A Brief Discussion of MT Isaiah 24,14-16 535 th" gh'" eufranqhsontai a{ma th/' dovxh/ kuriou “but the ones left on the ' j v v earth will rejoice together in the glory of the Lord”. This clause is a translation of Hebrew hwhy ˆwagb wnry “they will rejoice in the majesty of Yahweh”. The Greek relates to the Hebrew in the following respects: the Greek verb eujfranqhvsontai “they will rejoice” is linked to the Hebrew wnry as eujfraivnw usually renders ˆnr in LXX Isa (cf. 12,6; 16,10; 24,14; 26,19; 42,11; 44,23; 49,13; 52,8; 54,1; compare with the same rendition in Deut 32,43; 1 Chr 16,33; Jer 31,12). The expression th/' dovxh/ kurivou (LXX Isa 24,14b) is linked to the Hebrew hwhy ˆwagb, which belongs to v. 14c in MT according to its punctuation. It is important to notice that ˆwag is not usually translated with dovxa in LXX Isa, with the exception of Isa 14,11 (20). With respect to the phrase oiJ de; kataleifqevnte" ejpi; th'" gh'" “but those who are left on the earth”, one scholar argued that the phrase ≈rab μyraçnh “the ones left on the earth” was perhaps already present as a “Glosse” in the LXX Vorlage, functioning as an explanation of the subject of the hmh “they” (v. 14a). The translator then used this gloss in his text (21). This suggestion must be rejected as there is no textual evidence for it (22). Finally, the preposition a{ma “together” is also a plus in the LXX. Taken as a text of its own, the particle dev “but” in LXX v. 14b introduces a contrast between the ou|toi “these” in v. 14a and the oiJ de; kataleifqevnte" “the ones left” of v. 14b (23). LXX v. 14 envisions, therefore, two classes of people. As such, it is important to find out the identity of the ones who “cry out” in v. 14a and the “ones who are left on the earth” in v. 14b. The identity of the ou|toi “these” in v. 14a is found in the aujtouv" “them” of v. 13c (24). In its own literary context, LXX v. 14 is syntacti- cally connected with v. 13 as v. 14a functions as the apodosis to the protasis in v. 13d (25). Vv. 13b-14a display the same syntactical pattern: (20) The word ˆwag is translated by ijscuv" “strength” in 2,10.19; by uJyovw “to elevate, exalt” in 4,2; and by u{bri" “insolence, pride, arrogance” in 13,11; 16,6; 23,9. It is not clear what word translates, if any, ˆwag in 13,19 and 60,15. (21) Cf. J. ZIEGLER, Untersuchungen zur Septuaginta des Buches Isaias (ATA XII/3; Münster 1934) 59.
