1 Ακούσατε τον λόγον τούτον, δαμάλεις της Βασάν, αι εν τω όρει της Σαμαρείας, αι καταδυναστεύουσαι τους πτωχούς, αι καταθλίβουσαι τους πένητας, αι λέγουσαι προς τους κυρίους αυτών, Φέρετε και ας πίωμεν.
1 OID esta palabra, vacas de Basán, que estáis en el monte de Samaria, que oprimís los pobres, que quebrantáis los menesterosos, que decís á sus señores: Traed, y beberemos.
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Κύριος ο Θεός ώμοσεν εις την αγιότητα αυτού ότι ιδού, ημέραι έρχονται εις υμάς, καθ' ας θέλουσι σας πιάσει με άγκιστρα και τους απογόνους σας με καμάκια αλιευτικά.
2 El Señor Jehová juró por su santidad: He aquí, vienen días sobre vosotros en que os llevará en anzuelos, y á vuestros descendientes en barquillos de pescador.
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 Και θέλετε εξέλθει από τας χαλάστρας εκάστη απ' ευθείας ενώπιον αυτής, και θέλετε απορρίψει πάντα τα του παλατίου, λέγει Κύριος.
3 Y saldrán por los portillos la una en pos de la otra, y seréis echadas del palacio, dice Jehová.
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
4 Έλθετε εις Βαιθήλ και ασεβήσατε· εν Γαλγάλοις πληθύνατε την ασέβειαν· και φέρετε τας θυσίας σας κατά πάσαν πρωΐαν, τα δέκατά σας κατά πάσαν τριετίαν.
4 Id á Beth-el, y prevaricad; en Gilgal aumentad la rebelión, y traed de mañana vuestros sacrificios, y vuestros diezmos cada tres años;
4 “Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 Και προσφέρετε εις θυσίαν ευχαριστίας άρτον ένζυμον, και κηρύξατε τας αυτοπροαιρέτους προσφοράς· αναγγείλατε αυτάς· διότι ούτως αγαπάτε, υιοί Ισραήλ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
5 Y ofreced sacrificio de alabanza con leudo, y pregonad, publicad voluntarias ofrendas; pues que así lo queréis, hijos de Israel, dice el Señor Jehová.
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
6 Και εγώ ότι σας έδωκα πείναν εν πάσαις ταις πόλεσιν υμών και έλλειψιν άρτου εν πάσι τοις τόποις υμών, και δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
6 Yo también os dí limpieza de dientes en todas vuestras ciudades, y falta de pan en todos vuestros pueblos: mas no os tornasteis á mí, dice Jehová.
6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
7 Και εγώ προσέτι εκράτησα την βροχήν από σας, ότε έμενον τρεις μήνες έτι έως του θέρους· και έβρεξα επί μίαν πόλιν και επί άλλην πόλιν δεν έβρεξα· μία μερίς εβράχη και η μερίς, επί την οποίαν δεν έβρεξεν εξηράνθη.
7 Y también yo os detuve la lluvia tres meses antes de la siega: é hice llover sobre una ciudad, y sobre otra ciudad no hice llover: sobre una parte llovió; la parte sobre la cual no llovió, secóse.
7 “I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
8 Ούτω δύο τρεις πόλεις υπήγαν περιπλανώμεναι εις μίαν πόλιν να πίωσιν ύδωρ και δεν εχορτάσθησαν, και δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
8 Y venían dos ó tres ciudades á una ciudad para beber agua, y no se hartaban: con todo no os tornasteis á mí, dice Jehová.
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
9 Σας επάταξα με ανεμοφθορίαν και ερυσίβην· το πλήθος των κήπων σας και των αμπελώνων σας και των συκεώνων σας και των ελαιώνων σας κατέφαγεν η κάμπη, και δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
9 Os herí con viento solano y oruga; vuestros muchos huertos y vuestras viñas, y vuestros higuerales y vuestros olivares comió la langosta: pero nunca os tornasteis á mí, dice Jehová.
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
10 Εξαπέστειλα εφ' ημάς θανατικόν κατά τον τρόπον της Αιγύπτου· τους νεανίσκους σας εθανάτωσα εν ρομφαία, αιχμαλωτίσας και τους ίππους σας· και ανεβίβασα την δυσωδίαν των στρατοπέδων σας έως των μυκτήρων σας, και δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
10 Envié entre vosotros mortandad al modo que en Egipto: maté á cuchillo vuestros mancebos, con cautiverio de vuestros caballos; é hice subir el hedor de vuestros reales hasta vuestras narices: empero no os tornasteis á mí, dice Jehová.
10 “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
11 Σας κατέστρεψα, καθώς ο Θεός κατέστρεψε τα Σόδομα και τα Γόμορρα, και εγείνετε ως δαυλός απεσπασμένος από της πυρκαϊάς, και δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
11 Trastornéos, como cuando Dios trastornó á Sodoma y á Gomorra, y fuisteis como tizón escapado del fuego: mas no os tornasteis á mí, dice Jehová.
11 “I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
12 Διά τούτο ούτω θέλω κάμει εις σε, Ισραήλ· όθεν, επειδή θέλω κάμει τούτο εις σε, ετοιμάσθητι να απαντήσης τον Θεόν σου, Ισραήλ.
12 Por tanto, de esta manera haré á ti, oh Israel: y porque te he de hacer esto, aparéjate para venir al encuentro á tu Dios, oh Israel.
12 “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 Διότι ιδού, ο μορφών τα όρη και κατασκευάζων τον άνεμον και απαγγέλλων προς τον άνθρωπον τις είναι ο στοχασμός αυτού, ο ποιών την αυγήν σκότος και επιβαίνων επί τα ύψη της γης, Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων είναι το όνομα αυτού.
13 Porque he aquí, el que forma los montes, y cría el viento, y denuncia al hombre su pensamiento; el que hace á las tinieblas mañana, y pasa sobre las alturas de la tierra; Jehová, Dios de los ejércitos, es su nombre.
13 For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”

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).
… ye be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above." Amos also prophesies thus concerning such things: "Prepare thee, that thou mayst invoke thy God, O Israel; for lo, I am binding the thunder, and creating the spirit, and announcing to men their Christ." And in another place he says, "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle …

… made; as is shewn by the passage which says that He maketh His Angels Spirits, and that the earth is founded upon its steadfastness (though once for all these things were fixed and made) and that the thunder is made firm and the wind created. Of all these things the Word was given once, but the Action is continuous even …
