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.
1Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
2καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰσμαὴλ καὶ οἱ δέκα ἄνδρες, οἳ ἦσαν μετ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Γοδολίαν, ὃν κατέστησε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
2The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: 'Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation.' Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.
3καὶ πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐν Μασσηφᾷ καὶ πάντας τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐκεῖ.
3Hark! a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction!
4Καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ πατάξαντος αὐτοῦ τὸν Γοδολίαν, καὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἔγνω,
4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
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.
5For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distressing cry of destruction.
6καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς Ἰσμαήλ· αὐτοὶ ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἔκλαιον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰσέλθετε πρὸς Γοδολίαν.
6Flee, save your lives, and be like a tamarisk in the wilderness.
7καὶ ἐγένετο εἰσελθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως, ἔσφαξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ φρέαρ.
7For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken; and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
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.
8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD hath spoken.
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.
9Give wings unto Moab, for she must fly and get away; and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
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.
10Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD with a slack hand, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰωανὰν υἱὸς Καρηὲ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἰσμαήλ,
11Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.
12καὶ ἤγαγον ἅπαν τὸ στρατόπεδον αὐτῶν καὶ ᾤχοντο πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος πολλοῦ ἐν Γαβαών.
12Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that tilt up, and they shall tilt him up; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἶδε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετὰ Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν Ἰωανὰν καὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τῆς δυνάμεως τῆς μετ' αὐτοῦ,
13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς Ἰωανάν.
14How say ye: 'We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war'?
15καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ ἐσώθη σὺν ὀκτὼ ἀνθρώποις καὶ ᾤχετο πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών.
15Moab is spoiled, and they are gone up into her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
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,
16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17καὶ ᾤχοντο καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Γαβηρώθ Χαμαὰμ τῇ πρὸς Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον
17Bemoan him, all ye that are round about him, and all ye that know his name; say: 'How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!'
18ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν Χαλδαίων, ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπάταξεν Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν Γοδολίαν, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν τῇ γῇ.
18O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strongholds.
