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 Διότι ιδού, ο Κύριος, ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, θέλει αφαιρέσει από της Ιερουσαλήμ και από του Ιούδα υποστήριγμα και βοήθειαν, άπαν το υποστήριγμα του άρτου και άπαν το υποστήριγμα του ύδατος,
1 For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 ισχυρόν και πολεμιστήν, κριτήν και προφήτην και συνετόν και πρεσβύτερον,
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3 πεντηκόνταρχον και έντιμον και σύμβουλον και σοφόν τεχνίτην και συνετόν γοητευτήν.
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4 Και θέλω δώσει παιδάρια άρχοντας αυτών, και νήπια θέλουσιν εξουσιάζει επ' αυτών.
4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5 Και ο λαός θέλει καταδυναστεύεσθαι, άνθρωπος υπό ανθρώπου, και έκαστος υπό του πλησίον αυτού· το παιδίον θέλει αλαζονεύεσθαι προς τον γέροντα, και ο ποταπός προς τον έντιμον.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.
6 Εάν τις πιάση τον αδελφόν αυτού εκ του οίκου του πατρός αυτού, λέγων, Ιμάτιον έχεις, γενού αρχηγός ημών, και ο αφανισμός ούτος ας ήναι υπό την χείρα σου.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
7 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλει ομόσει, λέγων, δεν θέλω γείνει θεραπευτής διότι εν τη οικία μου δεν είναι ούτε άρτος ούτε ιμάτιον· μη με κάμητε αρχηγόν του λαού
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
8 διότι ηφανίσθη η Ιερουσαλήμ και έπεσεν ο Ιούδας, επειδή η γλώσσα αυτών και τα έργα αυτών ήναι εναντία εις τον Κύριον, παροξύνωσι τους οφθαλμούς της δόξης αυτού.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Η ύψωσις του προσώπου αυτών μαρτυρεί εναντίον αυτών· και κηρύττουσι την αμαρτίαν αυτών ως τα Σόδομα· δεν κρύπτουσιν αυτήν. Ουαί εις την ψυχήν αυτών διότι ανταπέδωκαν εις εαυτούς κακά.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Είπατε προς τον δίκαιον ότι καλόν θέλει είσθαι εις αυτόν· διότι θέλει φάγει τον καρπόν των έργων αυτού.
10 Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Ουαί εις τον άνομον κακόν θέλει είσθαι εις αυτόν διότι η ανταπόδοσις των χειρών αυτού θέλει γείνει εις αυτόν.
11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
12 Τον λαόν μου, παιδάρια καταδυναστεύουσιν αυτόν, και γυναίκες εξουσιάζουσιν επ' αυτού. Λαέ μου, οι οδηγοί σου σε κάμνουσι να πλανάσαι και καταστρέφουσι την οδόν των βημάτων σου.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 Ο Κύριος εξεγείρεται διά να δικάση και ίσταται διά να κρίνη τους λαούς.
13 Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14 Ο Κύριος θέλει εισέλθει εις κρίσιν μετά των πρεσβυτέρων του λαού αυτού και μετά των αρχόντων αυτού· διότι σεις κατεφάγετε τον αμπελώνα· τα αρπάγματα του πτωχού είναι εν ταις οικίαις υμών.
14 Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 Διά τι καταδυναστεύετε τον λαόν μου και καταθλίβετε τα πρόσωπα των πτωχών; λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων.
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
16 Και λέγει Κύριος, Επειδή αι θυγατέρες της Σιών υπερηφανεύθησαν και περιπατούσι με υψωμένον τράχηλον και με όμματα άσεμνα, περιπατούσαι τρυφηλά και τρίζουσαι με τους πόδας αυτών,
16 Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17 διά τούτο ο Κύριος θέλει φαλακρώσει την κορυφήν της κεφαλής των θυγατέρων της Σιών, και ο Κύριος θέλει εκκαλύψει την αισχύνην αυτών.
17 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”
18 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα ο Κύριος θέλει αφαιρέσει την δόξαν των τριζόντων στολισμών και τα εμπλόκια και τους μηνίσκους,
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19 τα περιδέραια και τα βραχιόλια και τας καλύπτρας,
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20 τους κεκρυφάλους και τας περισκελίδας και τα κεφαλόδεσμα και τας μυροθήκας και τα ενώτια,
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21 τα δακτυλίδια και τα έρρινα,
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
22 τας ποικίλας στολάς και τα επενδύματα και τα περικαλύμματα και τα θυλάκια,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23 τα κάτοπτρα και τα λεπτά λινά και τας μίτρας και τα θέριστρα.
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24 Και αντί της γλυκείας οσμής θέλει είσθαι δυσωδία και αντί ζώνης σχοινίον και αντί καλλικομίας φαλάκρωμα και αντί επιστομαχίου περίζωμα σάκκινον ηλιόκαυμα αντί ώραιότητος.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Οι άνδρες σου θέλουσι πέσει εν μαχαίρα και η δύναμίς σου εν πολέμω.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Και αι πύλαι αυτής θέλουσι στενάξει και πενθήσει και αυτή θέλει κοίτεσθαι επί του εδάφους ηρημωμένη.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.

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).
And shouldest thou enter into a church, thou goest forth, without getting anything but countless leers, and revilings, and curses, not from the beholders only, but also from the prophet. For straightway Isaiah, that hath the fullest voice of all, as soon as he hath seen thee, will cry out, "These things saith the Lord against the princely daughters of …
