λέγει κύριος κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν μὴ μανθάνετε καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σημείων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὅτι φοβοῦνται αὐτὰ τοῖς προσώποις αὐτῶν
Thus says the Lord: According to the ways of the nations do not learn, and from the signs of heaven do not be afraid, because they are afraid of them at their faces.
For the statutes of the nations are vain; it is wood cut out of the forest, the work of a craftsman and molten work.
They are adorned with silver and with gold; with hammers and nails they have made them firm, and they shall not be moved.
ἀρθήσονται ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιβήσονται μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτά ὅτι οὐ μὴ κακοποιήσωσιν καὶ ἀγαθὸν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς
They are carried, they shall be lifted up, because they will not step; do not fear them, because they will by no means do evil, and there is no good in them.
τορευτόν ἐστιν οὐ πορεύσονται ἀργύριον προσβλητὸν ἀπὸ Θαρσις ἥξει χρυσίον Μωφαζ καὶ χεὶρ χρυσοχόων ἔργα τεχνιτῶν πάντα ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐνδύσουσιν αὐτά
Beaten silver, it is; they will not go, silver spread out from Tarshish; gold from Uphaz will come, and the hand of goldsmiths, works of craftsmen, all of them. They will clothe them with blue and purple.
ἐρεῖτε αὐτοῖς θεοί οἳ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐποίησαν ἀπολέσθωσαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τούτου
Thus shall you say to them: The gods who did not make the heaven and the earth, let them perish from the earth and from under this heaven.
ὁ ποιήσας τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ ὁ ἀνορθώσας τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ ἐξέτεινεν τὸν οὐρανὸν
The Lord, who made the earth by his strength, who established the inhabited world by his wisdom and by his understanding, stretched out the heaven
πλῆθος ὕδατος ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐξήγαγεν φῶς ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ
and abundance of water in the sky, and he brought up clouds from the end of the earth; he made lightnings into rain, and brought out light from his treasuries
πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ γνώσεως κατῃσχύνθη πᾶς χρυσοχόος ἐπὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐχώνευσαν οὐκ ἔστιν πνεῦμα ἐν αὐτοῖς
Every man was made foolish by knowledge; every goldsmith was put to shame because of his carved images, for they have melted false things; there is no spirit in them.
They are vain, works made mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Not such a portion is for Jacob, for the one who formed all things, he himself is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.
Gather up your goods from outside, you who dwell in the choice places
τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ σκελίζω τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἐν θλίψει ὅπως εὑρεθῇ ἡ πληγή σου
For thus says the Lord: behold, I am hurling out the inhabitants of this land in distress, so that your wound may be found.
Woe upon your breaking; painful is your wound. And I said, Truly this is my wound, and it has overtaken me.
σκηνή μου ἐταλαιπώρησεν ὤλετο καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ δέρρεις μου διεσπάσθησαν οἱ υἱοί μου καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὔκ εἰσιν οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι τόπος τῆς σκηνῆς μου τόπος τῶν δέρρεών μου
My tent has been wretched; it has perished, and all my curtains have been torn apart; my sons and my sheep are no more. There is no longer a place for my tent, a place for my curtains.
οἱ ποιμένες ἠφρονεύσαντο καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐνόησεν πᾶσα ἡ νομὴ καὶ διεσκορπίσθησαν
For the shepherds have become foolish, and they did not seek the Lord; therefore all the flock did not understand, and they were scattered.
ἀκοῆς ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται καὶ σεισμὸς μέγας ἐκ γῆς βορρᾶ τοῦ τάξαι τὰς πόλεις Ιουδα εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ κοίτην στρουθῶν
A sound of hearing, behold, it is coming, and a great shaking from the land of the north, to make the cities of Judah into desolation and a resting place of sparrows.
I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his own, nor will a man go and direct his path.
Correct us, Lord, only in judgment and not in anger, lest you make us few.
τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ εἰδότα σε καὶ ἐπὶ γενεὰς αἳ τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὅτι κατέφαγον τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ ἐξανήλωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ ἠρήμωσαν
Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the generations that have not called on your name, because they have eaten up Jacob and have consumed him, and have laid waste his pasture.
