| 15 τάδε λέγει κύριος σαβαωθ πορεύου εἰς τὸ παστοφόριον πρὸς Σομναν τὸν ταμίαν καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ 16 τί σὺ ὧδε καὶ τί σοί ἐστιν ὧδε ὅτι ἐλατόμησας σεαυτῷ ὧδε μνημεῖον καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ἐν ὑψηλῷ μνημεῖον καὶ ἔγραψας σεαυτῷ ἐν πέτρᾳ σκηνήν 17 ἰδοὺ δὴ κύριος σαβαωθ ἐκβαλεῖ καὶ ἐκτρίψει ἄνδρα καὶ ἀφελεῖ τὴν στολήν σου 18 καὶ τὸν στέφανόν σου τὸν ἔνδοξον καὶ ῥίψει σε εἰς χώραν μεγάλην καὶ ἀμέτρητον καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανῇ καὶ θήσει τὸ ἅρμα σου τὸ καλὸν εἰς ἀτιμίαν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἄρχοντός σου εἰς καταπάτημα 19 καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσῃ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας σου καὶ ἐκ τῆς στάσεώς σου 20 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καλέσω τὸν παῖδά μου Ελιακιμ τὸν τοῦ Χελκιου 21 καὶ ἐνδύσω αὐτὸν τὴν στολήν σου καὶ τὸν στέφανόν σου δώσω αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ κράτος καὶ τὴν οἰκονομίαν σου δώσω εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ὡς πατὴρ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσιν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσιν ἐν Ιουδα 22 καὶ δώσω τὴν δόξαν Δαυιδ αὐτῷ καὶ ἄρξει καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀντιλέγων 23 καὶ στήσω αὐτὸν ἄρχοντα ἐν τόπῳ πιστῷ καὶ ἔσται εἰς θρόνον δόξης τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ 24 καὶ ἔσται πεποιθὼς ἐ{P'} αὐτὸν πᾶς ἔνδοξος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου καὶ ἔσονται ἐπικρεμάμενοι αὐτῷ 25 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τάδε λέγει κύριος σαβαωθ κινηθήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐστηριγμένος ἐν τόπῳ πιστῷ καὶ πεσεῖται καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἡ δόξα ἡ ἐ{P'} αὐτόν ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν |
15 A message from the Lord God of hosts; Up, to my house betake thee, and find Sobna, that has charge of the temple.[4] This be thy word to him, 16 What claim of rank or kinship hast thou here, that thou shouldst hew out a burying-place for thyself? A tomb carefully hewed out on the hill side, an eyrie for thyself among the rocks? 17 Wait till the Lord trusses thee like a trussed fowl, folds thee like a cloak, 18 twines thee about with misfortune, and tosses thee like a ball into the great open plain! There shalt thou lie, and there that chariot which is thy pride, which is the shame of thy master’s house. 19 I mean to expel thee from the rank thou holdest, deprive thee of thy office. 20 And when that time comes, I will summon one who is a true servant of mine, Eliacim the son of Helcias, 21 clothe him with thy robe, gird him with thy girdle, entrust him with the power that once was thine; to rule all the citizens of Jerusalem, all Juda’s race, with a father’s care. 22 I will give him the key of David’s house to bear upon his shoulders; none may shut when he opens, none open when he shuts.[5] 23 I will fix him securely in his place, like a peg that is to carry all the royal honour of his father’s house; 24 all the honour of his father’s house will rest upon him, as a man’s goods rest on a peg, the smaller of them, here a cooking-pan, there an instrument of music. 25 A day is coming, says the Lord of hosts, when the peg that was once securely fixed will be dislodged from its place; suddenly it must break and fall, and all that hung from it be ruined; the Lord decrees it.[6] |

Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum:
Vade, ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo,
ad Sobnam, præpositum templi, et dices ad eum: 16
Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic?
quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum,
excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter,
in petra tabernaculum tibi. 17
Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet,
sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus;
et quasi amictum, sic sublevabit te. 18
Coronas coronabit te tribulatione;
quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam;
ibi morieris, et ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ,
ignominia domus domini tui. 19
Et expellam te de statione tua,
et de ministerio tuo deponam te. 20
Et erit in die illa:
vocabo servum meum Eliacim, filium Helciæ, 21
et induam illum tunica tua,
et cingulo tuo confortabo eum,
et potestatem tuam dabo in manu ejus;
et erit quasi pater habitantibus Jerusalem
et domui Juda. 22
Et dabo clavem domus David
super humerum ejus;
et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat;
et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat. 23
Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli,
et erit in solium gloriæ domui patris ejus. 24
Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris ejus;
vasorum diversa genera,
omne vas parvulum,
a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum. 25
In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum,
auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli,
et frangetur, et cadet,
et peribit quod pependerat in eo,
quia Dominus locutus est. |
