| 1 | And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey. | Et dixit Dominus ad me: Sume tibi librum grandem, et scribe in eo stylo hominis: Velociter spolia detrahe, cito praedare. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, λάβε σεαυτῷ τόμον καινοῦ μεγαλοῦ, καὶ γράψον εἰς αὐτὸν γραφίδι ἀνθρώπου, τοῦ ὀξέως προνομὴν ποιῆσαι σκύλων· |
| 2 | And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias. | Et adhibui mihi testes fideles, Uriam sacerdotem, et Zachariam, filium Barachiae: | Πάρεστι γάρ· καὶ μάρτυράς μοι ποίησον πιστοὺς ἀνθρώπους, τὸν Οὐρίαν καὶ Ζαχαρίαν υἱὸν Βαραχίου. |
| 3 | And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey. | et accessi ad prophetissam, et concepit, et peperit filium. Et dixit Dominus ad me: Voca nomen eius: Accelera spolia detrahere; Festina praedari: | Καὶ προσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν προφῆτιν, καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβε, καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ εἶπε Κύριός μοι, κάλεσον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Ταχέως σκύλευσον, ὀξέως προνόμευσον· |
| 4 | For before the child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians. | quia antequam sciat puer vocare patrem suum et matrem suam, auferetur fortitudo Damasci, et spolia Samariae, coram rege Assyriorum. | Διότι πρινὴ γνῶναι τὸ παιδίον καλεῖν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, λήψεται δύναμιν Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ τὰ σκῦλα Σαμαρείας ἔναντι βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων. |
| 5 | And the Lord spoke to me again, saying: | Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc, dicens: | Καὶ προσέθετο Κύριος λαλῆσαί μοι ἔτι· |
| 6 | Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia: | Pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloë, quae vadunt cum silentio, et assumpsit magis Rasin, et filium Romeliae: | Διὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Σιλωὰμ τὸ πορευόμενον ἡσυχῆ, ἀλλὰ βούλεσθαι ἔχειν τὸν Ῥασσὶν καὶ τὸν υἱὸν Ῥομελίου βασιλέα ἐφʼ ὑμῶν, |
| 7 | Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his banks, | propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos aquas fluminis fortes et multas, regem Assyriorum, et omnem gloriam eius, et ascendet super omnes rivos eius, et fluet super universas ripas eius; | διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἀνάγει ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, τὸ ἰσχυρὸν καὶ τὸ πολὺ, τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φάραγγα ὑμῶν, καὶ περιπατήσει ἐπὶ πᾶν τεῖχος ὑμῶν, |
| 8 | And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel. | et ibit per Iudam, inundans, et transiens: usque ad collum veniet. Et erit extensio alarum eius implens latitudinem terrae tuae, o Emmanuel! | καὶ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ τῆς Ιουδαίας ἄνθρωπον, ὃς δυνήσεται κεφαλὴν ἆραι, ἢ δυνατὸν συντελέσασθαί τι· καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ ὥστε πληρῶσαι τὸ πλάτος τῆς χώρας σου, μεθʼ ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός. |
| 9 | Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome. | Congregamini, populi, et vincimini; et audite, universae procul terrae: confortamini, et vincimini; accingite vos, et vincimini. | Γνῶτε ἔθνη καὶ ἡττᾶσθε, ἐπακούσατε ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς· ἰσχυκότες ἡττᾶσθε· ἐὰν γὰρ πάλιν ἰσχύσητε, πάλιν ἡττηθήσεσθε. |
| 10 | Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us. | Inite consilium, et dissipabitur; loquimini verbum, et non fiet: quia nobiscum Deus. | Καὶ ἣν ἂν βουλεύσησθε βουλὴν, διασκεδάσει Κύριος· καὶ λόγον ὃν ἐὰν λαλήσητε, οὐ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι μεθʼ ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός. |
| 11 | For thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: | Haec enim ait Dominus ad me: Sicut in manu forti erudivit me, ne irem in via populi huius, dicens: | Οὕτω λέγει Κύριος, Τῇ ἰσχυρᾷ χειρὶ ἀπειθοῦσι τῇ πορεὶᾳ τῆς ὁδοῦ τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, λέγοντες, |
| 12 | Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. | Non dicatis: Coniuratio; omnia enim quae loquitur populus iste, coniuratio est: et timorem eius ne timeatis, neque paveatis. | μήποτε εἴπωσι, σκληρόν· πᾶν γὰρ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ λαὸς οὕτος, σκληρόν ἐστι· τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῆτε οὐδὲ μὴ ταραχθῆτε. |
| 13 | Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. | Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate; ipse pavor vester, et ipse terror vester: | Κύριον αὐτὸν ἁγιάσατε, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου φόβος. |
| 14 | And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | et erit vobis in sanctificationem; in lapidem autem offensionis, et in petram scandali, duabus domibus Israël; in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Ierusalem. | κᾂν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πεποιθὼς ᾖς, ἔσται σοι εἰς ἁγίασμα, καὶ οὐχ ὡς λίθου προσκόμματι συναντήσεσθε, οὐδὲ ὡς πέτρας πτώματι· οἱ δὲ οἶκοι Ἰακὼβ ἐν παγίδι, καὶ ἐν κοιλάσματι ἐγκαθήμενοι ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 15 | And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken. | Et offendent ex eis plurimi, et cadent, et conterentur, et irretientur, et capientur. | Διατοῦτο ἀδυνατήσουσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς πολλοὶ, καὶ πεσοῦνται καὶ συντριβήσονται, καὶ ἐγγιοῦσι, καὶ ἁλώσονται ἄνθρωποι ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ. |
| 16 | Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. | Liga testimonium, signa legem in discipulis meis. | Τότε φανεροὶ ἔσονται οἱ σφραγιζόμενοι τὸν νόμον τοῦ μὴ μαθεῖν. |
| 17 | And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. | Et exspectabo Dominum qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob, et praestolabor eum. | Καὶ ἐρεῖ, μενῶ τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ἀποστρέψαντα τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰακὼβ, καὶ πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπʼ αὐτῷ. |
| 18 | Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion. | Ecce ego et pueri mei quos dedit mihi Dominus in signum, et in portentum Israël a Domino exercituum, qui habitat in monte Sion: | Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καὶ τὰ παιδία ἅ μοι ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεός· καὶ ἔσται σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ, ὃς κατοικεῖ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιών. |
| 19 | And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead? | et cum dixerint ad vos: Quaerite a pythonibus et a divinis qui strident in incantationibus suis: numquid non populus a Deo suo requiret, pro vivis a mortuis? | Καὶ ἐὰν εἴπωσι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ζητήσατε τοὺς ἐγγαστριμύθους, καὶ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς φωνοῦντας, τοὺς κενολογοῦντας, οἳ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας φωνοῦσιν· οὐκ ἔθνος πρὸς Θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσουσι; τί ἐκζητοῦσι περὶ τῶν ζώντων τοὺς νεκρούς; |
| 20 | To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light. | ad legem magis et ad testimonium. Quod si non dixerint iuxta verbum hoc, non erit eis matutina lux. | Νόμον γὰρ εἰς βοήθειαν ἔδωκεν, ἵνα εἴπωσιν οὐχ ὡς τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, περὶ οὗ οὐκ ἔστι δῶρα δοῦναι περὶ αὐτοῦ. |
| 21 | And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards. | Et transibit per eam, corruet, et esuriet; et cum esurierit, irascetur. Et maledicet regi suo, et Deo suo, et suscipiet sursum, | Καὶ ἥξει ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς σκληρὰ λιμὸς, καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν πεινάσητε, λυπηθήσεσθε. καὶ κακῶς ἐρεῖτε τὸν ἄρχοντα καὶ τὰ πάτρια· καὶ ἀναβλέψονται εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω, |
| 22 | And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress. | et ad terram intuebitur; et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae, dissolutio et angustia, et caligo persequens, et non poterit avolare de angustia sua. | καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν κάτω ἐμβλέψονται· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀπορία στενὴ, καὶ σκότος, θλίψις, καὶ στενοχωρία, καὶ σκότος ὥστε μὴ βλέπειν· καὶ οὐκ ἀπορηθήσεται ὁ ἐν στενοχωρίᾳ ὢν ἕως καιροῦ. |
