Isaiah 61

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 The spirit of Lord Yahweh is on me for Yahweh has anointed me. He has sent me to bring the news tothe afflicted, to soothe the broken-hearted,	1 πνευμα κυριου επ' εμε ου εινεκεν εχρισεν με ευαγγελισασθαι πτωχοις απεσταλκεν με ιασασθαι τους συντετριμμενους τη καρδια κηρυξαι αιχμαλωτοις αφεσιν και τυφλοις αναβλεψιν
2 to proclaim liberty to captives, release to those in prison, to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh anda day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all who mourn	2 καλεσαι ενιαυτον κυριου δεκτον και ημεραν ανταποδοσεως παρακαλεσαι παντας τους πενθουντας
3 (to give to Zion's mourners), to give them for ashes a garland, for mourning-dress, the oil of gladness,for despondency, festal attire; and they wil be cal ed 'terebinths of saving justice', planted by Yahweh to glorifyhim.	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
4 They wil rebuild the ancient ruins, they wil raise what has long lain waste, they wil restore the ruinedcities, al that has lain waste for ages past.	4 και οικοδομησουσιν ερημους αιωνιας εξηρημωμενας προτερον εξαναστησουσιν και καινιουσιν πολεις ερημους εξηρημωμενας εις γενεας
5 Strangers wil come forward to feed your flocks, foreigners be your ploughmen and vinedressers;	5 και ηξουσιν αλλογενεις ποιμαινοντες τα προβατα σου και αλλοφυλοι αροτηρες και αμπελουργοι
6 but you will be cal ed 'priests of Yahweh' and be addressed as 'ministers of our God'. You will feed onthe wealth of nations, you wil supplant them in their glory.	6 υμεις δε ιερεις κυριου κληθησεσθε λειτουργοι θεου ισχυν εθνων κατεδεσθε και εν τω πλουτω αυτων θαυμασθησεσθε
7 To make up for your shame, you wil receive double; instead of disgrace, shouts of joy wil be their lot;yes, they wil have a double portion in their country and everlasting joy wil be theirs.	7 ουτως εκ δευτερας κληρονομησουσιν την γην και ευφροσυνη αιωνιος υπερ κεφαλης αυτων
8 For I am Yahweh: I love fair judgement, I hate robbery and wrong-doing, and I shal reward themfaithful y and make an everlasting covenant with 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
9 Their race wil be famous throughout the nations and their offspring throughout the peoples. All whosee them wil admit that they are a race whom Yahweh has blessed.	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
10 I exult for joy in Yahweh, my soul rejoices in my God, for he has clothed me in garments of salvation,he has wrapped me in a cloak of saving justice, like a bridegroom wearing his garland, like a bride adorned inher jewels.	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
11 For as the earth sends up its shoots and a garden makes seeds sprout, so Lord Yahweh makessaving justice and praise spring up in the sight of al nations.	11 και ως γην αυξουσαν το ανθος αυτης και ως κηπος τα σπερματα αυτου ουτως ανατελει κυριος δικαιοσυνην και αγαλλιαμα εναντιον παντων των εθνων
