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 Ισραήλ, επίστρεψον προς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, διότι έπεσας διά της ανομίας σου.
1 Israel, return to Yahweh your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
2 Λάβετε μεθ' εαυτών λόγους και επιστρέψατε προς τον Κύριον· είπατε προς αυτόν, Αφαίρεσον πάσαν ανομίαν ημών και δέχθητι ημάς ευμενώς, και θέλομεν αποδώσει τον καρπόν των χειλέων ημών·
2 Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.
3 ο Ασσούρ δεν θέλει μας σώσει· δεν θέλομεν αναβή εφ' ίππους· και δεν θέλομεν ειπεί πλέον προς το έργον των χειρών ημών, Είσθε θεοί ημών· διότι εν σοι θέλει ελεηθή ο ορφανός.
3 Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”
4 Θέλω ιατρεύσει την αποστασίαν αυτών, θέλω αγαπήσει αυτούς εγκαρδίως· διότι ο θυμός μου απεστράφη απ' αυτού.
4 “I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 Θέλω είσθαι ως δρόσος εις τον Ισραήλ· ως κρίνον θέλει ανθήσει και θέλει εκτείνει τας ρίζας αυτού ως δένδρον του Λιβάνου.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
6 Οι κλάδοι αυτού θέλουσιν εξαπλωθή και η δόξα αυτού θέλει είσθαι ως ελαίας και η οσμή αυτού ως του Λιβάνου.
6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 Θέλουσιν επιστρέψει και καθήσει υπό την σκιάν αυτού· θέλουσιν αναζήσει ως σίτος και ανθήσει ως άμπελος· η μνήμη αυτού θέλει είσθαι ως οίνος Λιβάνου.
7 Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ο Εφραΐμ θέλει ειπεί, Τι έχω να κάμω πλέον μετά των ειδώλων; Εγώ ήκουσα και θέλω παραφυλάξει αυτόν· εγώ είμαι εις αυτόν ως ελάτη ευθαλής· απ' εμού ο καρπός σου θέλει προέλθει.
8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”
9 Τις είναι σοφός και θέλει εννοήσει ταύτα, συνετός και θέλει γνωρίσει αυτά; διότι ευθείαι είναι αι οδοί του Κυρίου, και οι δίκαιοι θέλουσι περιπατεί εν αυταίς· οι δε παραβάται θέλουσι πέσει εν αυταίς.
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
