| 1 | Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel. | Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israël. | Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ. |
| 2 | Thus saith the Lord: Learn not according to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven, which the heathens fear: | Haec dicit Dominus: Iuxta vias gentium nolite discere, et a signis caeli nolite metuere, quae timent gentes, | Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν μὴ μανθάνετε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σημείων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μὴ φοβεῖσθε, ὅτι φοβοῦνται αὐτὰ τοῖς προσώποις αὐτῶν. |
| 3 | For the laws of the people are vain: for the works of the hand of the workman hath cut a tree out of the forest with an axe. | quia leges populorum vanae sunt. Quia lignum de saltu praecidit opus manus artificis in ascia: | Ὅτι τὰ νόμιμα τῶν ἐθνῶν μάταια· ξύλον ἐστὶν ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ ἐκκεκομμένον, ἔργον τέκτονος, καὶ χώνευμα, |
| 4 | He hath decked it with silver and gold: he hath put it together with nails and hammers, that it may not fall asunder. | argento et auro decoravit illud: clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur: | ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ κεκαλλωπισμένα, ἐν σφύραις καὶ ἥλοις ἐστερέωσαν αὐτά· |
| 5 | They are framed after the likeness of a palm tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go. Therefore, fear them not, for they can neither do evil nor good. | in similitudinem palmae fabricata sunt, et non loquentur: portata tollentur, quia incedere non valent. Nolite ergo timere ea, quia nec male possunt facere, nec bene. | Θήσουσιν αὐτὰ, καὶ οὐ κινηθήσονται· ἀργύριον τορευτόν ἐστιν, οὐ πορεύσονται, |
| 6 | There is none like to thee, O Lord: thou art great and great is thy name in might. | Non est similis tui, Domine: magnus es tu, et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine. | — |
| 7 | Who shall fear thee, O king of nations? for thine is the glory: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms there is none like unto thee. | Quis non timebit te, o Rex gentium? tuum est enim decus: inter cunctos sapientes gentium, et in universis regnis eorum, nullus est similis tui. | — |
| 8 | They shall all proved together to be senseless and foolish: the doctrine of their vanity is wood. | Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur: doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est. | — |
| 9 | Silver spread into plates is brought from Tharsis, and gold from Ophaz: the work of the artificer, and of the hand of the coppersmith: violet and purple is their clothing: all these things are the work of artificers. | Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur, et aurum de Ophaz: opus artificis et manus aerarii. Hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum: opus artificum universa haec. | ἀργύριον προσβλητόν ἐστιν. Ἀπὸ Θαρσεὶς ἥξει χρυσίον Μωφὰζ, καὶ χεὶρ χρυσοχόων, ἔργα τεχνιτῶν πάντα, ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐνδύσουσιν αὐτά. Αἰρόμενα ἀρθήσονται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιβήσονται· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτὰ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κακοποιήσωσι, καὶ ἀγαθὸν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 10 | But the Lord is the true God: he is the living God, and the everlasting king, at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his threatening. | Dominus autem Deus verus est, ipse Deus vivens, et rex sempiternus. Ab indignatione eius commovebitur terra, et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem eius. | — |
| 11 | Thus then shall you say to them: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth, and from among those places that are under heaven. | Sic ergo dicetis eis: Dii qui caelos et terram non fecerunt, pereant de terra et de his quae sub caelo sunt! | Οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτοῖς, θεοὶ οἳ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐποίησαν, ἀπολέσθωσαν ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τούτου. |
| 12 | He that maketh the earth by his power, that prepareth the world by his wisdom, and stretcheth out the heavens by his knowledge. | Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua, praeparat orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit caelos: | Κύριος ὁ ποιήσας τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ, ὁ ἀνορθώσας τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ ἐξέτεινε τὸν οὐρανὸν, |
| 13 | At his voice he giveth a multitude of waters in the heaven, and lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings for rain, and bringeth for the wind out of his treasures. | ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in caelo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terrae: fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis. | καὶ πλῆθος ὕδατος ἐν οὐρανῷ· καὶ ἀνήγαγε νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησε, καὶ ἐξήγαγε φῶς ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 14 | Every man is become a fool for knowledge every artist is confounded in his graven idol: for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit in them. | Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia: confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili, quoniam falsum est quod conflavit, et non est spiritus in eis. | Ἐμωράνθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ γνώσεως, κατῃσχύνθη πᾶς χρυσοχόος ἐπὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐχώνευσεν, οὐκ ἔστι πνεῦμα ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 15 | They are vain things and a ridiculous work: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. | Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum: in tempore visitationis suae peribunt. | Μάταιά ἐστιν ἔργα ἐμπεπαιγμένα, ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς αὐτῶν ἀπολοῦνται. |
| 16 | The portion of Jacob is not like these: for it is he who formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. | Non est his similis pars Iacob: qui enim formavit omnia, ipse est, et Israël virga haereditatis eius: Dominus exercituum nomen illi. | Οὐκ ἔστι τοιαύτη μερὶς τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ὅτι ὁ πλάσας τὰ πάντα, αὐτὸς κληρονομία αὐτοῦ, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ. |
| 17 | Gather up thy shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege. | Congrega de terra confusionem tuam, quae habitas in obsidione: | Συνήγαγεν ἔξωθεν τὴν ὑπόστασίν σου, κατοικοῦσαν ἐν ἐκλεκτοῖς. |
| 18 | For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so that they may be found. | quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego longe proiiciam habitatores terrae in hac vice, et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur. | Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ σκελίζω τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἐν θλίψει, ὅπως εὑρεθῇ ἡ πληγή σου. |
| 19 | Woe is me for my destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, and I will bear it. | Vae mihi super contritione mea: pessima plaga mea. Ego autem dixi: Plane haec infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam. | Οὐαὶ ἐπὶ συντρίμματί σου, ἀλγηρὰ ἡ πληγή σου· κᾀγὼ εἶπα, ὄντως τοῦτο τὸ τραῦμά σου, καὶ κατέλαβέ σε. |
| 20 | My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. | Tabernaculum meum vastatum est; omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt: filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt. Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum, et erigat pelles meas. | Ἡ σκηνή σου ἐταλαιπώρησεν, ὤλετο· καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ δέῤῥεις σου διεσπάσθησαν· οἱ υἱοί μου καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὐκ εἰσὶν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι τόπος τῆς σκηνῆς μου, τόπος τῶν δέῤῥεών μου. |
| 21 | Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered. | Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominum non quaesierunt: propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est. | Ὅτι οἱ ποιμένες ἠφρονεύσαντο, καὶ τὸν Κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν· διατοῦτο οὐκ ἐνόησε πᾶσα ἡ νομὴ, καὶ διεσκορπίσθησαν, |
| 22 | Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons. | Vox auditionis ecce venit, et commotio magna de terra aquilonis: ut ponat civitates Iuda solitudinem, et habitaculum draconum. | φωνὴ ἀκοῆς ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται καὶ σειαμὸς μέγας ἐκ γῆς Βοῤῥᾶ, τοῦ τάξαι τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ κοίτην στρουθῶν. |
| 23 | I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps. | Scio, Domine, quia non est hominis via eius, nec viri est ut ambulet, et dirigat gressus suos. | Οἶδα, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐχὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἀνὴρ πορεύσεται καὶ κατορθώσει πορείαν αὐτοῦ. |
| 24 | Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgement: and not in fury, lest thou bring me to nothing. | Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in iudicio, et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me. | Παίδευσον ἡμᾶς Κύριε, πλὴν ἐν κρίσει καὶ μὴ ἐν θυμῷ, ἵνα μὴ ὀλίγους ἡμᾶς ποιήσῃς. |
| 25 | Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory. | Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quae non cognoverunt te, et super provincias quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt: quia comederunt Iacob, et devoraverunt eum, et consumpserunt illum, et decus eius dissipaverunt. | Ἔκχεον τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ εἰδότα σε, καὶ ἐπὶ γενεὰς αἳ τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο, ὅτι κατέφαγον τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐξανήλωσαν αὐτὸν, καὶ τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ ἠρήμωσαν. |
