| 1 | At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded. | Primo tempore alleviata est terra Zabulon et terra Nephthali: et novissimo aggravata est via maris trans Iordanem Galilaeae gentium. | Ὁ λαὸς ὁ πορευόμενος ἐν σκότει, ἴδετε φῶς μέγα· οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν χώρᾳ σκιᾷ θανάτου, φῶς λάμψει ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς. |
| 2 | The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen. | Populus qui ambulabat in tenebris, vidit lucem magnam; habitantibus in regione umbrae mortis, lux orta est eis. | Τὸ πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ, ὃ κατήγαγες ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ σου· καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται ἐνώπιόν σου, ὡς οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐν ἀμήτῳ, καὶ ὃν τρόπον οἱ διαιρούμενοι σκῦλα. |
| 3 | Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils. | Multiplicasti gentem, et non magnificasti laetitiam. Laetabuntur coram te, sicut qui laetantur in messe; sicut exsultant victores capta praeda, quando dividunt spolia. | Διότι ἀφῄρηται ὁ ζυγὸς ὁ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν κείμενος, καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος ἡ ἐπὶ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῶν· τὴν γὰρ ῥάβδον τῶν ἀπαιτούντων διεσκέδασεν, ὡς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐπὶ Μαδιάμ. |
| 4 | For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou best overcome, as in the day of Median. | Iugum enim oneris eius, et virgam humeri eius, et sceptrum exactoris eius superasti, sicut in die Madian. | Ὅτι πᾶσαν στολὴν ἐπισυνήγμένην δόλῳ, καὶ ἱμάτιον μετὰ καταλλαγῆς ἀποτίσουσι· καὶ θελήσουσιν, εἰ ἐγένοντο πυρίκαυστοι. |
| 5 | For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire. | Quia omnis violentia praedatio cum tumultu, et vestimentum mistum sanguine, erit in combustionem, et cibus ignis. | Ὅτι παιδίον ἐγεννήθη ἡμῖν, υἱὸς καὶ ἐδόθη ἡμῖν, οὗ ἡ ἀρχὴ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τοῦ ὤμου αὐτοῦ, καὶ καλεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Μεγάλης βουλῆς ἄγγελος· ἄξω γὰρ εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ ὑγίειαν αὐτῷ. |
| 6 | For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace. | Parvulus enim natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis, et factus est principatus super humerum eius: et vocabitur nomen eius, Admirabilis, Consiliarius, Deus, Fortis, Pater futuri saeculi, Princeps pacis. | Μεγάλη ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ὅριον· ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Δαυεὶδ, καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ, κατορθῶσαι αὐτὴν, καὶ ἀντιλαβέσθαι ἐν κρίματι καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὁ ζῆλος Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ποιήσει ταῦτα. |
| 7 | His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. | Multiplicabitur eius imperium, et pacis non erit finis; super solium David, et super regnum eius sedebit, ut confirmet illud et corroboret in iudicio et iustitia, amodo et usque in sempiternum: zelus Domini exercituum faciet hoc. | Θάνατον ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 8 | The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. | Verbum misit Dominus in Iacob, et cecidit in Israël. | Καὶ γνώσονται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ οἱ καθήμενοι ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ἐφʼ ὕβρει καὶ ὑψηλῇ καρδίᾳ λέγοντες, |
| 9 | And all the people of Ephraim shall know, and the inhabitants of Samaria that say in the pride and haughtiness of their heart: | Et sciet omnis populus Ephraim, et habitantes Samariam, in superbia et magnitudine cordis dicentes: | πλίνθοι πεπτώκασιν, ἀλλὰ δεῦτε λαξεύσωμεν λίθους, καὶ κόψωμεν συκαμίνους καὶ κέδρους, καὶ οἰκοδομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς πύργον. |
| 10 | The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars. | Lateres ceciderunt, sed quadris lapidibus aedificabimus; sycomoros succiderunt, sed cedros immutabimus. | Καὶ ῥάξει ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐπανισταμένους ἐπὶ ὄρος Σιὼν ἐπὶ αὐτὸν, καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς διασκεδάσει· |
| 11 | And the Lord shall set up the enemies of Rasin over him, and shall bring on his enemies in a crowd: | Et elevabit Dominus hostes Rasin super eum, et inimicos eius in tumultum vertet. | Συρίαν ἀφʼ ἡλίου ἀνατολῶν, καὶ τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἀφʼ ἡλίου δυσμῶν, τοὺς κατεσθίοντας τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ὅλῳ τῷ στόματι· ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμὸς, ἀλλʼ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ ὑψηλή. |
| 12 | The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth, For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. | Syriam ab oriente, et Philisthiim ab occidente; et devorabunt Israël toto ore. In omnibus his non est aversus furor eius, sed adhuc manus eius extenta. | Καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐκ ἀπεστράφη, ἕως ἐπλήγη, καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν. |
| 13 | And the people are not returned to him who hath struck them, and have not sought after the Lord of hosts. | Et populus non est reversus ad percutientem se, et Dominum exercituum non inquisierunt. | Καὶ ἀφεῖλε Κύριος ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ κεφαλὴν καὶ οὐρὰν, μέγαν καὶ μικρὸν, ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ, πρεσβύτην, καὶ τοὺς τὰ πρόσωπα θαυμάζοντας, αὕτη ἡ ἀρχή· |
| 14 | And the Lord shall destroy out of Israel the head and the tail, him that bendeth down, and him that holdeth back, in one day. | Et disperdet Dominus ab Israël caput et caudam, incurvantem et refrenantem, die una. | καὶ προφήτην διδάσκοντα ἄνομα, οὗτος ἡ οὐρά. |
| 15 | The aged and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. | Longaevus et honorabilis, ipse est caput; et propheta docens mendacium, ipse est cauda. | Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ μακαρίζοντες τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον πλανῶντες, καὶ πλανῶσιν, ὅπως καταπίνωσιν αὐτούς. |
| 16 | And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down headlong. | Et erunt qui beatificant populum istum, seducentes; et qui beatificantur, praecipitati. | Διατοῦτο ἐπὶ τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐφρανθήσεται ὁ Κύριος, καὶ τοὺς ὀρφανοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς χήρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐλεήσει· ὅτι πάντε ἄνομοι καὶ πονηροί, καὶ πᾶν στόμα λαλεῖ ἄδικα· ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμός, ἀλλʼ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ ὑψηλή. |
| 17 | Therefore the Lord shell have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his bend is stretched out still. | Propter hoc super adolescentulis eius non laetabitur Dominus, et pupillorum eius et viduarum non miserebitur: quia omnis hypocrita est et nequam, et universum os locutum est stultitiam; in omnibus his non est aversus furor eius, sed adhuc manus eius extenta. | Καὶ καυθήσεται ὡς πῦρ ἡ ἀνομία, καὶ ὡς ἄγρωστις ξηρὰ βρωθήσεται ὑπὸ πυρός· καὶ καυθήσεται ἐν τοῖς δάσεσι τοῦ δρυμοῦ, καὶ συγκαταφάγεται τὰ κύκλῳ τῶν βουνῶν πάντα. |
| 18 | For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high. | Succensa est enim quasi ignis impietas: veprem et spinam vorabit, et succendetur in densitate saltus, et convolvetur superbia fumi. | Διὰ θυμὸν ὀργῆς Κυρίου συγκέκαυται ἡ γῆ ὅλη· καὶ ἔσται ὁ λαὸς ὡς κατακεκαυμένος ὑπὸ πυρὸς· ἄνθρωπος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐλεήσει. |
| 19 | By the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is troubled, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire: no man shall spare his brother. | In ira Domini exercituum conturbata est terra, et erit populus quasi esca ignis; vir fratri suo non parcet. | Ἀλλὰ ἐκκλινεῖ εἰς τὰ δεξιά, ὅτι πεινάσει, καὶ φάγεται ἐκ τῶν ἀριστερῶν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἔσθων τὰς σάρκας τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ. |
| 20 | And he shall turn to the right hand, and shall be hungry: and shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be filled: every one shell eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasses Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they together shall be against Juda. | Et declinabit ad dexteram, et esuriet; et comedet ad sinistram, et non saturabitur; unusquisque carnem brachii sui vorabit: Manasses Ephraim, et Ephraim Manassen; simul ipsi contra Iudam. | Φάγεται γὰρ Μανασσῆς τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ τοῦ Μανασσῆ, ὅτι ἅμα πολιορκήσουσι τὸν Ἰούδαν. ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμός, ἀλλʼ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ ὑψηλή. |
| 21 | After all these things his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. | In omnibus his non est aversus furor eius, sed adhuc manus eius extenta. | — |
