ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 46

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 επεσε βηλ συνετριβη δαγων εγενετο τα γλυπτα αυτων εις θηρια και κτηνη αιρετε αυτα καταδεδεμενα ως φορτιον κοπιωντι	1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon beasts and cattle; They must be borne up on shoulders, carried as burdens by the weary.
2 και πεινωντι και εκλελυμενω ουκ ισχυοντι αμα οι ου δυνησονται σωθηναι απο πολεμου αυτοι δε αιχμαλωτοι ηχθησαν	2 They stoop and bow down together; unable to save those who bear them, they too go into captivity.
3 ακουσατε μου οικος του ιακωβ και παν το καταλοιπον του ισραηλ οι αιρομενοι εκ κοιλιας και παιδευομενοι εκ παιδιου	3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, all who remain of the house of Israel, My burden since your birth, whom I have carried from your infancy.
4 εως γηρους εγω ειμι και εως αν καταγηρασητε εγω ειμι εγω ανεχομαι υμων εγω εποιησα και εγω ανησω εγω αναλημψομαι και σωσω υμας	4 Even to your old age I am the same, even when your hair is gray I will bear you; It is I who have done this, I who will continue, and I who will carry you to safety.
5 τινι με ωμοιωσατε ιδετε τεχνασασθε οι πλανωμενοι	5 Whom would you compare me with, as an equal, or match me against, as though we were alike?
6 οι συμβαλλομενοι χρυσιον εκ μαρσιππιου και αργυριον εν ζυγω στησουσιν εν σταθμω και μισθωσαμενοι χρυσοχοον εποιησαν χειροποιητα και κυψαντες προσκυνουσιν αυτοις	6 There are those who pour out gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales; Then they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god before which they fall down in worship.
7 αιρουσιν αυτο επι των ωμων και πορευονται εαν δε θωσιν αυτο επι του τοπου αυτου μενει ου μη κινηθη και ος αν βοηση προς αυτον ου μη εισακουση απο κακων ου μη σωση αυτον	7 They lift it to their shoulders to carry; when they set it in place again, it stays, and does not move from the spot. Although they cry out to it, it cannot answer; it delivers no one from distress.
8 μνησθητε ταυτα και στεναξατε μετανοησατε οι πεπλανημενοι επιστρεψατε τη καρδια	8 Remember this and be firm, bear it well in mind, you rebels; remember the former things, those long ago:
9 και μνησθητε τα προτερα απο του αιωνος οτι εγω ειμι ο θεος και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην εμου	9 I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me.
10 αναγγελλων προτερον τα εσχατα πριν αυτα γενεσθαι και αμα συνετελεσθη και ειπα πασα μου η βουλη στησεται και παντα οσα βεβουλευμαι ποιησω	10 At the beginning I foretell the outcome; in advance, things not yet done. I say that my plan shall stand, I accomplish my every purpose.
11 καλων απ' ανατολων πετεινον και απο γης πορρωθεν περι ων βεβουλευμαι ελαλησα και ηγαγον εκτισα και εποιησα ηγαγον αυτον και ευοδωσα την οδον αυτου	11 I call from the east a bird of prey, from a distant land, one to carry out my plan. Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it; I have planned it, and I will do it.
12 ακουσατε μου οι απολωλεκοτες την καρδιαν οι μακραν απο της δικαιοσυνης	12 Listen to me, you fainthearted, you who seem far from the victory of justice:
13 ηγγισα την δικαιοσυνην μου και την σωτηριαν την παρ' εμου ου βραδυνω δεδωκα εν σιων σωτηριαν τω ισραηλ εις δοξασμα	13 I am bringing on my justice, it is not far off, my salvation shall not tarry; I will put salvation within Zion, and give to Israel my glory.
