| 1 | Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel. | Vae qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariae: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israël! | Οὐαὶ τοῖς ἐξουθενοῦσι Σιὼν, καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σαμαρείας, ἀπετρύγησαν ἀρχὰς ἐθνῶν, καὶ εἰσῆλθον αὐτοί. οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ |
| 2 | Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border. | Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam, et descendite in Geth Palaestinorum, et ad optima quaeque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est. | διάβητε πάντες καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ διέλθατε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ἐματραββὰ, καὶ κατάβητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Γὲθ ἀλλοφύλων, τὰς κρατίστας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τούτων, εἰ πλείονα τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἐστι τῶν ὑμετέρων ὁρίων. |
| 3 | You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity; | Qui separati estis in diem malum, et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis; | Οἱ ἐρχόμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κακὴν, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες καὶ ἐφαπτόμενοι σαββάτων ψευδῶν, |
| 4 | You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd; | qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris; qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti; | οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπὶ κλινῶν ἐλεφαντίνων, καὶ κατασπαταλῶντες ἐπὶ ταῖς στρωμναῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσθοντες ἐρίφους ἐκ ποιμνίων, καὶ μοσχάρια ἐκ μέσου βουκολίων γαλαθηνὰ, |
| 5 | You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David; | qui canitis ad vocem psalterii, sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici, | οἱ ἐπικροτοῦντες πρὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῶν ὀργάνων, ὡς ἑστηκότα ἐλογίσαντο, καὶ οὐχ ὡς φεύγοντα, |
| 6 | That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph. | bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti, et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph. | οἱ πίνοντες τὸν διυλισμένον οἶνον, καὶ τὰ πρῶτα μῦρα χριόμενοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῇ συντριβῇ Ἰωσήφ. |
| 7 | Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away. | Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium. | Διὰ τοῦτο νῦν αἰχμάλωτοι ἔσονται ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς δυναστῶν, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται χρεμετισμὸς ἵππων ἐξ Ἐφραίμ· |
| 8 | The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof. | Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Detestor ego superbiam Iacob, et domos eius odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis. | Ὅτι ὤμοσε Κύριος καθʼ ἑαυτοῦ, διότι βδελύσσομαι ἐγὼ πᾶσαν τὴν ὕβριν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτοῦ μεμίσηκα, καὶ ἐξαρῶ πόλιν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν. |
| 9 | And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die. | Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur. | Καὶ ἔσται, ἐὰν ὑπολειφθῶσι δέκα ἄνδρες ἐν οἰκίᾳ μιᾷ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται, καὶ ὑπολειφθήσονται οἱ κατάλοιποι, |
| 10 | And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? | Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo; et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te? | καὶ λήψονται οἱ οἰκεῖοι αὐτῶν, καὶ παραβιῶνται τοῦ ἐξενέγκαι τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἐρεῖ τοῖς προεστηκόσι τῆς οἰκίας, εἰ ἔτι ὑπάρχει παρὰ σοί; Καὶ ἐρεῖ, οὐκ ἔτι· καὶ ἐρεῖ, σίγα ἕνεκα τοῦ μὴ ὀνομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου. |
| 11 | And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord. | Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini. | Διότι ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἐντέλλεται, καὶ πατάξει τὸν οἶκον τὸν μέγαν θλάσμασι, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν μικρὸν ῥάγμασιν. |
| 12 | For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts. | Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus. | Εἰ διώξονται ἐν πέτραις ἵπποι; εἰ παρασιωπήσονται ἐν θηλείαις; ὅτι ἐξεστρέψατε εἰς θυμὸν κρίμα, καὶ καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης εἰς πικρίαν, |
| 13 | Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood. | Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis? quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium, et fructum iustitiae in absinthium. | οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπʼ οὐδενὶ λόγῳ, οἱ λέγοντες, οὐκ ἐν τῃ ἰσχύϊ ἡμῶν ἔσχομεν κέρατα; |
| 14 | You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength? | Qui laetamini in nihilo; qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua? | Διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπεγερῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἔθνος, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων, καὶ ἐκθλίψουσιν ὑμᾶς τοῦ μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς Αἰμὰθ, καὶ ὡς τοῦ χειμάῤῥου τῶν δυσμῶν. |
| 15 | But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert. | Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israël, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem, et conteret vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem deserti. | — |
