| 4 ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκλειψις τῆς δόξης Ιακωβ καὶ τὰ πίονα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται 5 καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀμητὸν ἑστηκότα καὶ σπέρμα σταχύων ἐν τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ ἀμήσῃ καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ στάχυν ἐν φάραγγι στερεᾷ 6 καὶ καταλειφθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ καλάμη ἢ ὡς ῥῶγες ἐλαίας δύο ἢ τρεῖς ἐ{P'} ἄκρου μετεώρου ἢ τέσσαρες ἢ πέντε ἐπὶ τῶν κλάδων αὐτῶν καταλειφθῇ τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ 7 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ πεποιθὼς ἔσται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐμβλέψονται 8 καὶ οὐ μὴ πεποιθότες ὦσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς βωμοῖς οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ δάκτυλοι αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται τὰ δένδρα αὐτῶν οὐδὲ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν 9 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσονται αἱ πόλεις σου ἐγκαταλελειμμέναι ὃν τρόπον ἐγκατέλιπον οἱ Αμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Ευαῖοι ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἔσονται ἔρημοι 10 διότι κατέλιπες τὸν θεὸν τὸν σωτῆρά σου καὶ κυρίου τοῦ βοηθοῦ σου οὐκ ἐμνήσθης διὰ τοῦτο φυτεύσεις φύτευμα ἄπιστον καὶ σπέρμα ἄπιστον 11 τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἂν φυτεύσῃς πλανηθήσῃ τὸ δὲ πρωί ἐὰν σπείρῃς ἀνθήσει εἰς ἀμητὸν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ κληρώσῃ καὶ ὡς πατὴρ ἀνθρώπου κληρώσῃ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου |
4 The renown of Jacob, little enough will it be when that day comes; nothing but skin and bone will be left. 5 Scanty as the corn a man gathers in his arm when he picks up what is left after the harvest, some gleaner in the valley of Rephaim. 6 Only a cluster left here and there, a few olives still to be shaken off, two or three at the end of a branch, four or five on the top branch of all; that is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has decreed. 7 Then at last man will turn to his Maker, will look towards the Holy One of Israel. 8 He will turn no longer towards altars of his own designing, have eyes no longer for pillar and shrine of his own fashioning. 9 The cities he had fortified will be abandoned then, as ploughs and crops[1] were abandoned when Israel itself was the invader, and thou shalt be left forlorn. 10 Thou didst forget the God who delivered thee, and gavest no thought to thy strong protector; thou art like one who plants on soil of good promise, but all the while is putting in bastard shoots. 11 Wild grapes they were from the day when thou didst plant them, and soon this planting of thine will begin to bud; and now, when the time comes to enjoy it, here is all thy harvest lost to thee, and bitterly thou dost repine.[2] |

Et erit in die illa:
attenuabitur gloria Jacob,
et pinguedo carnis ejus marcescet. 5
Et erit sicut congregans in messe quod restiterit,
et brachium ejus spicas leget;
et erit sicut quærens spicas
in valle Raphaim. 6
Et relinquetur in eo sicut racemus et sicut excussio oleæ
duarum vel trium olivarum in summitate rami,
sive quatuor aut quinque in cacuminibus ejus fructus ejus,
dicit Dominus Deus Israël. 7
In die illa inclinabitur homo ad
factorem suum,
et oculi ejus ad Sanctum Israël respicient; 8
et non inclinabitur ad altaria quæ fecerunt manus ejus;
et quæ operati sunt digiti ejus non respiciet
lucos et delubra. 9
In die illa erunt civitates fortitudinis ejus
derelictæ sicut aratra, et segetes
quæ derelictæ sunt a facie filiorum Israël;
et eris deserta. 10
Quia oblitus es Dei salvatoris tui,
et fortis adjutoris tui non es recordata:
propterea plantabis plantationem fidelem,
et germen alienum seminabis; 11
in die plantationis tuæ labrusca,
et mane semen tuum florebit;
ablata est messis in die hæreditatis,
et dolebit graviter. |
