Isaiah 63
1 Who is this, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.
Τις ούτος, ο ερχόμενος εξ Εδώμ, με ιμάτια ερυθρά εκ Βοσόρρας; ούτος ο ένδοξος εις την στολήν αυτού, ο περιπατών εν τη μεγαλειότητι της δυνάμεως αυτού; Εγώ, ο λαλών εν δικαιοσύνη, ο ισχυρός εις το σώζειν.
2 So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?
Διά τι είναι ερυθρά η στολή σου και τα ιμάτιά σου όμοια ανθρώπου πατούντος εν ληνώ;
3 I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
Επάτησα μόνος τον ληνόν, και ουδείς εκ των λαών ήτο μετ' εμού· και κατεπάτησα αυτούς εν τω θυμώ μου και κατελάκτισα αυτούς εν τη οργή μου· και το αίμα αυτών ερραντίσθη επί τα ιμάτιά μου και εμόλυνα όλην μου την στολήν.
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
Διότι η ημέρα της εκδικήσεως ήτο εν τη καρδία μου, και έφθασεν ο ενιαυτός των λελυτρωμένων μου.
5 I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.
Και περιέβλεψα και δεν υπήρχεν ο βοηθών· και εθαύμασα ότι δεν υπήρχεν ο υποστηρίζων· όθεν ο βραχίων μου ενήργησε σωτηρίαν εις εμέ· και ο θυμός μου, αυτός με υπεστήριξε.
6 And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.
Και κατεπάτησα τους λαούς εν τη οργή μου και εμέθυσα αυτούς εκ του θυμού μου και κατεβίβασα εις την γην το αίμα αυτών.
7 I will remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
Θέλω αναφέρει τους οικτιρμούς του Κυρίου, τας αινέσεις του Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα ο Κύριος έκαμεν εις ημάς, και την μεγάλην αγαθότητα προς τον οίκον Ισραήλ, την οποίαν έδειξε προς αυτούς κατά τους οικτιρμούς αυτού και κατά το πλήθος του ελέους αυτού.
8 And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And he became their Savior.
Διότι είπε, Βεβαίως λαός μου είναι αυτοί, τέκνα τα οποία δεν θέλουσι ψευσθή· και υπήρξεν ο Σωτήρ αυτών.
9 Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.
Κατά πάσας τας θλίψεις αυτών εθλίβετο, και ο άγγελος της παρουσίας αυτού έσωσεν αυτούς· εν τη αγάπη αυτού και εν τη ευσπλαγχνία αυτού αυτός ελύτρωσεν αυτούς· και εσήκωσεν αυτούς και εβάστασεν αυτούς πάσας τας ημέρας του αιώνος.
10 But they themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war against them.
Αυτοί όμως ηπείθησαν και ελύπησαν το άγιον πνεύμα αυτού· διά τούτο εστράφη ώστε να γείνη εχθρός αυτών, αυτός επολέμησεν αυτούς.
11 And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?
Τότε ενεθυμήθη τας αρχαίας ημέρας, τον Μωϋσήν, τον λαόν αυτού, λέγων, Που είναι ο αναβιβάσας αυτούς από της θαλάσσης μετά του ποιμένος του ποιμνίου αυτού; που ο θέσας το άγιον αυτού πνεύμα εν τω μέσω αυτών;
12 He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.
Ο οδηγήσας αυτούς διά της δεξιάς του Μωϋσέως με τον ένδοξον βραχίονα αυτού, ο διασχίσας τα ύδατα έμπροσθεν αυτών, διά να κάμη εις εαυτόν όνομα αιώνιον;
13 He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.
Ο οδηγήσας αυτούς διά της αβύσσου, ως ίππον διά της ερήμου, χωρίς να προσκόψωσι;
14 Like an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.
Το πνεύμα του Κυρίου ανέπαυσεν αυτούς ως κτήνος καταβαίνον εις την κοιλάδα· ούτως ώδήγησας τον λαόν σου, διά να κάμης εις σεαυτόν ένδοξον όνομα.
15 Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.
Επίβλεψον εξ ουρανού και ιδέ εκ της κατοικίας της αγιότητός σου και της δόξης σου· που ο ζήλος σου και η δύναμίς σου, το πλήθος του ελέους σου και των οικτιρμών σου; απεκλείσθησαν εις εμέ;
16 For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
Συ βεβαίως είσαι ο Πατήρ ημών, αν και ο Αβραάμ δεν εξεύρη ημάς και ο Ισραήλ δεν γνωρίζη ημάς· συ, Κύριε, είσαι ο Πατήρ ημών· Λυτρωτής ημών είναι το όνομά σου απ' αιώνος.
17 Why have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
Διά τι Κύριε, αφήκας ημάς να αποπλανώμεθα από των οδών σου και να σκληρύνωμεν την καρδίαν ημών, ώστε να μη σε φοβώμεθα; επίστρεψον ένεκεν των δούλων σου, των φυλών της κληρονομίας σου.
18 They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. Our enemies have trampled your sanctuary.
Ως πράγμα ελάχιστον κατεκυρίευσαν τον άγιόν σου λαόν· οι εναντίοι ημών κατεπάτησαν το αγιαστήριόν σου.
19 We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.
Κατεστάθημεν ως εκείνοι, επί τους οποίους δεν εδέσποσας ποτέ ουδέ επεκλήθη το όνομά σου επ' αυτούς.
