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 Σάλπισον ταύτα με το στόμα σου· θέλεις ορμήσει ως αετός εναντίον του οίκου του Κυρίου, διότι παρέβησαν την διαθήκην μου και ησέβησαν εις τον νόμον μου.
1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 Ο Ισραήλ θέλει κράζει προς εμέ, Θεέ μου, σε γνωρίζομεν.
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
3 Ο Ισραήλ απέρριψε το αγαθόν· ο εχθρός θέλει καταδιώξει αυτόν.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
4 Αυτοί κατέστησαν βασιλείς, πλην ουχί παρ' εμού· έκαμον άρχοντας, πλην χωρίς να έχω είδησιν· εκ του αργυρίου αυτών και εκ του χρυσίου αυτών έκαμον εις εαυτούς είδωλα, διά να εξολοθρευθώσιν.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Απέρριψεν αυτούς ο μόσχος σου, Σαμάρεια· ο θυμός μου εξήφθη εναντίον αυτών· έως πότε δεν θέλουσι δυνηθή να καθαρισθώσι;
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
6 Και τούτο βεβαίως έγεινεν υπό του Ισραήλ· ο τεχνίτης έκαμεν αυτό· όθεν αυτό δεν είναι Θεός· ο μόσχος λοιπόν της Σαμαρείας θέλει γείνει συντρίμματα.
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Επειδή έσπειραν άνεμον, διά τούτο θέλουσι θερίσει ανεμοστρόβιλον· δεν έχει κάλαμον· ο βλαστός δεν θέλει δώσει άλευρον· και αν δώση, ξένοι θέλουσι καταπίει αυτό.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
8 Κατεπόθη ο Ισραήλ· τώρα έγειναν μεταξύ των εθνών ως σκεύος εν ω δεν υπάρχει χάρις.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
9 Διότι αφ' εαυτών ανέβησαν εις τους Ασσυρίους, ως όναγρος μονάζων καθ' εαυτόν· ο Εφραΐμ εμίσθωσεν εραστάς.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
10 Πλην αν και εμίσθωσαν εραστάς μεταξύ των εθνών, τώρα θέλω συνάξει αυτούς· και θέλουσι λυπηθή μετ' ολίγον διά το φορτίον του βασιλέως των αρχόντων.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
11 Επειδή ο Εφραΐμ επλήθυνε τα θυσιαστήρια διά να αμαρτάνη, θέλουσι γείνει εις αυτόν θυσιαστήρια του αμαρτάνειν.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
12 Έγραψα προς αυτόν τα μεγαλεία του νόμου μου· πλην ελογίσθησαν ως αλλότριον πράγμα.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
13 Εν ταις θυσίαις, τας οποίας προσφέρουσιν εις εμέ, θυσιάζουσι κρέας και τρώγουσιν· ο Κύριος δεν δέχεται αυτάς· τώρα θέλει ενθυμηθή την ανομίαν αυτών και επισκεφθή τας αμαρτίας αυτών· αυτοί θέλουσιν επιστρέψει εις την Αίγυπτον.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
14 Διότι ο Ισραήλ ελησμόνησε τον Ποιητήν αυτού και οικοδομεί ναούς, και ο Ιούδας επλήθυνεν ωχυρωμένας πόλεις· αλλά θέλω εξαποστείλει πυρ επί τας πόλεις αυτού και θέλει καταφάγει τα παλάτια αυτών.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
