LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 τις ουτος ο παραγινομενος εξ εδωμ ερυθημα ιματιων εκ βοσορ ουτως ωραιος εν στολη βια μετα ισχυος εγω διαλεγομαι δικαιοσυνην και κρισιν σωτηριου	1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah in crimson garments, so magnificently dressed, marchingso ful of strength? - It is I, whose word is saving justice, whose power is to save.
2 δια τι σου ερυθρα τα ιματια και τα ενδυματα σου ως απο πατητου ληνου	2 -Why are your garments red, your clothes like someone treading the winepress?
3 πληρης καταπεπατημενης και των εθνων ουκ εστιν ανηρ μετ' εμου και κατεπατησα αυτους εν θυμω και κατεθλασα αυτους ως γην και κατηγαγον το αιμα αυτων εις γην	3 -I have trodden the winepress alone; of my people, not one was with me. So I trod them down in myanger, I trampled on them in my wrath. Their blood squirted over my garments and al my clothes are stained.
4 ημερα γαρ ανταποδοσεως επηλθεν αυτοις και ενιαυτος λυτρωσεως παρεστιν	4 For I have decided on a day of vengeance, my year of retribution has come.
5 και επεβλεψα και ουδεις βοηθος και προσενοησα και ουθεις αντελαμβανετο και ερρυσατο αυτους ο βραχιων μου και ο θυμος μου επεστη	5 I looked: there was no one to help me; I was appal ed but could find no supporter! Then my own armcame to my rescue and my own fury supported me.
6 και κατεπατησα αυτους τη οργη μου και κατηγαγον το αιμα αυτων εις γην	6 I crushed the peoples in my anger, I shattered them in my fury and sent their blood streaming to theground.
7 τον ελεον κυριου εμνησθην τας αρετας κυριου εν πασιν οις ο κυριος ημιν ανταποδιδωσιν κυριος κριτης αγαθος τω οικω ισραηλ επαγει ημιν κατα το ελεος αυτου και κατα το πληθος της δικαιοσυνης αυτου	7 I shal recount Yahweh's acts of faithful love, Yahweh's praises, in return for all that Yahweh has donefor us, for his great kindness to the House of Israel, for all that he has done in his mercy, for the abundance ofhis acts of faithful love.
8 και ειπεν ουχ ο λαος μου τεκνα ου μη αθετησωσιν και εγενετο αυτοις εις σωτηριαν	8 For he said, 'Truly they are my people, children who will not betray me,' and he became their Saviour.
9 εκ πασης θλιψεως ου πρεσβυς ουδε αγγελος αλλ' αυτος κυριος εσωσεν αυτους δια το αγαπαν αυτους και φειδεσθαι αυτων αυτος ελυτρωσατο αυτους και ανελαβεν αυτους και υψωσεν αυτους πασας τας ημερας του αιωνος	9 In al their troubles, it was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them. In his love and pityhe himself redeemed them, lifted them up and carried them throughout the days of old.
10 αυτοι δε ηπειθησαν και παρωξυναν το πνευμα το αγιον αυτου και εστραφη αυτοις εις εχθραν και αυτος επολεμησεν αυτους	10 But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit. Then he became their enemy and himself waged war onthem.
11 και εμνησθη ημερων αιωνιων ο αναβιβασας εκ της γης τον ποιμενα των προβατων που εστιν ο θεις εν αυτοις το πνευμα το αγιον	11 But he cal ed the past to mind, Moses his servant. Where is he who saved them from the sea, theShepherd of his flock? Where was he who put his holy Spirit among them,
12 ο αγαγων τη δεξια μωυσην ο βραχιων της δοξης αυτου κατισχυσεν υδωρ απο προσωπου αυτου ποιησαι αυτω ονομα αιωνιον	12 whose glorious arm led the way by Moses' right hand? Who divided the waters before them to winhimself everlasting renown,
13 ηγαγεν αυτους δια της αβυσσου ως ιππον δι' ερημου και ουκ εκοπιασαν	13 who led them through the depths as easily as a horse through the desert? They stumbled as little
14 και ως κτηνη δια πεδιου κατεβη πνευμα παρα κυριου και ωδηγησεν αυτους ουτως ηγαγες τον λαον σου ποιησαι σεαυτω ονομα δοξης	14 as cattle going down to the plain. Yahweh's Spirit led them to rest. This was how you guided yourpeople to win yourself glorious renown.
15 επιστρεψον εκ του ουρανου και ιδε εκ του οικου του αγιου σου και δοξης που εστιν ο ζηλος σου και η ισχυς σου που εστιν το πληθος του ελεους σου και των οικτιρμων σου οτι ανεσχου ημων	15 Look down from heaven and see from your holy and glorious dwel ing. Where is your zeal and yourmight? Are your deepest feelings, your mercy to me, to be restrained?
16 συ γαρ ημων ει πατηρ οτι αβρααμ ουκ εγνω ημας και ισραηλ ουκ επεγνω ημας αλλα συ κυριε πατηρ ημων ρυσαι ημας απ' αρχης το ονομα σου εφ' ημας εστιν	16 After all, you are our Father. If Abraham will not own us, if Israel wil not acknowledge us, you,Yahweh, are our Father, 'Our Redeemer' is your name from of old.
17 τι επλανησας ημας κυριε απο της οδου σου εσκληρυνας ημων τας καρδιας του μη φοβεισθαι σε επιστρεψον δια τους δουλους σου δια τας φυλας της κληρονομιας σου	17 Why, Yahweh, do you let us wander from your ways and let our hearts grow too hard to fear you?Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.
18 ινα μικρον κληρονομησωμεν του ορους του αγιου σου οι υπεναντιοι ημων κατεπατησαν το αγιασμα σου	18 Your holy people have owned it for so short a time, our enemies have trampled on your sanctuary.
19 εγενομεθα ως το απ' αρχης οτε ουκ ηρξας ημων ουδε επεκληθη το ονομα σου εφ' ημας εαν ανοιξης τον ουρανον τρομος λημψεται απο σου ορη και τακησονται	19 We have long been like those you do not rule, people who do not bear your name. Oh, that you wouldtear the heavens open and come down -- in your presence the mountains would quake,
