ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 54

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα της ερημου μαλλον η της εχουσης τον ανδρα ειπεν γαρ κυριος	1 Give praise, you who are barren and unable to conceive. Sing praise and make a joyful noise, you who have not given birth. For many are the children of the desolate, more so than of her who has a husband, says the Lord.
2 πλατυνον τον τοπον της σκηνης σου και των αυλαιων σου πηξον μη φειση μακρυνον τα σχοινισματα σου και τους πασσαλους σου κατισχυσον	2 Enlarge the place of your tent and extend the skins of your tabernacles, unsparingly. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 ετι εις τα δεξια και εις τα αριστερα εκπετασον και το σπερμα σου εθνη κληρονομησει και πολεις ηρημωμενας κατοικιεις	3 For you shall extend to the right and to the left. And your offspring shall inherit the nations, and you shall inhabit the desolate cities.
4 μη φοβου οτι κατησχυνθης μηδε εντραπης οτι ωνειδισθης οτι αισχυνην αιωνιον επιληση και ονειδος της χηρειας σου ου μη μνησθηση	4 Do not be afraid! For you will not be confounded, and you will not blush. And you will not be put to shame, because you shall forget the confusion of your youth, and you shall no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
5 οτι κυριος ο ποιων σε κυριος σαβαωθ ονομα αυτω και ο ρυσαμενος σε αυτος θεος ισραηλ παση τη γη κληθησεται	5 For the One who made you will rule over you. The Lord of hosts is his name. And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will be called the God of all the earth.
6 ουχ ως γυναικα καταλελειμμενην και ολιγοψυχον κεκληκεν σε κυριος ουδ' ως γυναικα εκ νεοτητος μεμισημενην ειπεν ο θεος σου	6 For the Lord has called you, like a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and like a wife rejected in her youth, said your God.
7 χρονον μικρον κατελιπον σε και μετα ελεους μεγαλου ελεησω σε	7 For a brief moment, I have forsaken you, and with great pities, I will gather you.
8 εν θυμω μικρω απεστρεψα το προσωπον μου απο σου και εν ελεει αιωνιω ελεησω σε ειπεν ο ρυσαμενος σε κυριος	8 In a moment of indignation, I have hidden my face from you, for a little while. But with everlasting mercy, I have taken pity on you, said your Redeemer, the Lord.
9 απο του υδατος του επι νωε τουτο μοι εστιν καθοτι ωμοσα αυτω εν τω χρονω εκεινω τη γη μη θυμωθησεσθαι επι σοι ετι μηδε εν απειλη σου	9 For me, it is just as in the days of Noah, to whom I swore that I would no longer bring in the waters of Noah over the earth. Thus have I sworn not to be angry with you, and not to rebuke you.
10 τα ορη μεταστησεσθαι ουδε οι βουνοι σου μετακινηθησονται ουτως ουδε το παρ' εμου σοι ελεος εκλειψει ουδε η διαθηκη της ειρηνης σου ου μη μεταστη ειπεν γαρ κυριος ιλεως σοι	10 For the mountains will be moved, and the hills will tremble. But my mercy will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not be shaken, said the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 ταπεινη και ακαταστατος ου παρεκληθης ιδου εγω ετοιμαζω σοι ανθρακα τον λιθον σου και τα θεμελια σου σαπφειρον	11 O poor little ones, convulsed by the tempest, away from any consolation! Behold, I will set your stones in order, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires,
12 και θησω τας επαλξεις σου ιασπιν και τας πυλας σου λιθους κρυσταλλου και τον περιβολον σου λιθους εκλεκτους	12 and I will make your ramparts out of jasper, and your gates out of sculpted stones, and all your borders out of desirable stones.
13 και παντας τους υιους σου διδακτους θεου και εν πολλη ειρηνη τα τεκνα σου	13 All your children will be taught by the Lord. And great will be the peace of your children.
14 και εν δικαιοσυνη οικοδομηθηση απεχου απο αδικου και ου φοβηθηση και τρομος ουκ εγγιει σοι	14 And you will be founded in justice. Depart far from oppression, for you will not be afraid. And depart from terror, for it will not approach you.
15 ιδου προσηλυτοι προσελευσονται σοι δι' εμου και επι σε καταφευξονται	15 Behold, a settler will arrive, who was not with me, a certain new arrival will be joined to you.
16 ιδου εγω κτιζω σε ουχ ως χαλκευς φυσων ανθρακας και εκφερων σκευος εις εργον εγω δε εκτισα σε ουκ εις απωλειαν φθειραι	16 Behold, I created the smith who fans the coals of the fire and produces an object by his work, and I have created the slayer who destroys.
17 παν σκευος φθαρτον επι σε ουκ ευοδωσω και πασα φωνη αναστησεται επι σε εις κρισιν παντας αυτους ηττησεις οι δε ενοχοι σου εσονται εν αυτη εστιν κληρονομια τοις θεραπευουσιν κυριον και υμεις εσεσθε μοι δικαιοι λεγει κυριος	17 No object which has been formed to use against you will succeed. And every tongue that resists you in judgment, you shall judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and this is their justice with me, says the Lord.
