§2.1εἴπατε τῷ ἀδελφῷ ὑμῶν Λαός μου. καὶ τῆ ἀδελφῇ ὑμῶν Ἐλεημένη. §2.2Κρίθητε πρὸς τὴν μητέρα ὑμῶν, κρίθητε, ὅτι αὕτη οὐ γυνὴ μου καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς.
Say to your brother, 'My people,' and to your sister, 'Pitied.' Contend with your mother, contend, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband.
καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὴν πορνίαν αὐτῆς ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ τὴν μοιχείαν αὐτῆς ἐκ μέσου μαστῶν αὐτῆς, §2.3ὅπως ἂν ἐκδύσω αὐτὴν γυμνήν, καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτὴν καθὼς ἡ ἡμέρα γενέσεως αὐτῆς· καὶ θήσω αὐτὴν ἔρημον καὶ τάξω αὐτὴν ὡς γῆν ἄνυδρον, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ αὐτὴν ἐν δίψει·
I will remove her whoredom from before my face, and her adultery from between her breasts, so that I may strip her naked and restore her as on the day of her birth; I will make her a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and kill her with thirst.
§2.4καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσω, ὅτι τέκνα πορνείας ἐστίν.
And upon her children I will have no mercy, because they are children of whoredom.
§2.5ὅτι ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτῶν, κατῄσχυνεν ἡ τεκοῦσα αὐτά, ὅτι εἶπεν Πορεύσομαι ὀπίσω τῶν ἐραστῶν μου τῶν διδόντων μοι τοὺς ἄρτους μου καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ μου καὶ τὰ ἱμάτιά μου καὶ τὰ ὀθόνιά μου, τὸ ἔλαιόν μου καὶ πάντα ὅσα μοι καθήκει. §2.6διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φράσσω τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς ἐν σκόλοψιν, καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ τὴν τρίβον αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ·
For their mother has committed whoredom; she who bore them has acted shamefully. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and everything that belongs to me.' Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall, and she will not find her paths.
§2.7καὶ καταδιώξεται τοὺς ἐραστὰς αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτούς, καὶ ζητήσει αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐρεῖ Πορεύσομαι καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα μου τὸν πρότερον, ὅτι καλῶς μοι ἦν τότε ἡ νῦν. §2.8καὶ αὕτη οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ τὸν σῖτον καὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ ἀργύριον ἐπλήθυνα αὐτῇ· αὕτη δὲ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ ἐποίησεν τῇ Βάαλ.
She will pursue her lovers but not overtake them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than now.' And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who multiplied silver for her; yet they used this silver and gold for Baal.
§2.9διὰ τοῦτο ἐπιστρέψω καὶ κομιοῦμαι τὸν σῖτόν μου καθʼ ὥραν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν οἶνόν μου ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀφελοῦμαι τὰ ἱμάτιά μου καὶ τὰ ὀθόνιά μου τοῦ μὴ καλύπτειν τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτῆς·
Therefore I will return and take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will take away my wool and my flax so as not to cover her nakedness.
§2.10καὶ νῦν ἀποκαλύψω τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν αὐτῆς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐδεὶς οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρός μου·
And now I will uncover her uncleanness before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
§2.11καὶ ἀποστρέψω πάσας τὰς εὐφροσύνας αὐτῆς, ἑορτὰς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς νουμηνίας αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς καὶ πάσας τὰς πανηγύρεις αὐτῆς·
I will also put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her festive assemblies.
§2.12καὶ ἀφανιῶ ἄμπελον αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς συκᾶς αὐτῆς, ὅσα εἶπεν Μισθώματά μου ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἔδωκάν μοι οἱ ἐρασταί μου, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὰ εἰς μαρτύριον, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτὰ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὰ ἑρπετὰ τῆς γῆς·
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, 'These are my wages which my lovers have given me.' I will make them a testimony, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the earth shall devour them.
§2.13καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπʼ αὐτὴν τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν Βααλεὶμ ἐν αἷς ἐπέθυεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ περιετίθετο τὰ ἐνώτια αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ καθόρμια αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὀπίσω τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, ἐμοῦ δὲ ἐπελάθετο, λέγει Κύριος.
And I will punish her for the days of the Baals, in which she offered incense to them, and decked herself with her earrings and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, but forgot me, says the Lord.
§2.14διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πλανῶ αὐτὴν καὶ τάξω αὐτὴν ὡς ἔρημον, καὶ λαλήσω ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς,
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
§2.15καὶ δώσω αὐτῇ τὰ κτήματα αὐτῆς ἐκεῖθεν καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα Ἀχὼρ διανοῖξαι σύνεσιν αὐτῆς·
And I will give her her vineyards from there, and make the valley of Achor a door of hope to open her understanding.
καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἐκεῖ κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας νηπιότητος αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἀναβάσεως αὐτῆς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
And she shall be humbled there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
§2.16καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος, καλέσει με Ὁ ἀνήρ μου. καὶ οὐ καλέσει με ἔτι Βααλείμ· §2.17καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν Βααλεὶμ ἐκ στόματος αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῶσιν οὐκέτι τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν.
And on that day, says the Lord, she will call me, 'My husband,' and will no longer call me, 'Baals.' For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more.
§2.18καὶ διαθήσομαι αὐτοῖς διαθήκην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μετὰ τῶν θηρίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ μετὰ τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῆς γῆς·
And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground.
καὶ τόξον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ πόλεμον συντρίψω ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατοικιῶ σε ἐπʼ ἐλπ ίδι.
I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you dwell in hope.
§2.19καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κρίματι καὶ ἐν ἐλέει καὶ ἐν οἰκτειρμοῖς,
I will betroth you to myself forever; I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, in justice, in steadfast love, and in compassion.
§2.20καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ ἐν πίστει, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ τὸν κύριον.
I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord.
§2.21καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐπακούσομαι τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπακούσεται τῇ γῇ, §2.22καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐπακούσεται τὸν σῖτον καὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ αὐτὰ ἐπακούσεται τῷ Ἰεζραέλ.
And on that day, says the Lord, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth; and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.
§2.23καὶ σπερῶ αὐτὴν ἐμαυτῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀγαπήσω τὴν Οὐκ ἠγαπημένην, καὶ ἐρῶ τῷ Οὐ λαῷ μου Λαός μου εἶ σύ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐρεῖ Κύριος ὁ θεός μου εἰ σύ.
And I will sow her for myself in the land, and I will love her who was Not-pitied, and I will say to Not-my-people, 'You are my people,' and he shall say, 'You are the Lord my God.'
