ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 63

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Τις ουτος, ο ερχομενος εξ Εδωμ, με ιματια ερυθρα εκ Βοσορρας; ουτος ο ενδοξος εις την στολην αυτου, ο περιπατων εν τη μεγαλειοτητι της δυναμεως αυτου; Εγω, ο λαλων εν δικαιοσυνη, ο ισχυρος εις το σωζειν.	1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah in crimson garments, so magnificently dressed, marchingso ful of strength? - It is I, whose word is saving justice, whose power is to save.
2 Δια τι ειναι ερυθρα η στολη σου και τα ιματια σου ομοια ανθρωπου πατουντος εν ληνω;	2 -Why are your garments red, your clothes like someone treading the winepress?
3 Επατησα μονος τον ληνον, και ουδεις εκ των λαων ητο μετ' εμου? και κατεπατησα αυτους εν τω θυμω μου και κατελακτισα αυτους εν τη οργη μου? και το αιμα αυτων ερραντισθη επι τα ιματια μου και εμολυνα ολην μου την στολην.	3 -I have trodden the winepress alone; of my people, not one was with me. So I trod them down in myanger, I trampled on them in my wrath. Their blood squirted over my garments and al my clothes are stained.
4 Διοτι η ημερα της εκδικησεως ητο εν τη καρδια μου, και εφθασεν ο ενιαυτος των λελυτρωμενων μου.	4 For I have decided on a day of vengeance, my year of retribution has come.
5 Και περιεβλεψα και δεν υπηρχεν ο βοηθων? και εθαυμασα οτι δεν υπηρχεν ο υποστηριζων? οθεν ο βραχιων μου ενηργησε σωτηριαν εις εμε? και ο θυμος μου, αυτος με υπεστηριξε.	5 I looked: there was no one to help me; I was appal ed but could find no supporter! Then my own armcame to my rescue and my own fury supported me.
6 Και κατεπατησα τους λαους εν τη οργη μου και εμεθυσα αυτους εκ του θυμου μου και κατεβιβασα εις την γην το αιμα αυτων.	6 I crushed the peoples in my anger, I shattered them in my fury and sent their blood streaming to theground.
7 Θελω αναφερει τους οικτιρμους του Κυριου, τας αινεσεις του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα ο Κυριος εκαμεν εις ημας, και την μεγαλην αγαθοτητα προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, την οποιαν εδειξε προς αυτους κατα τους οικτιρμους αυτου και κατα το πληθος του ελεους αυτου.	7 I shal recount Yahweh's acts of faithful love, Yahweh's praises, in return for all that Yahweh has donefor us, for his great kindness to the House of Israel, for all that he has done in his mercy, for the abundance ofhis acts of faithful love.
8 Διοτι ειπε, Βεβαιως λαος μου ειναι αυτοι, τεκνα τα οποια δεν θελουσι ψευσθη? και υπηρξεν ο Σωτηρ αυτων.	8 For he said, 'Truly they are my people, children who will not betray me,' and he became their Saviour.
9 Κατα πασας τας θλιψεις αυτων εθλιβετο, και ο αγγελος της παρουσιας αυτου εσωσεν αυτους? εν τη αγαπη αυτου και εν τη ευσπλαγχνια αυτου αυτος ελυτρωσεν αυτους? και εσηκωσεν αυτους και εβαστασεν αυτους πασας τας ημερας του αιωνος.	9 In al their troubles, it was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them. In his love and pityhe himself redeemed them, lifted them up and carried them throughout the days of old.
10 Αυτοι ομως ηπειθησαν και ελυπησαν το αγιον πνευμα αυτου? δια τουτο εστραφη ωστε να γεινη εχθρος αυτων, αυτος επολεμησεν αυτους.	10 But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit. Then he became their enemy and himself waged war onthem.
11 Τοτε ενεθυμηθη τας αρχαιας ημερας, τον Μωυσην, τον λαον αυτου, λεγων, Που ειναι ο αναβιβασας αυτους απο της θαλασσης μετα του ποιμενος του ποιμνιου αυτου; που ο θεσας το αγιον αυτου πνευμα εν τω μεσω αυτων;	11 But he cal ed the past to mind, Moses his servant. Where is he who saved them from the sea, theShepherd of his flock? Where was he who put his holy Spirit among them,
12 Ο οδηγησας αυτους δια της δεξιας του Μωυσεως με τον ενδοξον βραχιονα αυτου, ο διασχισας τα υδατα εμπροσθεν αυτων, δια να καμη εις εαυτον ονομα αιωνιον;	12 whose glorious arm led the way by Moses' right hand? Who divided the waters before them to winhimself everlasting renown,
13 Ο οδηγησας αυτους δια της αβυσσου, ως ιππον δια της ερημου, χωρις να προσκοψωσι;	13 who led them through the depths as easily as a horse through the desert? They stumbled as little
14 Το πνευμα του Κυριου ανεπαυσεν αυτους ως κτηνος καταβαινον εις την κοιλαδα? ουτως ωδηγησας τον λαον σου, δια να καμης εις σεαυτον ενδοξον ονομα.	14 as cattle going down to the plain. Yahweh's Spirit led them to rest. This was how you guided yourpeople to win yourself glorious renown.
15 Επιβλεψον εξ ουρανου και ιδε εκ της κατοικιας της αγιοτητος σου και της δοξης σου? που ο ζηλος σου και η δυναμις σου, το πληθος του ελεους σου και των οικτιρμων σου; απεκλεισθησαν εις εμε;	15 Look down from heaven and see from your holy and glorious dwel ing. Where is your zeal and yourmight? Are your deepest feelings, your mercy to me, to be restrained?
16 Συ βεβαιως εισαι ο Πατηρ ημων, αν και ο Αβρααμ δεν εξευρη ημας και ο Ισραηλ δεν γνωριζη ημας? συ, Κυριε, εισαι ο Πατηρ ημων? Λυτρωτης ημων ειναι το ονομα σου απ' αιωνος.	16 After all, you are our Father. If Abraham will not own us, if Israel wil not acknowledge us, you,Yahweh, are our Father, 'Our Redeemer' is your name from of old.
17 Δια τι Κυριε, αφηκας ημας να αποπλανωμεθα απο των οδων σου και να σκληρυνωμεν την καρδιαν ημων, ωστε να μη σε φοβωμεθα; επιστρεψον ενεκεν των δουλων σου, των φυλων της κληρονομιας σου.	17 Why, Yahweh, do you let us wander from your ways and let our hearts grow too hard to fear you?Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.
18 Ως πραγμα ελαχιστον κατεκυριευσαν τον αγιον σου λαον? οι εναντιοι ημων κατεπατησαν το αγιαστηριον σου.	18 Your holy people have owned it for so short a time, our enemies have trampled on your sanctuary.
19 Κατεσταθημεν ως εκεινοι, επι τους οποιους δεν εδεσποσας ποτε ουδε επεκληθη το ονομα σου επ' αυτους.	19 We have long been like those you do not rule, people who do not bear your name. Oh, that you wouldtear the heavens open and come down -- in your presence the mountains would quake,
