Thus says the Lord, who makes the earth and forms it to establish it; the Lord is his name.
Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things that you have not known them.
οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ περὶ οἴκων τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ περὶ οἴκων βασιλέως Ιουδα τῶν καθῃρημένων εἰς χάρακας καὶ προμαχῶνας
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the king of Judah that are torn down into palisades and ramparts
μάχεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ πληρῶσαι αὐτὴν τῶν νεκρῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων οὓς ἐπάταξα ἐν ὀργῇ μου καὶ ἐν θυμῷ μου καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν περὶ πασῶν τῶν πονηριῶν αὐτῶν
for fighting against the Chaldeans and to fill it with the dead of the men whom I struck in my anger and in my wrath, and I turned away my face from them because of all their wickednesses
ἐγὼ ἀνάγω αὐτῇ συνούλωσιν καὶ ἴαμα καὶ φανερώσω αὐτοῖς εἰσακούειν καὶ ἰατρεύσω αὐτὴν καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς εἰρήνην καὶ πίστιν
Behold, I will bring upon it a cure and healing, and I will reveal to them to hear, and I will heal it and I will make peace and faith for them
And I will restore the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them as formerly
καθαριῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἡμάρτοσάν μοι καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἥμαρτόν μοι καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ
and I will cleanse them from all their iniquities by which they sinned against me, and I will by no means remember their sins by which they sinned against me, and they turned away from me
ἔσται εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ εἰς αἴνεσιν καὶ εἰς μεγαλειότητα παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς οἵτινες ἀκούσονται πάντα τὰ ἀγαθά ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ πικρανθήσονται περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ περὶ πάσης τῆς εἰρήνης ἧς ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς
And it will be for joy and for praise and for greatness to all the people of the land who will hear all the good things that I will do, and they will fear and be embittered concerning all the good things and concerning all the peace that I will do for them.
εἶπεν κύριος ἔτι ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ᾧ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ἔρημός ἐστιν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτηνῶν ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ιερουσαλημ ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη
Thus says the Lord: There shall yet be heard in this place, which you say is desolate, without man and without beast, in the cities of Judah and outside Jerusalem, the ones laid waste, because there is no man and beast.
εὐφροσύνης καὶ φωνὴ χαρμοσύνης φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴ νύμφης φωνὴ λεγόντων ἐξομολογεῖσθε κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι ὅτι χρηστὸς κύριος ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσοίσουσιν δῶρα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ὅτι ἀποστρέψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης κατὰ τὸ πρότερον εἶπεν κύριος
the voice of gladness and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is forever, and they shall bring in gifts to the house of the Lord, for I will restore all the captivity of that land as before, says the Lord
εἶπεν κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ἔτι ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ τῷ ἐρήμῳ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταλύματα ποιμένων κοιταζόντων πρόβατα
Thus said the Lord of hosts: Yet there shall be in this place, in this desolate place, because there is no man and beast, and in all its cities, resting places of shepherds lying down with sheep.
πόλεσιν τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Σεφηλα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Ναγεβ καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κύκλῳ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα ἔτι παρελεύσεται πρόβατα ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀριθμοῦντος εἶπεν κύριος
in the cities of the hill country and in the cities of the Shephelah and in the cities of the Negeb and in the land of Benjamin and in the places around Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, sheep will still pass under the hand of one who counts, says the Lord
