ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 65

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Εζητηθην παρα των μη ερωτωντων περι εμου? ευρεθην παρα των ζητουντων με? ειπα, Ιδου, εγω, ιδου, εγω, προς εθνος μη καλουμενον με το ονομα μου.	1 Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.
2 Εξηπλωσα τας χειρας μου ολην την ημεραν προς λαον απειθη, περιπατουντα εν οδω ουχι καλη, οπισω των διαβουλιων αυτων,	2 I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
3 λαον παροξυνοντα με παντοτε κατα προσωπον μου, θυσιαζοντα εν κηποις και θυμιαζοντα επι πλινθων,	3 to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
4 μενοντα εν τοις μνημασι και διανυκτερευοντα εν αποκρυφοις, τρωγοντα χοιρειον κρεας και εν τοις αγγειοις αυτου εχοντα ζωμον ακαθαρτων πραγματων,	4 They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
5 λεγοντα, Μακραν απ' εμου, μη με εγγισης, διοτι ειμαι αγιωτερος σου. Ουτοι ειναι καπνος εις τους μυκτηρας μου, πυρ καιομενον ολην την ημεραν.	5 They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
6 Ιδου, γεγραμμενον ειναι ενωπιον μου, δεν θελω σιωπησει αλλα θελω ανταποδωσει, ναι, θελω ανταποδωσει εις τους κολπους αυτων	6 Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.
7 τας ανομιας σας και τας ανομιας των πατερων σας ομου, λεγει Κυριος, οιτινες εθυμιασαν επι των ορεων και με εβλασφημησαν επι των λοφων? δια τουτο θελω αντιπληρωσει εις τους κολπους αυτων τα απ' αρχης εργα αυτων.	7 Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.
8 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Καθως οταν ευρισκηται γλευκος εν τη σταφυλη, λεγουσι, Μη φθειρης αυτο, διοτι ειναι ευλογια εν αυτω? ουτω θελω καμει ενεκεν των δουλων μου, δια να μη εξολοθρευσω παντας.	8 Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.
9 Και θελω εξαξει σπερμα εξ Ιακωβ και κληρονομον των ορεων μου εξ Ιουδα? και οι εκλεκτοι μου θελουσι κληρονομησει αυτα και οι δουλοι μου θελουσι κατοικησει εκει.	9 And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.
10 Και ο Σαρων θελει εισθαι μανδρα των ποιμνιων και η κοιλας του Αχωρ τοπος εις αναπαυσιν των βουκολιων, δια τον λαον μου τον εκζητουντα με.	10 And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.
11 Εσας ομως, τους εγκαταλειποντας τον Κυριον, τους λησμονουντας το αγιον μου ορος, τους ετοιμαζοντας τραπεζαν εις τον Γαδην και τους καμνοντας σπονδην εις τον Μενι,	11 And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:
12 θελω σας αριθμησει δια την μαχαιραν και παντες θελετε κυψει εις την σφαγην? διοτι εκαλουν και δεν απεκρινεσθε? ελαλουν και δεν ηκουετε? αλλ' επραττετε το κακον ενωπιον μου και εξελεγετε το μη αρεστον εις εμε.	12 I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.
13 Οθεν ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ιδου, οι δουλοι μου θελουσι φαγει, σεις δε θελετε πεινασει? ιδου, οι δουλοι μου θελουσι πιει, σεις δε θελετε διψησει? ιδου, οι δουλοι μου θελουσιν ευφρανθη, σεις δε θελετε αισχυνθη?	13 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.
14 ιδου, οι δουλοι μου θελουσιν αλαλαζει εν ευθυμια, σεις δε θελετε βοα εν πονω καρδιας και ολολυζει υπο καταθλιψεως πνευματος.	14 Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.
15 Και θελετε αφησει το ονομα σας εις τους εκλεκτους μου δια καταραν? διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος θελει σε θανατωσει και με αλλο ονομα θελει ονομασει τους δουλους αυτου,	15 And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.
16 δια να μακαριζη εαυτον εις τον Θεον της αληθειας ο μακαριζων εαυτον επι της γης? και να ομνυη εις τον Θεον της αληθειας ο ομνυων επι της γης? διοτι αι προτεραι θλιψεις ελησμονηθησαν και διοτι εκρυφθησαν απο των οφθαλμων μου.	16 By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.
17 Επειδη ιδου, νεους ουρανους κτιζω και νεαν γην? και δεν θελει εισθαι μνημη των προτερων ουδε θελουσιν ελθει εις τον νουν.	17 For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.
18 Αλλ' ευφραινεσθε και χαιρετε παντοτε εις εκεινο το οποιον κτιζω? διοτι, ιδου, κτιζω την Ιερουσαλημ αγαλλιαμα και τον λαον αυτης ευφροσυνην.	18 But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.
19 Και θελω αγαλλεσθαι εις την Ιερουσαλημ και ευφραινεσθαι εις τον λαον μου? και δεν θελει ακουσθη πλεον εν αυτη φωνη κλαυθμου και φωνη κραυγης.	19 And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.
20 Δεν θελει εισθαι πλεον εκει βρεφος ολιγοημερον και γερων οστις δεν επληρωσε τας ημερας αυτου? διοτι το παιδιον θελει αποθνησκει εκατον ετων, ο δε εκατον ετων αμαρτωλος θελει εισθαι επικαταρατος.	20 There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.
21 Και θελουσιν οικοδομησει οικιας και κατοικησει, και θελουσι φυτευσει αμπελωνας και φαγει τον καρπον αυτων.	21 And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.
22 δεν θελουσι κτισει αυτοι και αλλος να κατοικηση? δεν θελουσι φυτευσει αυτοι και αλλος να φαγη? διοτι αι ημεραι του λαου μου ειναι ως αι ημεραι του δενδρου και οι εκλεκτοι μου θελουσι παλαιωσει το εργον των χειρων αυτων.	22 They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.
23 Δεν θελουσι κοπιαζει εις ματην ουδε θελουσι τεκνοποιει δια καταστροφην? διοτι ειναι σπερμα των ευλογημενων του Κυριου και οι εκγονοι αυτων μετ' αυτων.	23 My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.
24 Και πριν αυτοι κραξωσιν, εγω θελω αποκρινεσθαι? και ενω αυτοι λαλουσιν, εγω θελω ακουει.	24 And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 Ο λυκος και το αρνιον θελουσι βοσκεσθαι ομου, και ο λεων θελει τρωγει αχυρον ως ο βους? αρτος δε του οφεως θελει εισθαι το χωμα? εν ολω τω αγιω μου ορει δεν θελουσι καμνει ζημιαν ουδε φθοραν, λεγει Κυριος.	25 The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
