1 Ουαι εις σε, οστις πορθεις και δεν επορθηθης? και καταδυναστευεις και δεν κατεδυναστευθης? οταν παυσης πορθων, θελεις πορθηθη? οταν τελειωσης καταδυναστευων, θελεις καταδυναστευθη.1 Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.
2 Κυριε, ελεησον ημας? σε προσμενομεν? εσο βραχιων αυτων καθ' εκαστην πρωιαν και σωτηρια ημων εν καιρω θλιψεως.2 O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.
3 Απο της φωνης του θορυβου οι λαοι εφυγον? απο της ανυψωσεως σου τα εθνη διεσκορπισθησαν.3 From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
4 Και τα λαφυρα σας θελουσι συναχθη, καθως συναγουσιν οι βρουχοι? θελουσι πηδησει επ' αυτον, καθως η ακρις πηδα εδω και εκει.4 And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.
5 Ο Κυριος υψωθη? διοτι κατοικει εν υψηλοις? ενεπλησε την Σιων κρισεως και δικαιοσυνης.5 The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
6 Σοφια δε και επιστημη θελουσιν εισθαι η στερεωσις των καιρων σου και η σωτηριος δυναμις? ο φοβος του Κυριου, αυτος ειναι ο θησαυρος αυτου.6 And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Ιδου, οι ανδρειοι αυτων θελουσι βοησει εξωθεν, και οι πρεσβεις της ειρηνης θελουσι κλαυσει πικρως.7 Behold, outside, those who see will cry out. The Angels of peace will weep bitterly.
8 Αι οδοι ηρημωθησαν, οι οδοιποροι επαυσαν? διελυσε την συνθηκην, απεβαλε τας πολεις, δεν λογιζεται ανθρωπον.8 The roads have become desolate. Travelers have ceased along the paths. The covenant has been nullified. He has tossed aside cities. He has disregarded men.
9 Η γη πενθει, μαραινεται? ο Λιβανος αισχυνεται, κατακοπτεται? ο Σαρων ομοιαζει ερημον? και η Βασαν και ο Καρμηλος κατετιναχθησαν.9 The earth has mourned and languished. Lebanon has been confounded and desecrated. And Sharon has become like a desert. And Bashan and Carmel have been struck together.
10 Τωρα θελω σηκωθη, λεγει Κυριος? τωρα θελω υψωθη, τωρα θελω μεγαλυνθη.10 “Now, I will rise up!” says the Lord. “Now I will be exalted! Now I will lift myself up!”
11 Χνουν θελετε συλλαβει και αχυρον θελετε γεννησει? η πνοη σας ως πυρ θελει σας καταφαγει.11 You will conceive heat. You will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit will devour you like fire.
12 Και οι λαοι θελουσιν εισθαι ως καυσεις ασβεστου? ως ακανθαι κεκομμεναι θελουσι καυθη εν πυρι.12 And the people will be like the ashes from a fire. They will be consumed by fire like a bundle of thorns.
13 Οι μακραν, ακουσατε τι εκαμον? και σεις οι πλησιον, γνωρισατε την δυναμιν μου.13 “You who are far away, listen to what I have done! And you who are near, acknowledge my strength!”
14 Οι αμαρτωλοι εν Σιων θελουσι τρομαξει? τρομος θελει καταλαβει τους υποκριτας, ωστε θελουσι λεγει, Τις μεταξυ ημων θελει κατοικησει μετα του κατατρωγοντος πυρος; τις μεταξυ ημων θελει κατοικησει μετα των αιωνιων καυσεων;14 The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among you is able to live with a devouring fire? Who among you will live with an everlasting flame?
15 Ο περιπατων εν δικαιοσυνη και ο λαλων εν ευθυτητι? ο καταφρονων το κερδος των δυναστευσεων, ο σειων τας χειρας αυτου απο δωροληψιας, ο εμφραττων τα ωτα αυτου δια να μη ακουη περι αιματος, και ο κλειων τους οφθαλμους αυτου δια να μη ιδη το κακον?15 The one who walks in justice and speaks the truth, who casts out avarice with oppression and shakes all bribes from his hands, who blocks his ears so that he may not listen to blood, and closes his eyes so that he may not see evil.
16 ουτος θελει κατοικησει εν τοις υψηλοις? οι τοποι της υπερασπισεως αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι τα οχυρωματα των βραχων? αρτος θελει δοθη εις αυτον? το υδωρ αυτου θελει εισθαι βεβαιον?16 Such a one will live on high; the fortification of rocks will be his lofty place. Bread has been given to him; his waters are reliable.
17 Οι οφθαλμοι σου θελουσιν ιδει τον βασιλεα εν τη ωραιοτητι αυτου? θελουσιν ιδει την γην την μακραν.17 His eyes will see the king in his elegance; they will discern the land from far away.
18 Η καρδια σου θελει μελετα τον παρελθοντα τρομον, φωναζουσα, Που ειναι ο γραμματευς; που ο συζητητης; που ο λογιστης των πυργων;18 Your heart will meditate on fear. Where are the learned? Where are those who ponder the words of the law? Where are the teachers of little ones?
19 δεν θελεις ιδει λαον αγριον, λαον βαθειας φωνης, ωστε να μη διακρινης? τραυλιζουσης γλωσσης, ωστε να μη εννοης.19 You will not look upon a shameless people, a people of exalted words. For you are not able to understand the dissertation of a tongue in which there is no wisdom.
20 Αναβλεψον εις την Σιων, την πολιν των εορτων ημων? οι οφθαλμοι σου θελουσιν ιδει την Ιερουσαλημ ησυχον κατοικιαν, σκηνην ητις δεν θελει καταβιβασθη? οι πασσαλοι αυτης δεν θελουσι μετακινηθη εις τον αιωνα και ουδεν εκ των σχοινιων αυτης θελει κοπη.20 Look with favor upon Zion, the city of our solemnity. Your eyes will behold Jerusalem: an opulent habitation, a tabernacle that can never be taken away. Its stakes will not be taken away forever, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 Αλλ' εκει ο Κυριος της δοξης θελει εισθαι εις ημας τοπος πλατεων ποταμων και ρευματων? εκει δεν θελει εισελθει πλοιον δια κωπιων ουτε ναυς μεγαλοπρεπης θελει περασει εκειθεν.21 For only in that place has our Lord been magnified. It is a place of rivers, very broad and open. No ship with oars will cross through it, nor will the great Greek ship pass through it.
22 Διοτι ο Κυριος ειναι ο κριτης ημων? ο Κυριος ειναι ο νομοθετης ημων? ο Κυριος ειναι ο βασιλευς ημων? αυτος θελει σωσει ημας.22 For the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. He himself will save us.
23 Τα σχοινια σου εχαυνωθησαν? δεν δυνανται να στερεωσωσι το καταρτιον αυτων, δεν δυνανται να εξαπλωσωσι τα πανια? τοτε λεια μεγαλων λαφυρων θελει διαμερισθη? οι χωλοι θελουσι διαρπασει την λειαν.23 Your ropes have become loose, and they will not prevail. Your mast will be such that you will not be able to unfurl a flag. Then the spoils of much plunder will be divided. The lame will seize the spoils.
24 Και ο κατοικος δεν θελει λεγει, Ητονησα? ο λαος ο κατοικων εν αυτη θελει λαβει αφεσιν ανομιας.24 He who is nearby will not say: “I am too weak.” The people who live in it will have their iniquity taken away from them.
