  [25] φεύγετε λίαν, βαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν, καθήμενοι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, ὅτι ἐβουλεύσατο ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βουλὴν καὶ ἐλογίσατο ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς λογισμόν.

  [30] Flee ye, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, ye that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.

  [26] ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἀνάβηθι ἐπ’ ἔθνος εὐσταθοῦν καθήμενον εἰς ἀναψυχήν, οἷς οὔκ εἰσιν θύραι, οὐ βάλανοι, οὐ μοχλοί, μόνοι καταλύουσιν.

  [31] Rise up, and go up against a nation settled and dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, who dwell alone.

  [27] καὶ ἔσονται κάμηλοι αὐτῶν εἰς προνομὴν καὶ πλῆθος κτηνῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀπώλειαν· καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς παντὶ πνεύματι κεκαρμένους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ἐκ παντὸς πέραν αὐτῶν οἴσω τὴν τροπὴν αὐτῶν, εἶπεν κύριος.

  [32] And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, saith the Lord.

  [28] καὶ ἔσται ἡ αὐλὴ διατριβὴ στρουθῶν καὶ ἄβατος ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐ μὴ καθίσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσῃ ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

  [33] And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.

  [29] Τῇ Δαμασκῷ. Κατῃσχύνθη Ημαθ καὶ Αρφαδ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἀκοὴν πονηράν· ἐξέστησαν, ἐθυμώθησαν, ἀναπαύσασθαι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται.

  [23] CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.

  [30] ἐξελύθη Δαμασκός, ἀπεστράφη εἰς φυγήν, τρόμος ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς.

  [24] Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.

  [31] πῶς οὐχὶ ἐγκατέλιπεν πόλιν ἐμήν; κώμην ἠγάπησαν.

  [25] How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?

  [32] διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται νεανίσκοι ἐν πλατείαις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου πεσοῦνται, φησὶν κύριος·

  [26] Therefore shall the young men fall in thy streets, and all thy warriors shall fall, saith the Lord.

  [33] καὶ καύσω πῦρ ἐν τείχει Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἄμφοδα υἱοῦ Αδερ.

  [27] And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.

  CHAPTER 31

  [1] Τῇ Μωαβ. Οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος Οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαυ, ὅτι ὤλετο· ἐλήμφθη Καριαθαιμ, ᾐσχύνθη Αμαθ καὶ ἡττήθη.

  [1] Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.

  [2] οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωαβ, ἀγαυρίαμα ἐν Εσεβων· ἐλογίσαντο ἐπ’ αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται, ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα.

  [2] There is no longer any healing for Moab, nor glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from being a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword;

  [3] ὅτι φωνὴ κεκραγότων ἐξ Ωρωναιμ, ὄλεθρος καὶ σύντριμμα μέγα

  [3] for there is a voice of men crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.

  [4] Συνετρίβη Μωαβ, ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Ζογορα.

  [4] Moab is ruined, proclaim it to Zogora:

  [5] ὅτι ἐπλήσθη Αλαωθ ἐν κλαυθμῷ, ἀναβήσεται κλαίων ἐν ὁδῷ Ωρωναιμ, κραυγὴν συντρίμματος ἠκούσατε

  [5] for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction.

  [6] Φεύγετε καὶ σώσατε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσεσθε ὥσπερ ὄνος ἄγριος ἐν ἐρήμῳ.

  [6] Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert.

  [7] ἐπειδὴ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν ὀχυρώμασίν σου, καὶ σὺ συλλημφθήσῃ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Χαμως ἐν ἀποικίᾳ, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.

  [7] Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.

  [8] καὶ ἥξει ὄλεθρος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν, καὶ πόλις οὐ μὴ σωθῇ, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ αὐλών, καὶ ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ πεδινή, καθὼς εἶπεν κύριος.

  [8] And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.

  [9] δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωαβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἀναφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;

  [9] Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence shall there be an inhabitant for her?

  [10] ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ποιῶν τὰ ἔργα κυρίου ἀμελῶς ἐξαίρων μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ αἵματος.

  [10] Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.

  [11] ἀνεπαύσατο Μωαβ ἐκ παιδαρίου καὶ πεποιθὼς ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνέχεεν ἐξ ἀγγείου εἰς ἀγγεῖον καὶ εἰς ἀποικισμὸν οὐκ ᾤχετο· διὰ τοῦτο ἔστη γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὀσμὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν.

  [11] Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out his liquor from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.

  [12] διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶν κύριος, καὶ ἀποστελῶ αὐτῷ κλίνοντας, καὶ κλινοῦσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ λεπτυνοῦσιν καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ συγκόψουσιν.

  [12] Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.

  [13] καὶ καταισχυνθήσεται Μωαβ ἀπὸ Χαμως, ὥσπερ κατῃσχύνθη οἶκος Ισραηλ ἀπὸ Βαιθηλ ἐλπίδος αὐτῶν πεποιθότες ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς.

  [13] And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.

  [14] πῶς ἐρεῖτε Ἰσχυροί ἐσμεν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἰσχύων εἰς τὰ πολεμικά;

  [14
] How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war?

  [15] ὤλετο Μωαβ πόλις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ νεανίσκοι αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς σφαγήν·

  [15] Moab is ruined, even his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.

  [16] ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Μωαβ ἐλθεῖν, καὶ πονηρία αὐτοῦ ταχεῖα σφόδρα.

  [16] The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly to vengeance.

  [17] κινήσατε αὐτῷ, πάντες κυκλόθεν αὐτοῦ, πάντες εἰδότες ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε Πῶς συνετρίβη βακτηρία εὐκλεής, ῥάβδος μεγαλώματος;

  [17] Shake the head at him, all ye that are round about him; all of you utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!

  [18] κατάβηθι ἀπὸ δόξης καὶ κάθισον ἐν ὑγρασίᾳ, καθημένη Δαιβων· ἐκτρίβητε, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωαβ, ἀνέβη εἰς σὲ λυμαινόμενος ὀχύρωμά σου.

  [18] Come down from thy glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold.

  [19] ἐφ’ ὁδοῦ στῆθι καὶ ἔπιδε, καθημένη ἐν Αροηρ, καὶ ἐρώτησον φεύγοντα καὶ σῳζόμενον καὶ εἰπόν Τί ἐγένετο;

  [19] Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?

  [20] κατῃσχύνθη Μωαβ, ὅτι συνετρίβη· ὀλόλυξον καὶ κέκραξον, ἀνάγγειλον ἐν Αρνων ὅτι ὤλετο Μωαβ.

  [20] Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.

  [21] καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς γῆν τοῦ Μισωρ ἐπὶ Χαιλων καὶ ἐπὶ Ιασσα καὶ ἐπὶ Μωφαθ

  [21] And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,

  [22] καὶ ἐπὶ Δαιβων καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαυ καὶ ἐπ’ οἶκον Δεβλαθαιμ

  [22] and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,

  [23] καὶ ἐπὶ Καριαθαιμ καὶ ἐπ’ οἶκον Γαμωλ καὶ ἐπ’ οἶκον Μαων

  [23] and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,

  [24] καὶ ἐπὶ Καριωθ καὶ ἐπὶ Βοσορ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Μωαβ τὰς πόρρω καὶ τὰς ἐγγύς.

  [24] and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.

  [25] κατεάχθη κέρας Μωαβ, καὶ τὸ ἐπίχειρον αὐτοῦ συνετρίβη.

  [25] The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.

  [26] μεθύσατε αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐπὶ κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη· καὶ ἐπικρούσει Μωαβ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται εἰς γέλωτα καὶ αὐτός.

  [26] Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock.

  [27] καὶ εἰ μὴ εἰς γελοιασμὸν ἦν σοι Ισραηλ; εἰ ἐν κλοπαῖς σου εὑρέθη, ὅτι ἐπολέμεις αὐτόν;

  [27] For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him.

  [28] κατέλιπον τὰς πόλεις καὶ ᾤκησαν ἐν πέτραις οἱ κατοικοῦντες Μωαβ, ἐγενήθησαν ὡς περιστεραὶ νοσσεύουσαι ἐν πέτραις στόματι βοθύνου.

  [28] The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.

  [29] ἤκουσα ὕβριν Μωαβ, ὕβρισεν λίαν· ὕβριν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ.

  [29] And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.

  [30] ἐγὼ δὲ ἔγνων ἔργα αὐτοῦ· οὐχὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησεν.

  [30] But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?

  [31] διὰ τοῦτο ἐπὶ Μωαβ ὀλολύζετε πάντοθεν, βοήσατε ἐπ’ ἄνδρας Κιραδας αὐχμοῦ.

  [31] Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men in a gloomy place. I will weep for thee,

  [32] ὡς κλαυθμὸν Ιαζηρ ἀποκλαύσομαί σοι, ἄμπελος Σεβημα· κλήματά σου διῆλθεν θάλασσαν, Ιαζηρ ἥψαντο· ἐπὶ ὀπώραν σου, ἐπὶ τρυγηταῖς σου ὄλεθρος ἐπέπεσεν.

  [32] O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy fruits, and upon thy grape-gatherers.

  [33] συνεψήσθη χαρμοσύνη καὶ εὐφροσύνη ἐκ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος, καὶ οἶνος ἦν ἐπὶ ληνοῖς σου· πρωῒ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν οὐδὲ δείλης, οὐκ ἐποίησαν αιδαδ.

  [33] Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and though there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.

  [34] ἀπὸ κραυγῆς Εσεβων ἕως Ελεαλη αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Ζογορ ἕως Ωρωναιμ καὶ Αγλαθ – σαλισια, ὅτι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ Νεβριμ εἰς κατάκαυμα ἔσται.

  [34] From the cry of Esebon even to Ætam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings as a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.

  [35] καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸν Μωαβ, φησὶν κύριος, ἀναβαίνοντα ἐπὶ βωμὸν καὶ θυμιῶντα θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.

  [35] And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.

  [36] διὰ τοῦτο καρδία μου, Μωαβ, ὥσπερ αὐλοὶ βομβήσουσιν, καρδία μου ἐπ’ ἀνθρώπους Κιραδας ὥσπερ αὐλὸς βομβήσει· διὰ τοῦτο ἃ περιεποιήσατο, ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου.

  [36] Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what every man has gained has perished from him.

  [37] πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ξυρήσονται, καὶ πᾶς πώγων ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες κόψονται, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσης ὀσφύος σάκκος.

  [37] They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat the breasts, and on all loins shall be sackcloth.

  [38] καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν δωμάτων Μωαβ καὶ ἐπὶ πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ὅτι συνέτριψα τὸν Μωαβ, φησὶν κύριος, ὡς ἀγγεῖον, οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν χρεία αὐτοῦ.

  [38] And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets shall be mourning: for I have broken him, saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.

  [39] πῶς κατήλλαξεν; πῶς ἔστρεψεν νῶτον Μωαβ; ᾐσχύνθη καὶ ἐγένετο Μωαβ εἰς γέλωτα καὶ �
�γκότημα πᾶσιν τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.

  [39] How has he changed! how has Moab turned his back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.

  [40] ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος

  [40] For thus said the Lord;

  [41] Ἐλήμφθη Ακκαριωθ, καὶ τὰ ὀχυρώματα συνελήμφθη·

  [41] Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together.

  [42] καὶ ἀπολεῖται Μωαβ ἀπὸ ὄχλου, ὅτι ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη.

  [42] And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.

  [43] παγὶς καὶ φόβος καὶ βόθυνος ἐπὶ σοί, καθήμενος Μωαβ·

  [43] A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant off Moab.

  [44] ὁ φεύγων ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ φόβου ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς τὸν βόθυνον, καὶ ὁ ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ βοθύνου συλλημφθήσεται ἐν τῇ παγίδι, ὅτι ἐπάξω ταῦτα ἐπὶ Μωαβ ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῆς. ] Ὅσα ἐπροφήτευσεν Ιερεμιας ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

  [44] he that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.

  CHAPTER 32

  [15] Οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Λαβὲ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ ἀκράτου τούτου ἐκ χειρός μου καὶ ποτιεῖς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, πρὸς ἃ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω σε πρὸς αὐτούς,

  [15] Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from mine hand, and thou shalt cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send thee.
