| 1 | Woe to thee, O city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine shall not depart from thee. | Vae civitas sanguinum, universa mendacii dilaceratione plena! non recedet a te rapina. | Ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων, ὅλη ψευδὴς, ἀδικίας πλήρης, οὐ ψηλαφηθήσεται θήρα. |
| 2 | The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the neighing horse, and of the running chariot, and of the horsemen coming up, | Vox flagelli, et vox impetus rotae, et equi frementis, et quadrigae ferventis, et equitis ascendentis, | Φωνὴ μαστίγων, καὶ φωνὴ σεισμοῦ τροχῶν, καὶ ἵππου διώκοντος, καὶ ἅρματος ἀναβράσσοντος, |
| 3 | And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead bodies. | et micantis gladii, et fulgurantis hastae, et multitudinis interfectae, et gravis ruinae; nec est finis cadaverum, et corruent in corporibus suis. | καὶ ἱππέως ἀναβαίνοντος, καὶ στιλβούσης ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἐξαστραπτόντων ὅπλων, καὶ πλήθους τραυματιῶν, καὶ βαρείας πτώσεως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας· |
| 4 | Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts. | Propter multitudinem fornicationum meretricis speciosae, et gratae, et habentis maleficia, quae vendidit gentes in fornicationibus suis, et familias in maleficiis suis. | πόρνη καλὴ, καὶ ἐπίχαρις ἡγουμένη φαρμάκων, ἡ πωλοῦσα ἔθνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ λαοὺς ἐν τοῖς φαρμάκοις αὐτῆς. |
| 5 | Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the nations, and thy shame to kingdoms. | Ecce ego ad te, dicit Dominus exercituum, et revelabo pudenda tua in facie tua; et ostendam gentibus nuditatem tuam, et regnis ignominiam tuam. | Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ δείξω ἔθνεσι τὴν αἰσχύνην σου, καὶ βασιλείαις τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου. |
| 6 | And I will cast abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and will make an example of thee. | Et proiiciam super te abominationes, et contumeliis te afficiam, et ponam te in exemplum. | Καὶ ἐπιῤῥίψω ἐπὶ σὲ βδελυγμὸν κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας σου, καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς παράδειγμα. |
| 7 | And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee? | Et erit: omnis qui viderit te resiliet a te, et dicet: Vastata est Ninive. Quis commovebit super te caput? unde quaeram consolatorem tibi? | Καὶ ἔσται, πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε καταβήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐρεῖ, δειλαία Νινευή· τίς στενάξει αὐτήν; πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ; |
| 8 | Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls. | Numquid melior es Alexandria populorum, quae habitat in fluminibus? aquae in circuitu eius; cuius divitiae, mare; aquae, muri eius. | Ἑτοιμασὰι μερίδα, ἁρμόσαι χορδὴν, ἑτοιμάσαι μερίδα Ἀμμών· ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς, ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα, καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς, |
| 9 | Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers. | Aethiopia fortitudo eius, et Aegyptus, et non est finis; Africa et Libyes fuerunt in auxilio tuo. | καὶ Αἰθιοπία ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ Αἴγυπτος· καὶ οὐκ ἔστη πέρας τῆς φυγῆς· καὶ Λίβυες ἐγένοντο βοηθοὶ αὐτῆς. |
| 10 | Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters. | Sed et ipsa in transmigrationem ducta est in captivitatem: parvuli eius elisi sunt in capite omnium viarum, et super inclytos eius miserunt sortem, et omnes optimates eius confixi sunt in compedibus. | Καὶ αὐτὴ εἰς μετοικεσίαν πορεύσεται αἰχμάλωτος καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐδαφιοῦσιν ἐπʼ ἀρχὰς πασῶν τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς βαλοῦσι κλήρους· καὶ πάντες οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς δεθήσονται χειροπέδαις. |
| 11 | Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemy. | Et tu ergo inebriaberis, et eris despecta: et tu quaeres auxilium ab inimico. | Καὶ σὺ μεθυσθήσῃ, καὶ ἔσῃ ὑπερεωραμένη, καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῇ στάσιν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν. |
| 12 | All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater. | Omnes munitiones tuae sicut ficus cum grossis suis: si concussae fuerint, cadent in os comedentis. | Πάντα τὰ ὀχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι· ἐὰν σαλευθῶσι, πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἔσθοντος. |
| 13 | Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars. | Ecce populus tuus mulieres in medio tui: inimicis tuis adapertione pandentur portae terrae tuae, devorabit ignis vectes tuos. | Ἰδοὺ ὁ λαός σου ὡς γυναῖκες ἐν σοὶ, τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἀνοιγόμεναι ἀνοιχθήσονται πύλαι τῆς γῆς σου, καταφάγεται πῦρ τοὺς μοχλούς σου. |
| 14 | Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick. | Aquam propter obsidionem hauri tibi: exstrue munitiones tuas, intra in lutum, et calca, subigens tene laterem. | Ὕδωρ περιοχῆς ἐπίσπασαι σεαυτῇ, καὶ κατακράτησον τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων σου· ἔμβηθι εἰς πηλὸν, καὶ συμπατήθητι ἐν ἀχύροις, κατακράτησον ὑπὲρ πλίνθον. |
| 15 | There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust. | Ibi comedet te ignis, peribis gladio, devorabit te ut bruchus: congregare ut bruchus, multiplicare ut locusta. | Ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ, ἐξολοθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία, καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρὶς, καὶ βαρυνθήσῃ ὡς βροῦχος. |
| 16 | Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away. | Plures fecisti negotiationes tuas quam stellae sint caeli; bruchus expansus est, et avolavit. | Ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἐμπορίας σου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· βροῦχος ὥρμησε, καὶ ἐξεπετάσθη. |
| 17 | Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were. | Custodes tui quasi locustae, et parvuli tui quasi locustae locustarum, quae considunt in sepibus in die frigoris: sol ortus est, et avolaverunt, et non est cognitus locus earum ubi fuerint. | Ἐξήλατο ὡς ἀττέλεβος ὁ σύμμικτός σου, ὡς ἀκρὶς ἐπιβεβηκυῖα ἐπὶ φραγμὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πάγους· ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλε, καὶ ἀφήλατο, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς· οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς. |
| 18 | Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them together. | Dormitaverunt pastores tui, rex Assur, sepelientur principes tui: latitavit populus tuus in montibus, et non est qui congreget. | Ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ποιμένες σου, βασιλεὺς Ἀσσύριος ἐκοίμισε τοὺς δυνάστας σου, ἀπῇρεν ὁ λαός σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκδεχόμενος. |
| 19 | Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? | Non est obscura contritio tua; pessima est plaga tua. Omnes qui audierunt auditionem tuam compresserunt manum super te: quia super quem non transiit malitia tua semper? | Οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις τῇ συντριβῇ σου, ἐφλέγμανεν ἡ πληγή σου, πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες τὴν ἀγγελίαν σου κροτήσουσι χεῖρας ἐπὶ σέ· διότι ἐπὶ τίνα οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἡ κακία σου διαπαντός; |
