Isaiah 48

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob called by the name Israel, sprung from the stock of Judah, You who swear by the name of the LORD and invoke the God of Israel without sincerity or justice,	1 ακουσατε ταυτα οικος ιακωβ οι κεκλημενοι τω ονοματι ισραηλ και οι εξ ιουδα εξελθοντες οι ομνυοντες τω ονοματι κυριου θεου ισραηλ μιμνησκομενοι ου μετα αληθειας ουδε μετα δικαιοσυνης
2 Though you are named after the holy city and rely on the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD of hosts.	2 και αντεχομενοι τω ονοματι της πολεως της αγιας και επι τω θεω του ισραηλ αντιστηριζομενοι κυριος σαβαωθ ονομα αυτω
3 Things of the past I foretold long ago, they went forth from my mouth, I let you hear of them; then suddenly I took action and they came to be.	3 τα προτερα ετι ανηγγειλα και εκ του στοματος μου εξηλθεν και ακουστον εγενετο εξαπινα εποιησα και επηλθεν
4 Because I know that you are stubborn and that your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead bronze,	4 γινωσκω εγω οτι σκληρος ει και νευρον σιδηρουν ο τραχηλος σου και το μετωπον σου χαλκουν
5 I foretold them to you of old; before they took place I let you hear of them, That you might not say, "My idol did them, my statue, my molten image commanded them."	5 και ανηγγειλα σοι παλαι πριν ελθειν επι σε ακουστον σοι εποιησα μη ειπης οτι τα ειδωλα μου εποιησαν και μη ειπης οτι τα γλυπτα και τα χωνευτα ενετειλατο μοι
6 Now that you have heard, look at all this; must you not admit it? From now on I announce new things to you, hidden events of which you knew not.	6 ηκουσατε παντα και υμεις ουκ εγνωτε αλλα και ακουστα σοι εποιησα τα καινα απο του νυν α μελλει γινεσθαι και ουκ ειπας
7 Now, not long ago, they are brought into being, and beforetime you did not hear of them, so that you cannot claim to have known them;	7 νυν γινεται και ου παλαι και ου προτεραις ημεραις ηκουσας αυτα μη ειπης οτι ναι γινωσκω αυτα
8 You neither heard nor knew, they did not reach your ears beforehand. Yes, I know you are utterly treacherous, a rebel you were called from birth.	8 ουτε εγνως ουτε ηπιστω ουτε απ' αρχης ηνοιξα σου τα ωτα εγνων γαρ οτι αθετων αθετησεις και ανομος ετι εκ κοιλιας κληθηση
9 For the sake of my name I restrain my anger, for the sake of my renown I hold it back from you, lest I should destroy you.	9 ενεκεν του εμου ονοματος δειξω σοι τον θυμον μου και τα ενδοξα μου επαξω επι σοι ινα μη εξολεθρευσω σε
10 See, I have refined you like silver, tested you in the furnace of affliction.	10 ιδου πεπρακα σε ουχ ενεκεν αργυριου εξειλαμην δε σε εκ καμινου πτωχειας
11 For my sake, for my own sake, I do this; why should I suffer profanation? My glory I will not give to another.	11 ενεκεν εμου ποιησω σοι οτι το εμον ονομα βεβηλουται και την δοξαν μου ετερω ου δωσω
12 Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I named! I, it is I who am the first, and also the last am I.	12 ακουε μου ιακωβ και ισραηλ ον εγω καλω εγω ειμι πρωτος και εγω ειμι εις τον αιωνα
13 Yes, my hand laid the foundations of the earth; my right hand spread out the heavens. When I call them, they stand forth at once.	13 και η χειρ μου εθεμελιωσεν την γην και η δεξια μου εστερεωσεν τον ουρανον καλεσω αυτους και στησονται αμα
14 All of you assemble and listen: Who among you foretold these things? The LORD'S friend shall do his will against Babylon and the progeny of Chaldea.	14 και συναχθησονται παντες και ακουσονται τις αυτοις ανηγγειλεν ταυτα αγαπων σε εποιησα το θελημα σου επι βαβυλωνα του αραι σπερμα χαλδαιων
15 I myself have spoken, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way succeeds!	15 εγω ελαλησα εγω εκαλεσα ηγαγον αυτον και ευοδωσα την οδον αυτου
16 Come near to me and hear this! Not from the beginning did I speak it in secret; At the time it comes to pass, I am present: "Now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his spirit."	16 προσαγαγετε προς με και ακουσατε ταυτα ουκ απ' αρχης εν κρυφη ελαλησα ουδε εν τοπω γης σκοτεινω ηνικα εγενετο εκει ημην και νυν κυριος απεσταλκεν με και το πνευμα αυτου
17 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I, the LORD, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go.	17 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ρυσαμενος σε ο αγιος ισραηλ εγω ειμι ο θεος σου δεδειχα σοι του ευρειν σε την οδον εν η πορευση εν αυτη
18 If you would hearken to my commandments, your prosperity would be like a river, and your vindication like the waves of the sea;	18 και ει ηκουσας των εντολων μου εγενετο αν ωσει ποταμος η ειρηνη σου και η δικαιοσυνη σου ως κυμα θαλασσης
19 Your descendants would be like the sand, and those born of your stock like its grains, Their name never cut off or blotted out from my presence.	19 και εγενετο αν ως η αμμος το σπερμα σου και τα εκγονα της κοιλιας σου ως ο χους της γης ουδε νυν ου μη εξολεθρευθης ουδε απολειται το ονομα σου ενωπιον μου
20 Go forth from Babylon, flee from Chaldea! With shouts of joy proclaim this, make it known; Publish it to the ends of the earth, and say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.	20 εξελθε εκ βαβυλωνος φευγων απο των χαλδαιων φωνην ευφροσυνης αναγγειλατε και ακουστον γενεσθω τουτο απαγγειλατε εως εσχατου της γης λεγετε ερρυσατο κυριος τον δουλον αυτου ιακωβ
21 They did not thirst when he led them through dry lands; Water from the rock he set flowing for them; he cleft the rock, and waters welled forth."	21 και εαν διψησωσιν δι' ερημου αξει αυτους υδωρ εκ πετρας εξαξει αυτοις σχισθησεται πετρα και ρυησεται υδωρ και πιεται ο λαος μου
22 (There is no peace for the wicked, says the LORD.)	22 ουκ εστιν χαιρειν τοις ασεβεσιν λεγει κυριος
