ΗΣΑΙΑΣ - Isaia - Isaiah 48

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ακουσατε τουτο, οικος Ιακωβ? οι κληθεντες με το ονομα του Ισραηλ και εξελθοντες εκ της πηγης του Ιουδα? οι ομνυοντες εις το ονομα του Κυριου και αναφεροντες τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, πλην ουχι εν αληθεια ουδε εν δικαιοσυνη.	1 Listen to these things, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and who went forth from the waters of Judah. You swear by the name of the Lord and you call to mind the God of Israel, but not in truth, and not in justice.
2 Διοτι λαμβανουσι το ονομα αυτων εκ της πολεως της αγιας και επιστηριζονται επι τον Θεον του Ισραηλ? το ονομα αυτου ειναι, Ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.	2 For they have been called from the holy city, and they have been founded upon the God of Israel. The Lord of hosts is his name.
3 Εκτοτε ανηγγειλα τα απ' αρχης? και εξηλθον εκ του στοματος μου και διεκηρυξα αυτα? εκαμα ταυτα αιφνιδιως και εγειναν.	3 From that time, I announced the former things. They went forth from my mouth, and I have caused them to be heard. I wrought these things suddenly, and they were fulfilled.
4 Επειδη γνωριζω οτι εισαι σκληρος, και ο τραχηλος σου ειναι νευρον σιδηρουν και το μετωπον σου χαλκινον.	4 For I knew that you are stubborn, and that your neck is like an iron sinew, and that your forehead is like brass.
5 Εκτοτε δε ανηγγειλα τουτο προς σε? πριν γεινη διεκηρυξα τουτο εις σε, δια να μη ειπης, Το ειδωλον μου εκαμε ταυτα? και το γλυπτον μου και το χυτον μου προσεταξε ταυτα.	5 From that time, I foretold to you. Before these things happened, I revealed them to you, lest you say: “My idols have accomplished these things, and my graven and molten images have commanded them.”
6 Ηκουσας? ιδε παντα ταυτα? και δεν θελετε ομολογησει; απο τουδε διακηρυττω προς σε νεα, μαλιστα αποκεκρυμμενα, και τα οποια συ δεν ηξευρες.	6 See all the things that you have heard. But were you the ones who announced them? From that time, I caused you to hear about new things, and you do not know how these were preserved.
7 Τωρα εγειναν και ουχι παλαιοθεν, και ουδε προ της ημερας ταυτης ηκουσας περι αυτων, δια να μη ειπης, Ιδου, εγω ηξευρον ταυτα.	7 They are created now, and not in that time. And even before today, you did not hear of them; otherwise, you might say, “Behold, I knew them.”
8 Ουτε ηκουσας ουτε ηξευρες ουτε απ' αρχης ηνοιχθησαν τα ωτα σου? διοτι ηξευρον ετι βεβαιως ηθελες φερθη απιστως και εκ κοιλιας ωνομασθης παραβατης.	8 You have neither heard, nor known, nor were your ears open in that time. For I knew that you would transgress greatly, and so I called you a transgressor from the womb.
9 Ενεκεν του ονοματος μου θελω μακρυνει τον θυμον μου, και δια τον επαινον μου θελω βασταχθη προς σε, ωστε να μη σε εξολοθρευσω.	9 For the sake of my name, I will take the face of my fury far away. And for the sake of my praise, I will bridle you, lest you perish.
10 Ιδου, σε εκαθαρισα, πλην ουχι ως αργυρον? σε κατεστησα εκλεκτον εν τω χωνευτηριω της θλιψεως.	10 Behold, I have refined you, but not like silver. I have chosen you for the furnace of poverty.
11 Ενεκεν εμου, ενεκεν εμου θελω καμει τουτο? διοτι πως ηθελε μολυνθη το ονομα μου; ναι, δεν θελω δωσει την δοξαν μου εις αλλον.	11 For my sake, for my own sake, I will do it, so that I may not be blasphemed. For I will not give my glory to another.
12 Ακουσον μου, Ιακωβ, και Ισραηλ τον οποιον εγω εκαλεσα? εγω αυτος ειμαι? εγω ο πρωτος, εγω και ο εσχατος.	12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call. I am the same, I am the first, and I am the last.
13 Και η χειρ μου εθεμελιωσε την γην και η δεξια μου εμετρησε με σπιθαμην τους ουρανους? οταν καλω αυτους, παριστανται ομου.	13 Also, my hand has founded the earth, and my right hand has measured the heavens. I will call them, and they will stand together.
14 Συναχθητε, παντες σεις, και ακουσατε? τις εκ τουτων ανηγγειλε ταυτα; Ο Κυριος ηγαπησεν αυτον? οθεν θελει εκπληρωσει το θελημα αυτου επι την Βαβυλωνα και ο βραχιων αυτου θελει εισθαι επι τους Χαλδαιους.	14 Gather together, all of you, and listen. Who among them has announced these things? The Lord has loved him; he will do his will with Babylon, and his arm is upon the Chaldeans.
15 Εγω, εγω ελαλησα? ναι, εκαλεσα αυτον? εφερα αυτον και εγω θελω ευοδωσει την οδον αυτου.	15 I am, I have spoken, and I have called him. I have led him forward, and his way has been straight.
16 Πλησιασατε προς εμε, ακουσατε τουτο? απ' αρχης δεν ελαλησα εν κρυπτω? αφοτου εγεινε τουτο, εγω ημην εκει και τωρα Κυριος ο Θεος απεστειλεν εμε και το πνευμα αυτου.	16 Draw near to me, and listen to this. From the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the time before it happened, I was there. And now, the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.
17 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος, ο Λυτρωτης σου, ο Αγιος του Ισραηλ? Εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σου, ο διδασκων σε δια την ωφελειαν σου, ο οδηγων σε δια της οδου δι' ης επρεπε να υπαγης.	17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you beneficial things, who guides you in the way that you walk.
18 Ειθε να ηκουες τα προσταγματα μου τοτε η ειρηνη σου ηθελεν εισθαι ως ποταμος και η δικαιοσυνη σου ως κυματα θαλασσης?	18 If only you had paid attention to my commandments! Your peace would have been like a river, and your justice would have been like the waves of the sea,
19 και το σπερμα σου ηθελεν εισθαι ως η αμμος και τα εκγονα της κοιλιας σου ως τα λιθαρια αυτης? το ονομα αυτου δεν ηθελεν αποκοπη ουδε εξαλειφθη απ' εμπροσθεν μου.	19 and your offspring would have been like the sand, and the stock from your loins would have been like its stones. His name would not have passed away, nor would it have been worn away before my face.
20 Εξελθετε εκ της Βαβυλωνος, φευγετε απο των Χαλδαιων, μετα φωνης αλαλαγμου αναγγειλατε, διακηρυξατε τουτο, εκφωνησατε αυτο εως εσχατου της γης, ειπατε, Ο Κυριος ελυτρωσε τον δουλον αυτου Ιακωβ.	20 Depart from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Announce it with a voice of exultation. Cause it to be heard, and carry it even to the ends of the earth. Say: “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob.”
21 Και δεν εδιψησαν, οτε ωδηγει αυτους δια της ερημου? εκαμε να ρευσωσι δι' αυτους υδατα εκ πετρας? και εσχισε την πετραν και τα υδατα ερρευσαν.	21 They did not thirst in the desert, when he led them out. He produced water from the rock for them. For he split the rock, and the waters flowed out.
22 Ειρηνη δεν ειναι εις τους ασεβεις, λεγει Κυριος.	22 “There is no peace for the impious,” says the Lord.
