ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 23

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Η κατα της Τυρου ορασις. Ολολυζετε, πλοια της Θαρσεις? διοτι εξωλοθρευθη, ωστε να μη υπαρχη οικια μηδε εισοδος? εκ της γης των Κητιαιων ανηγγελθη τουτο προς αυτους.	1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
2 Σιωπησατε, κατοικοι της νησου? συ, την οποιαν εγεμισαν οι εμποροι της Σιδωνος, οι διαβαινοντες επι της θαλασσης.	2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3 Και το εισοδημα αυτης ειναι ο σπορος του Σιωρ, το θερος του ποταμου, φερομενα δια πολλων υδατων? και αυτη εγεινε το εμποριον των εθνων.	3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
4 Αισχυνθητι, Σιδων? διοτι η θαλασσα ελαλησε, το οχυρωμα της θαλασσης, λεγουσα, Δεν κοιλοπονω ουδε γεννω ουδε ανατρεφω νεους ουδε μεγαλωνω παρθενους.	4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”
5 Οταν ακουσθη εν Αιγυπτω, θελουσι λυπηθη ακουοντες περι της Τυρου.	5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6 Διελθετε εις Θαρσεις? ολολυξατε, κατοικοι της νησου.	6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7 Αυτη ειναι η ευθυμος πολις σας, της οποιας η αρχαιοτης ειναι εκ παλαιων ημερων; οι ποδες αυτης θελουσι φερει αυτην μακραν δια να παροικηση.	7 Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
8 Τις εβουλευθη τουτο κατα της Τυρου, ητις διανεμει στεμματα, της οποιας οι εμποροι ειναι ηγεμονες, της οποιας οι πραγματευται ειναι οι ενδοξοι της γης;	8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
9 Ο Κυριος των δυναμεων εβουλευθη τουτο, δια να καταισχυνη την υπερηφανιαν πασης δοξης, να εξευτελιση παντα ενδοξον της γης.	9 The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.
10 Διαπερασον την γην σου ως ποταμος, θυγατηρ της Θαρσεις? δυναμις πλεον δεν υπαρχει.	10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
11 Εξετεινε την χειρα αυτου επι την θαλασσαν, εσεισε βασιλεια? ο Κυριος εδωκε προσταγην κατα της Χανααν, δια να καταστρεψωσι τα οχυρωματα αυτης.	11 He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.
12 Και ειπε, δεν θελεις αγαλλεσθαι πλεον, παρθενε κατατεθλιμμενη, θυγατηρ της Σιδωνος? σηκωθητι, περασον προς τους Κητιαιους? ουδε εκει θελεις εχει αναπαυσιν.	12 And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”
13 Ιδου, η γη των Χαλδαιων? ουτος ο λαος δεν υπηρχεν? ο Ασσυριος εθεμελιωσεν αυτον δια τους κατοικουντας την ερημον? ηγειραν τους πυργους αυτης, υψωσαν τα παλατια αυτης? και κατεστησεν αυτην ερειπια.	13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.
14 Ολολυζετε, πλοια της Θαρσεις? διοτι ηρημωθη το οχυρωμα σας.	14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
15 Και εν εκεινη τη ημερα η Τυρος θελει λησμονηθη εβδομηκοντα ετη, κατα τας ημερας ενος βασιλεως? μετα δε τα εβδομηκοντα ετη θελει εισθαι εν τη Τυρω ως ασμα της πορνης.	15 And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.
16 Λαβε κιθαραν, περιελθε την πολιν, πορνη λησμονημενη, παιζε γλυκα, αδε πολλα ασματα, δια να σε ενθυμηθωσι.	16 Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.
17 Και μετα τα εβδομηκοντα ετη, ο Κυριος θελει επισκεφθη την Τυρον? και αυτη θελει επιστρεψει εις το μισθωμα αυτης, και θελει πορνευεσθαι μετα παντων των βασιλειων του κοσμου επι προσωπου της γης.	17 And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 Και το εμποριον αυτης και το μισθωμα αυτης θελει αφιερωθη εις τον Κυριον? δεν θελει θησαυρισθη ουδε ταμιευθη? διοτι το εμποριον αυτης θελει εισθαι δια τους κατοικουντας ενωπιον του Κυριου? δια να τρωγωσιν εις χορτασμον και να εχωσιν ενδυματα πολυχρονια.	18 And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.
