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 Όρασις κατά της κοιλάδος του οράματος. Τι σοι έγεινε τώρα, ότι ανέβης συ πάσα εις τα δώματα;
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2 Συ, η πλήρης βοής, πόλις θορύβου, πόλις ευθυμίας· οι πεφονευμένοι σου δεν εφονεύθησαν διά μαχαίρας ουδέ απέθανον εν μάχη.
2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
3 Πάντες οι άρχοντές σου έφυγον ομού· φεύγοντες από του τόξου, εδεσμεύθησαν πάντες οι ευρισκόμενοι εν σοί· οι μακρόθεν καταφυγόντες εδεσμεύθησαν ομού.
3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
4 Διά τούτο είπα, Σύρθητε απ' εμού· θέλω κλαύσει πικρώς· μη αγωνίζεσθε να με παρηγορήσητε διά την διαρπαγήν της θυγατρός του λαού μου.
4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5 Διότι είναι ημέρα ταραχής και καταπατήσεως και αμηχανίας εν τη κοιλάδι του οράματος παρά Κυρίου του Θεού των δυνάμεων, ημέρα καταστροφής των τειχών· και η κραυγή θέλει φθάσει εις τα όρη.
5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”
6 Και ο Ελάμ έλαβε την φαρέτραν με αμάξας ανδρών και ιππείς, και ο Κιρ εξεσκέπασε την ασπίδα.
6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Και αι εκλεκταί κοιλάδες σου εγεμίσθησαν αμαξών, και οι ιππείς παρετάχθησαν εν τη πύλη.
7 Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
8 Και εσηκώθη το κάλυμμα του Ιούδα· και εν τη ημέρα εκείνη ενέβλεψας εις την οπλοθήκην της οικίας του δάσους.
8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
9 Και είδετε ότι αι χαλάστραι της πόλεως του Δαβίδ είναι πολλαί, και συνηθροίσατε τα ύδατα του κάτω υδροστασίου.
9 You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Και απηριθμήσατε τας οικίας της Ιερουσαλήμ, και διά να οχυρώσητε το τείχος εχαλάσατε τας οικίας.
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11 Εκάμετε προς τούτοις μεταξύ των δύο τειχών λάκκον διά το ύδωρ του παλαιού υδροστασίου· αλλά δεν ανεβλέψατε προς τον Ποιητήν τούτων ουδέ εθεωρήσατε προς τον παλαιόθεν κτίσαντα αυτά.
11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
12 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων σας εκάλεσεν εις κλαυθμόν και εις πένθος και εις ξύρισμα και εις ζώσιμον σάκκου·
12 In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth;
13 αλλ' ιδού, χαρά και ευθυμία· σφάζουσι βόας και θύουσι πρόβατα, τρώγουσι κρέατα και πίνουσιν οίνον, λέγοντες, Ας φάγωμεν και ας πίωμεν· διότι αύριον θέλομεν αποθάνει.
13 and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
14 Και ανεκαλύφθη εις τα ώτα μου παρά του Κυρίου των δυνάμεων, Βεβαίως αύτη η ανομία σας δεν θέλει καθαρισθή εωσού αποθάνητε, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων.
14 Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
15 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων· Ύπαγε, είσελθε προς τον θησαυροφύλακα τούτον, προς τον Σομνάν, τον επιστάτην του οίκου, και ειπέ,
15 The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16 Τι έχεις εδώ; και εδώ τίνα έχεις, ώστε να κατασκευάσης ενταύθα μνημείον εις σεαυτόν; κατασκευάζει το μνήμα αυτού υψηλά και κόπτει εν πέτρα κατοικίαν εις εαυτόν.
16 ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17 Ιδού, ο Κύριος θέλει σε εκβάλει εκβολήν βιαίαν και θέλει σε περικαλύψει αισχύνην.
17 Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18 Θέλει βεβαίως σε στροφογυρίσει και τινάξει βιαίως ως σφαίραν εις τόπον ευρύχωρον· εκεί θέλεις αποθάνει και εκεί θέλουσιν είσθαι αι άμαξαι της δόξης σου, ω αίσχος του οίκου του κυρίου σου.
18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house.
19 Και θέλω σε εξώσει από της στάσεώς σου και θέλει σε κρημνίσει από του αξιώματός σου.
19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλω καλέσει τον δούλον μου Ελιακείμ, τον υιόν του Χελκίου.
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 Και θέλω ενδύσει αυτόν την στολήν σου και θέλω περιζώσει αυτόν την ζώνην σου, και την εξουσίαν σου θέλω δώσει εις την χείρα αυτού και θέλει είσθαι πατήρ εις τους κατοίκους της Ιερουσαλήμ και εις τον οίκον του Ιούδα.
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 Και θέλω βάλει επί τον ώμον αυτού το κλειδίον του οίκου του Δαβίδ· και θέλει ανοίγει και ουδείς θέλει κλείει· και θέλει κλείει και ουδείς θέλει ανοίγει.
22 I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23 Και θέλω στηρίξει αυτόν ως πάσσαλον εν τόπω στερεώ και θέλει είσθαι ως θρόνος δόξης του οίκου του πατρός αυτού.
23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
24 Και απ' αυτού θέλουσι κρεμάσει πάσαν την δόξαν του οίκου του πατρός αυτού, τους εκγόνους και απογόνους, πάντα τα σκεύη τα μικρά, από των σκευών των ποτηρίων έως πάντων των σκευών των φιαλών.
24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
25 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, το εστηριγμένον καρφίον εν τω στερεώ τόπω θέλει κινηθή και θέλει εκβληθή και πέσει, και το φορτίον το επ' αυτού θέλει κρημνισθή· διότι ο Κύριος ελάλησε.
25 “In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”

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).
So with the Scribes; suppose them to speak out of their own heart; thou wilt hear, "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die." Suppose them to speak from Moses' seat; thou wilt hear, "Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not bear false witness.
