Berean Standard Bible
1Ἐνισχύσατε υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐκ μέσου τῆς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐν Θεκουὲ σημάνατε σάλπιγγι, καὶ ὑπὲρ Βαιθαχαρμὰ ἄρατε σημεῖον, ὅτι κακὰ ἐκκέκυφεν ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη γίνεται·
1“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.
2καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται τὸ ὕψος θύγατερ Σιών.
2Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy the Daughter of Zion.
3Εἰς αὐτὴν ἥξουσι ποιμένες, καὶ τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν· καὶ πήξουσιν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν σκηνὰς κύκλῳ, καὶ ποιμανοῦσιν ἕκαστος τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
3Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her, each tending his own portion:
4Παρασκευάσασθε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον, ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν μεσημβρίας· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ὅτι κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, ὅτι ἐκλείπουσιν αἱ σκιαὶ τῆς ἡμέρας.
4‘Prepare for battle against her; rise up, let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the daylight is fading; the evening shadows grow long.
5Ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν νυκτὶ, καὶ διαφθείρωμεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς.
5Rise up, let us attack by night and destroy her fortresses!’”
6Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἔκκοψον τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς, ἔκχεον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ δύναμιν· ὦ πόλις ψευδὴς, ὅλη καταδυναστεία ἐν αὐτῇ.
6For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Cut down the trees and raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; there is nothing but oppression in her midst.
7Ὡς ψύχει λάκκος ὕδωρ, οὕτω ψύχει κακία αὐτῆς· ἀσέβεια καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς διαπαντός.
7As a well gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before Me.
8Πόνῳ καὶ μάστιγι παιδευθήσῃ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, μὴ ἀποστῇ ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ σοῦ, μὴ ποιήσω σε ἄβατον γῆν, ἥτις οὐ κατοικισθῇ.
8Be forewarned, O Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you; I will make you a desolation, a land without inhabitant.”
9Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καλαμᾶσθε, καλαμᾶσθε ὡς ἄμπελον τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἐπιστρέψατε ὡς ὁ τρυγῶν ἐπὶ τὸν κάρταλλον αὐτοῦ.
9This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine. Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer over the branches.”
10Πρὸς τίνα λαλήσω, καὶ διαμαρτύρωμαι, καὶ εἰσακούσεται; ἰδοὺ ἀπερίτμητα τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀκούειν· ἰδοὺ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, οὐ μὴ βουληθῶσιν αὐτό.
10To whom can I give this warning? Who will listen to me? Look, their ears are closed, so they cannot hear. See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.
11Καὶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἔπλησα, καὶ ἐπέσχον, καὶ οὐ συνετέλεσα αὐτούς· ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ νήπια ἔξωθεν, καὶ ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν νεανίσκων ἅμα, ὅτι ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ συλληφθήσονται, πρεσβύτερος μετὰ πλήρους ἡμερῶν.
11But I am full of the LORD’s wrath; I am tired of holding it back. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the young men gathered together. For both husband and wife will be captured, the old and the very old alike.
12Καὶ μεταστραφήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς ἑτέρους, ἀγροὶ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν ἐπιτοαυτό· ὅτι ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην, λέγει Κύριος.
12Their houses will be turned over to others, their fields and wives as well, for I will stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the LORD.
13Ὅτι ἀπὸ μικροῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἕως μεγάλου πάντες συνετελέσαντο ἄνομα, ἀπὸ ἱερέως καὶ ἕως ψευδοπροφήτου πάντες ἐποίησαν ψευδῆ.
13“For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.
14Καὶ ἰῶντο σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ μου, ἐξουθενοῦντες καὶ λέγοντες, εἰρήνη εἰρήνη· καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν εἰρήνη;
14They dress the wound of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all.
15Κατῃσχύνθησαν, ὅτι ἐξελίποσαν· καὶ οὐδʼ ὡς καταισχυνόμενοι κατῃσχύνθησαν, καὶ τὴν ἀτιμίαν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔγνωσαν· διατοῦτο πεσοῦνται ἐν τῇ πτώσει αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς ἀπολοῦνται, εἶπε Κύριος.
15Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse,” says the LORD.
16Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, στῆτε ἐπὶ ταῖς ὁδοῖς, καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ ἐρωτήσατε τρίβους Κυρίου αἰωνίους· καὶ ἴδετε ποία ἐστὶν ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀγαθὴ, καὶ βαδίζετε ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἁγνισμὸν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν· Καὶ εἶπαν, οὐ πορευσόμεθα.
16This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’ Then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’
17Καθέστακα ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς σκοπούς· ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς τῆς σάλπιγγος· καὶ εἶπαν, οὐκ ἀκουσόμεθα.
17I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.’ But they answered, ‘We will not listen!’
18Διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσαν τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν.
18Therefore hear, O nations, and learn, O congregations, what will happen to them.
19Ἄκουε γῆ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον κακὰ, τὸν καρπὸν ἀποστροφῆς αὐτῶν, ὅτι τῶν λόγων μου οὐ προσέσχον, καὶ τὸν νόμον μου ἀπώσαντο.
19Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have paid no attention to My word and have rejected My instruction.
20Ἱνατί μοι λίβανον ἐκ Σαβὰ φέρετε, καὶ κινάμωμον ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν; τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν οὐκ εἰσὶ δεκτὰ, καὶ αἱ θυσίαι ὑμῶν οὐχ ἥδυνάν μοι.
20What use to Me is frankincense from Sheba or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please Me.”
21Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἀσθένειαν, καὶ ἀσθενήσουσι πατέρες καὶ υἱοὶ ἅμα, γείτων καὶ ὁ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀπολοῦνται.
21Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I will lay stumbling blocks before this people; fathers and sons alike will be staggered; friends and neighbors will perish.”
22Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἔρχεται ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ ἔθνη ἐξεγερθήσονται ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.
22This is what the LORD says: “Behold, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is stirred up from the ends of the earth.
23Τόξον καὶ ζιβύνην κρατήσουσιν· ἰταμός ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἐλεήσει· φωνὴ αὐτοῦ, ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα· ἐφʼ ἵπποις καὶ ἅρμασι παρατάξεται ὡς πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς σὲ, θύγατερ Σιών.
23They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Zion.”
24Ἠκούσαμεν τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν, παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες ἡμῶν, θλίψις κατέσχεν ἡμᾶς, ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης.
24We have heard the report; our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.
25Μὴ ἐκπορεύεσθε εἰς ἀγρὸν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μὴ βαδίζετε, ὅτι ῥομφαία τῶν ἐχθρῶν παροικεῖ κυκλόθεν.
25Do not go out to the fields; do not walk the road. For the enemy has a sword; terror is on every side.
26Θύγατερ λαοῦ μου περίζωσαι σάκκον, κατάπασσε ἐν σποδῷ, πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ ποιήσαι σεαυτῇ κοπετὸν οἰκτρὸν, ὅτι ἐξαίφνης ἥξει ταλαιπωρία ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.
26O daughter of my people, dress yourselves in sackcloth and roll in ashes. Mourn with bitter wailing, as you would for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
27Δοκιμαστὴν δέδωκά σε ἐν λαοῖς δεδοκιμασμένοις, καὶ γνώσῃ με ἐν τῷ δοκιμάσαι με τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν,
27“I have appointed you to examine My people like ore, so you may know and try their ways.
28πάντες ἀνήκοοι πορεύομενοι σκολιῶς· χαλκὸς καὶ σίδηρος, πάντες διεφθαρμένοι εἰσίν.
28All are hardened rebels, walking around as slanderers. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.
29Ἐξέλιπε φυσητὴρ ἀπὸ πυρὸς, ἐξέλιπε μόλιβος· εἰς κενὸν ἀργυροκόπος ἀργυροκοπεῖ, πονηρία αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐτάκη.
29The bellows blow fiercely, blasting away the lead with fire. The refining proceeds in vain, for the wicked are not purged.
30Ἀργύριον ἀποδεδοκιμασμένον καλέσατε αὐτοὺς, ὅτι ἀπεδοκίμασεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος.
30They are called rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them.”
