| This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die. | ΑΥΤΗ ἡ βίβλος τῶν προσταγμάτων τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ὁ νόμος ὁ ὑπάρχων εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· πάντες οἱ κρατοῦντες αὐτὴν εἰς ζωήν, οἱ δὲ καταλείποντες αὐτὴν ἀποθανοῦνται. — |

| Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk in the presence of the light thereof, that thou mayest be illuminated. | ᾿Επιστρέφου, ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ ἐπιλαβοῦ αὐτῆς, διόδευσον πρὸς τὴν λάμψιν κατέναντι τοῦ φωτὸς αὐτῆς. |

|
| Give not thine honour to another, nor the things that are profitable unto thee to a strange nation. | μὴ δῷς ἑτέρῳ τὴν δόξαν σου καὶ τὰ συμφέροντά σοι ἔθνει ἀλλοτρίῳ. |

| O Israel, happy are we: for things that are pleasing to God are made known unto us. | μακάριοί ἐσμεν ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι τὰ ἀρεστὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῖν γνωστά ἐστι. — |

|
| Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel. | Θαρσεῖτε λαός μου, μνημόσυνον ᾿Ισραήλ. |

|
| Ye were sold to the nations, not for your destruction: but because ye moved God to wrath, ye were delivered unto the enemies. | ἐπράθητε τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὐκ εἰς ἀπώλειαν, διὰ δὲ τὸ παροργίσαι ὑμᾶς τὸν Θεὸν παρεδόθητε τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις· |
|
7
|
7
|
| For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto devils and not to God. | παρωξύνατε γὰρ τὸν ποιήσαντα ὑμᾶς θύσαντες δαιμονίοις καὶ οὐ Θεῷ. |
|

|

|
| Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you. | ἐπελάθεσθε τὸν τροφεύσαντα ὑμᾶς Θεὸν αἰώνιον, ἐλυπήσατε δὲ καὶ τὴν ἐκθρέψασαν ὑμᾶς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· |
|

|
| For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O ye that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning; | εἶδε γὰρ τὴν ἐπελθοῦσαν ὑμῖν ὀργὴν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατε, οἱ πάροικοι Σιών, ἐπήγαγέ μοι ὁ Θεὸς πένθος μέγα· |
|
10
|
10
|
| for I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them. | εἶδον γὰρ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν υἱῶν μου καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου, ἣν ἐπήγαγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ αἰώνιος. |
|
11
|
11
|
| With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning. | ἔθρεψα γὰρ αὐτοὺς μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης, ἐξαπέστειλα δὲ μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ πένθους. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God. | μηδεὶς ἐπιχαιρέτω μοι τῇ χήρᾳ καὶ καταλειφθείσῃ ὑπὸ πολλῶν· ἠρημώθην διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν τέκνων μου, διότι ἐξέκλιναν ἐκ νόμου Θεοῦ, |
|
13
|
13
|
| They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness. | δικαιώματα δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοῖς ἐντολῶν Θεοῦ, οὐδὲ τρίβους παιδείας ἐν δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ ἐπέβησαν. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them. | ἐλθέτωσαν αἱ πάροικοι Σιών, καὶ μνήσθητε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν υἱῶν μου καὶ θυγατέρων, ἣν ἐπήγαγεν αὐτοῖς ὁ αἰώνιος· |
|
15
|
15
|
| For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child, | ἐπήγαγε γὰρ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἔθνος μακρόθεν, ἔθνος ἀναιδὲς καὶ ἀλλόγλωσσον, οἳ οὐκ ᾐσχύνθησαν πρεσβύτην οὐδὲ παιδίον ἠλέησαν |
|
16
|
16
|
| and they have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters. | καὶ ἀπήγαγον τοὺς ἀγαπητοὺς τῆς χήρας καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τὴν μόνην ἠρήμωσαν. |
|
17
|
17
|
| But what can I help you? | ἐγὼ δὲ τί δυνατὴ βοηθῆσαι ὑμῖν; |
|
18
|
18
|
| For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies. | ὁ γὰρ ἐπαγαγὼν τὰ κακὰ ὑμῖν ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Go your way, O my children, go your way: for I am left desolate. | βαδίζετε, τέκνα, βαδίζετε, ἐγὼ γὰρ κατελήφθην ἔρημος· |
|
20
|
20
|
| I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days. | ἐξεδυσάμην τὴν στολὴν τῆς εἰρήνης, ἐνεδυσάμην δὲ σάκκον τῆς δεήσεώς μου, κεκράξομαι πρὸς τὸν αἰώνιον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου. — |
|
21
|
21
|
| Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, and he shall deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies. | Θαρρεῖτε, τέκνα, βοήσατε πρὸς τὸ Θεόν, καὶ ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ δυναστείας, ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν. |
|
22
|
22
|
| For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you: and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting your Saviour. | ἐγὼ γὰρ ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τῷ αἰωνίῳ τὴν σωτηρίαν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἦλθέ μοι χαρὰ παρὰ τοῦ ἁγίου ἐπὶ τῇ ἐλεημοσύνῃ, ἣ ἥξει ὑμῖν ἐν τάχει παρὰ τοῦ αἰωνίου σωτῆρος ὑμῶν. |
|
23
|
23
|
| For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever. | ἐξέπεμψα γὰρ ὑμᾶς μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ πένθους, ἀποδώσει δέ μοι ὁ Θεὸς ὑμᾶς μετὰ χαρμοσύνης καὶ εὐφροσύνης εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from your God, which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting. | ὥσπερ γὰρ νῦν ἑωράκασιν αἱ πάροικοι Σιὼν τὴν ὑμετέραν αἰχμαλωσίαν, οὕτως ὄψονται ἐν τάχει τὴν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν σωτηρίαν, ἣ ἐπελεύσεται ὑμῖν μετὰ δόξης μεγάλης καὶ λαμπρότητος τοῦ αἰωνίου. |
|
25
|
25
|
| My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you from God: for thine enemy hath persecuted thee; but shortly thou shalt see his destruction, and shalt tread upon his neck. | τέκνα, μακροθυμήσατε τὴν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπελθοῦσαν ὑμῖν ὀργήν· κατεδίωξέ σε ὁ ἐχθρός σου, καὶ ὄψει αὐτοῦ τὴν ἀπώλειαν ἐν τάχει καὶ ἐπὶ τραχήλους αὐτῶν ἐπιβήσῃ. |
|
26
|
26
|
| My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were taken away as a flock caught of the enemies. | οἱ τρυφεροί μου ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς τραχείας, ἤρθησαν ὡς ποίμνιον ἡρπασμένον ὑπὸ ἐχθρῶν. — |
|
27
|
27
|
| Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you. | Θαρσήσατε τέκνα καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, ἔσται γὰρ ὑμῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἐπάγοντος μνεία. |
|
28
|
28
|
| For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, being returned, seek him ten times more. | ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐγένετο ἡ διάνοια ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ πλανηθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, δεκαπλασιάσατε ἐπιστραφέντες ζητῆσαι αὐτόν. |
|
29
|
29
|
| For he that hath brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation. | ὁ γὰρ ἐπαγαγὼν ὑμῖν τὰ κακὰ ἐπάξει ὑμῖν τὴν αἰώνιον εὐφροσύνην μετὰ τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν. — |
|
30
|
30
|
| Take a good heart, O Jerusalem: for he that gave thee that name will comfort thee. | Θάρσει ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, παρακαλέσει σε ὁ ὀνομάσας σε. |
|
31
|
31
|
| Miserable are they that afflicted thee, and rejoiced at thy fall. | δείλαιοι οἱ σὲ κακώσαντες καὶ ἐπιχαρέντες τῇ σῇ πτώσει, |
|
32
|
32
|
| Miserable are the cities which thy children served: miserable is she that received thy sons. | δείλαιαι αἱ πόλεις, αἷς ἐδούλευσαν τὰ τέκνα σου, δειλαία ἡ δεξαμένη τοὺς υἱούς σου. |
|
33
|
33
|
| For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation. | ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐχάρη ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ πτώσει καὶ εὐφράνθη ἐπὶ τῷ πτώματί σου, οὕτως λυπηθήσεται ἐπὶ τῇ ἑαυτῆς ἐρημίᾳ. |
|
34
|
34
|
| For I will take away the rejoicing of her great multitude, and her pride shall be turned into mourning. | καὶ περιελῶ αὐτῆς τὸ ἀγαλλίαμα τῆς πολυοχλίας καὶ τὸ ἀγαυρίαμα αὐτῆς ἔσται εἰς πένθος. |
|
35
|
35
|
| For fire shall come upon her from the Everlasting, long to endure; and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time. | πῦρ γὰρ ἐπελεύσεται αὐτῇ παρὰ τοῦ αἰωνίου εἰς ἡμέρας μακράς, καὶ κατοικηθήσεται ὑπὸ δαιμονίων τὸν πλείονα χρόνον. — |
|
36
|
36
|
| O Jerusalem, look about thee toward the east, and behold the joy that cometh unto thee from God. | Περίβλεψον πρὸς ἀνατολάς, ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἴδε τὴν εὐφροσύνην τὴν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ σοι ἐρχομένην. |
|
37
|
37
|
| Lo, thy sons come, whom thou sentest away, they come gathered together from the east to the west by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God. | ἰδοὺ ἔρχονται οἱ υἱοί σου, οὓς ἐξαπέστειλας, ἔρχονται συνηγμένοι ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν τῷ ρήματι τοῦ ἁγίου χαίροντες τῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ δόξῃ. |
