| 36 ὅτι κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ παρακληθήσεται εἶδεν γὰρ παραλελυμένους αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐκλελοιπότας ἐν ἐπαγωγῇ καὶ παρειμένους 37 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ θεοὶ αὐτῶν ἐ{F'} οἷς ἐπεποίθεισαν ἐ{P'} αὐτοῖς 38 ὧν τὸ στέαρ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν ἠσθίετε καὶ ἐπίνετε τὸν οἶνον τῶν σπονδῶν αὐτῶν ἀναστήτωσαν καὶ βοηθησάτωσαν ὑμῖν καὶ γενηθήτωσαν ὑμῖν σκεπασταί 39 ἴδετε ἴδετε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν ἐμοῦ ἐγὼ ἀποκτενῶ καὶ ζῆν ποιήσω πατάξω κἀγὼ ἰάσομαι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἐξελεῖται ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν μου 40 ὅτι ἀρῶ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν τὴν χεῖρά μου καὶ ὀμοῦμαι τῇ δεξιᾷ μου καὶ ἐρῶ ζῶ ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα 41 ὅτι παροξυνῶ ὡς ἀστραπὴν τὴν μάχαιράν μου καὶ ἀνθέξεται κρίματος ἡ χείρ μου καὶ ἀνταποδώσω δίκην τοῖς ἐχθροῖς καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσίν με ἀνταποδώσω 42 μεθύσω τὰ βέλη μου ἀ{F'} αἵματος καὶ ἡ μάχαιρά μου καταφάγεται κρέα ἀ{F'} αἵματος τραυματιῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωσίας ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν 43 εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοί ἅμα αὐτῷ καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες υἱοὶ θεοῦ εὐφράνθητε ἔθνη μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνισχυσάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικᾶται καὶ ἐκδικήσει καὶ ἀνταποδώσει δίκην τοῖς ἐχθροῖς καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσιν ἀνταποδώσει καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖ κύριος τὴν γῆν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ |
36 Never doubt it, the Lord will give his people redress, will take pity on his servants, when he sees their strength so spent, the number of them so dwindled, whether bond or free. 37 He will ask, What has become of those gods of yours, once so well trusted, 38 that shared, once, the fat of your victims, the wine you poured in libation? Will they not bestir themselves, and come to your aid, protect you in your hour of need? 39 Now you shall learn that I alone am God; there are no others to rival me; it is mine to kill and to quicken, mine to smite and to heal; from my power there is no deliverance. 40 See, I lift up my hand, and swear by my own eternal being 41 that I am whetting this bright sword of mine, to execute speedy judgement; I mean to take vengeance, now, on my enemies, requite them for all their malice. 42 Now to glut my arrows with their blood, now to flesh this sword of mine with the slaughter of my enemies, warriors slain in battle and unhelmeted captives! 43 Do honour, you nations, to the Lord’s people; he means to avenge the blood of his servants, to punish their enemies, to be reconciled once again with the land of Israel. |

Judicabit Dominus populum suum,
et in servis suis miserebitur:
videbit quod infirmata sit manus,
et clausi quoque defecerunt,
residuique consumpti sunt. 37
Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii eorum,
in quibus habebant fiduciam? 38
de quorum victimis comedebant adipes,
et bibebant vinum libaminum:
surgant, et opitulentur vobis,
et in necessitate vos protegant. 39
Videte quod ego sim solus,
et non sit alius deus præter me:
ego occidam, et ego vivere faciam:
percutiam, et ego sanabo,
et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere. 40
Levabo ad cælum manum meam,
et dicam: Vivo ego in æternum. 41
Si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum,
et arripuerit judicium manus mea:
reddam ultionem hostibus meis,
et his qui oderunt me retribuam. 42
Inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine,
et gladius meus devorabit carnes;
de cruore occisorum, et de captivitate,
nudati inimicorum capitis. 43
Laudate, gentes, populum ejus,
quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur:
et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum,
et propitius erit terræ populi sui. |
