LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 εμφανης εγενομην τοις εμε μη ζητουσιν ευρεθην τοις εμε μη επερωτωσιν ειπα ιδου ειμι τω εθνει οι ουκ εκαλεσαν μου το ονομα	1 I have let myself be approached by those who did not consult me, I have let myself be found by thosewho did not seek me. I said, 'Here I am, here I am!' to a nation that did not invoke my name.
2 εξεπετασα τας χειρας μου ολην την ημεραν προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα οι ουκ επορευθησαν οδω αληθινη αλλ' οπισω των αμαρτιων αυτων	2 Each day I stretched out my hands to a rebel ious people who fol ow a way which is not good, as thefancy takes them;
3 ο λαος ουτος ο παροξυνων με εναντιον εμου δια παντος αυτοι θυσιαζουσιν εν τοις κηποις και θυμιωσιν επι ταις πλινθοις τοις δαιμονιοις α ουκ εστιν	3 a people constantly provoking me to my face by sacrificing in gardens, burning incense on bricks,
4 και εν τοις μνημασιν και εν τοις σπηλαιοις κοιμωνται δι' ενυπνια οι εσθοντες κρεα υεια και ζωμον θυσιων μεμολυμμενα παντα τα σκευη αυτων	4 living in tombs, spending the night in dark corners, eating the meat of pigs, putting unclean foods ontheir plates.
5 οι λεγοντες πορρω απ' εμου μη εγγισης μου οτι καθαρος ειμι ουτος καπνος του θυμου μου πυρ καιεται εν αυτω πασας τας ημερας	5 'Keep your distance,' they say, 'do not touch me, lest my sanctity come near you!' Such words are likestifling smoke to me, an ever-burning fire.
6 ιδου γεγραπται ενωπιον μου ου σιωπησω εως αν αποδω εις τον κολπον αυτων	6 Look, it is inscribed before me: I shal not be silent until I have repaid them, repaid them in ful ,
7 τας αμαρτιας αυτων και των πατερων αυτων λεγει κυριος οι εθυμιασαν επι των ορεων και επι των βουνων ωνειδισαν με αποδωσω τα εργα αυτων εις τον κολπον αυτων	7 punished your guilt and your ancestors' guilt together, Yahweh declares. For having burnt incense onthe mountains and insulted me on the hil s, I shal pay them back in ful for what they have done.
8 ουτως λεγει κυριος ον τροπον ευρεθησεται ο ρωξ εν τω βοτρυι και ερουσιν μη λυμηνη αυτον οτι ευλογια κυριου εστιν εν αυτω ουτως ποιησω ενεκεν του δουλευοντος μοι τουτου ενεκεν ου μη απολεσω παντας	8 Yahweh says this: As when a bunch of grapes is found stil to have juice in it, people say, 'Do notdestroy it, for it contains a blessing,' so I shall act for my servants' sake, I shal not destroy them all.
9 και εξαξω το εξ ιακωβ σπερμα και το εξ ιουδα και κληρονομησει το ορος το αγιον μου και κληρονομησουσιν οι εκλεκτοι μου και οι δουλοι μου και κατοικησουσιν εκει	9 I shal produce descendants from Jacob and heirs to my mountains from Judah, my chosen ones wilown them and my servants wil live there.
10 και εσονται εν τω δρυμω επαυλεις ποιμνιων και φαραγξ αχωρ εις αναπαυσιν βουκολιων τω λαω μου οι εζητησαν με	10 Sharon wil be a pasture for flocks, the Val ey of Achor a feeding ground for cattle, for those of mypeople who have sought me.
11 υμεις δε οι εγκαταλιποντες με και επιλανθανομενοι το ορος το αγιον μου και ετοιμαζοντες τω δαιμονι τραπεζαν και πληρουντες τη τυχη κερασμα	11 But as for those of you who abandon Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who lay the table forGad, who fil cups of mixed wine for Meni,
12 εγω παραδωσω υμας εις μαχαιραν παντες εν σφαγη πεσεισθε οτι εκαλεσα υμας και ουχ υπηκουσατε ελαλησα και παρηκουσατε και εποιησατε το πονηρον εναντιον εμου και α ουκ εβουλομην εξελεξασθε	12 you I shal destine to the sword and al of you wil stoop to be slaughtered, because I cal ed and youwould not answer, I spoke and you would not listen; you have done what I consider evil, you chose to do whatdispleases me.
13 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι φαγονται υμεις δε πεινασετε ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι πιονται υμεις δε διψησετε ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι ευφρανθησονται υμεις δε αισχυνθησεσθε	13 Therefore Lord Yahweh says this: You will see my servants eating while you go hungry; you will seemy servants drinking while you go thirsty; you wil see my servants rejoicing while you are put to shame;
14 ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι αγαλλιασονται εν ευφροσυνη υμεις δε κεκραξεσθε δια τον πονον της καρδιας υμων και απο συντριβης πνευματος ολολυξετε	14 you will hear my servants shouting for joy of heart, while you shriek for sorrow of heart and howl with abroken spirit.
15 καταλειψετε γαρ το ονομα υμων εις πλησμονην τοις εκλεκτοις μου υμας δε ανελει κυριος τοις δε δουλευουσιν αυτω κληθησεται ονομα καινον	15 And you wil leave your name behind as a curse for my chosen ones, 'May Lord Yahweh strike youdead!' But to his servants he wil give another name.
16 ο ευλογηθησεται επι της γης ευλογησουσιν γαρ τον θεον τον αληθινον και οι ομνυοντες επι της γης ομουνται τον θεον τον αληθινον επιλησονται γαρ την θλιψιν αυτων την πρωτην και ουκ αναβησεται αυτων επι την καρδιαν	16 Whoever blesses himself on earth wil bless himself by the God of truth, and whoever swears an oathon earth will swear by the God of truth, for past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.
17 εσται γαρ ο ουρανος καινος και η γη καινη και ου μη μνησθωσιν των προτερων ουδ' ου μη επελθη αυτων επι την καρδιαν	17 For look, I am going to create new heavens and a new earth, and the past will not be rememberedand will come no more to mind.
18 αλλ' ευφροσυνην και αγαλλιαμα ευρησουσιν εν αυτη οτι ιδου εγω ποιω ιερουσαλημ αγαλλιαμα και τον λαον μου ευφροσυνην	18 Rather be joyful, be glad for ever at what I am creating, for look, I am creating Jerusalem to be 'Joy'and my people to be 'Gladness'.
19 και αγαλλιασομαι επι ιερουσαλημ και ευφρανθησομαι επι τω λαω μου και ουκετι μη ακουσθη εν αυτη φωνη κλαυθμου ουδε φωνη κραυγης	19 I shal be joyful in Jerusalem and I shal rejoice in my people. No more will the sound of weeping beheard there, nor the sound of a shriek;
20 και ου μη γενηται εκει αωρος και πρεσβυτης ος ουκ εμπλησει τον χρονον αυτου εσται γαρ ο νεος εκατον ετων ο δε αποθνησκων αμαρτωλος εκατον ετων και επικαταρατος εσται	20 never again wil there be an infant there who lives only a few days, nor an old man who does not runhis ful course; for the youngest wil die at a hundred, and at a hundred the sinner wil be accursed.
21 και οικοδομησουσιν οικιας και αυτοι ενοικησουσιν και καταφυτευσουσιν αμπελωνας και αυτοι φαγονται τα γενηματα αυτων	21 They will build houses and live in them, they wil plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 και ου μη οικοδομησουσιν και αλλοι ενοικησουσιν και ου μη φυτευσουσιν και αλλοι φαγονται κατα γαρ τας ημερας του ξυλου της ζωης εσονται αι ημεραι του λαου μου τα εργα των πονων αυτων παλαιωσουσιν	22 They will not build for others to live in, or plant for others to eat; for the days of my people wil be likethe days of a tree, and my chosen ones wil themselves use what they have made.
23 οι δε εκλεκτοι μου ου κοπιασουσιν εις κενον ουδε τεκνοποιησουσιν εις καταραν οτι σπερμα ηυλογημενον υπο θεου εστιν και τα εκγονα αυτων μετ' αυτων εσονται	23 They will not toil in vain, nor bear children destined to disaster, for they are the race of Yahweh'sblessed ones and so are their offspring.
24 και εσται πριν κεκραξαι αυτους εγω επακουσομαι αυτων ετι λαλουντων αυτων ερω τι εστιν	24 Thus, before they cal I shal answer, before they stop speaking I shal have heard.
25 τοτε λυκοι και αρνες βοσκηθησονται αμα και λεων ως βους φαγεται αχυρα οφις δε γην ως αρτον ουκ αδικησουσιν ουδε μη λυμανουνται επι τω ορει τω αγιω μου λεγει κυριος	25 The wolf and the young lamb wil feed together, the lion wil eat hay like the ox, and dust be theserpent's food. No hurt, no harm wil be done on al my holy mountain, Yahweh says.
