Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
1ΤΗ ΜΩΑΒ οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ, ὅτι ὤλετο, ἐλήφθη Καριαθαὶμ, ᾐσχύνθη Ἀμὰθ καὶ Ἀγάθ.
2This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
2Οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωὰβ, γαυρίαμα ἐν Ἐσεβὼν, ἐλογίσατο ἐπʼ αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται· ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα,
3The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
3ὅτι φωνὴ κεκραγότων ἐξ Ὠρωναὶμ, ὄλεθρον καὶ σύντριμμα μέγα·
4Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
4Συνετρίβη Μωὰβ, ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Ζογόρα,
5Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
5ὅτι ἐπλήσθη Ἀλὼθ ἐν κλαυθμῷ· ἀναβήσεται κλαίων ἐν ὁδῷ Ὠρωναὶμ, κραυγὴν συντρίμματος ἠκούσατε.
6For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
6Φεύγετε καὶ σώσατε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσεσθε ὥσπερ ὄνος ἄγριος ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
7For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
7Ἐπειδὴ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν ὀχυρώματί σου, καὶ σὺ συλληφθήσῃ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Χαμὼς ἐν ἀποικίᾳ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.
8Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
8Καὶ ἥξει ὄλεθρος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν, οὐ μὴ σωθῇ, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ αὐλῶν, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ πεδινὴ, καθὼς εἶπε Κύριος.
9They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
9Δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωὰβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἁφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;
10Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
10Ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ποιῶν τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου ἀμελῶς, ἐξαίρων μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ αἵματος.
11For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
11Ἀνεπαύσατο Μωὰβ ἐκ παιδαρίου, καὶ πεποιθὼς ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνέχεεν ἐξ ἀγγείου εἰς ἀγγεῖον, καὶ εἰς ἀποικισμὸν οὐκ ᾤχετο· διατοῦτο ἔστη γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὀσμὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέλιπε.
12They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
12Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστελῶ αὐτῷ κλίνοντας, καὶ κλινοῦσιν αὐτὸν, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ λεπτυνοῦσι, καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ συγκόψουσι.
13Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
13Καὶ καταισχυνθήσεται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ Χαμὼς, ὥσπερ κατῃσχύνθη οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βαιθὴλ ἐλπίδος αὐτῶν πεποιθότες ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς.
14I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,” declares the LORD.
14Πῶς ἐρεῖτε, ἰσχυροί ἐσμεν, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἰσχύων εἰς τὰ πολεμικά;
15This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
15Ὤλετο Μωὰβ πόλις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ νεανίσκοι αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς σφαγήν.
16This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
16Ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Μωὰβ ἐλθεῖν, καὶ πονηρία αὐτοῦ ταχεῖα σφόδρα.
17So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
17Κινήσατε αὐτῷ πάντες κυκλόθεν αὐτοῦ, πάντες ἔκδοτε ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε, πῶς συνετρίβη βακτηρία εὐκλεὴς, ῥάβδος μεγαλώματος;
18I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
18Κατάβηθι ἀπὸ δόξης, καὶ κάθισον ἐν ὑγρασίᾳ καθημένη· Δαιβὼν ἐκτριβήσεται, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωὰβ, ἀνέβη εἰς σὲ λυμαινόμενος ὀχύρωμά σου.
19After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
19Ἐφʼ ὁδοῦ στῆθι, καὶ ἔπιδε καθημένη ἐν Ἀρὴρ, καὶ ἐρώτησον φεύγοντα, καὶ σωζόμενον, καὶ εἰπὸν, τί ἐγένετο;
20Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the LORD.
20Κατῃσχύνθη Μωὰβ, ὅτι συνετρίβη· ὀλόλυξον καὶ κέκραξον, ἀνάγγειλον ἐν Ἀρνὼν, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωὰβ,
21“Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
21καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν γῆν Μεισὼρ ἐπὶ Χελὼν, καὶ Ῥεφὰς, καὶ Μωφὰς,
22How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
22καὶ ἐπὶ Δαιβὼν, καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ, καὶ ἐπʼ οἶκον Δαιθλαθαὶμ,
23This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
23καὶ ἐπὶ Καριαθαὶμ, καὶ ἐπʼ οἶκον Γαιμὼλ, καὶ ἐπʼ οἶκον Μαὼν,
24And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
24καὶ ἐπὶ Καριὼθ, καὶ ἐπὶ Βοσὸρ, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Μωὰβ τὰς πόῤῥω καὶ τὰς ἐγγύς.
25for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
25Κατεάχθη κέρας Μωὰβ, καὶ τὸ ἐπίχειρον αὐτοῦ συνετρίβη.
26At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
26Μεθύσατε αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη· καὶ ἐπικρούσει Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται εἰς γέλωτα καὶ αὐτός.
27“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
27Καὶ εἰ μὴ εἰς γελοιασμὸν ἦν σοι Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐν κλοπαῖς σου εὑρέθη, ὅτι ἐπολέμεις αὐτόν.
28Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
28Κατέλιπον τὰς πόλεις, καὶ ᾤκησαν ἐν πέτραις οἱ κατοικοῦντες Μωάβ· ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ περιστεραὶ νοσσεύουσαι ἐν πέτραις, στόματι βοθύνου.
29“In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
29Καὶ ἤκουσα ὕβριν Μωὰβ, ὕβρισε λίαν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ.
30Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
30Ἐγὼ δὲ ἔγνων ἔργα αὐτοῦ· οὐχὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν αὐτῷ οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησε;
31Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
31Διατοῦτο ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ὀλολύζετε πάντοθεν· βοήσατε ἐπʼ ἄνδρας κειράδας αὐχμοῦ.
32It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.
32Ὡς κλαυθμὸν Ἰαζὴρ ἀποκλαύσομαί σοι ἄμπελος Ἀσερημὰ, κλήματά σου διῆλθε θάλασσαν, πόλεις Ἰαζὴρ ἥψαντο, ἐπὶ ὀπώραν σου, ἐπὶ τρυγηταῖς σου ὄλεθρος ἐπέπεσε.
33“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
33Συνεψήσθη χαρμοσύνη καὶ εὐφροσύνη ἐκ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος· καὶ οἶνος ἦν ἐπὶ ληνοῖς σου, πρωῒ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν, οὐδὲ δείλης οὐκ ἐποίησαν,
34No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
34αἱ δὲ ἀπὸ κραυγῆς Ἐσεβὼν ἕως Αἰτὰμ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Ζογὸρ ἕως Ὠρωναὶμ, καὶ ἀγγελίαν σαλασία, ὅτι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ Νεβρεὶν εἰς κατάκαυμα ἔσται.
35Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
35Καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸν Μωὰβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ἀναβαίνοντα ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν, καὶ θυμιῶντα θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.
36“Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
36Διατοῦτο καρδία τοῦ Μωὰβ, ὥσπερ αὐλοὶ βουβήσουσι, καρδία μου ἐπʼ ἀνθρώπους κειράδας ὥσπερ αὐλὸς βομβήσει· διατοῦτο ἃ περιεποιήσατο, ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου.
37This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,” declares the LORD.
37Πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ξυρηθήσονται, καὶ πᾶς πώγων ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες κόψονται, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσης ὀσφύος σάκκος.
38“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
38Καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν δωμάτων Μωὰβ, καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ὅτι συνέτριψα, φησὶ Κύριος, ὡς ἀγγεῖον, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ.
39The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
39Πῶς κατήλλαξε; πῶς ἔστρεψε νῶτον Μωάβ; ᾐσχύνθη, καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ εἰς γέλωτα, καὶ ἐγκότημα πᾶσι τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.
40The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
