1The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds come from the south, it cometh from the desert from a terrible land.
1ΩΣ καταιγὶς δι᾿ ἐρήμου διέλθοι ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς, φοβερὸν
2A grievous vision is told me: he that is unfaithful dealeth unfaithfully: and he that is a spoiler, spoileth. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Mede: I have made all the mourning thereof to cease.
2τὸ ὅραμα καὶ σκληρὸν ἀνηγγέλη μοι. ὁ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ, ὁ ἀνομῶν ἀνομεῖ. ἐπ᾿ ἐμοὶ οἱ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις τῶν Περσῶν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἔρχονται. νῦν στενάξω καὶ παρακαλέσω ἐμαυτόν.
3Therefore are my loins filled with pain, anguish hath taken hold of me, as the anguish of a woman in labour: I fell down at the hearing of it, I was troubled at the seeing of it.
3διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ ὀσφύς μου ἐκλύσεως, καὶ ὠδῖνες ἔλαβόν με ὡς τὴν τίκτουσαν· ἠδίκησα τοῦ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι, ἐσπούδασα τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν.
4My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me.
4ἡ καρδία μου πλανᾶται, καὶ ἡ ἀνομία με βαπτίζει, ἡ ψυχή μου ἐφέστηκεν εἰς φόβον.
5Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.
5ἑτοίμασον τὴν τράπεζαν· φάγετε, πίετε· ἀναστάντες, οἱ ἄρχοντες, ἑτοιμάσατε θυρεούς.
6For thus hath the Lord said to me: Go, and set a watchman: and whatsoever he shall see, let him tell.
6ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε πρός με Κύριος· βαδίσας σεαυτῷ στῆσον σκοπὸν καὶ ὃ ἂν ἴδῃς ἀνάγγειλον·
7And he saw a chariot with two horsemen, a rider upon an ass, and a rider upon a camel: and he beheld them diligently with much heed.
7καὶ εἶδον ἀναβάτας ἱππεῖς δύο καὶ ἀναβάτην ὄνου καὶ ἀναβάτην καμήλου. ἀκρόασαι ἀκρόασιν πολλὴν
8And a lion cried out: I am upon the watchtower of the Lord, standing continually by day: and I am upon my ward, standing whole nights.
8καὶ κάλεσον Οὐρίαν εἰς τὴν σκοπιὰν Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν· ἔστην διαπαντὸς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐγὼ ἔστην ὅλην τὴν νύκτα,
9Behold this man cometh, the rider upon the chariot with two horsemen, and he answered, and said: Babylon is fallen, she is fallen, and all the graven gods thereof are broken unto the ground.
9καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται ἀναβάτης ξυνωρίδος. καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε· πέπτωκε πέπτωκε Βαβυλών, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγάλματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῆς συνετρίβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
10O my thrashing and the children of my door, that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared unto you.
10ἀκούσατε, οἱ καταλελειμμένοι καὶ οἱ ὀδυνώμενοι, ἀκούσατε ἃ ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαώθ· ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀνήγγειλεν ἡμῖν.
11The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the eight? watchman, what of the night?
11Τὸ ὅραμα τῆς Ἰδουμαίας. Πρὸς ἐμὲ καλεῖ παρὰ τοῦ Σηείρ· φυλάσσετε ἐπάλξεις.
12The watchman said: The morning cometh, also the night: if you seek, seek: return, come.
12φυλάσσω τὸ πρωΐ καὶ τὴν νύκτα· ἐὰν ζητῇς, ζήτει καὶ παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ οἴκει·
13The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim.
13ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ ἑσπέρας κοιμηθήσῃ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Δαιδάν.
14Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that fleeth.
14εἰς συνάντησιν διψῶντι ὕδωρ φέρετε, οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν χώρᾳ Θαιμάν, ἄρτοις συναντᾶτε τοῖς φεύγουσι διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεφονευμένων
15For they are fled from before the swords, from the sword that hung over them, from the bent bow, from the face of a grievous battle.
15καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πλανωμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς μαχαίρας καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν διατεταμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεπτωκότων ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
16For thus saith the Lord to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Cedar shall be taken away.
16διότι οὕτως εἶπέ μοι Κύριος· ἔτι ἐνιαυτὸς ὡς ἐνιαυτὸς μισθωτοῦ, ἐκλείψει ἡ δόξα τῶν υἱῶν Κηδάρ,
17And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Cedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.
17καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν ἰσχυρῶν υἱῶν Κηδὰρ ἔσται ὀλίγον, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐλάλησεν.
