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 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλει παιδεύσει ο Κύριος, διά της μαχαίρας αυτού της σκληράς και μεγάλης και δυνατής, τον Λευϊάθαν, τον λοξοβάτην όφιν, ναι, τον Λευϊάθαν, τον σκολιόν όφιν· και θέλει αποκτείνει τον δράκοντα τον εν τη θαλάσση.
1 In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
2 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα ψάλλετε προς αυτήν, Άμπελος αγαπητή·
2 In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!
3 εγώ ο Κύριος θέλω φυλάττει αυτήν· κατά πάσαν στιγμήν θέλω ποτίζει αυτήν· διά να μη βλάψη αυτήν μηδείς, νύκτα και ημέραν θέλω φυλάττει αυτήν·
3 I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
4 οργή δεν είναι εν εμοί· τις ήθελεν αντιτάξει εναντίον μου τριβόλους και ακάνθας εν τη μάχη; ήθελον περάσει διά μέσου αυτών, ήθελον κατακαύσει ταύτα ομού·
4 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
5 ή ας πιασθή από της δυνάμεώς μου, διά να κάμη ειρήνην μετ' εμού· και θέλει κάμει μετ' εμού ειρήνην.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”
6 Εις το ερχόμενον θέλει ριζώσει τον Ιακώβ· ο Ισραήλ θέλει ανθήσει και βλαστήσει και γεμίσει το πρόσωπον της οικουμένης από καρπών.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
7 Μήπως επάταξεν αυτόν, καθώς επάταξε τους πατάξαντας αυτόν; ή εθανατώθη κατά τον θάνατον των θανατωθέντων υπ' αυτού;
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
8 Με μέτρον θέλεις διαμαχήσει μετ' αυτής, όταν αποβάλης αυτήν· συμμετρεί τον σφοδρόν αυτού άνεμον εν τη ημέρα του ανατολικού ανέμου.
8 In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Όθεν με τούτο θέλει καθαρισθή η ανομία του Ιακώβ· και τούτο θέλει είσθαι άπας ο καρπός, να εξαλειφθή η αμαρτία αυτού, όταν κατασυντρίψη πάντας τους λίθους των βωμών ως λεπτόν κονιορτόν ασβέστου, και τα άλση και τα είδωλα δεν μένωσι πλέον όρθια.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.
10 Διότι η ωχυρωμένη πόλις θέλει ερημωθή, η κατοικία θέλει παραιτηθή και εγκαταλειφθή ως έρημος· εκεί θέλει βοσκηθή το μοσχάριον και εκεί θέλει αναπαυθή και καταφάγει τους κλάδους αυτής.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
11 Όταν οι κλάδοι αυτής ξηρανθώσι, θέλουσιν αποκοπή· αι γυναίκες θέλουσιν ελθεί και κατακαύσει αυτούς· διότι είναι λαός ασύνετος· όθεν ο ποιήσας αυτόν δεν θέλει οικτείρει αυτόν και ο πλάσας αυτόν δεν θέλει ελεήσει αυτόν.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
12 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα ο Κύριος θέλει εκτινάξει από της διώρυγος του ποταμού έως του ρεύματος της Αιγύπτου, και σεις θέλετε συναχθή καθ' ένα έκαστος, σεις υιοί Ισραήλ.
12 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
13 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλει σαλπιγχθή μεγάλη σάλπιγξ, και θέλουσιν ελθεί οι καταφθειρόμενοι εν τη γη της Ασσυρίας και οι αποδεδιωγμένοι εν τη γη της Αιγύπτου, και θέλουσι λατρεύσει τον Κύριον επί του όρους του αγίου εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
13 It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

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).
Even as Esaias saith, "The children of Jacob shall strike root, and Israel shall flourish, and the whole world shall be filled with his fruit." The fruit, therefore, having been sown throughout all the world, she (Jerusalem) was deservedly forsaken, and those things which had formerly brought forth fruit abundantly were taken away; for from these, according to the flesh, …
And Esaias knowing the feebleness of the Chief Priests, and the women's strength of faith, says, Ye women, who come from beholding, come hither; for the people hath no understanding;--the Chief Priests want understanding, while women are eye-witnesses.
