Isaiah 43

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine.	1 και νυν ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο ποιησας σε ιακωβ ο πλασας σε ισραηλ μη φοβου οτι ελυτρωσαμην σε εκαλεσα σε το ονομα σου εμος ει συ
2 When you pass through the water, I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you.	2 και εαν διαβαινης δι' υδατος μετα σου ειμι και ποταμοι ου συγκλυσουσιν σε και εαν διελθης δια πυρος ου μη κατακαυθης φλοξ ου κατακαυσει σε
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in return for you.	3 οτι εγω κυριος ο θεος σου ο αγιος ισραηλ ο σωζων σε εποιησα σου αλλαγμα αιγυπτον και αιθιοπιαν και σοηνην υπερ σου
4 Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I love you, I give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.	4 αφ' ου εντιμος εγενου εναντιον μου εδοξασθης καγω σε ηγαπησα και δωσω ανθρωπους πολλους υπερ σου και αρχοντας υπερ της κεφαλης σου
5 Fear not, for I am with you; from the east I will bring back your descendants, from the west I will gather you.	5 μη φοβου οτι μετα σου ειμι απο ανατολων αξω το σπερμα σου και απο δυσμων συναξω σε
6 I will say to the north: Give them up! and to the south: Hold not back! Bring back my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth:	6 ερω τω βορρα αγε και τω λιβι μη κωλυε αγε τους υιους μου απο γης πορρωθεν και τας θυγατερας μου απ' ακρων της γης
7 Everyone who is named as mine, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.	7 παντας οσοι επικεκληνται τω ονοματι μου εν γαρ τη δοξη μου κατεσκευασα αυτον και επλασα και εποιησα αυτον
8 Lead out the people who are blind though they have eyes, who are deaf though they have ears.	8 και εξηγαγον λαον τυφλον και οφθαλμοι εισιν ωσαυτως τυφλοι και κωφοι τα ωτα εχοντες
9 Let all the nations gather together, let the peoples assemble! Who among them could have revealed this, or foretold to us the earlier things? Let them produce witnesses to prove themselves right, that one may hear and say, "It is true!"	9 παντα τα εθνη συνηχθησαν αμα και συναχθησονται αρχοντες εξ αυτων τις αναγγελει ταυτα η τα εξ αρχης τις αναγγελει υμιν αγαγετωσαν τους μαρτυρας αυτων και δικαιωθητωσαν και ειπατωσαν αληθη
10 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, my servants whom I have chosen To know and believe in me and understand that it is I. Before me no god was formed, and after me there shall be none.	10 γενεσθε μοι μαρτυρες καγω μαρτυς λεγει κυριος ο θεος και ο παις ον εξελεξαμην ινα γνωτε και πιστευσητε και συνητε οτι εγω ειμι εμπροσθεν μου ουκ εγενετο αλλος θεος και μετ' εμε ουκ εσται
11 It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me.	11 εγω ο θεος και ουκ εστιν παρεξ εμου σωζων
12 It is I who foretold, I who saved; I made it known, not any strange god among you; You are my witnesses, says the LORD. I am God,	12 ανηγγειλα και εσωσα ωνειδισα και ουκ ην εν υμιν αλλοτριος υμεις εμοι μαρτυρες καγω μαρτυς λεγει κυριος ο θεος
13 yes, from eternity I am He; There is none who can deliver from my hand: who can countermand what I do?	13 ετι απ' αρχης και ουκ εστιν ο εκ των χειρων μου εξαιρουμενος ποιησω και τις αποστρεψει αυτο
14 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sakes I send to Babylon; I will lower all the bars, and the Chaldeans shall cry out in lamentation.	14 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο λυτρουμενος υμας ο αγιος ισραηλ ενεκεν υμων αποστελω εις βαβυλωνα και επεγερω παντας φευγοντας και χαλδαιοι εν πλοιοις δεθησονται
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.	15 εγω κυριος ο θεος ο αγιος υμων ο καταδειξας ισραηλ βασιλεα υμων
16 Thus says the LORD, who opens a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters,	16 ουτως λεγει κυριος ο διδους οδον εν θαλασση και εν υδατι ισχυρω τριβον
17 Who leads out chariots and horsemen, a powerful army, Till they lie prostrate together, never to rise, snuffed out and quenched like a wick.	17 ο εξαγαγων αρματα και ιππον και οχλον ισχυρον αλλα εκοιμηθησαν και ουκ αναστησονται εσβεσθησαν ως λινον εσβεσμενον
18 Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not;	18 μη μνημονευετε τα πρωτα και τα αρχαια μη συλλογιζεσθε
19 See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the desert I make a way, in the wasteland, rivers.	19 ιδου ποιω καινα α νυν ανατελει και γνωσεσθε αυτα και ποιησω εν τη ερημω οδον και εν τη ανυδρω ποταμους
20 Wild beasts honor me, jackals and ostriches, For I put water in the desert and rivers in the wasteland for my chosen people to drink,	20 ευλογησει με τα θηρια του αγρου σειρηνες και θυγατερες στρουθων οτι εδωκα εν τη ερημω υδωρ και ποταμους εν τη ανυδρω ποτισαι το γενος μου το εκλεκτον
21 The people whom I formed for myself, that they might announce my praise.	21 λαον μου ον περιεποιησαμην τας αρετας μου διηγεισθαι
22 Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob, for you grew weary of me, O Israel.	22 ου νυν εκαλεσα σε ιακωβ ουδε κοπιασαι σε εποιησα ισραηλ
23 You did not bring me sheep for your holocausts, nor honor me with your sacrifices. I did not exact from you the service of offerings, nor weary you for frankincense.	23 ουκ εμοι προβατα της ολοκαρπωσεως σου ουδε εν ταις θυσιαις σου εδοξασας με ουδε εγκοπον εποιησα σε εν λιβανω
24 You did not buy me sweet cane for money, nor fill me with the fat of your sacrifices; Instead, you burdened me with your sins, and wearied me with your crimes.	24 ουδε εκτησω μοι αργυριου θυμιαμα ουδε το στεαρ των θυσιων σου επεθυμησα αλλα εν ταις αμαρτιαις σου και εν ταις αδικιαις σου προεστην σου
25 It is I, I, who wipe out, for my own sake, your offenses; your sins I remember no more.	25 εγω ειμι εγω ειμι ο εξαλειφων τας ανομιας σου και ου μη μνησθησομαι
26 Would you have me remember, have us come to trial? Speak up, prove your innocence!	26 συ δε μνησθητι και κριθωμεν λεγε συ τας ανομιας σου πρωτος ινα δικαιωθης
27 Your first father sinned; your spokesmen rebelled against me	27 οι πατερες υμων πρωτοι και οι αρχοντες αυτων ηνομησαν εις εμε
28 Till I repudiated the holy gates, put Jacob under the ban, and exposed Israel to scorn.	28 και εμιαναν οι αρχοντες τα αγια μου και εδωκα απολεσαι ιακωβ και ισραηλ εις ονειδισμον
