1 Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
Ακούσατε-τὸν-λόγον-κυρίου-τοῦτον-,-ὸν-εγὼ-λαμβάνω-εφ᾿-υμᾶς-θρῆνον-,-οῖκος-Ισραηλ-
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen; She will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; There is no one to raise her up.
Έπεσεν-ουκέτι-μὴ-προσθῆ-τοῦ-αναστῆναι-παρθένος-τοῦ-Ισραηλ-·-έσφαλεν-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-αυτῆς-,-ουκ-έστιν-ο-αναστήσων-αυτήν-.-
3 For thus says the Lord GOD: “The city that goes out by a thousand Shall have a hundred left, And that which goes out by a hundred Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
διότι-τάδε-λέγει-κύριος-κύριος-Η-πόλις-,-εξ-ῆς-εξεπορεύοντο-χίλιοι-,-υπολειφθήσονται-εκατόν-,-καὶ-εξ-ῆς-εξεπορεύοντο-εκατόν-,-υπολειφθήσονται-δέκα-τῶ-οίκω-Ισραηλ-.-
4 For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;
διότι-τάδε-λέγει-κύριος-πρὸς-τὸν-οῖκον-Ισραηλ-Εκζητήσατέ-με-καὶ-ζήσεσθε-·-
5 But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.
καὶ-μὴ-εκζητεῖτε-Βαιθηλ-καὶ-εις-Γαλγαλα-μὴ-εισπορεύεσθε-καὶ-επὶ-τὸ-φρέαρ-τοῦ-όρκου-μὴ-διαβαίνετε-,-ότι-Γαλγαλα-αιχμαλωτευομένη-αιχμαλωτευθήσεται-,-καὶ-Βαιθηλ-έσται-ως-ουχ-υπάρχουσα-·-
6 Seek the LORD and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel—
εκζητήσατε-τὸν-κύριον-καὶ-ζήσατε-,-όπως-μὴ-αναλάμψη-ως-πῦρ-ο-οῖκος-Ιωσηφ-,-καὶ-καταφάγεται-αυτόν-,-καὶ-ουκ-έσται-ο-σβέσων-τῶ-οίκω-Ισραηλ-.-
7 You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”
κύριος-ο-ποιῶν-εις-ύψος-κρίμα-καὶ-δικαιοσύνην-εις-γῆν-έθηκεν-,-
8 He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.
ποιῶν-πάντα-καὶ-μετασκευάζων-καὶ-εκτρέπων-εις-τὸ-πρωὶ-σκιὰν-θανάτου-καὶ-ημέραν-εις-νύκτα-συσκοτάζων-,-ο-προσκαλούμενος-τὸ-ύδωρ-τῆς-θαλάσσης-καὶ-εκχέων-αυτὸ-επὶ-προσώπου-τῆς-γῆς-,-κύριος-ο-θεὸς-ο-παντοκράτωρ-όνομα-αυτῶ-·-
9 He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.
ο-διαιρῶν-συντριμμὸν-επ᾿-ισχὺν-καὶ-ταλαιπωρίαν-επὶ-οχύρωμα-επάγων-.-
10 They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
εμίσησαν-εν-πύλαις-ελέγχοντα-καὶ-λόγον-όσιον-εβδελύξαντο-.-
11 Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them.
διὰ-τοῦτο-ανθ᾿-ῶν-κατεκονδυλίζετε-πτωχοὺς-καὶ-δῶρα-εκλεκτὰ-εδέξασθε-παρ᾿-αυτῶν-,-οίκους-ξυστοὺς-ωκοδομήσατε-καὶ-ου-μὴ-κατοικήσητε-εν-αυτοῖς-,-αμπελῶνας-επιθυμητοὺς-εφυτεύσατε-καὶ-ου-μὴ-πίητε-τὸν-οῖνον-εξ-αυτῶν-.-
12 For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins: Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
ότι-έγνων-πολλὰς-ασεβείας-υμῶν-,-καὶ-ισχυραὶ-αι-αμαρτίαι-υμῶν-,-καταπατοῦντες-δίκαιον-,-λαμβάνοντες-αλλάγματα-καὶ-πένητας-εν-πύλαις-εκκλίνοντες-.-
13 Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.
διὰ-τοῦτο-ο-συνίων-εν-τῶ-καιρῶ-εκείνω-σιωπήσεται-,-ότι-καιρὸς-πονηρός-εστιν-.-
14 Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
εκζητήσατε-τὸ-καλὸν-καὶ-μὴ-τὸ-πονηρόν-,-όπως-ζήσητε-·-καὶ-έσται-ούτως-μεθ᾿-υμῶν-κύριος-ο-θεὸς-ο-παντοκράτωρ-,-ὸν-τρόπον-είπατε-
15 Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the LORD God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Μεμισήκαμεν-τὰ-πονηρὰ-καὶ-ηγαπήκαμεν-τὰ-καλά-·-καὶ-αποκαταστήσατε-εν-πύλαις-κρίμα-,-όπως-ελεήση-κύριος-ο-θεὸς-ο-παντοκράτωρ-τοὺς-περιλοίπους-τοῦ-Ιωσηφ-.-
16 Therefore the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this: “There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.
διὰ-τοῦτο-τάδε-λέγει-κύριος-ο-θεὸς-ο-παντοκράτωρ-Εν-πάσαις-πλατείαις-κοπετός-,-καὶ-εν-πάσαις-οδοῖς-ρηθήσεται-Ουαὶ-ουαί-·-κληθήσεται-γεωργὸς-εις-πένθος-καὶ-κοπετὸν-καὶ-εις-ειδότας-θρῆνον-,-
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you,” Says the LORD.
καὶ-εν-πάσαις-οδοῖς-κοπετός-,-διότι-διελεύσομαι-διὰ-μέσου-σου-,-εῖπεν-κύριος-.-
18 Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light.
Ουαὶ-οι-επιθυμοῦντες-τὴν-ημέραν-κυρίου-·-ίνα-τί-αύτη-υμῖν-η-ημέρα-τοῦ-κυρίου-;-καὶ-αυτή-εστιν-σκότος-καὶ-ου-φῶς-,-
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!
ὸν-τρόπον-όταν-φύγη-άνθρωπος-εκ-προσώπου-τοῦ-λέοντος-καὶ-εμπέση-αυτῶ-η-άρκος-,-καὶ-εισπηδήση-εις-τὸν-οῖκον-αυτοῦ-καὶ-απερείσηται-τὰς-χεῖρας-αυτοῦ-επὶ-τὸν-τοῖχον-καὶ-δάκη-αυτὸν-ο-όφις-.-
20 Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
ουχὶ-σκότος-η-ημέρα-τοῦ-κυρίου-καὶ-ου-φῶς-;-καὶ-γνόφος-ουκ-έχων-φέγγος-αυτῆ-.-
21 “I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
μεμίσηκα-απῶσμαι-εορτὰς-υμῶν-καὶ-ου-μὴ-οσφρανθῶ-εν-ταῖς-πανηγύρεσιν-υμῶν-·-
22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
διότι-καὶ-εὰν-ενέγκητέ-μοι-ολοκαυτώματα-καὶ-θυσίας-υμῶν-,-ου-προσδέξομαι-αυτά-,-καὶ-σωτηρίου-επιφανείας-υμῶν-ουκ-επιβλέψομαι-.-
23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
μετάστησον-απ᾿-εμοῦ-ῆχον-ωδῶν-σου-,-καὶ-ψαλμὸν-οργάνων-σου-ουκ-ακούσομαι-·-
24 But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.
καὶ-κυλισθήσεται-ως-ύδωρ-κρίμα-καὶ-δικαιοσύνη-ως-χειμάρρους-άβατος-.-
25 “Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
μὴ-σφάγια-καὶ-θυσίας-προσηνέγκατέ-μοι-εν-τῆ-ερήμω-τεσσαράκοντα-έτη-,-οῖκος-Ισραηλ-;-
26 You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.
καὶ-ανελάβετε-τὴν-σκηνὴν-τοῦ-Μολοχ-καὶ-τὸ-άστρον-τοῦ-θεοῦ-υμῶν-Ραιφαν-,-τοὺς-τύπους-αυτῶν-,-οὺς-εποιήσατε-εαυτοῖς-.-
27 Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,” Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
καὶ-μετοικιῶ-υμᾶς-επέκεινα-Δαμασκοῦ-,-λέγει-κύριος-,-ο-θεὸς-ο-παντοκράτωρ-όνομα-αυτῶ-.-
