Isaiah 50

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Thus says Yahweh: Where is your mother's writ of divorce by which I repudiated her? Or to which ofmy creditors have I sold you? Look, you have been sold for your own misdeeds, your mother was repudiated foryour acts of rebel ion.	1 ουτως λεγει κυριος ποιον το βιβλιον του αποστασιου της μητρος υμων ω εξαπεστειλα αυτην η τινι υποχρεω πεπρακα υμας ιδου ταις αμαρτιαις υμων επραθητε και ταις ανομιαις υμων εξαπεστειλα την μητερα υμων
2 Why was there no one there when I came? Why did no one answer when I cal ed? Is my hand too shortto redeem? Have I not strength to save? Look, with a threat I can dry the sea, and turn rivers to desert; the fishin them go rotten for want of water and die of thirst.	2 τι οτι ηλθον και ουκ ην ανθρωπος εκαλεσα και ουκ ην ο υπακουων μη ουκ ισχυει η χειρ μου του ρυσασθαι η ουκ ισχυω του εξελεσθαι ιδου τη απειλη μου εξερημωσω την θαλασσαν και θησω ποταμους ερημους και ξηρανθησονται οι ιχθυες αυτων απο του μη ειναι υδωρ και αποθανουνται εν διψει
3 I dress the heavens in black, I cover them in sackcloth.	3 και ενδυσω τον ουρανον σκοτος και θησω ως σακκον το περιβολαιον αυτου
4 Lord Yahweh has given me a disciple's tongue, for me to know how to give a word of comfort to theweary. Morning by morning he makes my ear alert to listen like a disciple.	4 κυριος διδωσιν μοι γλωσσαν παιδειας του γνωναι εν καιρω ηνικα δει ειπειν λογον εθηκεν μοι πρωι προσεθηκεν μοι ωτιον ακουειν
5 Lord Yahweh has opened my ear and I have not resisted, I have not turned away.	5 και η παιδεια κυριου ανοιγει μου τα ωτα εγω δε ουκ απειθω ουδε αντιλεγω
6 I have offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; I have notturned my face away from insult and spitting.	6 τον νωτον μου δεδωκα εις μαστιγας τας δε σιαγονας μου εις ραπισματα το δε προσωπον μου ουκ απεστρεψα απο αισχυνης εμπτυσματων
7 Lord Yahweh comes to my help, this is why insult has not touched me, this is why I have set my facelike flint and know that I shal not be put to shame.	7 και κυριος βοηθος μου εγενηθη δια τουτο ουκ ενετραπην αλλα εθηκα το προσωπον μου ως στερεαν πετραν και εγνων οτι ου μη αισχυνθω
8 He who grants me saving justice is near! Who wil bring a case against me? Let us appear in courttogether! Who has a case against me? Let him approach me!	8 οτι εγγιζει ο δικαιωσας με τις ο κρινομενος μοι αντιστητω μοι αμα και τις ο κρινομενος μοι εγγισατω μοι
9 Look, Lord Yahweh is coming to my help! Who dares condemn me? Look at them, al fal ing apart likemoth-eaten clothes!	9 ιδου κυριος βοηθει μοι τις κακωσει με ιδου παντες υμεις ως ιματιον παλαιωθησεσθε και ως σης καταφαγεται υμας
10 Which of you fears Yahweh and listens to his servant's voice? Which of you walks in darkness andsees no light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh and lean on his God!	10 τις εν υμιν ο φοβουμενος τον κυριον ακουσατω της φωνης του παιδος αυτου οι πορευομενοι εν σκοτει ουκ εστιν αυτοις φως πεποιθατε επι τω ονοματι κυριου και αντιστηρισασθε επι τω θεω
11 Look, al you who light a fire and arm yourselves with firebrands, walk by the light of your fire and thefirebrands you have kindled! This is what you will get from me: you wil lie down in torment!	11 ιδου παντες υμεις πυρ καιετε και κατισχυετε φλογα πορευεσθε τω φωτι του πυρος υμων και τη φλογι η εξεκαυσατε δι' εμε εγενετο ταυτα υμιν εν λυπη κοιμηθησεσθε
