Isaiah 49

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Hear me, O coastlands, listen, O distant peoples. The LORD called me from birth, from my mother's womb he gave me my name.	1 ακουσατε μου νησοι και προσεχετε εθνη δια χρονου πολλου στησεται λεγει κυριος εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου εκαλεσεν το ονομα μου
2 He made of me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of his arm. He made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me.	2 και εθηκεν το στομα μου ωσει μαχαιραν οξειαν και υπο την σκεπην της χειρος αυτου εκρυψεν με εθηκεν με ως βελος εκλεκτον και εν τη φαρετρα αυτου εσκεπασεν με
3 You are my servant, he said to me, Israel, through whom I show my glory.	3 και ειπεν μοι δουλος μου ει συ ισραηλ και εν σοι δοξασθησομαι
4 Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength, Yet my reward is with the LORD, my recompense is with my God.	4 και εγω ειπα κενως εκοπιασα και εις ματαιον και εις ουδεν εδωκα την ισχυν μου δια τουτο η κρισις μου παρα κυριω και ο πονος μου εναντιον του θεου μου
5 For now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb, That Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him; And I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength!	5 και νυν ουτως λεγει κυριος ο πλασας με εκ κοιλιας δουλον εαυτω του συναγαγειν τον ιακωβ και ισραηλ προς αυτον συναχθησομαι και δοξασθησομαι εναντιον κυριου και ο θεος μου εσται μου ισχυς
6 It is too little, he says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.	6 και ειπεν μοι μεγα σοι εστιν του κληθηναι σε παιδα μου του στησαι τας φυλας ιακωβ και την διασποραν του ισραηλ επιστρεψαι ιδου τεθεικα σε εις διαθηκην γενους εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης
7 Thus says the LORD, the redeemer and the Holy One of Israel, To the one despised, whom the nations abhor, the slave of rulers: When kings see you, they shall stand up, and princes shall prostrate themselves Because of the LORD who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.	7 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ρυσαμενος σε ο θεος ισραηλ αγιασατε τον φαυλιζοντα την ψυχην αυτου τον βδελυσσομενον υπο των εθνων των δουλων των αρχοντων βασιλεις οψονται αυτον και αναστησονται αρχοντες και προσκυνησουσιν αυτω ενεκεν κυριου οτι πιστος εστιν ο αγιος ισραηλ και εξελεξαμην σε
8 Thus says the LORD: In a time of favor I answer you, on the day of salvation I help you, To restore the land and allot the desolate heritages,	8 ουτως λεγει κυριος καιρω δεκτω επηκουσα σου και εν ημερα σωτηριας εβοηθησα σοι και εδωκα σε εις διαθηκην εθνων του καταστησαι την γην και κληρονομησαι κληρονομιαν ερημου
9 Saying to the prisoners: Come out! To those in darkness: Show yourselves! Along the ways they shall find pasture, on every bare height shall their pastures be.	9 λεγοντα τοις εν δεσμοις εξελθατε και τοις εν τω σκοτει ανακαλυφθηναι και εν πασαις ταις οδοις αυτων βοσκηθησονται και εν πασαις ταις τριβοις η νομη αυτων
10 They shall not hunger or thirst, nor shall the scorching wind or the sun strike them; For he who pities them leads them and guides them beside springs of water.	10 ου πεινασουσιν ουδε διψησουσιν ουδε παταξει αυτους καυσων ουδε ο ηλιος αλλα ο ελεων αυτους παρακαλεσει και δια πηγων υδατων αξει αυτους
11 I will cut a road through all my mountains, and make my highways level.	11 και θησω παν ορος εις οδον και πασαν τριβον εις βοσκημα αυτοις
12 See, some shall come from afar, others from the north and the west, and some from the land of Syene.	12 ιδου ουτοι πορρωθεν ερχονται ουτοι απο βορρα και ουτοι απο θαλασσης αλλοι δε εκ γης περσων
13 Sing out, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, break forth into song, you mountains. For the LORD comforts his people and shows mercy to his afflicted.	13 ευφραινεσθε ουρανοι και αγαλλιασθω η γη ρηξατωσαν τα ορη ευφροσυνην και οι βουνοι δικαιοσυνην οτι ηλεησεν ο θεος τον λαον αυτου και τους ταπεινους του λαου αυτου παρεκαλεσεν
14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me."	14 ειπεν δε σιων εγκατελιπεν με κυριος και ο κυριος επελαθετο μου
15 Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you.	15 μη επιλησεται γυνη του παιδιου αυτης του μη ελεησαι τα εκγονα της κοιλιας αυτης ει δε και επιλαθοιτο ταυτα γυνη αλλ' εγω ουκ επιλησομαι σου ειπεν κυριος
16 See, upon the palms of my hands I have written your name; your walls are ever before me.	16 ιδου επι των χειρων μου εζωγραφησα σου τα τειχη και ενωπιον μου ει δια παντος
17 Your rebuilders make haste, as those who tore you down and laid you waste go forth from you;	17 και ταχυ οικοδομηθηση υφ' ων καθηρεθης και οι ερημωσαντες σε εκ σου εξελευσονται
18 Look about and see, they are all gathering and coming to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall be arrayed with them all as with adornments, like a bride you shall fasten them on you.	18 αρον κυκλω τους οφθαλμους σου και ιδε παντας ιδου συνηχθησαν και ηλθοσαν προς σε ζω εγω λεγει κυριος οτι παντας αυτους ενδυση και περιθηση αυτους ως κοσμον νυμφης
19 Though you were waste and desolate, a land of ruins, Now you shall be too small for your inhabitants, while those who swallowed you up will be far away.	19 οτι τα ερημα σου και τα διεφθαρμενα και τα πεπτωκοτα νυν στενοχωρησει απο των κατοικουντων και μακρυνθησονται απο σου οι καταπινοντες σε
20 The children whom you had lost shall yet say to you, "This place is too small for me, make room for me to live in."	20 ερουσιν γαρ εις τα ωτα σου οι υιοι σου ους απολωλεκας στενος μοι ο τοπος ποιησον μοι τοπον ινα κατοικησω
21 You shall ask yourself: "Who has borne me these? I was bereft and barren (exiled and repudiated); who has reared them? I was left all alone; where then do these come from?"	21 και ερεις εν τη καρδια σου τις εγεννησεν μοι τουτους εγω δε ατεκνος και χηρα τουτους δε τις εξεθρεψεν μοι εγω δε κατελειφθην μονη ουτοι δε μοι που ησαν
22 Thus says the Lord GOD: See, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.	22 ουτως λεγει κυριος ιδου αιρω εις τα εθνη την χειρα μου και εις τας νησους αρω συσσημον μου και αξουσιν τους υιους σου εν κολπω τας δε θυγατερας σου επ' ωμων αρουσιν
23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, their princesses your nurses; Bowing to the ground, they shall worship you and lick the dust at your feet. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, and those who hope in me shall never be disappointed.	23 και εσονται βασιλεις τιθηνοι σου αι δε αρχουσαι τροφοι σου επι προσωπον της γης προσκυνησουσιν σοι και τον χουν των ποδων σου λειξουσιν και γνωση οτι εγω κυριος και ουκ αισχυνθηση
24 Thus says the LORD: Can booty be taken from a warrior? or captives be rescued from a tyrant?	24 μη λημψεται τις παρα γιγαντος σκυλα και εαν αιχμαλωτευση τις αδικως σωθησεται
25 Yes, captives can be taken from a warrior, and booty be rescued from a tyrant; Those who oppose you I will oppose, and your sons I will save.	25 ουτως λεγει κυριος εαν τις αιχμαλωτευση γιγαντα λημψεται σκυλα λαμβανων δε παρα ισχυοντος σωθησεται εγω δε την κρισιν σου κρινω και εγω τους υιους σου ρυσομαι
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with the juice of the grape. All mankind shall know that I, the LORD, am your savior, your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.	26 και φαγονται οι θλιψαντες σε τας σαρκας αυτων και πιονται ως οινον νεον το αιμα αυτων και μεθυσθησονται και αισθανθησεται πασα σαρξ οτι εγω κυριος ο ρυσαμενος σε και αντιλαμβανομενος ισχυος ιακωβ
