| 1 | Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars. | Διάνοιξον ὁ Λίβανος τὰς θύρας σου, καὶ καταφαγέτω πῦρ τὰς κέδρους σου. |
| 2 | Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down. | Ὀλολυξάτω πίτυς, διότι πέπτωκε κέδρος, ὅτι μεγάλως μεγιστᾶνες ἐταλαιπώρησαν· ὀλολύξατε δρύες τῆς Βασανίτιδος, ὅτι κατεσπάσθη ὁ δρυμὸς ὁ σύμφυτος. |
| 3 | The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled. | Φωνὴ θρηνούντων ποιμένων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν ἡ μεγαλωσύνη αὐτῶν· φωνὴ ὠρυομένων λεόντων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκε τὸ φρύαγμα τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. |
| 4 | Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter, | Τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, ποιμαίνετε τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς, |
| 5 | Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not. | ἃ οἱ κτησάμενοι κατέσφαζον, καὶ οὐ μετεμέλοντο, καὶ οἱ πωλοῦντες αὐτὰ ἔλεγον, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, καὶ πεπλουτήκαμεν· καὶ οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς. |
| 6 | And I will no more spare the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: behold I will deliver the men, every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall destroy the land, and I will not deliver it out of their hand. | Διατοῦτο οὐ φείσομαι οὐκέτι ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἕκαστον εἰς χεῖρα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς χεῖρα βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατακόψουσι τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωμαι ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν. |
| 7 | And I will feed the hock of slaughter for this, O ye poor of the dock. And I took unto me two rods, one I called Beauty, and the other I called a Cord, and I fed the flock. | Καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς εἰς τὴν Χαναανίτιν· καὶ λήψομαι ἐμαυτῷ δύο ῥάβδους, τὴν μὲν μίαν ἐκάλεσα Κάλλος, καὶ τὴν ἑτέραν ἐκάλεσα Σχοίνισμα, καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα. |
| 8 | And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard. | Καὶ ἐξαρῶ τοὺς τρεῖς ποιμένας ἐν μηνὶ ἑνὶ, καὶ βαρυνθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ γὰρ αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν ἐπωρύοντο ἐπʼ ἐμέ. |
| 9 | And I said: I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die: and that which is cut off, let it be cut off: and let the rest devour every one the flesh of his neighbour. | Καὶ εἶπα, οὐ ποιμανῶ ὑμᾶς· τὸ ἀποθνῆσκον ἀποθνησκέτω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐκλιπέτω, καὶ τὰ κατάλοιπα κατεσθιέτωσαν ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ. |
| 10 | And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people. | Καὶ λήψομαι τὴν ῥάβδον μου τὴν καλὴν, καὶ ἀποῤῥίψω αὐτὴν, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς, |
| 11 | And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord. | καὶ διασκεδασθήσεται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ γνώσονται οἱ Χαναναῖοι τὰ πρόβατα τὰ φυλασσόμενά μοι, διότι λόγος Κυρίου ἐστί. |
| 12 | And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. | Καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, εἰ καλὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐστι, δότε τὸν μισθόν μου, ἢ ἀπείπασθε· καὶ ἔστησαν τὸν μισθόν μου τριακοντα ἀργυροῦς. |
| 13 | And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, κάθες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον, καὶ σκέψομαι εἰ δόκιμόν ἐστιν, ὃν τρόπον ἐδοκιμάσθην ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς, καὶ ἐνέβαλον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον. |
| 14 | And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel. | Καὶ ἀπέῤῥιψα τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν δευτέραν τὸ Σχοίνισμα, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν κατάσχεσιν ἀναμέσον Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἰσραήλ. |
| 15 | And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἔτι λάβε σεαυτῷ σκεύη ποιμενικὰ ποιμένος ἀπείρου· |
| 16 | For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs. | διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ποιμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, τὸ ἐκλιμπάνον οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψηται, καὶ τὸ ἐσκορπισμένον οὐ μὴ ζητήσῃ, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον οὐ μὴ ἰάσηται, καὶ τὸ ὁλόκληρον οὐ μὴ κατευθύνῃ, καὶ τὰ κρέα τῶν ἑκλεκτῶν καταφάγεται, καὶ τοὺς ἀστραγάλους αὐτῶν ἐκστρέψει. |
| 17 | O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. | Ὢ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ μάταια, καταλελοιπότες τὰ πρόβατα, μάχαιρα ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν τὸν δεξιὸν αὐτοῦ, ὁ βραχίων αὐτοῦ ξηραινόμενος ξηρανθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς ὁ δεξιὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκτυφλούμενος ἐκτυφλωθήσεται. |
