Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ λέγων,
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Ύπαγε και βόησον εις τα ώτα της Ιερουσαλήμ λέγων, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Ενθυμούμαι περί σου την προς σε ευμένειάν μου εν τη νεότητί σου, την αγάπην της νυμφεύσεώς σου, ότε με ηκολούθεις εν τη ερήμω, εν γη ασπάρτω·
2 “Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I remember for you the kindness of your youth, your love as a bride, how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 ο Ισραήλ ήτο άγιος εις τον Κύριον, απαρχή των γεννημάτων αυτού· πάντες οι κατατρώγοντες αυτόν ήσαν ένοχοι· κακόν ήλθεν επ' αυτούς, λέγει Κύριος.
3 Israel was holiness to Yahweh, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him will be held guilty. Evil will come on them,”’ says Yahweh.”
4 Ακούσατε τον λόγον του Κυρίου, οίκος Ιακώβ και πάσαι αι συγγένειαι του οίκου Ισραήλ·
4 Hear Yahweh’s word, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!
5 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Ποίαν αδικίαν εύρηκαν εν εμοί οι πατέρες σας, ώστε απεμακρύνθησαν απ' εμού και περιεπάτηααν οπίσω της ματαιότητος και εματαιώθησαν;
5 Yahweh says, “What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after worthless vanity, and have become worthless?
6 και δεν είπον, Που είναι ο Κύριος, ο αναβιβάσας ημάς εκ γης Αιγύπτου, ο οδηγήσας ημάς διά της ερήμου, διά τόπου ερημίας και χασμάτων, διά τόπου ανυδρίας και σκιάς θανάτου, διά τόπου τον οποίον δεν επέρασεν άνθρωπος και όπου άνθρωπος δεν κατώκησε;
6 They didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no one passed through, and where no man lived?’
7 Και σας εισήγαγον εις τόπον καρποφόρον, διά να τρώγητε τους καρπούς αυτού και τα αγαθά αυτού· αφού όμως εισήλθετε, εμιάνατε την γην μου και κατεστήσατε βδέλυγμα την κληρονομίαν μου.
7 I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 Οι ιερείς δεν είπον, Που είναι ο Κύριος; και οι κρατούντες τον νόμον δεν με εγνώρισαν· και οι ποιμένες εγίνοντο παραβάται εναντίον μου, και οι προφήται προεφήτευον διά του Βάαλ και περιεπάτουν οπίσω πραγμάτων ανωφελών.
8 The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and followed things that do not profit.
9 Διά τούτο έτι θέλω κριθή με εσάς, λέγει Κύριος, και με τους υιούς των υιών σας θέλω κριθή.
9 “Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says Yahweh, “and I will contend with your children’s children.
10 Διότι διάβητε εις τας νήσους των Κητιαίων και ιδέτε· και πέμψατε εις Κηδάρ· και παρατηρήσατε επιμελώς, και ιδέτε αν εστάθη τοιούτον πράγμα.
10 For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see. Send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there has been such a thing.
11 Ήλλαξεν έθνος θεούς, αν και ούτοι δεν ήναι θεοί; ο λαός μου όμως ήλλαξε την δόξαν αυτού με πράγμα ανωφελές.
11 Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which doesn’t profit.
12 Εκπλάγητε, ουρανοί, διά τούτο, και φρίξατε, συνταράχθητε σφόδρα, λέγει Κύριος.
12 “Be astonished, you heavens, at this and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate,” says Yahweh.
13 Διότι δύο κακά έπραξεν ο λαός μου· εμέ εγκατέλιπον, την πηγήν των ζώντων υδάτων, και έσκαψαν εις εαυτούς λάκκους, λάκκους συντετριμμένους, οίτινες δεν δύνανται να κρατήσωσιν ύδωρ.
13 “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.
14 Μήπως είναι δούλος ο Ισραήλ; ή δούλος οικογενής; διά τι κατεστάθη λάφυρον;
14 Is Israel a slave? Is he born into slavery? Why has he become a captive?
15 Οι σκύμνοι εβρύχησαν επ' αυτόν, εξέδωκαν την φωνήν αυτών και κατέστησαν την γην αυτού έρημον· αι πόλεις αυτού κατεκάησαν και έμειναν ακατοίκητοι.
15 The young lions have roared at him and raised their voices. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
16 Οι υιοί προσέτι της Νωφ και της Τάφνης συνέτριψαν την κορυφήν σου.
16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
17 Δεν έκαμες τούτο συ εις σεαυτόν, διότι εγκατέλιπες Κύριον τον Θεόν σου ότε σε ώδήγει εν τη οδώ;
17 “Haven’t you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?
18 Και τώρα τι έχεις να κάμης εν τη οδώ της Αιγύπτου, διά να πίης τα ύδατα Σιώρ; ή τι έχεις να κάμης εν τη οδώ της Ασσυρίας, διά να πίης τα ύδατα του ποταμού;
18 Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or why do you go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
19 Η ασέβειά σου θέλει σε παιδεύσει και αι παραβάσεις σου θέλουσι σε ελέγξει· γνώρισον λοιπόν και ιδέ, ότι είναι κακόν και πικρόν, το ότι εγκατέλιπες Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, και δεν είναι ο φόβος μου εν σοι, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων.
19 “Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backsliding will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
20 Επειδή προ πολλού συνέτριψα τον ζυγόν σου, διέσπασα τα δεσμά σου, και συ είπας, δεν θέλω σταθή παραβάτης πλέον· ενώ επί πάντα υψηλόν λόφον και υποκάτω παντός δένδρου πρασίνου περιεπλανήθης εκπορνεύων.
20 “For long ago I broke off your yoke, and burst your bonds. You said, ‘I will not serve;’ for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.
21 Εγώ δε σε εφύτευσα άμπελον εκλεκτήν, σπέρμα όλως αληθινόν· πως λοιπόν μετεβλήθης εις παρεφθαρμένον κλήμα αμπέλου ξένης εις εμέ;
21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?
22 Διά τούτο και εάν πλυθής με νίτρον και πληθύνης εις σεαυτόν το σμήγμα, η ανομία σου μένει σεσημειωμένη ενώπιόν μου, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me,” says the Lord Yahweh.
23 Πως δύνασαι να είπης, δεν εμιάνθην, δεν υπήγα οπίσω των Βααλείμ; ιδέ την οδόν σου εν τη φάραγγι, γνώρισον τι έπραξας· είσαι ταχεία δρομάς διατρέχουσα εν ταις οδοίς αυτής·
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals’? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways,
24 όνος αγρία συνειθισμένη εις την έρημον, αναπνέουσα τον αέρα κατά την επιθυμίαν της καρδίας αυτής· την ορμήν αυτής, τις δύναται να επιστρέψη αυτήν; πάντες οι ζητούντες αυτήν δεν θέλουσι κοπιάζει· εν τω μηνί αυτής θέλουσιν ευρεί αυτήν.
24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her craving. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.
25 Κράτησον τον πόδα σου από του να περιπατήσης ανυπόδητος, και τον λάρυγγά σου από δίψης· αλλά συ είπας, εις μάτην· ουχί· διότι ηγάπησα ξένους και κατόπιν αυτών θέλω υπάγει.
25 “Keep your feet from being bare, and your throat from thirst. But you said, ‘It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.’
26 Καθώς ο κλέπτης αισχύνεται όταν ευρεθή, ούτω θέλει αισχυνθή ο οίκος Ισραήλ, αυτοί, οι βασιλείς αυτών, οι άρχοντες αυτών και οι ιερείς αυτών και οι προφήται αυτών·
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so the house of Israel is ashamed— they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
27 οίτινες λέγουσι προς το ξύλον, Πατήρ μου είσαι· και προς τον λίθον, Συ με εγέννησας· διότι έστρεψαν νώτα προς εμέ και ουχί πρόσωπον· εν τω καιρώ όμως της συμφοράς αυτών θέλουσιν ειπεί, Ανάστηθι και σώσον ημάς.
27 who tell wood, ‘You are my father,’ and a stone, ‘You have given birth to me,’ for they have turned their back to me, and not their face, but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us!’
28 Και που είναι οι θεοί σου, τους οποίους έκαμες εις σεαυτόν; ας αναστηθώσιν, εάν δύνανται να σε σώσωσιν εν τω καιρώ της συμφοράς σου· διότι κατά τον αριθμόν των πόλεών σου ήσαν οι θεοί σου, Ιούδα.
28 “But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble, for you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah.
29 Διά τι ηθέλετε κριθή μετ' εμού; σεις πάντες είσθε παραβάται εις εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
29 “Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me,” says Yahweh.
30 Εις μάτην επάταξα τα τέκνα σας· δεν εδέχθησαν διόρθωσιν· η μάχαιρά σας κατέφαγε τους προφήτας σας ως λέων εξολοθρεύων.
30 “I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 Ω γενεά, ιδέτε τον λόγον του Κυρίου· Εστάθην έρημος εις τον Ισραήλ, γη σκότους; διά τι λέγει ο λαός μου, Ημείς είμεθα κύριοι· δεν θέλομεν ελθεί πλέον προς σε;
31 Generation, consider Yahweh’s word. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more’?
32 Δύναται η κόρη να λησμονήση τους στολισμούς αυτής, η νύμφη τον καλλωπισμόν αυτής; και όμως ο λαός μου με ελησμόνησεν ημέρας αναριθμήτους.
32 “Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.
33 Διά τι καλλωπίζεις την οδόν σου διά να ζητής εραστάς; εις τρόπον ώστε και εδίδαξας τας οδούς σου εις τας κακάς.
33 How well you prepare your way to seek love! Therefore you have even taught the wicked women your ways.
34 Έτι εις τα κράσπεδά σου ευρέθησαν αίματα ψυχών πτωχών αθώων· δεν εύρηκα αυτά ανορύττων, αλλ' επί πάντα ταύτα.
34 Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You didn’t find them breaking in, but it is because of all these things.
35 Και όμως λέγεις, Επειδή είμαι αθώος, βεβαίως ο θυμός αυτού θέλει αποστραφή απ' εμού. Ιδού, εγώ θέλω κριθή μετά σου, διότι λέγεις, Δεν ημάρτησα.
35 “Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36 Διά τι περιπλανάσαι τόσον διά να αλλάξης την οδόν σου; θέλεις καταισχυνθή και υπό της Αιγύπτου, καθώς κατησχύνθης υπό της Ασσυρίας.
36 Why do you go about so much to change your ways? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 Ναι, θέλεις εξέλθει εντεύθεν με τας χείρας σου επί την κεφαλήν σου· διότι ο Κύριος απέβαλε τας ελπίδας σου και δεν θέλεις ευημερήσει εις αυτάς.
37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head; for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you won’t prosper with them.

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).

    Those, therefore, who do not partake of Him, are neither nourished into life from the mother's breasts, nor do they enjoy that most limpid fountain which issues from the body of Christ; but they dig for themselves broken cisterns out of earthly trenches, and drink putrid water out of the mire, fleeing from the faith of the Church lest they …
