WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Η αμαρτία του Ιούδα είναι γεγραμμένη με γραφίδα σιδηράν, με όνυχα αδαμάντινον, ενεχαράχθη επί της πλακός της καρδίας αυτών και επί των κεράτων των θυσιαστηρίων υμών·
1 EL pecado de Judá escrito está con cincel de hierro, [y] con punta de diamante: esculpido está en la tabla de su corazón, y en los lados de vuestros altares;
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
2 ώστε οι υιοί αυτών ενθυμούνται τα θυσιαστήρια αυτών και τα άλση αυτών, μετά των πρασίνων δένδρων επί τους υψηλούς λόφους.
2 Cuando sus hijos se acuerdan de sus altares y de sus bosques, junto á los árboles verdes y en los collados altos.
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
3 Ω όρος μου εν τη πεδιάδι, θέλω δώσει την περιουσίαν σου και πάντας τους θησαυρούς σου εις διαρπαγήν και τους υψηλούς σου τόπους κατά πάντα τα όριά σου, διά την αμαρτίαν.
3 ¡Oh mi montaña! tu hacienda en el campo y todos tus tesoros daré á saco, por el pecado de tus altos en todos tus términos.
3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4 Και συ, μάλιστα αυτή συ, θέλεις εκβληθή από της κληρονομίας σου, την οποίαν έδωκα εις σε, και θέλω σε καταδουλώσει εις τους εχθρούς σου, εν γη την οποίαν δεν εγνώρισας· διότι πυρ εξήψατε εν τω θυμώ μου, το οποίον θέλει καίεσθαι εις τον αιώνα.
4 Y habrá en ti cesación de tu heredad, la cual yo te dí, y te haré servir á tus enemigos en tierra que no conociste; porque fuego habéis encendido en mi furor, para siempre arderá.
4 You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you. I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know, for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
5 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Επικατάρατος ο άνθρωπος, όστις ελπίζει επί άνθρωπον και κάμνει σάρκα βραχίονα αυτού και του οποίου η καρδία απομακρύνεται από του Κυρίου.
5 Así ha dicho Jehová: Maldito el varón que confía en el hombre, y pone carne por su brazo, y su corazón se aparta de Jehová.
5 Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
6 Διότι θέλει είσθαι ως η αγριομυρίκη εν ερήμω, και δεν θέλει ιδεί όταν έλθη το αγαθόν· αλλά θέλει κατοικεί τόπους ξηρούς εν ερήμω, γην αλμυράν και ακατοίκητον.
6 Pues será como la retama en el desierto, y no verá cuando viniere el bien; sino que morará en las securas en el desierto, en tierra despoblada y deshabitada.
6 For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land.
7 Ευλογημένος ο άνθρωπος ο ελπίζων επί Κύριον και του οποίου ο Κύριος είναι η ελπίς.
7 Bendito el varón que se fía en Jehová, y cuya confianza es Jehová.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
8 Διότι θέλει είσθαι ως δένδρον πεφυτευμένον πλησίον των υδάτων, το οποίον εξαπλόνει τας ρίζας αυτού πλησίον του ποταμού, και δεν θέλει ιδεί όταν έρχηται το καύμα αλλά το φύλλον αυτού θέλει θάλλει· και δεν θέλει μεριμνήσει εν τω έτει της ανομβρίας ουδέ θέλει παύσει από του να κάμνη καρπόν.
8 Porque él será como el árbol plantado junto á las aguas, que junto á la corriente echará sus raices, y no verá cuando viniere el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de hacer fruto.
8 For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
9 Η καρδία είναι απατηλή υπέρ πάντα και σφόδρα διεφθαρμένη· τις δύναται να γνωρίση αυτήν;
9 Engañoso es el corazón más que todas las cosas, y perverso; ¿quién lo conocerá?
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 Εγώ ο Κύριος εξετάζω την καρδίαν, δοκιμάζω τους νεφρούς, διά να δώσω εις έκαστον κατά τας οδούς αυτού, κατά τον καρπόν των έργων αυτού.
10 Yo Jehová, que escudriño el corazón, que pruebo los riñones, para dar á cada uno según su camino, según el fruto de sus obras.
10 “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
11 Καθώς η πέρδιξ η επωάζουσα και μη νεοσσεύουσα, ούτως ο αποκτών πλούτη αδίκως θέλει αφήσει αυτά εις το ήμισυ των ημερών αυτού και εις τα έσχατα αυτού θέλει είσθαι άφρων.
11 Como la perdiz que cubre lo que no puso, es el que allega riquezas, y no con justicia; en medio de sus días las dejará, y en su postrimería será insipiente.
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
12 Θρόνος δόξης υψωμένος εξ αρχής είναι ο τόπος του αγιαστηρίου ημών.
12 Trono de gloria, excelso desde el principio, [es] el lugar de nuestro santuario.
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Κύριε, η ελπίς του Ισραήλ, πάντες οι εγκαταλείποντές σε θέλουσι καταισχυνθή και οι αποστάται εμού θέλουσι γραφθή εν τη γή· διότι εγκατέλιπον τον Κύριον, την πηγήν των ζώντων υδάτων.
13 ¡Oh Jehová, esperanza de Israel! todos los que te dejan, serán avergonzados; y los que de mí se apartan, serán escritos en el polvo; porque dejaron la vena de aguas vivas, á Jehová.
13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
14 Ιασαί με, Κύριε, και θέλω ιαθή· σώσον με και θέλω σωθή· διότι συ είσαι το καύχημά μου·
14 Sáname, oh Jehová, y seré sano; sálvame, y seré salvo: porque tú eres mi alabanza.
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.
15 Ιδού, ούτοι λέγουσι προς εμέ, Που ο λόγος του Κυρίου; ας έλθη τώρα.
15 He aquí que ellos me dicen: ¿Dónde está la palabra de Jehová? venga ahora.
15 Behold, they ask me, “Where is Yahweh’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”
16 Αλλ' εγώ δεν απεσύρθην από του να σε ακολουθώ ως ποιμήν, ουδέ επεθύμησα την ημέραν της θλίψεως· συ εξεύρεις τούτο· τα εξελθόντα εκ των χειλέων μου ήσαν ενώπιόν σου.
16 Mas yo no me entrometí á ser pastor en pos de ti, ni deseé día de calamidad, tú lo sabes. Lo que de mi boca ha salido, fué en tu presencia.
16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 Μη γείνης εις εμέ τρόμος· συ είσαι η ελπίς μου εν ημέρα συμφοράς·
17 No me seas tú por espanto: esperanza mía eres tú en el día malo.
17 Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Ας καταισχυνθώσιν οι καταδιώκοντές με, εγώ δε ας μη καταισχυνθώ· ας τρομάξωσιν εκείνοι αλλ' ας μη τρομάξω εγώ· φέρε επ' αυτούς ημέραν συμφοράς και σύντριψον αυτούς διπλούν σύντριμμα.
18 Avergüéncense los que me persiguen, y no me avergüence yo; asómbrense ellos, y yo no me asombre: trae sobre ellos día malo, y quebrántalos con doble quebrantamiento.
18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Ούτως είπε Κύριος προς εμέ· Ύπαγε και στήθι εν τη πύλη των υιών του λαού σου, δι' ης εισέρχονται οι βασιλείς Ιούδα και δι' ης εξέρχονται, και εν πάσαις ταις πύλαις της Ιερουσαλήμ·
19 Así me ha dicho Jehová: Ve, y ponte á la puerta de los hijos del pueblo, por la cual entran y salen los reyes de Judá, y á todas las puertas de Jerusalem,
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ακούσατε τον λόγον του Κυρίου, βασιλείς Ιούδα και, πας ο Ιούδας και πάντες οι κάτοικοι της Ιερουσαλήμ, οι εισερχόμενοι διά των πυλών τούτων·
20 Y diles: Oid la palabra de Jehová, reyes de Judá, y todo Judá, y todos los moradores de Jerusalem que entráis por estas puertas.
20 Tell them, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Προσέχετε εις εαυτούς, και μη βαστάζετε φορτίον την ημέραν του σαββάτου μηδέ εμβιβάζετε διά των πυλών της Ιερουσαλήμ·
21 Así ha dicho Jehová: Guardaos por vuestras vidas, y no traigáis carga en el día del sábado, para meter por las puertas de Jerusalem;
21 Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 μηδέ εκφέρετε φορτίον εκ των οικιών σας την ημέραν του σαββάτου και μη κάμνετε μηδεμίαν εργασίαν· αλλά αγιάζετε την ημέραν του σαββάτου, καθώς προσέταξα εις τους πατέρας υμών·
22 Ni saquéis carga de vuestras casas en el día del sábado, ni hagáis obra alguna: mas santificad el día del sábado, como mandé á vuestros padres;
22 Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
23 δεν υπήκουσαν όμως ουδέ έκλιναν το ωτίον αυτών, αλλ' εσκλήρυναν τον τράχηλον αυτών διά να μη ακούσωσι και διά να μη δεχθώσι νουθεσίαν.
23 Mas ellos no oyeron, ni inclinaron su oído, antes endurecieron su cerviz, por no oir, ni recibir corrección.
23 But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 Αλλ' εάν υπακούσητε εις εμέ, λέγει Κύριος, ώστε να μη εμβιβάζητε φορτίον διά των πυλών της πόλεως ταύτης την ημέραν του σαββάτου, αλλά να αγιάζητε την ημέραν του σαββάτου μη κάμνοντες εν αυτή μηδεμίαν εργασίαν·
24 Será empero, si vosotros me obedeciereis, dice Jehová, no metiendo carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en el día del sábado, sino que santificareis el día del sábado, no haciendo en él ninguna obra;
24 It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says Yahweh, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
25 τότε θέλουσιν εισέλθει διά των πυλών της πόλεως ταύτης βασιλείς και άρχοντες καθήμενοι επί του θρόνου του Δαβίδ, εποχούμενοι επί αμάξας και ίππους, αυτοί και οι άρχοντες αυτών, οι άνδρες Ιούδα και οι κάτοικοι της Ιερουσαλήμ· και η πόλις αύτη θέλει κατοικείσθαι εις τον αιώνα.
25 Que entrarán por las puertas de esta ciudad, en carros y en caballos, los reyes y los príncipes que se sientan sobre el trono de David, ellos y sus príncipes, los varones de Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalem: y esta ciudad será habitada para siempre.
25 then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever.
26 Και θέλουσιν ελθεί εκ των πόλεων Ιούδα και εκ των πέριξ της Ιερουσαλήμ και εκ της γης Βενιαμίν και εκ της πεδινής και εκ των ορέων και εκ του νότου, φέροντες ολοκαυτώματα και θυσίας και προσφοράς εξ αλφίτων και λίβανον, φέροντες έτι και προσφοράς ευχαριστηρίους εις τον οίκον του Κυρίου.
26 Y vendrán de las ciudades de Judá, y de los alrededores de Jerusalem, y de tierra de Benjamín, y de los campos, y del monte, y del austro, trayendo holocausto y sacrificio, y ofrenda é incienso, y trayendo sacrificio de alabanza á la casa de Jehová.
26 They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to Yahweh’s house.
27 Αλλ' εάν δεν μου υπακούσητε, ώστε να αγιάζητε την ημέραν του σαββάτου και να μη βαστάζητε φορτίον και εμβιβάζητε εις τας πύλας της Ιερουσαλήμ την ημέραν του σαββάτου, τότε θέλω ανάψει πυρ εν ταις πύλαις αυτής και θέλει καταφάγει τα παλάτια της Ιερουσαλήμ και δεν θέλει σβεσθή.
27 Mas si no me oyereis para santificar el día del sábado, y para no traer carga ni meterla por las puertas de Jerusalem en día de sábado, yo haré encender fuego en sus puertas, y consumirá los palacios de Jerusalem, y no se apagará.
27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.”’”

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).
… Christ above, who extended himself through Horos, and imparted a form to their mother; or is it He who is from the Virgin, Emmanuel, who did eat butter and honey, of whom the prophet declared, "He is also a man, and who shall know him?" He was likewise preached by Paul: "For I delivered," he says, "unto you first of …
… called his name Enos, which means man," and "He hoped to call on the name of the Lord God," are sufficient proof that man ought not to rest his hopes in himself; as it is elsewhere written, "Cursed is the man that trusteth in man." Consequently no one ought to trust in himself that he shall become a citizen of …

… to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but God on the heart." And by many …

… lying images, wherein there is no profit." But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be slain, were not going to acknowledge Him, this prophet thus intimates: "Heavy is the heart through all; and He is a man, and who shall know Him?"
