WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ακούσατε τον λόγον τούτον, τον οποίον ελάλησεν ο Κύριος εναντίον σας, υιοί Ισραήλ, εναντίον παντός του γένους, το οποίον ανεβίβασα εκ γης Αιγύπτου λέγων,
1 OID esta palabra que ha hablado Jehová contra vosotros, hijos de Israel, contra toda la familia que hice subir de la tierra de Egipto. Dice así:
1 Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2 Εσάς μόνον εγνώρισα εκ πάντων των γενών της γής· διά τούτο θέλω σας τιμωρήσει διά πάσας τας ανομίας σας.
2 A vosotros solamente he conocido de todas las familias de la tierra; por tanto visitaré contra vosotros todas vuestras maldades.
2 “I have chosen only you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3 Δύνανται δύο να περιπατήσωσιν ομού, εάν δεν ήναι σύμφωνοι;
3 ¿Andarán dos juntos, si no estuvieren de concierto?
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4 Θέλει βρυχήσει ο λέων εν τω δρυμώ, εάν δεν έχη θήραν; θέλει εκπέμψει την φωνήν αυτού ο σκύμνος από της κατοικίας αυτού, αν δεν επίασέ τι;
4 ¿Bramará el león en el monte sin hacer presa? ¿dará el leoncillo su bramido desde su morada, si no prendiere?
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5 Δύναται πτηνόν να πέση εις παγίδα επί της γης, όπου δεν είναι βρόχος δι' αυτό; ήθελε σηκωθή παγίς εκ της γης, χωρίς να πιασθή τι;
5 ¿Caerá el ave en el lazo en la tierra, sin haber armador? ¿alzaráse el lazo de la tierra, si no se ha prendido algo?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
6 Δύναται να ηχήση σάλπιγξ εν πόλει και ο λαός να μη πτοηθή; δύναται να γείνη συμφορά εν πόλει και ο Κύριος να μη έκαμεν αυτήν;
6 ¿Tocaráse la trompeta en la ciudad, y no se alborotará el pueblo? ¿habrá algún mal en la ciudad, el cual Jehová no haya hecho?
6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn’t done it?
7 Βεβαίως Κύριος ο Θεός δεν θέλει κάμει ουδέν, χωρίς να αποκαλύψη το απόκρυφον αυτού εις τους δούλους αυτού τους προφήτας.
7 Porque no hará nada el Señor Jehová, sin que revele su secreto á sus siervos los profetas.
7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 Ο λέων εβρύχησε· τις δεν θέλει φοβηθή; Κύριος ο Θεός ελάλησε· τις δεν θέλει προφητεύσει;
8 Bramando el león, ¿quién no temerá? hablando el Señor Jehová, ¿quién no profetizará?
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
9 Κηρύξατε προς τα παλάτια της Αζώτου και προς τα παλάτια της γης της Αιγύπτου και είπατε, Συνάχθητε επί τα όρη της Σαμαρείας και ιδέτε τους μεγάλους θορύβους εν μέσω αυτής και τας καταδυναστείας εν μέσω αυτής,
9 Haced pregonar sobre los palacios de Azoto, y sobre los palacios de tierra de Egipto, y decid: Reuníos sobre los montes de Samaria, y ved muchas opresiones en medio de ella, y violencias en medio de ella.
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them.”
10 διότι δεν εξεύρουσι να πράττωσι το ορθόν, λέγει Κύριος, οι θησαυρίζοντες αδικίαν και αρπαγήν εν τοις παλατίοις αυτών.
10 Y no saben hacer lo recto, dice Jehová, atesorando rapiñas y despojos en sus palacios.
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says Yahweh, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
11 Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Εχθρός θέλει περικυκλώσει την γην σου και θέλει καταβάλει την ισχύν σου από σου και τα παλάτιά σου θέλουσι διαρπαγή.
11 Por tanto, el Señor Jehová ha dicho así: Un enemigo [habrá] aún por todos lados de la tierra, y derribará de ti tu fortaleza, y tus palacios serán saqueados.
11 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
12 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Καθώς ο ποιμήν αποσπά από του στόματος του λέοντος δύο σκέλη ή λοβόν ωτίου, ούτω θέλουσιν αποσπασθή οι υιοί Ισραήλ, οι κατοικούντες εν Σαμαρεία από της γωνίας της κλίνης και εν Δαμασκώ από της στρωμνής.
12 Así ha dicho Jehová: De la manera que el pastor libra de la boca del león dos piernas, ó la punta de una oreja, así escaparán los hijos de Israel que moran en Samaria en el rincón de la cama, y al canto del lecho.
12 Yahweh says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
13 Ακούσατε και διαμαρτυρήθητε προς τον οίκον Ιακώβ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός, ο Θεός των δυνάμεων,
13 Oid y protestad en la casa de Jacob, ha dicho Jehová Dios de los ejércitos:
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord Yahweh, the God of Armies.
14 ότι καθ' ην ημέραν επισκεφθώ τας παραβάσεις του Ισραήλ επ' αυτόν, θέλω επισκεφθή και τα θυσιαστήρια της Βαιθήλ, και τα κέρατα του θυσιαστηρίου θέλουσιν εκκοπή και πέσει κατά γης.
14 Que el día que visitaré las rebeliones de Israel sobre él, visitaré también sobre los altares de Beth-el; y serán cortados los cuernos del altar, y caerán á tierra.
14 “For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 Και θέλω πατάξει τον χειμερινόν οίκον μετά του θερινού οίκου, και οι οίκοι οι ελεφάντινοι θέλουσιν απολεσθή και οι οίκοι οι μεγάλοι θέλουσιν αφανισθή, λέγει Κύριος.
15 Y heriré la casa del invierno con la casa del verano, y las casas de marfil perecerán; y muchas casas serán arruinadas, dice Jehová.
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says 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. 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).
But now at all events mark the beasts which are unquestionably of savage kind. "The lion roareth, who doth not fear?" And yet wherein is it that thou dost find thyself to be stronger than he?

Nay, even when He says that God creates evil things, and that there is no evil in a city that the Lord hath not done, he does not mean by these words that the Lord is the cause of evil, but the word evil ' is used in two ways, with two meanings.
