ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 59

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 μη ουκ ισχυει η χειρ κυριου του σωσαι η εβαρυνεν το ους αυτου του μη εισακουσαι	1 Lo, the hand of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
2 αλλα τα αμαρτηματα υμων διιστωσιν ανα μεσον υμων και του θεου και δια τας αμαρτιας υμων απεστρεψεν το προσωπον αυτου αφ' υμων του μη ελεησαι	2 Rather, it is your crimes that separate you from your God, It is your sins that make him hide his face so that he will not hear you.
3 αι γαρ χειρες υμων μεμολυμμεναι αιματι και οι δακτυλοι υμων εν αμαρτιαις τα δε χειλη υμων ελαλησεν ανομιαν και η γλωσσα υμων αδικιαν μελετα	3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt; Your lips speak falsehood, and your tongue utters deceit.
4 ουδεις λαλει δικαια ουδε εστιν κρισις αληθινη πεποιθασιν επι ματαιοις και λαλουσιν κενα οτι κυουσιν πονον και τικτουσιν ανομιαν	4 No one brings suit justly, no one pleads truthfully; They trust in emptiness and tell lies; they conceive mischief and bring forth malice.
5 ωα ασπιδων ερρηξαν και ιστον αραχνης υφαινουσιν και ο μελλων των ωων αυτων φαγειν συντριψας ουριον ευρεν και εν αυτω βασιλισκος	5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave spiders' webs: Whoever eats their eggs will die, if one of them is pressed, it will hatch as a viper;
6 ο ιστος αυτων ουκ εσται εις ιματιον ουδε μη περιβαλωνται απο των εργων αυτων τα γαρ εργα αυτων εργα ανομιας	6 Their webs cannot serve as clothing, nor can they cover themselves with their works. Their works are evil works, and deeds of violence come from their hands.
7 οι δε ποδες αυτων επι πονηριαν τρεχουσιν ταχινοι εκχεαι αιμα και οι διαλογισμοι αυτων διαλογισμοι αφρονων συντριμμα και ταλαιπωρια εν ταις οδοις αυτων	7 Their feet run to evil, and they are quick to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are destructive thoughts, plunder and ruin are on their highways.
8 και οδον ειρηνης ουκ οιδασιν και ουκ εστιν κρισις εν ταις οδοις αυτων αι γαρ τριβοι αυτων διεστραμμεναι ας διοδευουσιν και ουκ οιδασιν ειρηνην	8 The way of peace they know not, and there is nothing that is right in their paths; Their ways they have made crooked, whoever treads them knows no peace.
9 δια τουτο απεστη η κρισις απ' αυτων και ου μη καταλαβη αυτους δικαιοσυνη υπομειναντων αυτων φως εγενετο αυτοις σκοτος μειναντες αυγην εν αωρια περιεπατησαν	9 That is why right is far from us and justice does not reach us. We look for light, and lo, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom!
10 ψηλαφησουσιν ως τυφλοι τοιχον και ως ουχ υπαρχοντων οφθαλμων ψηλαφησουσιν και πεσουνται εν μεσημβρια ως εν μεσονυκτιω ως αποθνησκοντες στεναξουσιν	10 Like blind men we grope along the wall, like people without eyes we feel our way. We stumble at midday as at dusk, in Stygian darkness, like the dead.
11 ως αρκος και ως περιστερα αμα πορευσονται ανεμειναμεν κρισιν και ουκ εστιν σωτηρια μακραν αφεστηκεν αφ' ημων	11 We all growl like bears, like doves we moan without ceasing. We look for right, but it is not there; for salvation, and it is far from us.
12 πολλη γαρ ημων η ανομια εναντιον σου και αι αμαρτιαι ημων αντεστησαν ημιν αι γαρ ανομιαι ημων εν ημιν και τα αδικηματα ημων εγνωμεν	12 For our offenses before you are many, our sins bear witness against us. Yes, our offenses are present to us, and our crimes we know:
13 ησεβησαμεν και εψευσαμεθα και απεστημεν απο οπισθεν του θεου ημων ελαλησαμεν αδικα και ηπειθησαμεν εκυομεν και εμελετησαμεν απο καρδιας ημων λογους αδικους	13 Transgressing, and denying the LORD, turning back from following our God, Threatening outrage, and apostasy, uttering words of falsehood the heart has conceived.
14 και απεστησαμεν οπισω την κρισιν και η δικαιοσυνη μακραν αφεστηκεν οτι καταναλωθη εν ταις οδοις αυτων η αληθεια και δι' ευθειας ουκ ηδυναντο διελθειν	14 Right is repelled, and justice stands far off; For truth stumbles in the public square, uprightness cannot enter.
15 και η αληθεια ηρται και μετεστησαν την διανοιαν του συνιεναι και ειδεν κυριος και ουκ ηρεσεν αυτω οτι ουκ ην κρισις	15 Honesty is lacking, and the man who turns from evil is despoiled. The LORD saw this, and was aggrieved that right did not exist.
16 και ειδεν και ουκ ην ανηρ και κατενοησεν και ουκ ην ο αντιλημψομενος και ημυνατο αυτους τω βραχιονι αυτου και τη ελεημοσυνη εστηρισατο	16 He saw that there was no one, and was appalled that there was none to intervene; So his own arm brought about the victory, and his justice lent him its support.
17 και ενεδυσατο δικαιοσυνην ως θωρακα και περιεθετο περικεφαλαιαν σωτηριου επι της κεφαλης και περιεβαλετο ιματιον εκδικησεως και το περιβολαιον	17 He put on justice as his breastplate, salvation, as the helmet on his head; He clothed himself with garments of vengeance, wrapped himself in a mantle of zeal.
18 ως ανταποδωσων ανταποδοσιν ονειδος τοις υπεναντιοις	18 He repays his enemies their deserts, and requites his foes with wrath.
19 και φοβηθησονται οι απο δυσμων το ονομα κυριου και οι απ' ανατολων ηλιου το ονομα το ενδοξον ηξει γαρ ως ποταμος βιαιος η οργη παρα κυριου ηξει μετα θυμου	19 Those in the west shall fear the name of the LORD, and those in the east, his glory; For it shall come like a pent-up river which the breath of the LORD drives on.
20 και ηξει ενεκεν σιων ο ρυομενος και αποστρεψει ασεβειας απο ιακωβ	20 He shall come to Zion a redeemer to those of Jacob who turn from sin, says the LORD.
21 και αυτη αυτοις η παρ' εμου διαθηκη ειπεν κυριος το πνευμα το εμον ο εστιν επι σοι και τα ρηματα α εδωκα εις το στομα σου ου μη εκλιπη εκ του στοματος σου και εκ του στοματος του σπερματος σου ειπεν γαρ κυριος απο του νυν και εις τον αιωνα	21 This is the covenant with them which I myself have made, says the LORD: My spirit which is upon you and my words that I have put into your mouth Shall never leave your mouth, nor the mouths of your children Nor the mouths of your children's children from now on and forever, says the LORD.
