ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 42

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ιδου, ο δουλος μου, τον οποιον υπεστηριξα? ο εκλεκτος μου, εις τον οποιον η ψυχη μου ευηρεστηθη? εθεσα το πνευμα μου επ' αυτον? θελει εξαγγειλει κρισιν εις τα εθνη.	1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 Δεν θελει φωναξει ουδε θελει ανακραξει ουδε θελει καμει την φωνην αυτου να ακουσθη εν ταις οδοις.	2 He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 Καλαμον συντεθλασμενον δεν θελει συντριψει και λιναριον καπνιζον δεν θελει σβυσει? θελει εκφερει κρισιν εν αληθεια.	3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
4 Δεν θελει εκλιπει ουδε θελει μικροψυχησει, εωσου βαλη κρισιν εν τη γη? και αι νησοι θελουσι προσμενει τον νομον αυτου.	4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
5 Ουτω λεγει ο Θεος ο Κυριος, ο ποιησας τους ουρανους και εκτεινας αυτους? ο στερεωσας την γην και τα γεννωμενα εξ αυτης? ο διδους πνοην εις τον λαον τον επ' αυτης και πνευμα εις τους περιπατουντας επ' αυτης?	5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
6 Εγω ο Κυριος σε εκαλεσα εν δικαιοσυνη, και θελω κρατει την χειρα σου και θελω σε φυλαττει και θελω σε καταστησει διαθηκην του λαου, φως των εθνων?	6 I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 δια να ανοιξης τους οφθαλμους των τυφλων, να εκβαλης τους δεσμιους εκ των δεσμων, τους καθημενους εν σκοτει εκ του οικου της φυλακης.	7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος? τουτο ειναι το ονομα μου? και δεν θελω δωσει την δοξαν μου εις αλλον ουδε την αινεσιν μου εις τα γλυπτα.	8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Ιδου, ηλθον τα απ' αρχης? και εγω αναγγελλω νεα πραγματα? πριν εκφυωσι, λαλω περι αυτων εις εσας.	9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
10 Ψαλλετε εις τον Κυριον ασμα νεον, την δοξαν αυτου εκ των ακρων της γης, σεις οι καταβαινοντες εις την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτη? αι νησοι και οι κατοικουντες αυτας.	10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Η ερημος και αι πολεις αυτης ας υψωσωσι φωνην, αι κωμαι τας οποιας κατοικει ο Κηδαρ? ας ψαλλωσιν οι κατοικοι της Σελα, ας αλαλαζωσιν εκ των κορυφων των ορεων.	11 Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 Ας δωσωσι δοξαν εις τον Κυριον και ας αναγγειλωσι την αινεσιν αυτου εν ταις νησοις.	12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
13 Ο Κυριος θελει εξελθει ως ισχυρος? θελει διεγειρει ζηλον ως πολεμιστης? θελει φωναξει, μαλιστα θελει βρυχησει, θελει υπερισχυσει κατα των πολεμιων αυτου.	13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 Απο πολλου εσιωπησα? θελω μεινει ησυχος; θελω κρατησει εμαυτον; τωρα θελω φωναξει ως η τικτουσα? θελω καταστρεψει και καταπιει ομου.	14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
15 Θελω ερημωσει ορη και λοφους και καταξηρανει παντα τον χορτον αυτων? και θελω καταστησει τους ποταμους νησους και τας λιμνας θελω ξηρανει.	15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
16 Και θελω φερει τους τυφλους δι' οδου την οποιαν δεν ηξευρον, θελω οδηγησει αυτους εις τριβους τας οποιας δεν εγνωριζον? το σκοτος θελω καμει φως εμπροσθεν αυτων και τα σκολια ευθεα. Ταυτα τα πραγματα θελω καμει εις αυτους και δεν θελω εγκαταλειψει αυτους.	16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 Εστραφησαν εις τα οπισω, κατησχυνθησαν οι θαρρουντες επι τα γλυπτα, οι λεγοντες προς τα χωνευτα, σεις εισθε οι θεοι ημων.	17 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 Ακουσατε, κωφοι? και ανοιξατε τους οφθαλμους σας, τυφλοι, δια να ιδητε.	18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19 Τις τυφλος, παρα ο δουλος μου; η κωφος, παρα ο μηνυτης μου, τον οποιον απεστειλα; τις τυφλος, παρα ο τελειος; και τις τυφλος, παρα ο δουλος του Κυριου;	19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 Βλεπεις πολλα αλλα δεν παρατηρεις? ανοιγεις τα ωτα αλλα δεν ακουεις.	20 You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 Ο Κυριος ευνοησε προς αυτον ενεκεν της δικαιοσυνης αυτου? θελει μεγαλυνει τον νομον αυτου και καταστησει εντιμον.	21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22 Πλην αυτος ειναι λαος διηρπαγμενος και γεγυμνωμενος? ειναι παντες πεπαγιδευμενοι εν σπηλαιοις και κεκρυμμενοι εν ταις φυλακαις? ειναι λαφυρον και δεν υπαρχει ο λυτρονων? διαρπαγμα, και ουδεις ο λεγων, Επιστρεψον αυτο.	22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 Τις απο σας θελει δωσει ακροασιν εις τουτο; θελει προσεξει και ακουσει εις το μετα ταυτα;	23 Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24 Τις παρεδωκε τον Ιακωβ εις διαρπαγην και τον Ισραηλ εις λεηλατιστας; ουχι ο Κυριος, αυτος εις τον οποιον ημαρτησαμεν; διοτι δεν ηθελησαν να περιπατησωσιν εν ταις οδοις αυτου ουδε υπηκουσαν εις τον νομον αυτου.	24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? It is not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
25 Δια τουτο εξεχεεν επ' αυτον την σφοδροτητα της οργης αυτου και την ορμην του πολεμου? και συνεφλεξεν αυτον πανταχοθεν αλλ' αυτος δεν ενοησε? και εκαυσεν αυτον αλλ' αυτος δεν εβαλε τουτο εν τη καρδια αυτου.	25 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
