World English Bible
1Ὢ ἡ ἐπιφανὴς καὶ ἀπολελυτρωμένη πόλις,
1Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
2ἡ περιστερὰ οὐκ εἰσήκουσε φωνῆς· οὐκ ἐδέξατο παιδείαν, ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐπεποίθει, καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῆς οὐκ ἤγγισεν.
2She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in the LORD. She didn’t draw near to her God.
3Οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ἐν αὐτῇ ὡς λέοντες ὠρυόμενοι, οἱ κριταὶ αὐτῆς ὡς λύκοι τῆς Ἀραβίας, οὐχ ὑπελίποντο εἰς τοπρωΐ.
3Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
4Οἱ προφῆται αὐτῆς πνευματοφόροι, ἄνδρες καταφρονηταί· ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς βεβηλοῦσι τὰ ἅγια, καὶ ἀσεβοῦσι νόμον.
4Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5Ὁ δὲ Κύριος δίκαιος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ ἄδικον· πρωῒ πρωῒ δώσει κρίμα αὐτοῦ εἰς φῶς, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρύβη, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ἀδικίαν ἐν ἀπαιτήσει, καὶ οὐκ εἰς νεῖκος ἀδικίαν.
5The LORD, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
6Ἐν διαφθορᾷ κατέσπασα ὑπερηφάνους, ἠφανίσθησαν γωνίαι αὐτῶν· ἐξερημώσω τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν τοπαράπαν, τοῦ μὴ διοδεύειν· ἐξέλιπον αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν, παρὰ τὸ μηδένα ὑπάρχειν, μηδὲ κατοικεῖν.
6I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
7Εἶπα, πλὴν φοβεῖσθέ με, καὶ δέξασθε παιδείαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξολοθρευθῆτε ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῆς πάντα ὅσα ἐξεδίκησα ἐπʼ αὐτήν· ἑτοιμάζου, ὄρθρισον, ἔφθαρται πᾶσα ἡ ἐπιφυλλὶς αὐτῶν.
7I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction,” so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
8Διατοῦτο ὑπόμεινόν με, λέγει Κύριος, εἰς ἡμέραν ἀναστάσεώς μου εἰς μαρτύριον· διὸ τὸ κρίμα μου εἰς συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἰσδέκασθαι βασιλεῖς, τοῦ ἐκχέαι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς πᾶσαν ὀργὴν θυμοῦ· διότι ἐν πυρὶ ζήλου μου καταναλωθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ.
8“Therefore wait for me”, says the LORD, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9Ὅτι τότε μεταστρέψω ἐπὶ λαοὺς γλῶσσαν εἰς γενεὰν αὐτῆς, τοῦ ἐπικαλεῖσθαι πάντας τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτῷ ὑπὸ ζυγὸν ἕνα.
9For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the LORD’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10Ἐκ περάτων ποταμῶν Αἰθιοπίας· προσδέξομαι ἐν διεσπαρμένοις μου, οἴσουσι θυσίας μοι.
10From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
11Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων σου, ὧν ἠσέβησας εἰς ἐμέ· ὅτι τότε περιελῶ ἀπὸ σοῦ τὰ φαυλίσματα τῆς ὕβρεώς σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι μὴ προσθῇς, τοῦ μεγαλαυχῆσαι ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου.
11In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from among you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain.
12Καὶ ὑπολήψομαι ἐν σοὶ λαὸν πρᾳῢν καὶ ταπεινὸν, καὶ εὐλαβηθήσονται ἀπὸ τοῦ ὀνόματος Κυρίου
12But I will leave among you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the LORD’s name.
13οἱ κατάλοιποι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐ ποιήσουσιν ἀδικίαν, καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσι μάταια, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν γλῶσσα δολία· διότι αὐτοὶ νεμήσονται, καὶ κοιτασθήσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς.
13The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
14Χαῖρε θύγατερ Σιὼν, κήρυσσε θύγατερ Ἱερουσαλήμ· εὐφραίνου καὶ κατατέρπου ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου θύγατερ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
14Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
15Περιεῖλε Κύριος τὰ ἀδικήματά σου, λελύτρωταί σε ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν σου· βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ Κύριος ἐν μέσῳ σου, οὐκ ὄψῃ κακὰ οὐκέτι.
15The LORD has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is among you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
16Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐρεῖ Κύριος τῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, θάρσει Σιὼν, μὴ παρείσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρές σου.
16In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”
17Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἐν σοὶ, ὁ δυνατὸς σώσει σε, ἐπάξει ἐπὶ δὲ εὐφροσύνην, καὶ καινιεῖ σε ἐν τῇ ἀγαπήσει αὐτοῦ· καὶ εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν τέρψει ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς.
17The LORD, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
18Καὶ συνάξω τοὺς συντετριμμένους σου· οὐαὶ, τίς ἔλαβεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ὀνειδισμόν;
18I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
19Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἔνεκέν σου ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ σώσω τὴν ἐκπεπιεσμένην, καὶ τὴν ἀπωσμένην εἰσδέξομαι, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτοὺς εἰς καύχημα, καὶ ὀνομαστοὺς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
19Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; and I will save those who are lame and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
20καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ὅταν καλῶς ὑμῖν ποιήσω, καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ὅταν εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς· διότι δώσω ὑμᾶς ὀνομαστοὺς, καὶ εἰς καύχημα ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς τῆς γῆς, ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν με τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος.
20At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the LORD.
