- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et tenebunt eos populi, et adducent eos in locum suum ; et possidebit eos domus Israël super terram Domini in servos et ancillas : et erunt capientes eos qui se ceperant, et subjicient exactores suos.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ λήμψονται αὐτοὺς ἔθνη καὶ εἰσάξουσιν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν, καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν, καὶ πληθυνθήσονται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· καὶ ἔσονται αἰχμάλωτοι οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύσαντες αὐτούς, καὶ κυριευθήσονται οἱ κυριεύσαντες αὐτῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וּלְקָח֣וּם עַמִּים֮ וֶהֱבִיא֣וּם אֶל מְקוֹמָם֒ וְהִֽתְנַחֲל֣וּם בֵּֽית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל עַ֚ל אַדְמַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים וְלִשְׁפָח֑וֹת וְהָיוּ֙ שֹׁבִ֣ים לְשֹֽׁבֵיהֶ֔ם וְרָד֖וּ בְּנֹגְשֵׂיהֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Place. Cyrus probably granted an escort, as Artaxerxes did, 2 Esdras ii. 7.
Servants. They had purchased many slaves, (1 Esdras ii. 65.) as some were very rich in captivity, and were treated like other subjects.
Oppressors. Stragglers of the army of Cambyses, &c., though this was chiefly verified under the Machabees, Jeremias xxv. 14., and xxx. 16. (Calmet)
