Isaiah 66

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Thus says Yahweh: With heaven my throne and earth my footstool, what house could you build me,what place for me to rest,	1 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ουρανος μοι θρονος η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι η ποιος τοπος της καταπαυσεως μου
2 when al these things were made by me and al belong to me? - declares Yahweh. But my eyes aredrawn to the person of humbled and contrite spirit, who trembles at my word.	2 παντα γαρ ταυτα εποιησεν η χειρ μου και εστιν εμα παντα ταυτα λεγει κυριος και επι τινα επιβλεψω αλλ' η επι τον ταπεινον και ησυχιον και τρεμοντα τους λογους μου
3 Some slaughter a bul , some kill a human being, some sacrifice a lamb, some strangle a dog, somepresent an offering of pig's blood, some burn memorial incense, a revolting blessing; al these people havechosen their own ways and take delight in their disgusting practices.	3 ο δε ανομος ο θυων μοι μοσχον ως ο αποκτεννων κυνα ο δε αναφερων σεμιδαλιν ως αιμα υειον ο διδους λιβανον εις μνημοσυνον ως βλασφημος και ουτοι εξελεξαντο τας οδους αυτων και τα βδελυγματα αυτων α η ψυχη αυτων ηθελησεν
4 I too take delight in making fools of them, I shal bring what they most fear down on them because Ihave called and no one would answer, I spoke and no one listened. They have done what I regard as evil, havechosen what displeases me.	4 καγω εκλεξομαι τα εμπαιγματα αυτων και τας αμαρτιας ανταποδωσω αυτοις οτι εκαλεσα αυτους και ουχ υπηκουσαν μου ελαλησα και ουκ ηκουσαν και εποιησαν το πονηρον εναντιον μου και α ουκ εβουλομην εξελεξαντο
5 Listen to the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate and reject youbecause of my name, have said, 'Let Yahweh show his glory, let us witness your joy!' But they will be put toshame.	5 ακουσατε το ρημα κυριου οι τρεμοντες τον λογον αυτου ειπατε αδελφοι ημων τοις μισουσιν ημας και βδελυσσομενοις ινα το ονομα κυριου δοξασθη και οφθη εν τη ευφροσυνη αυτων κακεινοι αισχυνθησονται
6 Listen! An uproar from the city! A voice from the Temple! The voice of Yahweh bringing retribution onhis enemies.	6 φωνη κραυγης εκ πολεως φωνη εκ ναου φωνη κυριου ανταποδιδοντος ανταποδοσιν τοις αντικειμενοις
7 Before being in labour she has given birth. Before the birth pangs came, she has been delivered of achild.	7 πριν η την ωδινουσαν τεκειν πριν ελθειν τον πονον των ωδινων εξεφυγεν και ετεκεν αρσεν
8 Who ever heard of such a thing, who ever saw anything like this? Can a country be born in one day?Can a nation be brought forth al at once? For Zion, scarcely in labour, has brought forth her children!	8 τις ηκουσεν τοιουτο και τις εωρακεν ουτως η ωδινεν γη εν μια ημερα η και ετεχθη εθνος εις απαξ οτι ωδινεν και ετεκεν σιων τα παιδια αυτης
9 Shal I open the womb and not bring to birth? says Yahweh. Shall I, who bring to birth, close the womb?says your God.	9 εγω δε εδωκα την προσδοκιαν ταυτην και ουκ εμνησθης μου ειπεν κυριος ουκ ιδου εγω γεννωσαν και στειραν εποιησα ειπεν ο θεος
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, be glad for her, al you who love her! Rejoice, rejoice with her, al you whomourned her!	10 ευφρανθητι ιερουσαλημ και πανηγυρισατε εν αυτη παντες οι αγαπωντες αυτην χαρητε χαρα παντες οσοι πενθειτε επ' αυτης
11 So that you may be suckled and satisfied from her consoling breast, so that you may drink deep withdelight from her generous nipple.	11 ινα θηλασητε και εμπλησθητε απο μαστου παρακλησεως αυτης ινα εκθηλασαντες τρυφησητε απο εισοδου δοξης αυτης
12 For Yahweh says this: Look, I am going to send peace flowing over her like a river, and like a streamin spate the glory of the nations. You wil be suckled, carried on her hip and fondled in her lap.	12 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω εκκλινω εις αυτους ως ποταμος ειρηνης και ως χειμαρρους επικλυζων δοξαν εθνων τα παιδια αυτων επ' ωμων αρθησονται και επι γονατων παρακληθησονται
13 As a mother comforts a child, so I shal comfort you; you wil be comforted in Jerusalem.	13 ως ει τινα μητηρ παρακαλεσει ουτως και εγω παρακαλεσω υμας και εν ιερουσαλημ παρακληθησεσθε
14 At the sight your heart wil rejoice, and your limbs regain vigour like the grass. To his servants Yahwehwil reveal his hand, but to his enemies his fury.	14 και οψεσθε και χαρησεται υμων η καρδια και τα οστα υμων ως βοτανη ανατελει και γνωσθησεται η χειρ κυριου τοις σεβομενοις αυτον και απειλησει τοις απειθουσιν
15 For see how Yahweh comes in fire, his chariots like the whirlwind, to assuage his anger with burning,his rebukes with flaming fire.	15 ιδου γαρ κυριος ως πυρ ηξει και ως καταιγις τα αρματα αυτου αποδουναι εν θυμω εκδικησιν και αποσκορακισμον εν φλογι πυρος
16 For by fire wil Yahweh execute fair judgement, and by his sword, on all people; and Yahweh's victimswil be many.	16 εν γαρ τω πυρι κυριου κριθησεται πασα η γη και εν τη ρομφαια αυτου πασα σαρξ πολλοι τραυματιαι εσονται υπο κυριου
17 As for those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to enter the gardens, fol owing the one inthe centre, who eat the flesh of pigs, revolting things and rats: their deeds and their thoughts will perish together,declares Yahweh.	17 οι αγνιζομενοι και καθαριζομενοι εις τους κηπους και εν τοις προθυροις εσθοντες κρεας υειον και τα βδελυγματα και τον νυν επι το αυτο αναλωθησονται ειπεν κυριος
18 I am coming to gather every nation and every language. They wil come to witness my glory.	18 καγω τα εργα αυτων και τον λογισμον αυτων επισταμαι ερχομαι συναγαγειν παντα τα εθνη και τας γλωσσας και ηξουσιν και οψονται την δοξαν μου
19 I shal give them a sign and send some of their survivors to the nations: to Tarshish, Put, Lud,Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coasts and islands that have never heard of me or seen my glory.They wil proclaim my glory to the nations,	19 και καταλειψω επ' αυτων σημεια και εξαποστελω εξ αυτων σεσωσμενους εις τα εθνη εις θαρσις και φουδ και λουδ και μοσοχ και θοβελ και εις την ελλαδα και εις τας νησους τας πορρω οι ουκ ακηκοασιν μου το ονομα ουδε εωρακασιν την δοξαν μου και αναγγελουσιν μου την δοξαν εν τοις εθνεσιν
20 and from al the nations they wil bring al your brothers as an offering to Yahweh, on horses, inchariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to my holy mountain, Jerusalem, Yahweh says, like Israelitesbringing offerings in clean vessels to Yahweh's house.	20 και αξουσιν τους αδελφους υμων εκ παντων των εθνων δωρον κυριω μεθ' ιππων και αρματων εν λαμπηναις ημιονων μετα σκιαδιων εις την αγιαν πολιν ιερουσαλημ ειπεν κυριος ως αν ενεγκαισαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εμοι τας θυσιας αυτων μετα ψαλμων εις τον οικον κυριου
21 And some of them I shal make into priests and Levites, Yahweh says.	21 και απ' αυτων λημψομαι εμοι ιερεις και λευιτας ειπεν κυριος
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth I am making wil endure before me, declares Yahweh, sowil your race and your name endure.	22 ον τροπον γαρ ο ουρανος καινος και η γη καινη α εγω ποιω μενει ενωπιον μου λεγει κυριος ουτως στησεται το σπερμα υμων και το ονομα υμων
23 From New Moon to New Moon, from Sabbath to Sabbath, al humanity wil come and bow in mypresence, Yahweh says.	23 και εσται μηνα εκ μηνος και σαββατον εκ σαββατου ηξει πασα σαρξ ενωπιον μου προσκυνησαι εν ιερουσαλημ ειπεν κυριος
24 And on their way out they wil see the corpses of those who rebelled against me; for their worm wilnever die nor their fire be put out, and they wil be held in horror by al humanity.	24 και εξελευσονται και οψονται τα κωλα των ανθρωπων των παραβεβηκοτων εν εμοι ο γαρ σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτησει και το πυρ αυτων ου σβεσθησεται και εσονται εις ορασιν παση σαρκι .
