| 1 οι διψωντες πορευεσθε εφ' υδωρ και οσοι μη εχετε αργυριον βαδισαντες αγορασατε και πιετε ανευ αργυριου και τιμης οινου και στεαρ | 1 "Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. |
| 2 ινα τι τιμασθε αργυριου και τον μοχθον υμων ουκ εις πλησμονην ακουσατε μου και φαγεσθε αγαθα και εντρυφησει εν αγαθοις η ψυχη υμων | 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness. |
| 3 προσεχετε τοις ωτιοις υμων και επακολουθησατε ταις οδοις μου επακουσατε μου και ζησεται εν αγαθοις η ψυχη υμων και διαθησομαι υμιν διαθηκην αιωνιον τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα | 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. |
| 4 ιδου μαρτυριον εν εθνεσιν δεδωκα αυτον αρχοντα και προστασσοντα εθνεσιν | 4 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. |
| 5 εθνη α ουκ ηδεισαν σε επικαλεσονται σε και λαοι οι ουκ επιστανται σε επι σε καταφευξονται ενεκεν του θεου σου του αγιου ισραηλ οτι εδοξασεν σε | 5 Behold, you shall call nations that you know not, and nations that knew you not shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. |
| 6 ζητησατε τον θεον και εν τω ευρισκειν αυτον επικαλεσασθε ηνικα δ' αν εγγιζη υμιν | 6 "Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; |
| 7 απολιπετω ο ασεβης τας οδους αυτου και ανηρ ανομος τας βουλας αυτου και επιστραφητω επι κυριον και ελεηθησεται οτι επι πολυ αφησει τας αμαρτιας υμων | 7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. |
| 8 ου γαρ εισιν αι βουλαι μου ωσπερ αι βουλαι υμων ουδε ωσπερ αι οδοι υμων αι οδοι μου λεγει κυριος | 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. |
| 9 αλλ' ως απεχει ο ουρανος απο της γης ουτως απεχει η οδος μου απο των οδων υμων και τα διανοηματα υμων απο της διανοιας μου | 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. |
| 10 ως γαρ εαν καταβη υετος η χιων εκ του ουρανου και ου μη αποστραφη εως αν μεθυση την γην και εκτεκη και εκβλαστηση και δω σπερμα τω σπειροντι και αρτον εις βρωσιν | 10 "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, |
| 11 ουτως εσται το ρημα μου ο εαν εξελθη εκ του στοματος μου ου μη αποστραφη εως αν συντελεσθη οσα ηθελησα και ευοδωσω τας οδους σου και τα ενταλματα μου | 11 so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it. |
| 12 εν γαρ ευφροσυνη εξελευσεσθε και εν χαρα διδαχθησεσθε τα γαρ ορη και οι βουνοι εξαλουνται προσδεχομενοι υμας εν χαρα και παντα τα ξυλα του αγρου επικροτησει τοις κλαδοις | 12 "For you shall go out in joy, and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. |
| 13 και αντι της στοιβης αναβησεται κυπαρισσος αντι δε της κονυζης αναβησεται μυρσινη και εσται κυριος εις ονομα και εις σημειον αιωνιον και ουκ εκλειψει | 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off." |
