LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ιδου επι τα ορη οι ποδες ευαγγελιζομενου και απαγγελλοντος ειρηνην εορταζε ιουδα τας εορτας σου αποδος τας ευχας σου διοτι ου μη προσθησωσιν ετι του διελθειν δια σου εις παλαιωσιν συντετελεσται εξηρται	1 He ascends, who would scatter before your eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly.
2 ανεβη εμφυσων εις προσωπον σου εξαιρουμενος εκ θλιψεως σκοπευσον οδον κρατησον οσφυος ανδρισαι τη ισχυι σφοδρα	2 For the Lord has repaid the arrogance of Jacob, just like the arrogance of Israel. For the despoilers have scattered them, and they have corrupted their procreation.
3 διοτι απεστρεψεν κυριος την υβριν ιακωβ καθως υβριν του ισραηλ διοτι εκτινασσοντες εξετιναξαν αυτους και τα κληματα αυτων διεφθειραν	3 The shield of his strong ones is fire, the men of war are in scarlet. The reins of the chariot are fiery in the day of his preparation, and the drivers have been drugged.
4 οπλα δυναστειας αυτων εξ ανθρωπων ανδρας δυνατους εμπαιζοντας εν πυρι αι ηνιαι των αρματων αυτων εν ημερα ετοιμασιας αυτου και οι ιππεις θορυβηθησονται	4 They have become confused on their journey. The four-horse chariots have collided in the streets. Their appearance is like torches, like lightning dashing around.
5 εν ταις οδοις και συγχυθησονται τα αρματα και συμπλακησονται εν ταις πλατειαις η ορασις αυτων ως λαμπαδες πυρος και ως αστραπαι διατρεχουσαι	5 He will call to mind his strong ones; they will destroy along their journey. They will quickly ascend its walls, and a shelter will be prepared.
6 και μνησθησονται οι μεγιστανες αυτων και φευξονται ημερας και ασθενησουσιν εν τη πορεια αυτων και σπευσουσιν επι τα τειχη και ετοιμασουσιν τας προφυλακας αυτων	6 The gates of the rivers have been opened, and the temple has been pulled down to the ground.
7 πυλαι των ποταμων διηνοιχθησαν και τα βασιλεια διεπεσεν	7 And the foot soldier has been led away captive, and her handmaids were driven away, mourning like doves, murmuring in their hearts.
8 και η υποστασις απεκαλυφθη και αυτη ανεβαινεν και αι δουλαι αυτης ηγοντο καθως περιστεραι φθεγγομεναι εν καρδιαις αυτων	8 And Nineveh, her waters are like a fish pond. Yet truly, they have fled away: “Stand, stand!” But there is no one who will turn back.
9 και νινευη ως κολυμβηθρα υδατος τα υδατα αυτης και αυτοι φευγοντες ουκ εστησαν και ουκ ην ο επιβλεπων	9 Despoil the silver, despoil the gold. And there is no end to all the riches of desirable equipment.
10 διηρπαζον το αργυριον διηρπαζον το χρυσιον και ουκ ην περας του κοσμου αυτης βεβαρυνται υπερ παντα τα σκευη τα επιθυμητα αυτης	10 She has been scattered, and cut, and torn apart. And the heart melts, and the knees buckle, and weakness is in every temperament. And the faces of them all are like a black kettle.
11 εκτιναγμος και ανατιναγμος και εκβρασμος και καρδιας θραυσμος και υπολυσις γονατων και ωδινες επι πασαν οσφυν και το προσωπον παντων ως προσκαυμα χυτρας	11 Where is the dwelling place of the lions, and the feeding ground of the young lions, to which the lion went, so as to open a way for the young lion, and so that there would be none to make them afraid?
12 που εστιν το κατοικητηριον των λεοντων και η νομη η ουσα τοις σκυμνοις ου επορευθη λεων του εισελθειν εκει σκυμνος λεοντος και ουκ ην ο εκφοβων	12 The lion seized enough for his young, and killed enough for his lionesses, and he filled his caves with prey, and his den with spoils.
13 λεων ηρπασεν τα ικανα τοις σκυμνοις αυτου και απεπνιξεν τοις λεουσιν αυτου και επλησεν θηρας νοσσιαν αυτου και το κατοικητηριον αυτου αρπαγης	13 Behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots even to smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. And I will exterminate your prey from the land, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
14 ιδου εγω επι σε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και εκκαυσω εν καπνω πληθος σου και τους λεοντας σου καταφαγεται ρομφαια και εξολεθρευσω εκ της γης την θηραν σου και ου μη ακουσθη ουκετι τα εργα σου
