LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος τω χριστω μου κυρω ου εκρατησα της δεξιας επακουσαι εμπροσθεν αυτου εθνη και ισχυν βασιλεων διαρρηξω ανοιξω εμπροσθεν αυτου θυρας και πολεις ου συγκλεισθησονται	1 Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 εγω εμπροσθεν σου πορευσομαι και ορη ομαλιω θυρας χαλκας συντριψω και μοχλους σιδηρους συγκλασω	2 I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 και δωσω σοι θησαυρους σκοτεινους αποκρυφους αορατους ανοιξω σοι ινα γνως οτι εγω κυριος ο θεος ο καλων το ονομα σου θεος ισραηλ	3 And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 ενεκεν ιακωβ του παιδος μου και ισραηλ του εκλεκτου μου εγω καλεσω σε τω ονοματι σου και προσδεξομαι σε συ δε ουκ εγνως με	4 For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 οτι εγω κυριος ο θεος και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην εμου θεος και ουκ ηδεις με	5 I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 ινα γνωσιν οι απο ανατολων ηλιου και οι απο δυσμων οτι ουκ εστιν πλην εμου εγω κυριος ο θεος και ουκ εστιν ετι	6 So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 εγω ο κατασκευασας φως και ποιησας σκοτος ο ποιων ειρηνην και κτιζων κακα εγω κυριος ο θεος ο ποιων ταυτα παντα	7 I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 ευφρανθητω ο ουρανος ανωθεν και αι νεφελαι ρανατωσαν δικαιοσυνην ανατειλατω η γη ελεος και δικαιοσυνην ανατειλατω αμα εγω ειμι κυριος ο κτισας σε	8 Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 ποιον βελτιον κατεσκευασα ως πηλον κεραμεως μη ο αροτριων αροτριασει την γην ολην την ημεραν μη ερει ο πηλος τω κεραμει τι ποιεις οτι ουκ εργαζη ουδε εχεις χειρας	9 Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 ο λεγων τω πατρι τι γεννησεις και τη μητρι τι ωδινησεις	10 Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 οτι ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο αγιος ισραηλ ο ποιησας τα επερχομενα ερωτησατε με περι των υιων μου και περι των θυγατερων μου και περι των εργων των χειρων μου εντειλασθε μοι	11 Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 εγω εποιησα γην και ανθρωπον επ' αυτης εγω τη χειρι μου εστερεωσα τον ουρανον εγω πασι τοις αστροις ενετειλαμην	12 I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 εγω ηγειρα αυτον μετα δικαιοσυνης βασιλεα και πασαι αι οδοι αυτου ευθειαι ουτος οικοδομησει την πολιν μου και την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου μου επιστρεψει ου μετα λυτρων ουδε μετα δωρων ειπεν κυριος σαβαωθ	13 I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 ουτως λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ εκοπιασεν αιγυπτος και εμπορια αιθιοπων και οι σεβωιν ανδρες υψηλοι επι σε διαβησονται και σοι εσονται δουλοι και οπισω σου ακολουθησουσιν δεδεμενοι χειροπεδαις και προσκυνησουσιν σοι και εν σοι προσευξονται οτι εν σοι ο θεος εστιν και ερουσιν ουκ εστιν θεος πλην σου	14 Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 συ γαρ ει θεος και ουκ ηδειμεν ο θεος του ισραηλ σωτηρ	15 Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 αισχυνθησονται και εντραπησονται παντες οι αντικειμενοι αυτω και πορευσονται εν αισχυνη εγκαινιζεσθε προς με νησοι	16 They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 ισραηλ σωζεται υπο κυριου σωτηριαν αιωνιον ουκ αισχυνθησονται ουδε μη εντραπωσιν εως του αιωνος	17 Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ποιησας τον ουρανον ουτος ο θεος ο καταδειξας την γην και ποιησας αυτην αυτος διωρισεν αυτην ουκ εις κενον εποιησεν αυτην αλλα κατοικεισθαι εγω ειμι και ουκ εστιν ετι	18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 ουκ εν κρυφη λελαληκα ουδε εν τοπω γης σκοτεινω ουκ ειπα τω σπερματι ιακωβ ματαιον ζητησατε εγω ειμι εγω ειμι κυριος λαλων δικαιοσυνην και αναγγελλων αληθειαν	19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 συναχθητε και ηκετε βουλευσασθε αμα οι σωζομενοι απο των εθνων ουκ εγνωσαν οι αιροντες το ξυλον γλυμμα αυτων και προσευχομενοι ως προς θεους οι ου σωζουσιν	20 Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 ει αναγγελουσιν εγγισατωσαν ινα γνωσιν αμα τις ακουστα εποιησεν ταυτα απ' αρχης τοτε ανηγγελη υμιν εγω ο θεος και ουκ εστιν αλλος πλην εμου δικαιος και σωτηρ ουκ εστιν παρεξ εμου	21 Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 επιστραφητε προς με και σωθησεσθε οι απ' εσχατου της γης εγω ειμι ο θεος και ουκ εστιν αλλος	22 All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 κατ' εμαυτου ομνυω η μην εξελευσεται εκ του στοματος μου δικαιοσυνη οι λογοι μου ουκ αποστραφησονται οτι εμοι καμψει παν γονυ και εξομολογησεται πασα γλωσσα τω θεω	23 I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back.
24 λεγων δικαιοσυνη και δοξα προς αυτον ηξουσιν και αισχυνθησονται παντες οι αφοριζοντες εαυτους	24 For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
25 απο κυριου δικαιωθησονται και εν τω θεω ενδοξασθησονται παν το σπερμα των υιων ισραηλ	25 Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
	26 In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
