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 Πλησιάσατε, έθνη, διά να ακούσητε· και προσέξατε, λαοί· ας ακούση η γη και το πλήρωμα αυτής· η οικουμένη και πάντα όσα γεννώνται εν αυτή.
1 Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
2 Διότι ο θυμός του Κυρίου είναι επί πάντα τα έθνη, και η φλογερά οργή αυτού επί πάντα τα στρατεύματα αυτών· κατέστρεψεν αυτά ολοκλήρως· παρέδωκεν αυτά εις σφαγήν.
2 For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
3 Οι δε πεφονευμένοι αυτών θέλουσι ριφθή έξω, και η δυσωδία αυτών θέλει αναδοθή από των πτωμάτων αυτών· τα δε όρη θέλουσι διαλυθή από του αίματος αυτών.
3 Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in their blood.
4 Και πάσα η στρατιά του ουρανού θέλει λυώσει, και οι ουρανοί θέλουσι περιτυλιχθή ως βιβλίον, και πάσα η στρατιά αυτών θέλει πέσει, καθώς πίπτει το φύλλον από της αμπέλου και καθώς πίπτουσι τα φύλλα από της συκής.
4 All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
5 Διότι η μάχαιρά μου εμεθύσθη εν τω ουρανώ· ιδού, επί την Ιδουμαίαν και επί τον λαόν της καταστροφής μου θέλει καταβή διά κρίσιν.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
6 Η μάχαιρα του Κυρίου είναι πλήρης αίματος· επαχύνθη με το πάχος, με το αίμα των αρνίων και τράγων, με το πάχος των νεφρών των κριών· διότι ο Κύριος έχει θυσίαν εν Βοσόρρα και σφαγήν μεγάλην εν τη γη της Ιδουμαίας.
6 Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Και οι μονόκεροι θέλουσι καταβή μετ' αυτών και οι μόσχοι μετά των ταύρων· και η γη αυτών θέλει μεθυσθή από αίματος, και το χώμα αυτών θέλει παχυνθή από πάχους.
7 The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
8 Διότι είναι ημέρα εκδικήσεως του Κυρίου, ενιαυτός ανταποδόσεων διά την κρίσιν της Σιών.
8 For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Και τα ρεύματα αυτής θέλουσι μεταβληθή εις πίσσαν και το χώμα αυτής εις θείον, και η γη αυτής θέλει κατασταθή πίσσα καιομένη·
9 Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, and its land will become burning pitch.
10 νύκτα και ημέραν δεν θέλει σβεσθή· ο καπνός αυτής θέλει αναβαίνει ακαταπαύστως· από γενεάς εις γενεάν θέλει μένει ηρημωμένη· και δεν θέλει υπάρχει ο διαβαίνων δι' αυτής εις αιώνα αιώνος.
10 It won’t be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
11 Αλλ' ο πελεκάν και ο ακανθόχοιρος θέλουσι κληρονομήσει αυτήν· και η γλαύξ και ο κόραξ θέλουσι κατοικεί εν αυτή· και ο Κύριος θέλει εξαπλώσει επ' αυτής, σχοινίον ερημώσεως και στάθμην κρημνισμού.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Θέλουσι καλέσει εις την βασιλείαν τους μεγιστάνας αυτής αλλ' ουδείς θέλει είσθαι εκεί· και πάντες οι άρχοντες αυτής θέλουσιν ελθεί εις το μηδέν.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 Και άκανθαι θέλουσι βλαστήσει εν τοις παλατίοις αυτής, κνίδαι και βάτοι εν τοις οχυρώμασιν αυτής· και θέλει είσθαι κατοικία θώων, αυλή στρουθοκαμήλων.
13 Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
14 Και οι λύκοι θέλουσι συναπαντάσθαι εκεί με τους αιλούρους· και ο σάτυρος θέλει φωνάζει προς τον σύντροφον αυτού· ο κόκκυξ έτι θέλει αναπαύεσθαι εκεί, ευρίσκων εις εαυτόν τόπον αναπαύσεως.
14 The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.
15 Εκεί θέλει εμφωλεύει ο νυκτοκόραξ και θέλει γεννά και επωάζει και συνάγει τους νεοσσούς υπό την σκιάν αυτού· εκεί θέλουσι συνάγεσθαι και οι γύπες, έκαστος μετά του συντρόφου αυτού.
15 The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
16 Ζητήσατε εν τω βιβλίω του Κυρίου και αναγνώσατε· ουδέν εκ τούτων θέλει λείψει, ουδέν θέλει είσθαι χωρίς του συντρόφου αυτού· διότι αυτό το στόμα του Κυρίου προσέταξε, και αυτό το πνεύμα αυτού συνήγαγε ταύτα.
16 Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 Και αυτός έρριψε τον κλήρον περί αυτών, και η χειρ αυτού διεμοίρασεν εις αυτά με στάθμην εκείνην την γήν· θέλουσι κληρονομήσει αυτήν εις τον αιώνα· από γενεάς εις γενεάν θέλουσι κατοικεί εν αυτή.
17 He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in 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).
Yea, both heaven and earth shall pass away, but Thy Words shall not pass away. Because the scroll shall be rolled together, and the grass over which it was spread shall with its goodliness pass away; but Thy Word remaineth for ever, which now appeareth unto us in the dark image of the clouds, and through the glass of the …

Listen to Esaias, saying, And the heaven shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all the stars shall fall, as leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig-tree.
