LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ιακωβ ο παις μου αντιλημψομαι αυτου ισραηλ ο εκλεκτος μου προσεδεξατο αυτον η ψυχη μου εδωκα το πνευμα μου επ' αυτον κρισιν τοις εθνεσιν εξοισει	1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 ου κεκραξεται ουδε ανησει ουδε ακουσθησεται εξω η φωνη αυτου	2 He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 καλαμον τεθλασμενον ου συντριψει και λινον καπνιζομενον ου σβεσει αλλα εις αληθειαν εξοισει κρισιν	3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
4 αναλαμψει και ου θραυσθησεται εως αν θη επι της γης κρισιν και επι τω ονοματι αυτου εθνη ελπιουσιν	4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
5 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο ποιησας τον ουρανον και πηξας αυτον ο στερεωσας την γην και τα εν αυτη και διδους πνοην τω λαω τω επ' αυτης και πνευμα τοις πατουσιν αυτην	5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
6 εγω κυριος ο θεος εκαλεσα σε εν δικαιοσυνη και κρατησω της χειρος σου και ενισχυσω σε και εδωκα σε εις διαθηκην γενους εις φως εθνων	6 I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 ανοιξαι οφθαλμους τυφλων εξαγαγειν εκ δεσμων δεδεμενους και εξ οικου φυλακης καθημενους εν σκοτει	7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 εγω κυριος ο θεος τουτο μου εστιν το ονομα την δοξαν μου ετερω ου δωσω ουδε τας αρετας μου τοις γλυπτοις	8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 τα απ' αρχης ιδου ηκασιν και καινα α εγω αναγγελω και προ του ανατειλαι εδηλωθη υμιν	9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
10 υμνησατε τω κυριω υμνον καινον η αρχη αυτου δοξαζετε το ονομα αυτου απ' ακρου της γης οι καταβαινοντες εις την θαλασσαν και πλεοντες αυτην αι νησοι και οι κατοικουντες αυτας	10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 ευφρανθητι ερημος και αι κωμαι αυτης επαυλεις και οι κατοικουντες κηδαρ ευφρανθησονται οι κατοικουντες πετραν απ' ακρων των ορεων βοησουσιν	11 Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 δωσουσιν τω θεω δοξαν τας αρετας αυτου εν ταις νησοις αναγγελουσιν	12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
13 κυριος ο θεος των δυναμεων εξελευσεται και συντριψει πολεμον επεγερει ζηλον και βοησεται επι τους εχθρους αυτου μετα ισχυος	13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 εσιωπησα μη και αει σιωπησομαι και ανεξομαι εκαρτερησα ως η τικτουσα εκστησω και ξηρανω αμα	14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
15 και θησω ποταμους εις νησους και ελη ξηρανω	15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
16 και αξω τυφλους εν οδω η ουκ εγνωσαν και τριβους ους ουκ ηδεισαν πατησαι ποιησω αυτους ποιησω αυτοις το σκοτος εις φως και τα σκολια εις ευθειαν ταυτα τα ρηματα ποιησω και ουκ εγκαταλειψω αυτους	16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 αυτοι δε απεστραφησαν εις τα οπισω αισχυνθητε αισχυνην οι πεποιθοτες επι τοις γλυπτοις οι λεγοντες τοις χωνευτοις υμεις εστε θεοι ημων	17 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 οι κωφοι ακουσατε και οι τυφλοι αναβλεψατε ιδειν	18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19 και τις τυφλος αλλ' η οι παιδες μου και κωφοι αλλ' η οι κυριευοντες αυτων και ετυφλωθησαν οι δουλοι του θεου	19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 ειδετε πλεονακις και ουκ εφυλαξασθε ηνοιγμενα τα ωτα και ουκ ηκουσατε	20 You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 κυριος ο θεος εβουλετο ινα δικαιωθη και μεγαλυνη αινεσιν και ειδον	21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22 και εγενετο ο λαος πεπρονομευμενος και διηρπασμενος η γαρ παγις εν τοις ταμιειοις πανταχου και εν οικοις αμα οπου εκρυψαν αυτους εγενοντο εις προνομην και ουκ ην ο εξαιρουμενος αρπαγμα και ουκ ην ο λεγων αποδος	22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 τις εν υμιν ος ενωτιειται ταυτα εισακουσεται εις τα επερχομενα	23 Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24 τις εδωκεν εις διαρπαγην ιακωβ και ισραηλ τοις προνομευουσιν αυτον ουχι ο θεος ω ημαρτοσαν αυτω και ουκ εβουλοντο εν ταις οδοις αυτου πορευεσθαι ουδε ακουειν του νομου αυτου	24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? It is not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
25 και επηγαγεν επ' αυτους οργην θυμου αυτου και κατισχυσεν αυτους πολεμος και οι συμφλεγοντες αυτους κυκλω και ουκ εγνωσαν εκαστος αυτων ουδε εθεντο επι ψυχην	25 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
