Isaiah 47

1 Come down, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shalt no more be called delicate and tender.

κατάβηθι κάθισον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν παρθένος θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά

2 Take a millstone and grind meal: uncover thy shame, strip thy shoulder, make bare thy legs, pass over the rivers.

λαβὲ μύλον ἄλεσον ἄλευρον ἀποκάλυψαι τὸ κατακάλυμμά σου ἀνακάλυψαι τὰς πολιάς ἀνάσυραι τὰς κνήμας διάβηθι ποταμούς

3 Thy nakedness shall be discovered, and thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and no man shall resist me.

ἀνακαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου φανήσονται οἱ ὀνειδισμοί σου τὸ δίκαιον ἐκ σοῦ λήμψομαι οὐκέτι μὴ παραδῶ ἀνθρώποις

4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε κύριος σαβαωθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἅγιος Ισραηλ

5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdoms.

κάθισον κατανενυγμένη εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων οὐκέτι μὴ κληθῇς ἰσχὺς βασιλείας

6 I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and have given them into thy bend: thou hast shewn no mercy to them: upon the ancient thou hast laid thy yoke exceeding heavy.

παρωξύνθην ἐπὶ τῷ λαῷ μου ἐμίανας τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἐγὼ ἔδωκα εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου σὺ δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς ἔλεος τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἐβάρυνας τὸν ζυγὸν σφόδρα

7 And thou hast said: I shall be a lady for ever: thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, neither hast thou remembered thy latter end.

καὶ εἶπας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσομαι ἄρχουσα οὐκ ἐνόησας ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐμνήσθης τὰ ἔσχατα

8 And now hear these things, thou that art delicate, and dwellest confidently, that sayest in thy heart: I am, and there is none else besides me: I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know barrenness.

νῦν δὲ ἄκουσον ταῦτα ἡ τρυφερὰ ἡ καθημένη πεποιθυῖα ἡ λέγουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα οὐ καθιῶ χήρα οὐδὲ γνώσομαι ὀρφανείαν

9 These two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, barrenness and widowhood. All things are come upon thee, because of the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great hardness of thy enchanters.

νῦν δὲ ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ τὰ δύο ταῦτα ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ χηρεία καὶ ἀτεκνία ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν σου σφόδρα

10 And thou best trusted in thy wickedness, and hast said: There is none that seeth me. Thy wisdom, and thy knowledge, this hath deceived thee. And thou best said in thy heart: I am, and besides me there is no other.

τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου σὺ γὰρ εἶπας ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα γνῶθι ὅτι ἡ σύνεσις τούτων καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου ἔσται σοι αἰσχύνη καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα

11 Evil shall come upon thee, and then shalt not know the rising thereof: and calamity shall fall violently upon thee, which thou canst not keep off: misery shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς βόθυνος καὶ ἐμπεσῇ εἰς αὐτόν καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ταλαιπωρία καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ καθαρὰ γενέσθαι καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἐξαπίνης ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς

12 Stand now with thy enchanters, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth, if so be it may profit thee any thing, or if thou mayst become stronger.

στῆθι νῦν ἐν ταῖς ἐπαοιδαῖς σου καὶ τῇ πολλῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἃ ἐμάνθανες ἐκ νεότητός σου εἰ δυνήσῃ ὠφεληθῆναι

13 Thou hast failed in the multitude or thy counsels: let now the astrologers stand and save thee, they that gazed at the stars, and counted the months, that from them they might tell the things that shall come to thee.

κεκοπίακας ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς σου στήτωσαν καὶ σωσάτωσάν σε οἱ ἀστρολόγοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οἱ ὁρῶντες τοὺς ἀστέρας ἀναγγειλάτωσάν σοι τί μέλλει ἐπὶ σὲ ἔρχεσθαι

14 Behold they are as stubble, fire hath burnt them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the dames: there are no coals wherewith they may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sit thereat.

ἰδοὺ πάντες ὡς φρύγανα ἐπὶ πυρὶ κατακαήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωνται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἐκ φλογός ὅτι ἔχεις ἄνθρακας πυρός κάθισαι ἐπ’ αὐτούς

15 Such are all the things become to thee, in which thou best laboured: thy merchants from thy youth, every one hath erred in his own way, there is none that can save thee.

οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοι βοήθεια ἐκοπίασας ἐν τῇ μεταβολῇ σου ἐκ νεότητος ἄνθρωπος καθ’ ἑαυτὸν ἐπλανήθη σοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔσται σωτηρία
