Delphi Septuagint, page 1158
[7] κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν οὕτως ἥμαρτόν μοι· τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀτιμίαν θήσομαι.
[7] According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.
[8] ἁμαρτίας λαοῦ μου φάγονται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν λήμψονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν.
[8] They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.
[9] καὶ ἔσται καθὼς ὁ λαὸς οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ διαβούλια αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ.
[9] And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.
[10] καὶ φάγονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσιν, ἐπόρνευσαν καὶ οὐ μὴ κατευθύνωσιν, διότι τὸν κύριον ἐγκατέλιπον τοῦ φυλάξαι.
[10] And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
[11] Πορνείαν καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα ἐδέξατο καρδία λαοῦ μου.
[11] The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.
[12] ἐν συμβόλοις ἐπηρώτων, καὶ ἐν ῥάβδοις αὐτοῦ ἀπήγγελλον αὐτῷ· πνεύματι πορνείας ἐπλανήθησαν καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν.
[12] They asked counsel by means of signs, and they reported answer to them by their staves: they have gone astray in a spirit of whoredom, and gone grievously a-whoring from their God.
[13] ἐπὶ τὰς κορυφὰς τῶν ὀρέων ἐθυσίαζον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνοὺς ἔθυον, ὑποκάτω δρυὸς καὶ λεύκης καὶ δένδρου συσκιάζοντος, ὅτι καλὸν σκέπη. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκπορνεύσουσιν αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, καὶ αἱ νύμφαι ὑμῶν μοιχεύσουσιν·
[13] They have sacrificed on the tops of the mountains, and on the hills they have sacrificed under the oak and poplar, and under the shady tree, because the shade was good: therefore your daughters shall go a-whoring, and your daughters-in-law shall commit adultery.
[14] καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψωμαι ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν, ὅταν πορνεύωσιν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς νύμφας ὑμῶν, ὅταν μοιχεύωσιν, διότι καὶ αὐτοὶ μετὰ τῶν πορνῶν συνεφύροντο καὶ μετὰ τῶν τετελεσμένων ἔθυον, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ συνίων συνεπλέκετο μετὰ πόρνης.
[14] And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery: for they themselves mingled themselves with harlots, and sacrificed with polluted ones, and the people that understood not entangled itself with a harlot.
[15] Σὺ δέ, Ισραηλ, μὴ ἀγνόει, καὶ Ιουδα, μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ μὴ ἀναβαίνετε εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ων καὶ μὴ ὀμνύετε ζῶντα κύριον.
[15] But thou, O Israel, be not ignorant, and go ye not, men of Juda, to Galgala; and go not up to the house of On, and swear not by the living Lord.
[16] ὅτι ὡς δάμαλις παροιστρῶσα παροίστρησεν Ισραηλ· νῦν νεμήσει αὐτοὺς κύριος ὡς ἀμνὸν ἐν εὐρυχώρῳ.
[16] For Israel was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wide place.
[17] μέτοχος εἰδώλων Εφραιμ ἔθηκεν ἑαυτῷ σκάνδαλα.
[17] Ephraim, joined with idols, has laid stumbling-blocks in his own way.
[18] ᾑρέτισεν Χαναναίους· πορνεύοντες ἐξεπόρνευσαν, ἠγάπησαν ἀτιμίαν ἐκ φρυάγματος αὐτῶν.
[18] He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonour through her insolence.
[19] συστροφὴ πνεύματος σὺ εἶ ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῆς, καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐκ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτῶν.
[19] Thou art a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
CHAPTER 5
[1] Ἀκούσατε ταῦτα, οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ προσέχετε, οἶκος Ισραηλ, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ βασιλέως, ἐνωτίζεσθε, διότι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐστιν τὸ κρίμα, ὅτι παγὶς ἐγενήθητε τῇ σκοπιᾷ καὶ ὡς δίκτυον ἐκτεταμένον ἐπὶ τὸ Ἰταβύριον,
[1] Hear these things, ye priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and hearken, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because ye have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
[2] ὃ οἱ ἀγρεύοντες τὴν θήραν κατέπηξαν. ἐγὼ δὲ παιδευτὴς ὑμῶν·
[2] which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
[3] ἐγὼ ἔγνων τὸν Εφραιμ, καὶ Ισραηλ οὐκ ἄπεστιν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, διότι νῦν ἐξεπόρνευσεν Εφραιμ, ἐμιάνθη Ισραηλ·
[3] I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
[4] οὐκ ἔδωκαν τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν, ὅτι πνεῦμα πορνείας ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐστιν, τὸν δὲ κύριον οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν.
[4] They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
[5] καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἡ ὕβρις τοῦ Ισραηλ εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ισραηλ καὶ Εφραιμ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ Ιουδας μετ’ αὐτῶν.
[5] And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
[6] μετὰ προβάτων καὶ μόσχων πορεύσονται τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕρωσιν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν,
[6] They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
[7] ὅτι τὸν κύριον ἐγκατέλιπον, ὅτι τέκνα ἀλλότρια ἐγεννήθησαν αὐτοῖς· νῦν καταφάγεται αὐτοὺς ἡ ἐρυσίβη καὶ τοὺς κλήρους αὐτῶν.
[7] For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
[8] Σαλπίσατε σάλπιγγι ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνούς, ἠχήσατε ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, κηρύξατε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ων· ἐξέστη Βενιαμιν,
[8] Blow ye the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
[9] Εφραιμ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἐγένετο ἐν ἡμέραις ἐλέγχου· ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ισραηλ ἔδειξα πιστά.
[9] Ephraim has come to nought in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful dealings.
[10] ἐγένοντο οἱ ἄρχοντες Ιουδα ὡς μετατιθέντες ὅρια, ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἐκχεῶ ὡς ὕδωρ τὸ ὅρμημά μου.
[10] The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
[11] κατεδυνάστευσεν Εφραιμ τὸν ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ, κατεπάτησεν κρίμα, ὅτι ἤρξατο πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων.
[11] Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
[12] καὶ ἐγὼ ὡς ταραχὴ τῷ Εφραιμ καὶ ὡς κέντρον τῷ οἴκῳ Ιουδα.
[12] Therefore I will be as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
[13] καὶ εἶδεν Εφραιμ τὴν νόσον αὐτοῦ καὶ Ιουδας τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Εφραιμ πρὸς Ασσυρίους καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρέσβεις πρὸς βασιλέα Ιαριμ· καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη ἰάσασθαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαπαύσῃ ἐξ ὑμῶν ὀδύνη.
[13] And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
[14] διότι ἐγώ εἰμι ὡς πανθὴρ τῷ Εφραιμ καὶ ὡς λέων τῷ οἴκῳ Ιουδα· καὶ ἐγὼ ἁρπῶμαι καὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ λήμψομαι, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος.
[14] Wherefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
[15] πορεύσομαι καὶ ἐπιστρέψω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου, ἕως οὗ ἀφανισθῶσιν· καὶ ἐπιζητήσουσιν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου, ἐν θλίψει αὐτῶν ὀρθριοῦσι πρός με λέγοντες
[15] I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nought, and then shall they seek my face.
CHAPTER 6
[1] Πορευθῶμεν καὶ ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἥρπακεν καὶ ἰάσεται ἡμᾶς, πατάξει καὶ μοτώσει ἡμᾶς·
[1] In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.
[2] ὑγιάσει ἡμᾶς μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστησόμεθα καὶ ζησόμεθα ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ·
[3] After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know him:
[3] καὶ γνωσόμεθα διώξομεν τοῦ γνῶναι τὸν κύριον, ὡς ὄρθρον ἕτοιμον εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἥξει ὡς ὑετὸς ἡμῖν πρόιμος καὶ ὄψιμος τῇ γῇ. –
[4] let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
[4] τί σοι ποιήσω, Εφραιμ; τί σοι ποιήσω, Ιουδα; τὸ δὲ ἔλεος ὑμῶν ὡς νεφέλη πρωινὴ καὶ ὡς δρόσος ὀρθρινὴ πορευομένη.
[5] What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
[5] Διὰ τοῦτο ἀπεθέρισα τοὺς προφήτας ὑμῶν, ἀπέκτεινα αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν στόματός μου, καὶ τὸ κρίμα μου ὡς φῶς ἐξελεύσεται.
[6] Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
[6] διότι ἔλεος θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν θεοῦ ἢ ὁλοκαυτώματα.
[7] For I will have mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
[7] αὐτοὶ δέ εἰσιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων διαθήκην· ἐκεῖ κατεφρόνησέν μου.
[8] But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
[8] Γαλααδ πόλις ἐργαζομένη μάταια ταράσσουσα ὕδωρ,
[9] there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
[9] καὶ ἡ ἰσχύς σου ἀνδρὸς πειρατοῦ· ἔκρυψαν ἱερεῖς ὁδὸν κυρίου, ἐφόνευσαν Σικιμα, ὅτι ἀνομίαν ἐποίησαν.
[10] And thy strength is that of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered the people of Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
[10] ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ εἶδον φρικώδη, ἐκεῖ πορνείαν τοῦ Εφραιμ· ἐμιάνθη Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα.
[11] I have seen horrible things there, even the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
[11] Ἄρχου τρυγᾶν σεαυτῷ ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν με τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ λαοῦ μου,
[12] begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
CHAPTER 7
[1] ἐν τῷ ἰάσασθαί με τὸν Ισραηλ. καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ ἀδικία Εφραιμ καὶ ἡ κακία Σαμαρείας, ὅτι ἠργάσαντο ψευδῆ· καὶ κλέπτης πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσελεύσεται, ἐκδιδύσκων λῃστὴς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ,
[1] When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, even a robber spoiling in his way;
[2] ὅπως συνᾴδωσιν ὡς συνᾴδοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν. πάσας τὰς κακίας αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθην· νῦν ἐκύκλωσεν αὐτοὺς τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν, ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐγένοντο.
[2] that they may concert together as men singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
[3] ἐν ταῖς κακίαις αὐτῶν εὔφραναν βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐν τοῖς ψεύδεσιν αὐτῶν ἄρχοντας·
[3] They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
[4] πάντες μοιχεύοντες, ὡς κλίβανος καιόμενος εἰς πέψιν κατακαύματος ἀπὸ τῆς φλογός, ἀπὸ φυράσεως στέατος ἕως τοῦ ζυμωθῆναι αὐτό.
[4] They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
[5] αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν βασιλέων ὑμῶν, ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄρχοντες θυμοῦσθαι ἐξ οἴνου, ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετὰ λοιμῶν·
[5] In the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
[6] διότι ἀνεκαύθησαν ὡς κλίβανος αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ καταράσσειν αὐτούς, ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ὕπνου Εφραιμ ἐνεπλήσθη, πρωῒ ἐγενήθη ἀνεκαύθη ὡς πυρὸς φέγγος.
[6] Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
[7] πάντες ἐθερμάνθησαν ὡς κλίβανος καὶ κατέφαγον τοὺς κριτὰς αὐτῶν· πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἔπεσαν, οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος ἐν αὐτοῖς πρός με.
[7] They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
[8] Εφραιμ ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς αὐτοῦ συνανεμείγνυτο, Εφραιμ ἐγένετο ἐγκρυφίας οὐ μεταστρεφόμενος.
[8] Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
[9] κατέφαγον ἀλλότριοι τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἐπέγνω· καὶ πολιαὶ ἐξήνθησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἔγνω.
[9] Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew it not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew it not.
[10] καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἡ ὕβρις Ισραηλ εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις.
[10] And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
[11] καὶ ἦν Εφραιμ ὡς περιστερὰ ἄνους οὐκ ἔχουσα καρδίαν· Αἴγυπτον ἐπεκαλεῖτο καὶ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἐπορεύθησαν.
[11] And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
[12] καθὼς ἂν πορεύωνται, ἐπιβαλῶ ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς τὸ δίκτυόν μου· καθὼς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατάξω αὐτούς, παιδεύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκοῇ τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῶν.
