Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ὡς καταιγὶς διʼ ἐρήμου διέλθοι, ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς φοβερὸν
1The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds come from the south, it cometh from the desert from a terrible land.
2τὸ ὅραμα, καὶ σκληρὸν ἀνηγγέλη μοι· ὁ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ, ὁ ἀνομῶν ἀνομεῖ· ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ οἱ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις τῶν Περσῶν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἔρχονται· νῦν στενάξω καὶ παρακαλέσω ἐμαυτόν.
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.
3Διατοῦτο ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ ὀσφύς μου ἐκλύσεως, καὶ ὠδῖνες ἔλαβόν με ὡς τὴν τίκτουσαν· ἠδίκησα τοῦ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι, ἐσπούδασα τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν.
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.
4Ἡ καρδία μου πλανᾶται, καὶ ἡ ἀνομία με βαπτίζει, ἡ ψυχή μου ἐφέστηκεν εἰς φόβον.
4My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me.
5Ἑτοίμασον τὴν τράπεζαν, φάγετε, πίετε· ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες, ἑτοιμάσατε θυρεοὺς,
5Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.
6ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε πρὸς μὲ Κύριος, Βαδίσας σεαυτῷ στῆσον σκοπὸν, καὶ ὃ ἂν ἴδῃς ἀνάγγειλον.
6For thus hath the Lord said to me: Go, and set a watchman: and whatsoever he shall see, let him tell.
7Καὶ εἶδον ἀναβάτας ἱππεῖς δύο, καὶ ἀναβάτη ὄνου, καὶ ἀναβάτην καμήλου· ἀκρόασαι ἀκρόασιν πολλήν,
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.
8καὶ κάλεσον Οὐρίαν εἰς τὴν σκοπιάν· Κύριος εἶπεν, ἔστην διαπαντὸς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐγὼ ἔστην ὅλην τὴν νύκτα,
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.
9καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται ἀναβάτης ξυνωρίδος· καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε, πέπτωκε πέπτωκε Βαβυλὼν, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγάλματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῆς συνετρίβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
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.
10Ἀκούσατε οἱ καταλελειμμένοι, καὶ οἱ ὀδυνώμενοι ἀκούσατε ἃ ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀνήγγειλεν ἡμῖν. ΤΟ ὍΡΑΜΑ ΤΗΣ ἸΔΟΥΜΑΙΑΣ.
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.
11Πρὸς ἐμὲ κάλει παρὰ τοῦ Σηεὶρ, φυλάσσετε ἐπάλξεις.
11The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the eight? watchman, what of the night?
12Φυλάσσω τοπρωῒ καὶ τὴν νύκτα· ἐὰν ζητῇς ζήτει, καὶ παρʼ ἐμοὶ οἴκει,
12The watchman said: The morning cometh, also the night: if you seek, seek: return, come.
13ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ ἑσπέρας κοιμηθῇς, ἢ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Δαιδάν.
13The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim.
14Εἰς συνάντησιν διψῶντι ὕδωρ φέρετε οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν χώρᾳ Θαιμὰν, ἄρτοις συναντᾶτε τοῖς φεύγουσι
14Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that fleeth.
15διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεφονευμένων, καὶ 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.
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.
16Διότι οὕτως εἶπέ μοι Κύριος, ἔτι ἐνιαυτὸς ὡς ἐνιαυτὸς μισθωτοῦ, ἐκλείψει ἡ δόξα τῶν υἱῶν Κηδὰρ,
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.
17καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν ἰσχυρῶν υἱῶν Κηδὰρ ἔσται ὀλίγον, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐλάλησε. ΤΟ ῬΗΜΑ ΤΗΣ ΦΑΡΑΓΓΟΣ ΣΙΩΝ.
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.
