Isaiah 43

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and who formed you, O Israel: Do not be afraid. For I have redeemed you, and I have called you by your name. You are mine.	1 Και τωρα ουτω λεγει Κυριος, ο δημιουργος σου, Ιακωβ, και ο πλαστης σου, Ισραηλ? Μη φοβου? διοτι εγω σε ελυτρωσα, σε εκαλεσα με το ονομα σου? εμου εισαι.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you.	2 Οταν διαβαινης δια των υδατων, μετα σου θελω εισθαι? και οταν δια των ποταμων, δεν θελουσι πλημμυρησει επι σε? οταν περιπατης δια του πυρος, δεν θελεις καη ουδε θελει εξαφθη η φλοξ επι σε.
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf.	3 Διοτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σου, ο Αγιος του Ισραηλ, ο Σωτηρ σου? δια αντιλυτρον σου εδωκα την Αιγυπτον? υπερ σου την Αιθιοπιαν και Σεβα.
4 Since then, you have become honorable in my eyes, and glorious. I have loved you, and I will present men on behalf of you, and people on behalf of your life.	4 Αφοτου εσταθης πολυτιμος εις τους οφθαλμους μου, εδοξασθης και εγω σε ηγαπησα? και θελω δωσει ανθρωπους πολλους υπερ σου και λαους υπερ της κεφαλης σου.
5 Fear not, for I am with you. I will lead your offspring from the East, and I will gather you from the West.	5 Μη φοβου? διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου? απο ανατολων θελω φερει το σπερμα σου και απο δυσμων θελω σε συναξει?
6 I will say to the North, “Release him,” and to the South, “Do not turn him away.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.	6 Θελω ειπει προς τον βορραν, Δος? και προς τον νοτον, Μη εμποδισης? φερε τους υιους μου απο μακραν και τας θυγατερας μου απο των ακρων της γης,
7 And each one who calls upon my name, I have created for my glory. I have formed him, and I have made him.	7 παντας οσοι καλουνται με το ονομα μου? διοτι εδημιουργησα αυτους δια την δοξαν μου, επλασα αυτους και εκαμα αυτους.
8 Lead forth the people who are blind and have eyes, who are deaf and have ears.	8 Εξαγαγε τον λαον τον τυφλον και εχοντα οφθαλμους και τον κωφον και εχοντα ωτα.
9 All the nations have been assembled together, and the tribes have been collected. Who among you will announce this, and who will cause us to listen to the things that are first? Let them present their witnesses. Let them act justly, and listen, and say: “It is true.”	9 Ας συναθροισθωσι παντα τα εθνη και ας συναχθωσιν οι λαοι? τις μεταξυ αυτων ανηγγειλε τουτο και εδειξεν εις ημας τα προτερα; ας φερωσι τους μαρτυρας αυτων και ας δικαιωθωσιν? και ας ακουσωσι και ας ειπωσι, Τουτο ειναι αληθινον.
10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and you are my servant, whom I have chosen, so that you may know, and may believe in me, and so that you may understand that I am the same. Before me, there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.	10 Σεις εισθε μαρτυρες μου, λεγει Κυριος, και ο δουλος μου, τον οποιον εξελεξα, δια να μαθητε και να πιστευσητε εις εμε και να εννοησητε οτι εγω αυτος ειμαι? προ εμου αλλος Θεος δεν υπηρξεν ουδε θελει υπαρχει μετ' εμε.
11 I am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me.	11 Εγω, εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος? και εκτος εμου σωτηρ δεν υπαρχει.
12 I have announced, and I have saved. I have caused it to be heard. And there was no stranger among you. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.	12 Εγω ανηγγειλα και εσωσα και εδειξα? και δεν εσταθη εις εσας ξενος θεος? σεις δε εισθε μαρτυρες μου, λεγει Κυριος, και εγω ο Θεος.
13 And from the beginning, I am the same. And there is no one who can rescue from my hand. I act, and who can turn it aside?	13 Και πριν γεινη η ημερα, εγω αυτος ημην? και δεν υπαρχει ο λυτρονων εκ της χειρος μου? θελω καμει και τις δυναται να εμποδιση αυτο;
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake, I sent to Babylon, and tore down all their bars, with the Chaldeans who glory in their ships.	14 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος, ο Λυτρωτης σας, ο Αγιος του Ισραηλ? δια σας εξαπεστειλα εις την Βαβυλωνα και κατεβαλον παντας τους φυγαδας αυτης και τους Χαλδαιους τους εγκαυχωμενους εις τα πλοια.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.	15 Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο Αγιος σας, ο Ποιητης του Ισραηλ, ο Βασιλευς σας.
16 Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters,	16 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος, οστις εκαμεν οδον εις την θαλασσαν και τριβον εις τα ισχυρα υδατα?
17 who led out the chariot and the horse, the column of robust troops. They went to sleep together, and they will not arise. They have been crushed like flax, and they have been extinguished.	17 οστις εξηγαγεν αμαξας και ιππους, στρατευμα και ρωμαλεους? παντα ομου εξηπλωθησαν κατω, δεν εσηκωθησαν? ηφανισθησαν, εσβεσθησαν ως στυπιον.
18 You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.	18 Μη ενθυμησθε τα προτερα και μη συλλογιζεσθε τα παλαια.
19 Behold, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place.	19 Ιδου, εγω θελω καμει νεον πραγμα? τωρα θελει ανατειλει? δεν θελετε γνωρισει αυτο; θελω βεβαιως καμει οδον εν τη ερημω, ποταμους εν τη ανυδρω.
20 The wild beasts of the field will glorify me, with the serpents and the ostriches. For I have brought waters to the desert, rivers to inaccessible places, in order to give drink to my people, to my elect.	20 Τα θηρια του αγρου θελουσι με δοξασει, οι θωες και οι στρουθοκαμηλοι? διοτι διδω υδατα εις την ερημον, ποταμους εις την ανυδρον, δια να ποτισω τον λαον μου, τον εκλεκτον μου.
21 This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise.	21 Ο λαος, τον οποιον επλασα εις εμαυτον, θελει διηγεισθαι την αινεσιν μου.
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.	22 Αλλα συ, Ιακωβ, δεν με επεκαλεσθης? αλλα συ, Ισραηλ, εβαρυνθης απ' εμου.
23 You have not offered me the ram of your holocaust, and you have not glorified me with your victims. I have not burdened you with oblations, nor have I wearied you with incense.	23 Δεν προσεφερες εις εμε τα αρνια των ολοκαυτωματων σου ουδε με ετιμησας με τας θυσιας σου. Εγω δεν σε εδουλωσα με προσφορας ουδε σε εβαρυνα με θυμιαμα?
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Yet truly, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.	24 δεν ηγορασας με αργυριον καλαμον αρωματικον δι' εμε, ουδε με ενεπλησας απο του παχους των θυσιων σου? αλλα με εδουλωσας με τας αμαρτιας σου, με επεβαρυνας με τας ανομιας σου.
25 I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.	25 Εγω, εγω ειμαι, οστις εξαλειφω τας παραβασεις σου ενεκεν εμου, και δεν θελω ενθυμηθη τας αμαρτιας σου.
26 Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it.	26 Ενθυμισον με? ας κριθωμεν ομου? λεγε συ, δια να δικαιωθης.
27 Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me.	27 Ο προπατωρ σου ημαρτησε και οι διδασκαλοι σου ηνομησαν εις εμε.
28 And so, I have defiled the holy leaders. I have handed over Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to calumny.	28 Δια τουτο θελω καταστησει βεβηλους τους αρχοντας του αγιαστηριου, και θελω παραδωσει τον Ιακωβ εις καταραν και τον Ισραηλ εις ονειδισμους.
