| 1 | Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον κυρίου τοῦτον, ὃν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐφ' ὑμᾶς θρῆνον, οἶκος Ισραηλ |
Hear ye this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise. | A call to repentance. Am.5.1-27 |
| 2 | Ἔπεσεν οὐκέτι μὴ προσθῇ τοῦ ἀναστῆναι παρθένος τοῦ Ισραηλ· ἔσφαλεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀναστήσων αὐτήν. |
The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up. | |
| 3 | διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Ἡ πόλις, ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο χίλιοι, ὑπολειφθήσονται ἑκατόν, καὶ ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο ἑκατόν, ὑπολειφθήσονται δέκα τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ. |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel. | |
| 4 | διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος πρὸς τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ Ἑκζητήσατέ με καὶ ζήσεσθε· |
Wherefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live. | |
| 5 | καὶ μὴ ἐκζητεῖτε Βαιθηλ καὶ εἰς Γαλγαλα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου μὴ διαβαίνετε, ὅτι Γαλγαλα αἰχμαλωτευομένη αἰχμαλωτευθήσεται, καὶ Βαιθηλ ἔσται ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρχουσα· |
But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not. | |
| 6 | ἐκζητήσατε τὸν κύριον καὶ ζήσατε, ὅπως μὴ ἀναλάμψῃ ὡς πῦρ ὁ οἶκος Ιωσηφ, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ. |
Seek ye the Lord, and ye shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel. | |
| 7 | κύριος ὁ ποιῶν εἰς ὕψος κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην εἰς γῆν ἔθηκεν, |
[It is he] that executes judgment in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth: | |
| 8 | ποιῶν πάντα καὶ μετασκευάζων καὶ ἐκτρέπων εἰς τὸ πρωῒ σκιὰν θανάτου καὶ ἡμέραν εἰς νύκτα συσκοτάζων, ὁ προσκαλούμενος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐκχέων αὐτὸ ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ· |
who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name: | |
| 9 | ὁ διαιρῶν συντριμμὸν ἐπ' ἰσχὺν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπὶ ὀχύρωμα ἐπάγων. |
who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress. | |
| 10 | ἐμίσησαν ἐν πύλαις ἐλέγχοντα καὶ λόγον ὅσιον ἐβδελύξαντο. |
They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech. | |
| 11 | διὰ τοῦτο ἀνθ' ὧν κατεκονδυλίζετε πτωχοὺς καὶ δῶρα ἐκλεκτὰ ἐδέξασθε παρ' αὐτῶν, οἴκους ξυστοὺς ᾠκοδομήσατε καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσητε ἐν αὐτοῖς, ἀμπελῶνας ἐπιθυμητοὺς ἐφυτεύσατε καὶ οὐ μὴ πίητε τὸν οἶνον ἐξ αὐτῶν. |
Therefore because they have smitten the poor with their fists, and ye have received of them choice gifts; ye have built polished houses, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted desirable vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine of them. | |
| 12 | ὅτι ἔγνων πολλὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἰσχυραὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν, καταπατοῦντες δίκαιον, λαμβάνοντες ἀλλάγματα καὶ πένητας ἐν πύλαις ἐκκλίνοντες. |
For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates. | |
| 13 | διὰ τοῦτο ὁ συνίων ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι καιρὸς πονηρός ἐστιν. |
Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils. | |
| 14 | ἐκζητήσατε τὸ καλὸν καὶ μὴ τὸ πονηρόν, ὅπως ζήσητε· καὶ ἔσται οὕτως μεθ' ὑμῶν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὃν τρόπον εἴπατε |
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as ye have said, | |
| 15 | Μεμισήκαμεν τὰ πονηρὰ καὶ ἠγαπήκαμεν τὰ καλά· καὶ ἀποκαταστήσατε ἐν πύλαις κρίμα, ὅπως ἐλεήσῃ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ τοὺς περιλοίπους τοῦ Ιωσηφ. |
We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore ye judgment in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph. | |
| 16 | διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ Ἑν πάσαις πλατείαις κοπετός, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς ῥηθήσεται Οὐαὶ οὐαί· κληθήσεται γεωργὸς εἰς πένθος καὶ κοπετὸν καὶ εἰς εἰδότας θρῆνον, |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining. | |
| 17 | καὶ ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς κοπετός, διότι διελεύσομαι διὰ μέσου σου, εἶπεν κύριος. |
And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the Lord. | |
| 18 | Οὐαὶ οἱ ἐπιθυμοῦντες τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίου· ἵνα τί αὕτη ὑμῖν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου; καὶ αὐτή ἐστιν σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς, |
Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light. | |
| 19 | ὃν τρόπον ὅταν φύγῃ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἐμπέσῃ αὐτῷ ἡ ἄρκος, καὶ εἰσπηδήσῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπερείσηται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ δάκῃ αὐτὸν ὁ ὄφις. |
As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him. | |
| 20 | οὐχὶ σκότος ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ οὐ φῶς; καὶ γνόφος οὐκ ἔχων φέγγος αὐτῇ. |
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness? | |
| 21 | μεμίσηκα ἀπῶσμαι ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀσφρανθῶ ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ὑμῶν· |
I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies. | |
| 22 | διότι καὶ ἐὰν ἐνέγκητέ μοι ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας ὑμῶν, οὐ προσδέξομαι αὐτά, καὶ σωτηρίου ἐπιφανείας ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιβλέψομαι. |
Wherefore if ye should bring me your whole-burnt-sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings. | |
| 23 | μετάστησον ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἦχον ᾠδῶν σου, καὶ ψαλμὸν ὀργάνων σου οὐκ ἀκούσομαι· |
Remove from me the sound of thy songs, and I will not hear the music of thine instruments. | |
| 24 | καὶ κυλισθήσεται ὡς ὕδωρ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνη ὡς χειμάρρους ἄβατος. |
But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent. | |
| 25 | μὴ σφάγια καὶ θυσίας προσηνέγκατέ μοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη, οἶκος Ισραηλ; |
Have ye offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness? | |
| 26 | καὶ ἀνελάβετε τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Μολοχ καὶ τὸ ἄστρον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν Ραιφαν, τοὺς τύπους αὐτῶν, οὓς ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς. |
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which y made for yourselves. | |
| 27 | καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Δαμασκοῦ, λέγει κύριος, ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ. |
And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the Almighty God is his name. | |
