ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 61

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 πνευμα κυριου επ' εμε ου εινεκεν εχρισεν με ευαγγελισασθαι πτωχοις απεσταλκεν με ιασασθαι τους συντετριμμενους τη καρδια κηρυξαι αιχμαλωτοις αφεσιν και τυφλοις αναβλεψιν	1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,
2 καλεσαι ενιαυτον κυριου δεκτον και ημεραν ανταποδοσεως παρακαλεσαι παντας τους πενθουντας	2 and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,
3 δοθηναι τοις πενθουσιν σιων δοξαν αντι σποδου αλειμμα ευφροσυνης τοις πενθουσιν καταστολην δοξης αντι πνευματος ακηδιας και κληθησονται γενεαι δικαιοσυνης φυτευμα κυριου εις δοξαν	3 to take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification.
4 και οικοδομησουσιν ερημους αιωνιας εξηρημωμενας προτερον εξαναστησουσιν και καινιουσιν πολεις ερημους εξηρημωμενας εις γενεας	4 And they will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation.
5 και ηξουσιν αλλογενεις ποιμαινοντες τα προβατα σου και αλλοφυλοι αροτηρες και αμπελουργοι	5 And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.
6 υμεις δε ιερεις κυριου κληθησεσθε λειτουργοι θεου ισχυν εθνων κατεδεσθε και εν τω πλουτω αυτων θαυμασθησεσθε	6 But you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.
7 ουτως εκ δευτερας κληρονομησουσιν την γην και ευφροσυνη αιωνιος υπερ κεφαλης αυτων	7 Instead of your double confusion and shame, they will praise their portion. Because of this, they will possess double in their land. Everlasting joy will be for them.
8 εγω γαρ ειμι κυριος ο αγαπων δικαιοσυνην και μισων αρπαγματα εξ αδικιας και δωσω τον μοχθον αυτων δικαιοις και διαθηκην αιωνιον διαθησομαι αυτοις	8 For I am the Lord, who loves judgment and who holds hatred for robbery within a burnt offering. And I will turn their work into truth, and I will forge a perpetual covenant with them.
9 και γνωσθησεται εν τοις εθνεσιν το σπερμα αυτων και τα εκγονα αυτων πας ο ορων αυτους επιγνωσεται αυτους οτι ουτοι εισιν σπερμα ηυλογημενον υπο θεου	9 And they will know their offspring among the nations, and their progeny in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them: that these are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10 και ευφροσυνη ευφρανθησονται επι κυριον αγαλλιασθω η ψυχη μου επι τω κυριω ενεδυσεν γαρ με ιματιον σωτηριου και χιτωνα ευφροσυνης ως νυμφιω περιεθηκεν μοι μιτραν και ως νυμφην κατεκοσμησεν με κοσμω	10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul will exult in my God. For he has clothed me with the vestments of salvation, and he has wrapped me in the clothing of justice, like a groom arrayed with a crown, and like a bride adorned with her jewels.
11 και ως γην αυξουσαν το ανθος αυτης και ως κηπος τα σπερματα αυτου ουτως ανατελει κυριος δικαιοσυνην και αγαλλιαμα εναντιον παντων των εθνων	11 For as the earth brings forth its seedlings and the garden produces its seeds, so will the Lord God bring forth justice and praise in the sight of all the nations.
