el hombre que esto hiciere, y el hijo del hombre que esto abrazare: que guarda el sábado de profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.
3 Μὴ λεγέτω ὁ ἀλλογενὴς ὁ προσκείμενος πρὸς Κύριον, ἀφοριεῖ με ἄρα Κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ μὴ λεγέτω ὁ εὐνοῦχος, ὅτι ξύλον ἐγώ εἰμι ξηρόν.
3 Y el hijo del extranjero, allegado á Jehová, no hable diciendo: Apartaráme totalmente Jehová de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí yo soy árbol seco.
4 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς εὐνούχοις, ὅσοι ἄν φυλάξωνται τὰ σάββατά μου, καὶ ἐκλέξωνται ἃ ἐγὼ θέλω, καὶ ἀντέχωνται τῆς διαθήκης μου,
4 Porque así dijo Jehová á los eunucos que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y abrazaren mi pacto:
5 δώσω αὐτοῖς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου καὶ ἐν τῷ τείχει μου τόπον ὀνομαστὸν, κρείττω υἱῶν καὶ θυγατέρων· ὄνομα αἰώνιον δώσω αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἐκλείψει·
5 Yo les daré lugar en mi casa y dentro de mis muros, y nombre mejor que [el] de hijos é hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré que nunca perecerá.
6 καὶ τοῖς ἀλλογενέσι τοῖς προσκειμένοις Κυρίῳ δουλεύειν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀγαπᾷν τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, τοῦ εἶναι αὐτῷ εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· καὶ πάντας τοὺς φυλασσομένους τὰ σάββατά μου μὴ βεβηλοῦν, καὶ ἀντεχομένους τῆς διαθήκης μου,
6 Y á los hijos de los extranjeros que se llegaren á Jehová para ministrarle, y que amaren el nombre de Jehová para ser sus siervos: á todos los que guardaren el sábado de profanarlo, y abrazaren mi pacto,
7 εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου, καὶ εὐφρανῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῆς προσευχῆς μου· τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ αἱ θυσίαι αὐτῶν ἔσονται δεκταὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν μου· ὁ γάρ οἶκός μου, οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν,
7 Yo los llevaré al monte de mi santidad, y los recrearé en mi casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa, casa de oración será llamada de todos los pueblos.
8 εἶπε Κύριος ὁ συνάγων τοὺς διεσπαρμένους Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι συνάξω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν συναγωγήν.
8 Dice el Señor Jehová, el que junta los echados de Israel: Aun juntaré sobre él sus congregados.
9 Πάντα τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια, δεῦτε, φάγετε, πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ.
9 Todas las bestias del campo, todas las bestias del monte, venid á devorar.
10 Ἴδετε, ὅτι ἐκτετύφλωνται πάντες, οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, κύνες ἐνεοί οὐ δυνήσονται ὑλακτεῖν, ἐνυπνιαζόμενοι κοίτην, φιλοῦντες νυστάξαι.
10 Sus atalayas ciegos son, todos ellos ignorantes; todos ellos perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; soñolientos, echados, aman el dormir.
11 Καὶ οἱ κύνες ἀναιδεῖς τῇ ψυχῇ, οὐκ εἰδότες πλησμονήν· καί εἰσι πονηροὶ οὐκ εἰδότες σύνεσιν, πάντες ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτων ἐξηκολούθησαν, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ ἑαυτοῦ.
11 Y esos perros ansiosos no conocen hartura; y los mismos pastores no supieron entender: todos ellos miran á sus caminos, cada uno á su provecho, [cada uno] por su cabo. 12 Venid, [dicen], tomaré vino, embriaguémonos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como este, ó mucho más excelente.

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. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The seed, then, and the name of the saints shall remain in that blessedness,--the seed, to wit, of which John says, "And his seed remaineth in him;" and the name, of which it was said through Isaiah himself, "I will give them an everlasting name." "And there shall be to them month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath," as if …

Wherefore also He Himself sets up Isaiah against them as an accuser, saying, "My house shall be called a house of prayer." But not in this way only doth He show His authority, but also by His healing divers infirmities.

… another Psalm also said, "They shall be turned at even, and hunger they shall suffer as dogs." For even some dogs have been reproved by the Prophet Isaiah, not because they were dogs, but because they knew not how to bark, and loved to sleep. In which place indeed he hath shown, that if they had watched and barked for …

For of these it is said elsewhere, "Dumb dogs, they know not how to bark." Of them too is that said, "Lo, how the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart." He perished as far as lay in them who would have Him to perish; for how could He perish by dying, who in that way rather was …
