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.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
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.
