ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 6

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Κατα το ετος εν ω απεθανεν Οζιας ο βασιλευς, ειδον τον Κυριον καθημενον επι θρονου υψηλου και επηρμενου, και το κρασπεδον αυτου εγεμισε τον ναον.	1 In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
2 Ανωθεν αυτου ισταντο Σεραφειμ ανα εξ πτερυγας εχοντα εκαστον με τας δυο εκαλυπτε το προσωπον αυτου και με τας δυο εκαλυπτε τους ποδας αυτου και με τας δυο επετα.	2 The Seraphims were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
3 Και εκραζε το εν προς το αλλο και ελεγεν, Αγιος, αγιος, αγιος ο Κυριος των δυναμεων πασα η γη ειναι πληρης της δοξης αυτου.	3 And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
4 Και οι παρασταται της θυρας εσεισθησαν εκ της φωνης του κραζοντος, και ο οικος επλησθη καπνου.	4 And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 Τοτε ειπα, Ω ταλας εγω διοτι εχαθην επειδη ειμαι ανθρωπος ακαθαρτων χειλεων και κατοικω εν μεσω λαου ακαθαρτων χειλεων επειδη οι οφθαλμοι μου ειδον τον Βασιλεα, τον Κυριον των δυναμεων.	5 And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”
6 Τοτε επετασε προς εμε εν εκ των Σεραφειμ εχον εν τη χειρι αυτου ανθρακα πυρος, τον οποιον ελαβε δια της λαβιδος απο του θυσιαστηριου.	6 And one of the Seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 Και ηγγισεν αυτον εις το στομα μου και ειπεν, Ιδου, τουτο ηγγισε τα χειλη σου και η ανομια σου εξηλειφθη και η αμαρτια σου εκαθαρισθη.	7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”
8 Και ηκουσα την φωνην του Κυριου, λεγοντος, Τινα θελω αποστειλει, και τις θελει υπαγει δια ημας; Τοτε ειπα, Ιδου, εγω, αποστειλον με.	8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”
9 Και ειπεν, Υπαγε και ειπε προς τουτον τον λαον, με την ακοην θελετε ακουσει και δεν θελετε εννοησει και βλεποντες θελετε ιδει και δεν θελετε καταλαβει	9 And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’
10 επαχυνθη η καρδια του λαου τουτου, και εγειναν βαρεα τα ωτα αυτων, και εκλεισαν τους οφθαλμους αυτων, δια να μη βλεπωσι με τους οφθαλμους αυτων και ακουωσι με τα ωτα αυτων και νοησωσι με την καρδιαν αυτων και επιστρεψωσι και θεραπευθωσι.	10 Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”
11 Τοτε ειπα, Κυριε, εως ποτε; Και απεκριθη, Εωσου ερημωθωσιν αι πολεις, ωστε να μη υπαρχη κατοικος, και αι οικιαι, ωστε να μη υπαρχη ανθρωπος, και η γη να ερημωθη πανταπασιν	11 And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”
12 και απομακρυνη ο Κυριος τους ανθρωπους, και γεινη μεγαλη εγκαταλειψις εν τω μεσω της γης.	12 For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.
13 Ετι ομως θελει μεινει εν αυτη εν δεκατον, και αυτο παλιν θελει καταφαγωθη καθως η τερεβινθος και η δρυς, των οποιων ο κορμος μενει εν αυταις οταν κοπτωνται, ουτω το αγιον σπερμα θελει εισθαι ο κορμος αυτης.	13 But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.
