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 Ότε ο Εφραΐμ ελάλει εν τρόμω, αυτός υψώθη εν τω Ισραήλ· ότε δε ημάρτησε περί του Βάαλ, τότε ετελεύτησε.
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
2 Και τώρα αμαρτάνουσιν επί μάλλον και μάλλον και έκαμον εις εαυτούς χωνευτά εκ του αργυρίου αυτών, είδωλα κατά την φαντασίαν αυτών, πάντα ταύτα έργον τεχνιτών· αυτοί λέγουσι περί αυτών, οι άνθρωποι οι θυσιάζοντες ας φιλήσωσι τους μόσχους.
2 Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
3 Διά τούτο θέλουσιν είσθαι ως νεφέλη πρωϊνή και ως δρόσος εωθινή διαβαίνουσα, ως λεπτόν άχυρον εκφυσώμενον εκ του αλωνίου και ως καπνός εκ της καπνοδόχου.
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Αλλ' εγώ είμαι Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκ γης Αιγύπτου· και άλλον θεόν πλην εμού δεν θέλεις γνωρίσει· διότι δεν υπάρχει άλλος σωτήρ εκτός εμού.
4 “Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5 Εγώ σε εγνώρισα εν τη ερήμω, εν γη ανύδρω.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Κατά τας βοσκάς αυτών, ούτως εχορτάσθησαν· εχορτάσθησαν, και υψώθη η καρδία αυτών· διά τούτο με ελησμόνησαν.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
7 Όθεν θέλω είσθαι εις αυτούς ως λέων· ως πάρδαλις εν οδώ θέλω παραμονεύει αυτούς.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
8 Θέλω απαντήσει αυτούς ως άρκτος στερηθείσα των τέκνων αυτής, και θέλω διασπαράξει το περίφραγμα της καρδίας αυτών και καταφάγει αυτούς εκεί ως λέων· θηρίον άγριον θέλει διασπαράξει αυτούς.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
9 Απωλέσθης, Ισραήλ· πλην εν εμοί είναι η βοήθειά σου.
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10 Που είναι ο βασιλεύς σου; που; ας σε σώση τώρα εν πάσαις σου ταις πόλεσι· και που οι κριταί σου, περί των οποίων είπας, Δος μοι βασιλέα και άρχοντας;
10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 Σοι έδωκα βασιλέα εν τω θυμώ μου και αφήρεσα αυτόν εν τη οργή μου.
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 Η ανομία του Εφραΐμ είναι περιδεδεμένη· η αμαρτία αυτού αποτεταμιευμένη.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
13 Πόνοι τικτούσης θέλουσιν ελθεί επ' αυτόν· είναι υιός ασύνετος· διότι δεν είναι καιρός να στέκηται εν τω ανοίγματι της μήτρας.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
14 Εκ χειρός άδου θέλω ελευθερώσει αυτούς, εκ θανάτου θέλω σώσει αυτούς. Που είναι, θάνατε, ο όλεθρός σου; που, άδη, η φθορά σου; η μεταμέλεια θέλει κρύπτεσθαι από των οφθαλμών μου.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.
15 Αν και ούτος εστάθη καρποφόρος μεταξύ των αδελφών αυτού, ανατολικός άνεμος όμως θέλει ελθεί, ο άνεμος του Κυρίου θέλει αναβή από της ερήμου, και αι βρύσεις αυτού θέλουσιν εκλείψει και θέλει καταξηρανθή η πηγή αυτού· ούτος θέλει αφαρπάσει τον θησαυρόν πάντων των επιθυμητών αυτού σκευών.
15 Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
16 Η Σαμάρεια θέλει αφανισθή, διότι απεστάτησε κατά του Θεού αυτής· θέλουσι πέσει εν ρομφαία· τα θηλάζοντα νήπια αυτών θέλουσι συντριφθή, και αι εγκυμονούσαι αυτών θέλουσι διασχισθή.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”

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).
And He went down of His own accord, that death might cast up those whom he had devoured, according to that which is written, I will ransom them from the power of the grave; and from the hand of death I will redeem them.
