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 Ιδού, βασιλεύς θέλει βασιλεύσει εν δικαιοσύνη, και άρχοντες θέλουσιν άρχει εν κρίσει.
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 Και ο άνθρωπος θέλει είσθαι ως σκέπη από του ανέμου και ως καταφύγιον από της τρικυμίας· ως ποταμοί ύδατος εν ξηρά γη, ως σκιά μεγάλου βράχου εν γη διψώση.
2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 Και οι οφθαλμοί των βλεπόντων δεν θέλουσιν είσθαι εσκοτισμένοι, και τα ώτα των ακουόντων θέλουσιν είσθαι προσεκτικά.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Και η καρδία των θρασέων θέλει καταλάβει σοφίαν, και η γλώσσα των τραυλιζόντων θέλει επιταχύνει να λαλή καθαρά.
4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 Ο αχρείος δεν θέλει ονομάζεσθαι πλέον ελευθέριος, και ο φιλάργυρος δεν θέλει λέγεσθαι μεγαλοπρεπής.
5 The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 Διότι ο αχρείος θέλει λαλεί αχρεία, και η καρδία αυτού θέλει εργάζεσθαι ανομίαν, διά να εκτελή πονηρίαν και να προφέρη πλάνην εναντίον του Κυρίου, ώστε να στερή την ψυχήν του πεινώντος και να εμποδίζη την πόσιν εις τον διψώντα.
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Του δε φιλαργύρου τα όπλα είναι άδικα· αυτός βουλεύεται πονηρίας διά να αφανίση τον πτωχόν με λόγους ψευδείς, έτι και όταν ο ενδεής λαλή δίκαια.
7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8 Αλλ' ο ελευθέριος βουλεύεται ελευθέρια και επί ελευθέρια θέλει στηρίζεσθαι αυτός.
8 But the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things.
9 Σηκώθητε, γυναίκες εύποροι· ακούσατε την φωνήν μου, θυγατέρες αμέριμνοι· ακροάσθητε τους λόγους μου·
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
10 ημέρας και έτη θέλετε είσθαι τεταραγμέναι, σεις αι αμέριμνοι· διότι ο τρυγητός θέλει χαθή, η συγκομιδή δεν θέλει ελθεί·
10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage will fail. The harvest won’t come.
11 τρέμετε, αι εύποροι· ταράχθητε, αι αμέριμνοι· ενδύθητε και γυμνώθητε και περιζώσατε τας οσφύας με σάκκον.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12 Θέλουσι κτυπήσει τα στήθη διά τους ηδονικούς αγρούς, διά τους καρποφόρους αμπελώνας.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Άκανθαι και τρίβολοι θέλουσι βλαστήσει επί την γην του λαού μου· έτι και επί πάσας τας οικίας της χαράς εν τη ευφραινομένη πόλει.
13 Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14 Διότι τα παλάτια θέλουσιν εγκαταλειφθή· το πλήθος της πόλεως θέλει ερημωθή· τα φρούρια και οι πύργοι θέλουσι κατασταθή έως αιώνος σπήλαια, τρυφή αγρίων όνων, βοσκή ποιμνίων·
14 For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
15 εωσού το πνεύμα εξ ύψους εκχυθή εφ' ημάς και η έρημος γείνη πεδιάς καρποφόρος, η δε καρποφόρος πεδιάς λογισθή ως δάσος.
15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16 Τότε κρίσις θέλει κατασκηνώσει εν τη ερήμω και δικαιοσύνη θέλει κατοικήσει εν τη καρποφόρω πεδιάδι.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
17 Το δε έργον της δικαιοσύνης θέλει είσθαι ειρήνη· και το αποτέλεσμα της δικαιοσύνης ησυχία και ασφάλεια εις τον αιώνα.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Και ο λαός μου θέλει κατοικεί ειρηνικήν κατοικίαν και οικήματα ασφαλή και ησύχους τόπους ευπορίας,
18 My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
19 και θέλει πίπτει χάλαζα κατασυντρίβουσα το δάσος, και η πόλις με όλεθρον θέλει ανατραπή.
19 though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.
20 Μακάριοι σεις οι σπείροντες πλησίον παντός ύδατος, οι εξαποστέλλοντες εκεί τους πόδας του βοός και της όνου.
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

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).
Behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall rule with judgment." And with regard to the foundation on which it shall be rebuilt, he says: "Behold, I will lay in order for thee a carbuncle stone, and sapphire for thy foundations; and I will lay thy ramparts with jasper, and thy gates with crystal, and thy wall with choice …
