Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και συ ανάλαβε θρήνον διά τους ηγεμόνας του Ισραήλ,
1 “Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 και ειπέ, Τι είναι η μήτηρ σου; Λέαινα· κείται μεταξύ λεόντων, έθρεψε τα βρέφη αυτής εν μέσω σκύμνων.
2 and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
3 Και ανέθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφών αυτής και έγεινε σκύμνος και έμαθε να αρπάζη το θήραμα· ανθρώπους έτρωγε.
3 She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
4 Και τα έθνη ήκουσαν περί αυτού· επιάσθη εν τω λάκκω αυτών, και έφεραν αυτόν με αλύσεις εις την γην της Αιγύπτου.
4 The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5 Και ιδούσα ότι η ελπίς αυτής εματαιώθη και εχάθη, έλαβεν εν άλλο εκ των βρεφών αυτής και έκαμεν αυτό σκύμνον.
5 “‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
6 Και αναστρεφόμενον εν μέσω των λεόντων έγεινε σκύμνος και έμαθε να αρπάζη θήραμα· ανθρώπους έτρωγε.
6 He went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
7 Και εγνώρισε τα παλάτια αυτών και ερήμονε τας πόλεις αυτών· και ήτο ηφανισμένη η γη και το πλήρωμα αυτής από του ήχου του βρυχήματος αυτού.
7 He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.
8 Και τα έθνη παρετάχθησαν εναντίον αυτού κυκλόθεν εκ των επαρχιών και ήπλωσαν κατ' αυτού τα βρόχια αυτών, και επιάσθη εν τω λάκκω αυτών.
8 Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit.
9 Και έβαλον αυτόν με αλύσεις εις κλωβίον και έφεραν αυτόν προς τον βασιλέα της Βαβυλώνος· εν δεσμωτηρίω εισήγαγον αυτόν, διά να μη ακουσθή πλέον φωνή αυτού επί τα όρη του Ισραήλ.
9 They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10 Η μήτηρ σου, καθ' ομοίωσίν σου, ήτο ως άμπελος πεφυτευμένη πλησίον των υδάτων· έγεινε καρποφόρος και πλήρης κλάδων διά τα πολλά ύδατα.
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Και έγειναν εις αυτήν ράβδοι ισχυραί διά σκήπτρα των κρατούντων· και ο κορμός αυτής υψώθη εν μέσω των πυκνών κλάδων, και έγεινε περίβλεπτος κατά το ύψος αυτής μεταξύ του πλήθους των βλαστών αυτής.
11 It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.
12 Απεσπάσθη όμως μετά θυμού, ερρίφθη κατά γης, και ανατολικός άνεμος κατεξήρανε τον καρπόν αυτής· αι ισχυραί αυτής ράβδοι συνεθλάσθησαν και εξηράνθησαν· πυρ κατέφαγεν αυτάς.
12 But it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off and withered. The fire consumed them.
13 Και τώρα είναι πεφυτευμένη εν ερήμω, εν ξηρά και ανύδρω γη.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 Και εξήλθε πυρ από ράβδου τινός εκ των κλάδων αυτής και κατέφαγε τον καρπόν αυτής, ώστε δεν υπήρχε πλέον εν αυτή ράβδος ισχυρά διά σκήπτρον ηγεμονίας· ούτος είναι ο θρήνος και θέλει είσθαι εις θρήνον.
14 Fire has gone out of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
