ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 64

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ειθε να εσχιζες τους ουρανους, να κατεβαινες, να διελυοντο τα ορη εν τη παρουσια σου,	1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
2 ως πυρ καιον θαμνους, ως πυρ καμνον το υδωρ να κοχλαζη, δια να γεινη το ονομα σου γνωστον εις τους εναντιους σου, να λαβη τρομος τα εθνη εν τη παρουσια σου.	2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
3 Οτε εκαμες τρομερα πραγματα, οποια δεν επροσμεναμεν, κατεβης, και τα ορη διελυθησαν εν τη παρουσια σου.	3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
4 Διοτι εκ του αιωνος δεν εμαθον οι ανθρωποι, τα ωτα αυτων δεν ηκουσαν, οι οφθαλμοι αυτων δεν ειδον Θεον εκτος σου, οστις να εκαμε τοιαυτα εις τους επικαλουμενους αυτον.	4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
5 Ερχεσαι εις συναντησιν του ευφραινομενου και εργαζομενου δικαιοσυνην, των ενθυμουμενων σε εν ταις οδοις σου? ιδου, συ ωργισθης, διοτι ημεις ημαρτησαμεν? εαν διεμενομεν εν αυταις, ηθελομεν σωθη;	5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.
6 Παντες τωοντι εγειναμεν ως ακαθαρτον πραγμα, και πασα η δικαιοσυνη ημων ειναι ως ρυπαρον ιματιον? δια τουτο επεσαμεν παντες ως το φυλλον, και αι ανομιαι ημων αφηρπασαν ημας ως ο ανεμος.	6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.
7 Και δεν υπαρχει ο επικαλουμενος το ονομα σου, ο εγειρομενος δια να πιασθη απο σου? διοτι εκρυψας το προσωπον σου αφ' ημων και ηφανισας ημας δια της χειρος των ανομιων ημων.	7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.
8 Αλλα τωρα, Κυριε, συ εισαι ο Πατηρ ημων? ημεις ειμεθα ο πηλος και συ ο Πλαστης ημων? και παντες ειμεθα το εργον της χειρος σου.	8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.
9 Μη οργιζου σφοδρα, Κυριε, μηδε ενθυμου παντοτε την ανομιαν? και τωρα επιβλεψον, δεομεθα? λαος σου ειμεθα παντες.	9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
10 Αι αγιαι πολεις σου εγειναν ερημοι, η Σιων εγεινεν ερημος, η Ιερουσαλημ ηρημωμενη.	10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
11 Ο αγιος ημων και ο ωραιος ημων οικος, εν ω οι πατερες ημων σε εδοξολογουν, κατεκαη εν πυρι? και παντα τα εις ημας αγαπητα ηφανισθησαν.	11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.
12 Θελεις, Κυριε, κρατησει σεαυτον εν τουτοις; θελεις σιωπησει και θελεις θλιψει ημας εως σφοδρα;	12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
