§4.1Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, δαμάλεις τῆς Βασανίτιδος αἱ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῆς Σαμαρείας, αἱ καταδυυαστεύουσαι πτωχοὺς καὶ καταπατοῦσαι πένητας, αἱ λέγουσαι τοῖς κυρίοις αὐτῶν Ἐπίδοτε ἡμῖν ὅπαως πίωμεν. §4.2ὀμνύει Κύριος κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων αὐτοῦ διότι Ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς καὶ λήμψονται ὑμᾶς ἐν ὅπλοις, καὶ τοὺς μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰς λφδητας ὑποκαιομένους ἐμβαλοῦσιν ἔμπυροι λοιμοί,
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to their masters: 'Bring to us, so that we may drink.' The Lord swears by his holiness: 'Behold, the days are coming upon you, when they shall take you away with weapons, and those who are with you, burning plagues shall cast into heated cauldrons.
§4.3καὶ ἐξενεχθήσεσθε γυμναὶ κατέναντι ἀλλήλων, καὶ ἀποριφήσεσθε εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ῥομμάν, λέγει Κύριος.
And you shall go out naked, each one straight before the other, and you shall be cast out to Mount Romman,' says the Lord.
§4.4Εἰσήλθατε εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἡσεβήσατε, καὶ εἰς Γάλγαλα ἐπληθύνατε τοῦ ἀσεβῆσαι, καὶ ἠνέγκατε εἰς τὸ πρωὶ θυσίας ὑμῶν, εἰς τὴν τριημερίαν τὰ ἐπιδέκατα ὑμῶν·
'You entered into Bethel and committed impiety, and in Galgala you multiplied your impiety; and you brought your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes on the third day.
§4.5καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἔξω νόμον, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὁμολογίας·
And they read the law outside, and called for voluntary offerings.
ἀναγγείλατε ὅτι ταῦτα ἠγάπησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεός.
Proclaim that the sons of Israel loved these things,' says the Lord God.
§4.6καὶ ἐγὼ δώσω ὑμῖν γομφιασμὸν ὀδόυτων ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔνδειαν ἄρτων ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς τόποις ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος.
'And I will give you soreness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places; yet you did not return to me,' says the Lord.
§4.7καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνέσχον ἐξ ὑμῶν τὸν ὑετὸν πρὸ τριῶν μηνῶντοῦ τρυγητοῦ, καὶ βρέξω ἐπὶ πόλιν μίαν, ἐπὶ δὲ πόλιν μίαν οὐ βρέξωμερlς μία βραχῆσεται, καὶ μερὶς ἐφʼ ἣν οὐ βρέξω ξηρανθήσεται.
'And I withheld the rain from you three months before the harvest; and I will rain upon one city, but upon another city I will not rain; one part shall be watered, and the part upon which I do not rain shall be withered.
§4.8καὶ συναθροισθήσονται δύο καὶ τρεῖς πόλεις εἰς πόλιν μίαν τοῦ πιεῖν ὕδωρ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστράφητε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος.
And two or three cities shall gather together to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied; yet you did not return to me,' says the Lord.
§4.9ἐπάταξα ὑμᾶς ἐν πυρώσει καὶ ἐν ἰκτέρῳ· ἐπληθύνατε κήπους ὑμῶν, ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ συκῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν κατέφαγεν ἡ κάμπη, καὶ οὐδ᾿ ὣς ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος.
'I struck you with scorching wind and mildew; you multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, your fig orchards, and your olive orchards, and the caterpillar devoured them; yet even so you did not return to me,' says the Lord.
§4.10ἐξαπέστειλα εἰς ὑμᾶς θάνατον ἐν ὁδῷ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινα ἐν όομφαίᾳ τοὺς νεανίσκους ὑμῶν μετὰ αἰχμαλωσίας ἵππων σου, καὶ ἀνήγαγον ἐν πυρὶ τὰς παρεμβολὰς ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱδ’ ὣς ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος.
'I sent death among you in the way of Egypt, and I killed your young men with the sword, along with the captivity of your horses, and in your anger I brought up your camps in fire; yet even so you did not return to me,' says the Lord.
§4.11κατέστρεψα ὑμᾶς καθὼς κατέστρεψεν ὁ θεὸς Σόδομα καὶ Ι όμορρα, καὶ ἐγένεσθε ὡς δαλὸς ἐξεσπασμένος ἐκ πυρός, καὶ οὐδʼ ὧς ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος.
'I overthrew you as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you became like a brand snatched from the fire; yet even so you did not return to me,' says the Lord.
§4.12διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως ποιήσω σοι, Ἰσραήλ· πλὴν ὅτι οὕτως ποιήσω σοι, ἑτοιμάζου τοῦ ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τὸν θεόν σου, Ἰσραήλ. §4.13διότι στερεῶν βροντὴν καὶ κτίζων πνεῦμα καὶ ἀπαγγέλλων εἰς ἀνθρώπους τὸν χριστὸν αὐτοῦ, ὁ ποιῶν ὄρθρον καὶ ὁμίχλην, ἐπιβαίνωνἐπὶἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη τῆς γῆς· Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ.
'Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel; but because I will do thus to you, prepare to call upon your God, O Israel.' For behold, he who strengthens the thunder and creates the wind, and declares his anointed to men, he who makes the dawn and the mist, and treads upon the high places of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.
