WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ουαί εις την Αριήλ, την Αριήλ, την πόλιν όπου κατώκησεν ο Δαβίδ· προσθέσατε ενιαυτόν επί ενιαυτόν· ας σφάζωσιν εορταστικάς θυσίας.
1 ¡AY de Ariel, ciudad donde habitó David! Añadid un año á otro, mátense víctimas.
1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
2 Αλλ' εγώ θέλω στενοχωρήσει την Αριήλ, και εκεί θέλει είσθαι βάρος και θλίψις· και εις εμέ θέλει είσθαι ως Αριήλ.
2 Mas yo pondré á Ariel en apretura, y será desconsolada y triste; y será á mí como Ariel.
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
3 Και θέλω στρατοπεδεύσει εναντίον σου κύκλω, και θέλω στήσει πολιορκίαν κατά σου με χαράκωμα, και θέλω ανεγείρει φρούρια εναντίον σου.
3 Porque asentaré campo contra ti en derredor, y te combatiré con ingenios, y levantaré contra ti baluartes.
3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
4 Και θέλεις ριφθή κάτω, θέλεις λαλεί από του εδάφους και η λαλιά σου θέλει είσθαι ταπεινή εκ του χώματος, και η φωνή σου εκ του εδάφους θέλει είσθαι ως του εγγαστριμύθου και η λαλιά σου θέλει ψιθυρίζει εκ του χώματος.
4 Entonces serás humillada, hablarás desde la tierra, y tu habla saldrá del polvo; y será tu voz de la tierra como de pythón, y tu habla susurrará desde el polvo.
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5 Το δε πλήθος των εχθρών σου θέλει είσθαι ως κονιορτός και το πλήθος των φοβερών ως άχυρον φερόμενον υπό ανέμου· ναι, τούτο θέλει γείνει αιφνιδίως εν μιά στιγμή.
5 Y la muchedumbre de tus extranjeros será como polvo menudo, y la multitud de los fuertes como tamo que pasa; y será repentinamente, en un momento.
5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6 Θέλει γείνει εις σε επίσκεψις παρά του Κυρίου των δυνάμεων, μετά βροντής και μετά σεισμού και φωνής μεγάλης, μετά ανεμοζάλης και ανεμοστροβίλου και φλογός πυρός κατατρώγοντος.
6 De Jehová de los ejércitos serás visitada con truenos y con terremotos y con gran ruido, con torbellino y tempestad, y llama de fuego consumidor.
6 She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
7 Και το πλήθος πάντων των εθνών των πολεμούντων εναντίον της Αριήλ, πάντες βεβαίως οι μαχόμενοι εναντίον αυτής και των οχυρωμάτων αυτής και οι στενοχωρούντες αυτήν θέλουσιν είσθαι ως όνειρον νυκτερινού οράματος.
7 Y será como sueño de visión nocturna la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra Ariel, y todos los que pelearán contra ella y sus ingenios, y los que la pondrán en apretura.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 Καθώς μάλιστα ο πεινών ονειρεύεται ότι ιδού, τρώγει· πλην εξεγείρεται και η ψυχή αυτού είναι κενή· ή καθώς ο διψών ονειρεύεται ότι ιδού, πίνει· πλην εξεγείρεται και ιδού, είναι ητονημένος και η ψυχή αυτού διψά· ούτω θέλουσιν είσθαι τα πλήθη πάντων των εθνών των πολεμούντων εναντίον του όρους Σιών.
8 Y será como el que tiene hambre y sueña, y parece que come; mas cuando despierta, su alma está vacía; ó como el que tiene sed y sueña, y parece que bebe; mas cuando se despierta, hállase cansado, y su alma sedienta: así será la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra el monte de Sión.
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
9 Στήτε και θαυμάσατε· αναβοήσατε και ανακράξατε· ούτοι μεθύουσιν αλλ' ουχί υπό οίνου· παραφέρονται αλλ' ουχί υπό σίκερα.
9 Deteneos y maravillaos; ofuscaos y cegad; embriagaos, y no de vino; titubead, y no de sidra.
9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Διότι ο Κύριος εξέχεεν εφ' υμάς πνεύμα βαθέος ύπνου και έκλεισε τους οφθαλμούς υμών· περιεκάλυψε τους προφήτας και τους άρχοντας υμών, τους βλέποντας οράσεις.
10 Porque Jehová extendió sobre vosotros espíritu de sueño, y cerró vuestros ojos: cubrió vuestros profetas, y vuestros principales videntes.
10 For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
11 Και πάσα όρασις θέλει είσθαι εις εσάς ως λόγια εσφραγισμένου βιβλίου, το οποίον ήθελον δώσει εις τινά εξεύροντα να αναγινώσκη, λέγοντες, Ανάγνωθι τούτο, παρακαλώ· και εκείνος λέγει, Δεν δύναμαι, διότι είναι εσφραγισμένον·
11 Y os será toda visión como palabras de libro sellado, el cual si dieren al que sabe leer, y le dijeren: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No puedo, porque está sellado.
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
12 και δίδουσι το βιβλίον εις μη εξεύροντα να αναγινώσκη και λέγουσιν, Ανάγνωθι τούτο, παρακαλώ· και εκείνος λέγει, δεν εξεύρω να αναγινώσκω.
12 Y si se diere el libro al que no sabe leer, diciéndole: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No sé leer.
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.”
13 Διά τούτο ο Κύριος λέγει, Επειδή ο λαός ούτος με πλησιάζει διά του στόματος αυτού και με τιμά διά των χειλέων αυτού, αλλ' η καρδία αυτού απέχει μακράν απ' εμού, και με σέβονται, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας, εντάλματα ανθρώπων·
13 Dice pues el Señor: Porque este pueblo se [me] acerca con su boca, y con sus labios me honra, mas su corazón alejó de mí, y su temor para conmigo fué enseñado por mandamiento de hombres:
13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
14 διά τούτο, ιδού, θέλω προσθέσει να κάμω θαυμαστόν έργον μεταξύ τούτου του λαού, θαυμαστόν έργον και εξαίσιον· διότι η σοφία των σοφών αυτού θέλει χαθή και η σύνεσις των συνετών αυτού θέλει κρυφθή.
14 Por tanto, he aquí que nuevamente excitaré yo la admiración de este pueblo con un prodigio grande y espantoso; porque perecerá la sabiduría de sus sabios, y se desvanecerá la prudencia de sus prudentes.
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
15 Ουαί εις τους σκάπτοντας βαθέως διά να κρύψωσι την βουλήν αυτών από του Κυρίου, και των οποίων τα έργα είναι εν τω σκότει, και λέγουσι, Τις βλέπει ημάς; και τις εξεύρει ημάς;
15 ¡Ay de los que se esconden de Jehová, encubriendo el consejo, y sus obras son en tinieblas, y dicen: ¿Quién nos ve, y quién nos conoce?
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16 Ω διεστραμμένοι, ο κεραμεύς θέλει νομισθή ως πηλός; το πλάσμα θέλει ειπεί περί του πλάσαντος αυτό, ούτος δεν με έπλασεν; ή το ποίημα θέλει ειπεί περί του ποιήσαντος αυτό, Ούτος δεν είχε νόησιν;
16 Vuestra subversión ciertamente será reputada como el barro del alfarero. ¿La obra dirá de su hacedor, No me hizo; y dirá el vaso de aquel que lo ha formado, No entendió?
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17 Δεν θέλει είσθαι έτι πολύ ολίγος καιρός και ο Λίβανος θέλει μεταβληθή εις καρποφόρον πεδιάδα, και η καρποφόρος πεδιάς θέλει λογισθή ως δάσος;
17 ¿No será tornado de aquí á muy poco tiempo el Líbano en Carmelo, y el Carmelo será estimado por bosque?
17 Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
18 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα οι κωφοί θέλουσιν ακούσει τους λόγους του βιβλίου, και οι οφθαλμοί των τυφλών θέλουσιν ιδεί, ελευθερωθέντες εκ του σκότους και εκ της ομίχλης.
18 Y en aquel tiempo los sordos oirán las palabras del libro, y los ojos de los ciegos verán en medio de la oscuridad y de las tinieblas.
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 Και οι πραείς θέλουσιν επαυξήσει την χαράν αυτών εν Κυρίω, και οι πτωχοί των ανθρώπων θέλουσιν ευφρανθή διά τον Άγιον του Ισραήλ.
19 Entonces los humildes crecerán en alegría en Jehová, y los pobres de los hombres se gozarán en el Santo de Israel.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Διότι ο τρομερός εξέλιπε και ο χλευαστής εξωλοθρεύθη και πάντες οι παραφυλάττοντες την ανομίαν εξηλείφθησαν·
20 Porque el violento será acabado, y el escarnecedor será consumido: serán talados todos los que madrugaban á la iniquidad.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
21 οίτινες κάμνουσι τον άνθρωπον πταίστην διά ένα λόγον, και στήνουσι παγίδα εις τον ελέγχοντα εν τη πύλη, και με ψεύδος διαστρέφουσι το δίκαιον.
21 Los que hacían pecar al hombre en palabra; los que armaban lazo al que reprendía en la puerta, y torcieron lo justo en vanidad.
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
22 Όθεν ο Κύριος ο λυτρώσας τον Αβραάμ ούτω λέγει περί του οίκου Ιακώβ· ο Ιακώβ δεν θέλει πλέον αισχυνθή, και το πρόσωπον αυτού δεν θέλει πλέον ωχριάσει.
22 Por tanto, Jehová que redimió á Abraham, dice así á la casa de Jacob: No será ahora confundido Jacob, ni su rostro se pondrá pálido;
22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
23 Αλλ' όταν ίδη τα τέκνα αυτού, το έργον των χειρών μου, εν μέσω αυτού, θέλουσιν αγιάσει το όνομά μου και θέλουσιν αγιάσει τον Άγιον του Ιακώβ και θέλουσι φοβείσθαι τον Θεόν του Ισραήλ.
23 Porque verá á sus hijos, obra de mis manos en medio de sí, que santificarán mi nombre; y santificarán al Santo de Jacob, y temerán al Dios de Israel.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Οι δε πλανώμενοι κατά το πνεύμα θέλουσιν ελθεί εις σύνεσιν, και οι γογγύζοντες θέλουσι μάθει διδασκαλίαν.
24 Y los errados de espíritu aprenderán inteligencia, y los murmuradores aprenderán doctrina.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”

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).
For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
As also Isaiah says: "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me: howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men." He does not call the law given by Moses commandments of men, but the traditions of the elders themselves which they had invented, and in upholding which …
But He fulfills what the holy prophets truly predicted regarding Him: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the prudence of the prudent." For He does not destroy and bring to nought His own gift in them, but what they arrogate to themselves, and do not hold of Him.

Have ye not heard the prophet, saying (or rather God by the prophet), "This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me?" Therefore, lest this be our case too, wipe thou out the letters, or rather the impressions, which the devil hath engraven in thy soul; and bring me a heart set free from worldly …

… a son; and if a son, then an heir through God." And "like as Christ was raised up from the dead by (dia) the glory of God the Father." ^ Isaiah, moreover, says, "Woe unto them that make deep counsel and not through the Lord;" and many proofs of the use of this phrase in the case of the Spirit …
