Isaiah 66

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What is this house that you would build for me? And what is this place of my rest?	1 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ο ουρανος ειναι θρονος μου και η γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου? ποιος ειναι ο οικος, τον οποιον ηθελετε οικοδομησει δι' εμε; και ποιος ειναι ο τοπος της αναπαυσεως μου;
2 My hand has made all these things, and all these things have been made, says the Lord. But upon whom will I look with favor, except upon a poor little one, who is contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my words?	2 Διοτι η χειρ μου εκαμε παντα ταυτα και εγειναν παντα ταυτα, λεγει Κυριος? εις τινα λοιπον θελω επιβλεψει; εις τον πτωχον και συντετριμμενον το πνευμα και τρεμοντα τον λογον μου.
3 Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.	3 Οστις δε σφαζει βουν, ειναι ως ο φονευων ανθρωπον? οστις θυσιαζει αρνιον, ως ο κοπτων κυνος λαιμον? οστις προσφερει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων, ως προσφερων αιμα χοιρειον? οστις θυσιαζει, ως ο ευλογων ειδωλον. Ναι, αυτοι εξελεξαν τας οδους αυτων, και η ψυχη αυτων ηδυνεται εις τα βδελυγματα αυτων.
4 Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.	4 Και εγω λοιπον θελω εκλεξει τα εις αυτους ολεθρια και θελω φερει επ' αυτους οσα φοβουνται? διοτι εκαλουν και ουδεις απεκρινετο? ελαλουν και δεν ηκουον? αλλ' επραττον το κακον ενωπιον μου και εξελεγον το μη αρεστον εις εμε.
5 Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.	5 Ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου, σεις οι τρεμοντες τον λογον αυτου? οι αδελφοι σας, οιτινες σας μισουσι και σας αποβαλλουσιν ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, ειπαν, Ας δοξασθη ο Κυριος? πλην αυτος θελει φανη εις χαραν σας, εκεινοι δε θελουσι καταισχυνθη.
6 A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!	6 Φωνη κραυγης ερχεται εκ της πολεως, φωνη εκ του ναου, φωνη του Κυριου, οστις καμνει ανταποδοσιν εις τους εχθρους αυτου.
7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.	7 Πριν κοιλοπονηση, εγεννησε? πριν ελθωσιν οι πονοι αυτης, ηλευθερωθη και εγεννησεν αρσενικον.
8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.	8 Τις ηκουσε τοιουτον πραγμα; τις ειδε τοιαυτα; ηθελε γεννησει η γη εν μια ημερα; η εθνος ηθελε γεννηθη ενταυτω αλλ' η Σιων αμα εκοιλοπονησεν, εγεννησε τα τεκνα αυτης.
9 Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?	9 Εγω, ο φερων εις την γενναν, δεν ηθελον καμει να γεννηση; λεγει Κυριος? εγω, ο καμνων να γεννωσιν, ηθελον κλεισει την μητραν; λεγει ο Θεος σου.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all you who love her! Rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her!	10 Ευφρανθητε μετα της Ιερουσαλημ και αγαλλεσθε μετ' αυτης, παντες οι αγαπωντες αυτην? χαρητε χαραν μετ' αυτης, παντες οι πενθουντες δι' αυτην?
11 So may you nurse and be filled, from the breasts of her consolations. So may you receive milk and overflow with delights, from every portion of her glory.	11 δια να θηλασητε και να χορτασθητε απο των μαστων των παρηγοριων αυτης? δια να εκθηλασητε και να εντρυφησητε εις την αφθονιαν της δοξης αυτης.
12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will turn a river of peace toward her, with an inundating torrent: the glory of the Gentiles, from which you will nurse. You will be carried at the breasts, and they will caress you upon the knees.	12 διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, εις αυτην θελω στρεψει την ειρηνην ως ποταμον, και την δοξαν των εθνων ως χειμαρρον πλημμυρουντα? τοτε θελετε θηλασει, θελετε βασταχθη επι των πλευρων και κολακευθη επι των γονατων αυτης.
13 In the manner of one whom a mother caresses, so will I console you. And you will be consoled in Jerusalem.	13 Ως παιδιον, το οποιον παρηγορει η μητηρ αυτου, ουτως εγω θελω σας παρηγορησει? και θελετε παρηγορηθη εν τη Ιερουσαλημ.
14 You will see, and your heart will be glad, and your bones will flourish like a plant, and the hand of the Lord will be known to his servants, and he will be angry with his enemies.	14 Και θελετε ιδει, και η καρδια σας θελει ευφρανθη και τα οστα σας θελουσιν ανθησει ως χορτος? και η χειρ του Κυριου θελει γνωρισθη προς τους δουλους αυτου, η δε οργη προς τους εχθρους αυτου.
15 For behold, the Lord will arrive with fire, and his four-horse chariots will be like a whirlwind: to render his wrath with indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.	15 Διοτι, ιδου, ο Κυριος θελει ελθει εν πυρι, και αι αμαξαι αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι ως ανεμοστροβιλος, δια να αποδωση την οργην αυτου με ορμην και την επιτιμησιν αυτου με φλογας πυρος.
16 For the Lord will divide with fire, and with his sword among all flesh, and those slain by the Lord will be many.	16 Διοτι εν πυρι Κυριου και εν τη μαχαιρα αυτου θελει κριθη πασα σαρξ, και οι πεφονευμενοι του Κυριου θελουσιν εισθαι πολλοι.
17 Those who were sanctified, who thought themselves to be clean in the gardens behind the inner gate, who were eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they will be consumed all at once, says the Lord.	17 Οι αγιαζομενοι και καθαριζομενοι εν τοις κηποις ο εις κατοπιν του αλλου αναφανδον, τρωγοντες χοιρειον κρεας και τα βδελυγματα και τον ποντικον, ουτοι θελουσι καταναλωθη ομου, λεγει Κυριος.
18 But I know their works and their thoughts. I am arriving, so that I may gather them together with all nations and languages. And they will approach, and they will see my glory.	18 Διοτι εγω εξευρω τα εργα αυτων και τους διαλογισμους αυτων? και ερχομαι δια να συναξω παντα τα εθνη και τας γλωσσας? και θελουσιν ελθει και ιδει την δοξαν μου.
19 And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.	19 Και θελω στησει σημειον μεταξυ αυτων? και τους σεσωσμενους εξ αυτων θελω εξαποστειλει εις τα εθνη, εις Θαρσεις, Φουλ και Λουδ, οιτινες συρουσι τοξον, εις Θουβαλ και Ιαυαν, εις τας νησους τας μακραν, οιτινες δεν ηκουσαν την φημην μου ουδε ειδον την δοξαν μου? και θελουσι κηρυξει την δοξαν μου μεταξυ των εθνων.
20 And they will lead all of your brothers from all of the Gentiles as a gift to the Lord, on horses, and in four-horse chariots, and on stretchers, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, in the same manner that the sons of Israel would carry an offering in a pure vessel into the house of the Lord.	20 Και θελουσι φερει παντας τους αδελφους σας εκ παντων των εθνων προσφοραν εις τον Κυριον, επι ιππων και επι αμαξων και επι φορειων και επι ημιονων και επι ταχυδρομων ζωων, προς το αγιον μου ορος, την Ιερουσαλημ, λεγει Κυριος, καθως τα τεκνα του Ισραηλ φερουσι την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν εν καθαρω αγγειω προς τον οικον του Κυριου.
21 And I will take from them to be priests and Levites, says the Lord.	21 Και προσετι θελω λαβει εξ αυτων ιερεις και Λευιτας, λεγει Κυριος.
22 For in like manner as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will cause to stand before me, says the Lord, so will your offspring and your name stand.	22 Διοτι ως οι νεοι ουρανοι και η νεα γη, τα οποια εγω θελω καμει, θελουσι διαμενει ενωπιον μου, λεγει Κυριος, ουτω θελει διαμενει το σπερμα σας και το ονομα σας.
23 And there will be month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath. And all flesh will approach, so as to adore before my face, says the Lord.	23 Και απο νεας σεληνης εως αλλης και απο σαββατου εως αλλου θελει ερχεσθαι πασα σαρξ δια να προσκυνη ενωπιον μου, λεγει Κυριος.
24 And they will go out, and they will view the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not be extinguished. And they will be a sight to all flesh even unto revulsion.	24 Και θελουσιν εξελθει και ιδει τα κωλα των ανθρωπων, οιτινες εσταθησαν παραβαται εναντιον μου? διοτι ο σκωληξ αυτων δεν θελει τελευτησει και το πυρ αυτων δεν θελει σβεσθη? και θελουσιν εισθαι βδελυγμα εις πασαν σαρκα.
