Isaiah 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Descend, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground. There is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called delicate and tender.	1 Καταβα και καθησον επι του χωματος, παρθενε θυγατηρ της Βαβυλωνος? καθησον κατα γης? θρονος πλεον δεν ειναι, θυγατηρ των Χαλδαιων? διοτι δεν θελεις πλεον ονομασθη απαλη και τρυφερα.
2 Take a millstone and grind meal. Uncover your shame, bare your shoulder, reveal your legs, cross the streams.	2 Πιασον τον χειρομυλον και αλεθε αλευρον? εκκαλυψον τους πλοκαμους σου, γυμνωσον τους ποδας, εκκαλυψον τας κνημας, περασον τους ποταμους.
3 Your disgrace will be revealed, and your shame will be seen. I will seize vengeance, and no man will withstand me.	3 Η γυμνωσις σου θελει εκκαλυφθη? ναι, η αισχυνη σου θελει φανη? εκδικησιν θελω λαβει και δεν θελω φεισθη ανθρωπον.
4 Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.	4 Του Λυτρωτου ημων το ονομα ειναι, Ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Αγιος του Ισραηλ.
5 Sit in silence, and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no longer be called the noblewoman of kingdoms.	5 Καθησον σιωπωσα και εισελθε εις το σκοτος, θυγατηρ των Χαλδαιων? διοτι δεν θελεις πλεον ονομαζεσθαι, Η κυρια των βασιλειων.
6 I was angry with my people. I have polluted my inheritance, and I have given them into your hand. You have not shown mercy to them. You have greatly increased the burden of your yoke upon the elders.	6 Ωργισθην κατα του λαου μου, εμιανα την κληρονομιαν μου και παρεδωκα αυτους εις την χειρα σου? πλην συ δεν εδειξας εις αυτους ελεος? σφοδρα εβαρυνας τον ζυγον σου επι τον γεροντα.
7 And you have said: “I will be a noblewoman forever.” You have not set these things upon your heart, and you have not remembered your end.	7 Και ειπας, εις τον αιωνα θελω εισθαι κυρια? ωστε δεν εβαλες ταυτα εν τη καρδια σου ουδε ενεθυμηθης τα εσχατα αυτων.
8 And now, hear these things, you who are delicate and have confidence, who say in your heart: “I am, and there is no one greater than me. I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know barrenness.”	8 Τωρα λοιπον ακουσον τουτο, η παραδεδομενη εις τας τρυφας, η κατοικουσα αμεριμνως, η λεγουσα εν τη καρδια σου, Εγω ειμαι και εκτος εμου ουδεμια αλλη? δεν θελω καθησει χηρα και δεν θελω γνωρισει ατεκνωσιν.
9 These two things will suddenly overwhelm you in one day: barrenness and widowhood. All things shall overwhelm you, because of the multitude of your sorceries and because of the great cruelty of your enchantments.	9 Τα δυο ταυτα θελουσι βεβαιως ελθει επι σε εξαιφνης εν μια ημερα, ατεκνωσις και χηρεια? θελουσιν ελθει επι σε καθ' ολοκληριαν δια το πληθος των μαγειων σου, δια την μεγαλην αφθονιαν των γοητευματων σου?
10 And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: “There is no one who sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: “I am, and beside me there is no other.”	10 διοτι εθαρρευθης επι την πονηριαν σου και ειπας, δεν με βλεπει ουδεις. Η σοφια σου και η επιστημη σου σε απεπλανησαν? και ειπας εν τη καρδια σου, Εγω ειμαι και εκτος εμου ουδεμια αλλη.
11 Evil will overwhelm you, and you will not notice its rising. And calamity will fall violently over you, and you will not be able to avert it. You will suddenly be overwhelmed by a misery such as you have never known.	11 Δια τουτο θελει ελθει κακον επι σε, χωρις να εξευρης ποθεν γενναται? και συμφορα θελει πεσει κατα σου, χωρις να δυνασαι να αποστρεψης αυτην? και ολεθρος θελει ελθει, αιφνιδιως επι σε, χωρις να εξευρης.
12 Stand with your incantations, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if somehow it might benefit you, or as if it were able to make you stronger.	12 Στηθι τωρα με τας γοητειας σου και με το πληθος των μαγειων σου, εις τας οποιας ηγωνισθης εκ νεοτητος σου? αν δυνασαι να ωφεληθης, αν δυνασαι να υπερισχυσης.
13 You have failed in the multitude of your plans! Let the seers stand and save you, those who were contemplating the stars, and figuring the months, so that from these they might announce to you the things to come.	13 Απεκαμες εν τω πληθει των βουλων σου. Ας σηκωθωσι τωρα οι ουρανοσκοποι, οι αστρολογοι, οι μηνολογοι προγνωστικοι, και ας σε σωσωσιν εκ των επερχομενων επι σε.
14 Behold, they have become like stubble. Fire has consumed them. They will not free themselves from the power of the flames. These are not coals by which they may be warmed, nor is this a fire which they may sit beside.	14 Ιδου, θελουσιν εισθαι ως αχυρον? πυρ θελει κατακαυσει αυτους? δεν θελουσι δυνηθη να σωσωσιν εαυτους απο της δυναμεως της φλογος? δεν θελει μεινει ανθραξ δια να θερμανθη τις ουδε πυρ δια να καθηση εμπροσθεν αυτου.
15 So have all these things, in which you have labored, become to you. Your merchants from your youth, each one has erred in his own way. There is no one who can save you.	15 Τοιουτοι θελουσιν εισθαι εις σε εκεινοι, μετα των οποιων εκ νεοτητος σου εκοπιασας, οι εμποροι σου? θελουσι φυγει περιπλανωμενοι εκαστος εις το μερος αυτου? ουδεις θελει σε σωσει.
