LXXDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ω η επιφανης και απολελυτρωμενη η πολις η περιστερα1 Woe to the provoking, and redeemed city, the dove.
2 ουκ εισηκουσεν φωνης ουκ εδεξατο παιδειαν επι τω κυριω ουκ επεποιθει και προς τον θεον αυτης ουκ ηγγισεν2 She hath not hearkened to the voice, neither hath she received discipline: she hath not trusted in the Lord, she drew not near to her God.
3 οι αρχοντες αυτης εν αυτη ως λεοντες ωρυομενοι οι κριται αυτης ως λυκοι της αραβιας ουχ υπελιποντο εις το πρωι3 Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.
4 οι προφηται αυτης πνευματοφοροι ανδρες καταφρονηται οι ιερεις αυτης βεβηλουσιν τα αγια και ασεβουσιν νομον4 Her prophets are senseless men without faith: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have acted unjustly against the law.
5 ο δε κυριος δικαιος εν μεσω αυτης και ου μη ποιηση αδικον πρωι πρωι δωσει κριμα αυτου εις φως και ουκ απεκρυβη και ουκ εγνω αδικιαν εν απαιτησει και ουκ εις νεικος αδικιαν5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof, he will not do iniquity: in the morning, in the morning he will bring his judgment to light, and it shall not be hid: but the wicked man hath not known shame.
6 εν διαφθορα κατεσπασα υπερηφανους ηφανισθησαν γωνιαι αυτων εξερημωσω τας οδους αυτων το παραπαν του μη διοδευειν εξελιπον αι πολεις αυτων παρα το μηδενα υπαρχειν μηδε κατοικειν6 I have destroyed the nations, and their towers are beaten down: I have made their ways desert, so that there is none that passeth by: their cities are desolate, there is not a man remaining, nor any inhabitant.
7 ειπα πλην φοβεισθε με και δεξασθε παιδειαν και ου μη εξολεθρευθητε εξ οφθαλμων αυτης παντα οσα εξεδικησα επ' αυτην ετοιμαζου ορθρισον διεφθαρται πασα η επιφυλλις αυτων7 I said: Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive correction: and her dwelling shall not perish, for all things wherein I have visited her: but they rose early and corrupted all their thoughts.
8 δια τουτο υπομεινον με λεγει κυριος εις ημεραν αναστασεως μου εις μαρτυριον διοτι το κριμα μου εις συναγωγας εθνων του εισδεξασθαι βασιλεις του εκχεαι επ' αυτους πασαν οργην θυμου μου διοτι εν πυρι ζηλους μου καταναλωθησεται πασα η γη8 Wherefore expect me, saith the Lord, in the day of my resurrection that is to come, for my judgment is to assemble the Gentiles, and to gather the kingdoms: and to pour upon them my indignation, all my fierce anger: for with the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be devoured.
9 οτι τοτε μεταστρεψω επι λαους γλωσσαν εις γενεαν αυτης του επικαλεισθαι παντας το ονομα κυριου του δουλευειν αυτω υπο ζυγον ενα9 Because then I will restore to the people a chosen lip, that all may call upon the name of the Lord, and may serve him with one shoulder.
10 εκ περατων ποταμων αιθιοπιας οισουσιν θυσιας μοι10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, shall my suppliants the children of my dispersed people bring me an offering.
11 εν τη ημερα εκεινη ου μη καταισχυνθης εκ παντων των επιτηδευματων σου ων ησεβησας εις εμε οτι τοτε περιελω απο σου τα φαυλισματα της υβρεως σου και ουκετι μη προσθης του μεγαλαυχησαι επι το ορος το αγιον μου11 In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proud boasters, and thou shalt no more be lifted up because of my holy mountain.
12 και υπολειψομαι εν σοι λαον πραυν και ταπεινον και ευλαβηθησονται απο του ονοματος κυριου12 And I will leave in the midst of thee a poor and needy people: and they shall hope in the name of the Lord.
13 οι καταλοιποι του ισραηλ και ου ποιησουσιν αδικιαν και ου λαλησουσιν ματαια και ου μη ευρεθη εν τω στοματι αυτων γλωσσα δολια διοτι αυτοι νεμησονται και κοιτασθησονται και ουκ εσται ο εκφοβων αυτους13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed, and shall lie down, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
14 χαιρε σφοδρα θυγατερ σιων κηρυσσε θυγατερ ιερουσαλημ ευφραινου και κατατερπου εξ ολης της καρδιας σου θυγατερ ιερουσαλημ14 Give praise, O daughter of Sion: shout, O Israel: be glad, and rejoice with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 περιειλεν κυριος τα αδικηματα σου λελυτρωται σε εκ χειρος εχθρων σου βασιλευς ισραηλ κυριος εν μεσω σου ουκ οψη κακα ουκετι15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgment, he hath turned away thy enemies: the king of Israel the Lord is in the midst of thee, thou shalt fear evil no more.
16 εν τω καιρω εκεινω ερει κυριος τη ιερουσαλημ θαρσει σιων μη παρεισθωσαν αι χειρες σου16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not: to Sion: Let not thy hands be weakened.
17 κυριος ο θεος σου εν σοι δυνατος σωσει σε επαξει επι σε ευφροσυνην και καινιει σε εν τη αγαπησει αυτου και ευφρανθησεται επι σε εν τερψει ως εν ημερα εορτης17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, he will save: he will rejoice over thee with gladness, he will be silent in his love, he will be joyful over thee in praise.
18 και συναξω τους συντετριμμενους ουαι τις ελαβεν επ' αυτην ονειδισμον18 The triflers that were departed from the law, I will gather together, because they were of thee: that thou mayest no more suffer reproach for them.
19 ιδου εγω ποιω εν σοι ενεκεν σου εν τω καιρω εκεινω λεγει κυριος και σωσω την εκπεπιεσμενην και την απωσμενην εισδεξομαι και θησομαι αυτους εις καυχημα και ονομαστους εν παση τη γη19 Behold I will cut off all that have afflicted thee at that time: and I will save her that halteth, and will gather her that was cast out: and I will get them praise, and a name, in all the land where they had been put to confusion.
20 και καταισχυνθησονται εν τω καιρω εκεινω οταν καλως υμιν ποιησω και εν τω καιρω οταν εισδεξωμαι υμας διοτι δωσω υμας ονομαστους και εις καυχημα εν πασιν τοις λαοις της γης εν τω επιστρεφειν με την αιχμαλωσιαν υμων ενωπιον υμων λεγει κυριος .20 At that time, when I will bring you: and at the time that I will gather you: for I will give you a name, and praise among all the people of the earth, when I shall have brought back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
