Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1“At that time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
1ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ, ὅτι ὤλετο· ἐλήφθη Καριαθαίμ, ᾐσχύνθη Ἀμὰθ καὶ ἡττήθη.
2The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
2οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωάβ, γαυρίαμα ἐν Ἐσεβών· ἐλογίσαντο ἐπ' αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται, ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα.
3The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
3ὅτι φωνὴ κεκραγότων ἐξ Ὠρωναίμ, ὄλεθρος καὶ σύντριμμα μέγα·
4I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
4συνετρίβη Μωάβ, ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Ζογόρα,
5Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
5ὅτι ἐπλήσθη Ἀλὼθ ἐν κλαυθμῷ, ἀναβήσεται κλαίων ἐν ὁδῷ Ὠρωναίμ, κραυγὴν συντρίμματος ἠκούσατε·
6For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the LORD our God.’”
6φεύγετε καὶ σώσατε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσεσθε ὥσπερ ὄνος ἄγριος ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
7For the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
7ἐπειδὴ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν ὀχυρώμασί σου, καὶ σὺ συλληφθήσῃ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Χαμὼς ἐν ἀποικίᾳ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.
8Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
8καὶ ἥξει ὄλεθρος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν, καὶ πόλις οὐ μὴ σωθῇ, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ αὐλών, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ πεδινή, καθὼς εἶπε Κύριος.
9They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
9δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωάβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἀναφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;
10“Hear the LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
10ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ποιῶν τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου ἀμελῶς, ἐξαίρων μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἀφ' αἵματος.
11For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
11ἀνεπαύσατο Μωὰβ ἐκ παιδαρίου καὶ πεποιθὼς ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνέχεεν ἐξ ἀγγείου εἰς ἀγγεῖον καὶ εἰς ἀποικισμὸν οὐκ ᾤχετο· διὰ τοῦτο ἔστη γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὀσμὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέλιπε.
12They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
12διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστελῶ αὐτῷ κλίνοντας, καὶ κλινοῦσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ λεπτυνοῦσι καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ συγκόψουσι.
13Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
13καὶ καταισχυνθήσεται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ Χαμώς, ὥσπερ κατῃσχύνθη οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βαιθὴλ ἐλπίδος αὐτῶν πεποιθότες ἐπ' αὐτοῖς.
14I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says the LORD.
14πῶς ἐρεῖτε· ἰσχυροί ἐσμεν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἰσχύων εἰς τὰ πολεμικά;
15The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
15ὤλετο Μωὰβ πόλις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ νεανίσκοι αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς σφαγήν·
16The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.
16ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Μωὰβ ἐλθεῖν, καὶ πονηρία αὐτοῦ ταχεῖα σφόδρα.
17There is hope for your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
17κινήσατε αὐτῷ, πάντες κυκλόθεν αὐτοῦ, πάντες εἰδότες ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε· πῶς συνετρίβη βακτηρία εὐκλεής, ράβδος μεγαλώματος;
18“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD my God.
18κατάβηθι ἀπὸ δόξης καὶ κάθισον ἐν ὑγρασίᾳ, καθημένη Δαιβών· ἐκτριβήσεται, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ, ἀνέβη εἰς σὲ λυμαινόμενος ὀχύρωμά σου.
19Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
19ἐφ' ὁδοῦ στῆθι καὶ ἔπιδε, καθημένη ἐν Ἀροήρ, καὶ ἐρώτησον φεύγοντα καὶ σῳζόμενον καὶ εἰπόν· τί ἐγένετο;
20Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
20κατῃσχύνθη Μωάβ, ὅτι συνετρίβη· ὀλόλυξον καὶ κέκραξον, ἀνάγγειλον ἐν Ἀρνών, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ·
21“Set up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your cities.
21καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν γῆν Μεισὼρ ἐπὶ Χελὼν καὶ Ρεφὰς καὶ Μωφὰθ
22How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing on the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
22καὶ ἐπὶ Δαιβὼν καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Δαιβλαθαὶμ
23The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
23καὶ ἐπὶ Καριαθαὶμ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Γαιμὼλ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Μαὼν
24Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
24καὶ ἐπὶ Καριὼθ καὶ ἐπὶ Βοσὸρ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Μωὰβ τὰς πόρρω καὶ τὰς ἐγγύς.
25For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
25κατεάχθη κέρας Μωάβ, καὶ τὸ ἐπίχειρον αὐτοῦ συνετρίβη.
26On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
26μεθύσατε αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη· καὶ ἐπικρούσει Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται εἰς γέλωτα καὶ αὐτός.
27“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
27καὶ εἰ μὴ εἰς γελοιασμὸν ἦν σοι Ἰσραήλ; ἢ ἐν κλοπαῖς σου εὑρέθη, ὅτι ἐπολέμεις αὐτόν;
28It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
28κατέλιπον τὰς πόλεις καὶ ᾤκησαν ἐν πέτραις οἱ κατοικοῦντες Μωάβ, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ περιστεραί νοσσεύουσαι ἐν πέτραις στόματι βοθύνου.
29“In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
29ἤκουσα ὕβριν Μωάβ, ὕβρισε λίαν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ.
30But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
30ἐγὼ δὲ ἔγνων ἔργα αὐτοῦ· οὐχὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησε.
31“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
31διὰ τοῦτο ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ὀλολύζετε πάντοθεν, βοήσατε ἐπ' ἄνδρας κειράδας αὐχμοῦ·
32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.
32ὡς κλαυθμὸν Ἰαζὴρ ἀποκλαύσομαί σοι, ἄμπελος Σεβημά, κλήματά σου διῆλθε θάλασσαν, Ἰαζὴρ ἥψαντο· ἐπὶ ὀπώραν σου, ἐπὶ τρυγηταῖς σου ὄλεθρος ἐπέπεσε.
33“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
33συνεψήθη χαρμοσύνη καὶ εὐφροσύνη ἐκ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος καὶ οἶνος ἦν ἐπὶ ληνοῖς σου· πρωΐ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν οὐδὲ δείλης, οὐκ ἐποίησαν αἰδάδ.
34They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
34ἀπὸ κραυγῆς Ἐσεβὼν ἕως Ἐλεαλὴ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Ζογὸρ ἕως Ὠρωναὶμ καὶ Ἀγλάθ-Σαλισία, ὅτι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ Νεβρεὶν εἰς κατάκαυμα ἔσται.
35The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Armies is his name, says:
35καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ἀναβαίνοντα ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν καὶ θυμιῶντα θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.
36“If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
36διὰ τοῦτο καρδία μου, Μωάβ, ὥσπερ αὐλοὶ βομβήσουσι, καρδία μου ἐπ' ἀνθρώπους κειράδας ὥσπερ αὐλὸς βομβήσει· διὰ τοῦτο ἃ περιεποιήσατο, ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου.
37The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
37πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ξυρηθήσονται, καὶ πᾶς πώγων ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες κόψονται, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσης ὀσφύος σάκκος.
38“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
38καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν δωμάτων Μωὰβ καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ὅτι συνέτριψα τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ὡς ἀγγεῖον, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ.
39The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn toward Goah.
39πῶς κατήλλαξε; πῶς ἔστρεψε νῶτον Μωάβ; ᾐσχύνθη καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ εἰς γέλωτα καὶ ἐγκότημα πᾶσι τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.
40The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
