Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Woe to Nabo, for it is laid waste, and confounded: Cariathaim is taken: the strong city is confounded and hath trembled.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἦλθεν Ἰσμαὴλ υἰὸς Ναθανίου υἱοῦ Ἐλεασὰ ἀπὸ γένους τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ δέκα ἄνδρες μετ' αὐτοῦ πρὸς Γοδολίαν εἰς Μασσηφά, καὶ ἔφαγον ἐκεῖ ἄρτον ἅμα.
2There is no more rejoicing in Moab over Hesebon: they have devised evil. Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shall follow thee.
2καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰσμαὴλ καὶ οἱ δέκα ἄνδρες, οἳ ἦσαν μετ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Γοδολίαν, ὃν κατέστησε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
3A voice of crying from Oronaim: waste, and great destruction.
3καὶ πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐν Μασσηφᾷ καὶ πάντας τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐκεῖ.
4Moab is destroyed: proclaim a cry for her little ones.
4Καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ πατάξαντος αὐτοῦ τὸν Γοδολίαν, καὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἔγνω,
5For by the ascent of Luith shall the mourner go up with weeping: for in the descent of Oronaim the enemies have heard a howling of destruction.
5καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἄνδρες ἀπὸ Συχὲμ καὶ ἀπὸ Σαλὴμ καὶ ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας, ὀγδοήκοντα ἄνδρες, ἐξυρημένοι πώγωνας καὶ διερρηγμένοι τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ κοπτόμενοι, καὶ μαναὰ καὶ λίβανος ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν τοῦ εἰσενεγκεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
6Flee, save your lives: and be as heath in the wilderness.
6καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς Ἰσμαήλ· αὐτοὶ ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἔκλαιον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰσέλθετε πρὸς Γοδολίαν.
7For because thou hast trusted in thy bulwarks, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
7καὶ ἐγένετο εἰσελθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως, ἔσφαξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ φρέαρ.
8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: and the valleys shall perish, and the plains shall be destroyed, for the Lord hath spoken:
8καὶ δέκα ἄνδρες εὑρέθησαν ἐκεῖ καὶ εἶπαν τῷ Ἰσμαήλ· μὴ ἀνέλῃς ἡμᾶς, ὅτι εἰσὶν ἡμῖν θησαυροὶ ἐν ἀγρῷ, πυροὶ καὶ κριθαί, μέλι καὶ ἔλαιον· καὶ παρῆλθε καὶ οὐκ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτοὺς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν.
9Give a flower to Moab, for in its flower it shall go out: and the cities thereof shall be desolate, and uninhabited.
9καὶ τὸ φρέαρ, εἰς ὃ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ Ἰσμαὴλ πάντας, οὓς ἐπάταξε, φρέαρ μέγα τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου Βαασὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ· τοῦτο ἐνέπλησεν Ἰσμαὴλ τραυματιῶν.
10Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully: and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.
10καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰσμαὴλ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν καταλειφθέντα εἰς Μασσηφὰ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ βασιλέως, ἃς παρακατέθετο ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος τῷ Γοδολίᾳ υἱῷ Ἀχεικάμ, καὶ ᾤχετο εἰς τὸ πέραν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
11Moab hath been fruitful from his youth, and hath rested upon his lees: and hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, nor hath gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
11Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰωανὰν υἱὸς Καρηὲ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἰσμαήλ,
12Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send him men that shall order and overturn his bottles, and they shall cast him down, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles one against another.
12καὶ ἤγαγον ἅπαν τὸ στρατόπεδον αὐτῶν καὶ ᾤχοντο πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος πολλοῦ ἐν Γαβαών.
13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, in which they trusted.
13καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἶδε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετὰ Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν Ἰωανὰν καὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τῆς δυνάμεως τῆς μετ' αὐτοῦ,
14How do you say: We are valiant, and stout men in battle?
14καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς Ἰωανάν.
15Moab is laid waste, and they have cast down her cities: and her choice young men are gone down to the slaughter: saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
15καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ ἐσώθη σὺν ὀκτὼ ἀνθρώποις καὶ ᾤχετο πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών.
16The destruction of Moab is near to come: the calamity thereof shall come on exceeding swiftly.
16Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰωανὰν καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ, οὓς ἀπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ Ἰσμαήλ, δυνατοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν πολέμῳ καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ καὶ τοὺς εὐνούχους, οὓς ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ Γαβαών,
17Comfort him, all you that are round about him, and all you that know his name, say: How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod?
17καὶ ᾤχοντο καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Γαβηρώθ Χαμαὰμ τῇ πρὸς Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον
18Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, O dwelling of the daughter of Dibon: because the spoiler of Moab is come up to thee, he hath destroyed thy bulwarks.
18ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν Χαλδαίων, ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπάταξεν Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν Γοδολίαν, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν τῇ γῇ.
19Stand in the way, and look out, O habitation of Aroer: inquire of him that fleeth: and say to him that hath escaped: What Is done?
