| 1 οιμμοι οτι εγενομην ως συναγων καλαμην εν αμητω και ως επιφυλλιδα εν τρυγητω ουχ υπαρχοντος βοτρυος του φαγειν τα πρωτογονα οιμμοι ψυχη | 1 Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the vintage has been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig which my soul desires. |
| 2 οτι απολωλεν ευλαβης απο της γης και κατορθων εν ανθρωποις ουχ υπαρχει παντες εις αιματα δικαζονται εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου εκθλιβουσιν εκθλιβη | 2 The godly man has perished from the earth, and there is none upright among men; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts his brother with a net. |
| 3 επι το κακον τας χειρας αυτων ετοιμαζουσιν ο αρχων αιτει και ο κριτης ειρηνικους λογους ελαλησεν καταθυμιον ψυχης αυτου εστιν και εξελουμαι | 3 Their hands are upon what is evil, to do it diligently; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together. |
| 4 τα αγαθα αυτων ως σης εκτρωγων και βαδιζων επι κανονος εν ημερα σκοπιας ουαι ουαι αι εκδικησεις σου ηκασιν νυν εσονται κλαυθμοι αυτων | 4 The best of them is like a brier, the most upright of them a thorn hedge. The day of their watchmen, of their punishment, has come; now their confusion is at hand. |
| 5 μη καταπιστευετε εν φιλοις και μη ελπιζετε επι ηγουμενοις απο της συγκοιτου σου φυλαξαι του αναθεσθαι τι αυτη | 5 Put no trust in a neighbor, have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom; |
| 6 διοτι υιος ατιμαζει πατερα θυγατηρ επαναστησεται επι την μητερα αυτης νυμφη επι την πενθεραν αυτης εχθροι ανδρος παντες οι ανδρες οι εν τω οικω αυτου | 6 for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. |
| 7 εγω δε επι τον κυριον επιβλεψομαι υπομενω επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου εισακουσεται μου ο θεος μου | 7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD, I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. |
| 8 μη επιχαιρε μοι η εχθρα μου οτι πεπτωκα και αναστησομαι διοτι εαν καθισω εν τω σκοτει κυριος φωτιει μοι | 8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. |
| 9 οργην κυριου υποισω οτι ημαρτον αυτω εως του δικαιωσαι αυτον την δικην μου και ποιησει το κριμα μου και εξαξει με εις το φως οψομαι την δικαιοσυνην αυτου | 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his deliverance. |
| 10 και οψεται η εχθρα μου και περιβαλειται αισχυνην η λεγουσα προς με που κυριος ο θεος σου οι οφθαλμοι μου εποψονται αυτην νυν εσται εις καταπατημα ως πηλος εν ταις οδοις | 10 Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will gloat over her; now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets. |
| 11 ημερας αλοιφης πλινθου εξαλειψις σου η ημερα εκεινη και αποτριψεται νομιμα σου | 11 A day for the building of your walls! In that day the boundary shall be far extended. |
| 12 η ημερα εκεινη και αι πολεις σου ηξουσιν εις ομαλισμον και εις διαμερισμον ασσυριων και αι πολεις σου αι οχυραι εις διαμερισμον απο τυρου εως του ποταμου συριας ημερα υδατος και θορυβου | 12 In that day they will come to you, from Assyria to Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain. |
| 13 και εσται η γη εις αφανισμον συν τοις κατοικουσιν αυτην εκ καρπων επιτηδευματων αυτων | 13 But the earth will be desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their doings. |
| 14 ποιμαινε λαον σου εν ραβδω σου προβατα κληρονομιας σου κατασκηνουντας καθ' εαυτους δρυμον εν μεσω του καρμηλου νεμησονται την βασανιτιν και την γαλααδιτιν καθως αι ημεραι του αιωνος | 14 Shepherd thy people with thy staff, the flock of thy inheritance, who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old. |
| 15 και κατα τας ημερας εξοδιας σου εξ αιγυπτου οψεσθε θαυμαστα | 15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt I will show them marvelous things. |
| 16 οψονται εθνη και καταισχυνθησονται εκ πασης της ισχυος αυτων επιθησουσιν χειρας επι το στομα αυτων τα ωτα αυτων αποκωφωθησονται | 16 The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hands on their mouths; their ears shall be deaf; |
| 17 λειξουσιν χουν ως οφεις συροντες γην συγχυθησονται εν συγκλεισμω αυτων επι τω κυριω θεω ημων εκστησονται και φοβηθησονται απο σου | 17 they shall lick the dust like a serpent, like the crawling things of the earth; they shall come trembling out of their strongholds, they shall turn in dread to the LORD our God, and they shall fear because of thee. |
| 18 τις θεος ωσπερ συ εξαιρων αδικιας και υπερβαινων ασεβειας τοις καταλοιποις της κληρονομιας αυτου και ου συνεσχεν εις μαρτυριον οργην αυτου οτι θελητης ελεους εστιν | 18 Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger for ever because he delights in steadfast love. |
| 19 αυτος επιστρεψει και οικτιρησει ημας καταδυσει τας αδικιας ημων και απορριφησονται εις τα βαθη της θαλασσης πασας τας αμαρτιας ημων | 19 He will again have compassion upon us, he will tread our iniquities under foot. Thou wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. |
| 20 δωσεις αληθειαν τω ιακωβ ελεον τω αβρααμ καθοτι ωμοσας τοις πατρασιν ημων κατα τας ημερας τας εμπροσθεν . | 20 Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old. |
