Thus says the Lord God of Israel, saying: Write all the words which I spoke to you on a scroll
ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται φησὶν κύριος καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα εἶπεν κύριος καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῆς
For behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
And these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
Thus says the Lord: a voice of fear you shall hear; there is fear and there is no peace.
καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν καὶ περὶ φόβου ἐν ᾧ καθέξουσιν ὀσφὺν καὶ σωτηρίαν διότι ἑώρακα πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ ἐστράφησαν πρόσωπα εἰς ἴκτερον
Ask and see whether a male has borne, and concerning fear, in which they will hold the loin and salvation, because I have seen every man, and his hands have been turned upon his loin, faces into pallor.
ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν τοιαύτη καὶ χρόνος στενός ἐστιν τῷ Ιακωβ καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου σωθήσεται
And it shall be that that day is great, and there is none like it, and the time of distress is for Jacob; and from this he shall be saved
τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἶπεν κύριος συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διαρρήξω καὶ οὐκ ἐργῶνται αὐτοὶ ἔτι ἀλλοτρίοις
In that day the Lord said, I will break the yoke from their neck and I will tear apart their bonds, and they themselves shall no longer serve strangers.
and they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king I will raise up for them
Thus said the Lord: I have raised up a grievous wound, your affliction.
There is no one judging your case; for a painful thing you have been treated, there is no benefit for you.
οἱ φίλοι σου ἐπελάθοντό σου οὐ μὴ ἐπερωτήσουσιν ὅτι πληγὴν ἐχθροῦ ἔπαισά σε παιδείαν στερεάν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἀδικίαν σου ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου
All your friends have forgotten you; they shall certainly not ask about you, because I have struck you with the wound of an enemy, with harsh discipline; because of all your injustice your sins have multiplied.
τοῦτο πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντές σε βρωθήσονται καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κρέας αὐτῶν πᾶν ἔδονται ἐπὶ πλῆθος ἀδικιῶν σου ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου ἐποίησαν ταῦτά σοι καὶ ἔσονται οἱ διαφοροῦντές σε εἰς διαφόρημα καὶ πάντας τοὺς προνομεύοντάς σε δώσω εἰς προνομήν
Therefore all who devour you shall be eaten, and all your enemies shall eat each one his flesh; because of the multitude of your injustices your sins have been multiplied, they have done these things to you; and those who plunder you shall become plunder, and all who prey upon you I will give for prey
ἀνάξω τὸ ἴαμά σου ἀπὸ πληγῆς ὀδυνηρᾶς ἰατρεύσω σε φησὶν κύριος ὅτι ἐσπαρμένη ἐκλήθης θήρευμα ὑμῶν ἐστιν ὅτι ζητῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτήν
For I will bring up your healing from a painful wound; I will heal you, says the Lord, because you were called a scattered one, it is your prey, because there is no one seeking her.
εἶπεν κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ιακωβ καὶ αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ ἐλεήσω καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ ναὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ καθεδεῖται
Thus said the Lord: behold, I will turn back the captivity of Jacob, and I will have mercy on his captivity, and the city will be built upon its height, and the temple according to its judgment shall be set in place.
And out of them shall come forth singing, and the voice of those playing, and I will multiply them, and they shall surely not be diminished
εἰσελεύσονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ὡς τὸ πρότερον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ὀρθωθήσεται καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτούς
and their sons shall enter in as before, and their testimonies before my face shall be established, and I will visit those who afflict them
ἔσονται ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς καὶ ὁ ἄρχων αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ συνάξω αὐτούς καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν πρός με ὅτι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὃς ἔδωκεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψαι πρός με φησὶν κύριος
And they will be stronger than him against them, and his ruler will go out from him, and I will gather them, and they will turn back to me, because who is this who has given his heart to turn back to me, says the Lord.
For the anger of the Lord has gone out, a furious anger has gone out, an anger turning upon the ungodly it will come.
μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ κυρίου ἕως ποιήσῃ καὶ ἕως καταστήσῃ ἐγχείρημα καρδίας αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν γνώσεσθε αὐτά
The anger of the Lord’s wrath shall by no means turn back until he does and until he establishes the undertaking of his heart; in the latter days you shall know them.
