Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Όρασις Ησαΐου υιού Αμώς, την οποίαν είδε περί του Ιούδα και της Ιερουσαλήμ, εν ταις ημέραις Οζίου Ιωάθαμ, Άχαζ και Εζεκίου, βασιλέων Ιούδα.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Ακούσατε, ουρανοί, και ακροάσθητι, γή· διότι ο Κύριος ελάλησεν· Υιούς έθρεψα και ύψωσα, αλλ' αυτοί απεστάτησαν απ' εμού.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
Ο βους γνωρίζει τον κτήτορα αυτού και ο όνος την φάτνην του κυρίου αυτού ο Ισραήλ δεν γνωρίζει, ο λαός μου δεν εννοεί.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Ουαί, έθνος αμαρτωλόν, λαέ πεφορτωμένε ανομίαν, σπέρμα κακοποιών υιοί διεφθαρμένοι εγκατέλιπον τον Κύριον, κατεφρόνησαν τον Άγιον του Ισραήλ, εστράφησαν εις τα οπίσω.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Διά τι παιδευόμενοι θέλετε επιπροσθέτει στασιασμόν; όλη η κεφαλή είναι άρρωστος και όλη η καρδία κεχαυνωμένη·
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
από ίχνους ποδός μέχρι κεφαλής δεν υπάρχει εν αυτώ ακεραιότης αλλά τραύματα και μελανίσματα και έλκη σεσηπότα δεν εξεπιέσθησαν ουδέ εδέθησαν ουδέ εμαλακώθησαν δι' αλοιφής
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
η γη σας είναι έρημος, αι πόλεις σας πυρίκαυστοι την γην σας ξένοι κατατρώγουσιν έμπροσθέν σας· και είναι έρημος, ως πεπορθημένη υπό αλλοφύλων
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
και η θυγάτηρ Σιών εγκαταλελειμμένη ως καλύβη εν αμπελώνι, ως οπωροφυλάκιον εν κήπω αγγουρίων ως πόλις πολιορκουμένη.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Αν ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων δεν ήθελεν αφήσει εις ημάς μικρόν υπόλοιπον, ως τα Σόδομα ηθέλομεν γείνει, με τα Γόμορρα ηθέλομεν εξομοιωθή.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Ακούσατε τον λόγον του Κυρίου, άρχοντες Σοδόμων ακροάσθητι τον νόμον του Θεού ημών, λαέ Γομόρρων.
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
Τίνα χρείαν έχω του πλήθους των θυσιών σας; λέγει Κύριος· κεχορτασμένος είμαι από ολοκαυτωμάτων κριών και από πάχους των σιτευτών και δεν ευαρεστούμαι εις αίμα ταύρων ή αρνίων ή τράγων.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Όταν έρχησθε να εμφανισθήτε ενώπιόν μου, τις εζήτησεν εκ των χειρών σας τούτο, να πατήτε τας αυλάς μου;
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Μη φέρετε πλέον, ματαίας προσφοράς το θυμίαμα είναι βδέλυγμα εις εμέ τας νεομηνίας και τα σάββατα, την συγκάλεσιν των συνάξεων, δεν δύναμαι να υποφέρω, ανομίαν και πανηγυρικήν σύναξιν.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Τας νεομηνίας σας και τας διατεταγμένας εορτάς σας μισεί η ψυχή μου είναι φορτίον εις εμέ εβαρύνθην να υποφέρω.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Και όταν εκτείνητε τας χείρας σας, θέλω κρύπτει τους οφθαλμούς μου από σας ναι, όταν πληθύνητε δεήσεις, δεν θέλω εισακούει αι χείρές σας είναι πλήρεις αιμάτων.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Λούσθητε, καθαρίσθητε· αποβάλετε την κακίαν των πράξεών σας απ' έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών μου παύσατε πράττοντες το κακόν,
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
μάθετε να πράττητε το καλόν· εκζητήσατε κρίσιν, κάμετε ευθύτητα εις τον δεδυναστευμένον, κρίνατε τον ορφανόν, προστατεύσατε την δίκην της χήρας
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Έλθετε τώρα, και ας διαδικασθώμεν, λέγει Κύριος εάν αι αμαρτίαι σας ήναι ως το πορφυρούν, θέλουσι γείνει λευκαί ως χιών εάν ήναι ερυθραί ως κόκκινον, θέλουσι γείνει ως λευκόν μαλλίον.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Εάν θέλητε και υπακούσητε, θέλετε φάγει τα αγαθά της γής·
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
εάν όμως δεν θέλητε και αποστατήσητε, θέλετε καταφαγωθή υπό μαχαίρας διότι το στόμα του Κυρίου ελάλησε.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Πως η πιστή πόλις κατεστάθη πόρνη, ήτο πλήρης κρίσεων η δικαιοσύνη κατώκει εν αυτή αλλά τώρα, φονείς.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Ο άργυρός σου κατεστάθη σκωρία, ο οίνός σου συνεκεράσθη μεθ' ύδατος.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Οι άρχοντές σου είναι απειθείς και σύντροφοι κλεπτών· πάντες αγαπώσι δώρα και κυνηγούσιν αντιπληρωμάς δεν κρίνουσι τον ορφανόν ουδέ έρχεται η δίκη της χήρας προς αυτούς.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Διά τούτο λέγει ο Κύριος, ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, ο Κραταιός του Ισραήλ, Ω, θέλω χορτασθή επί τους εναντίους μου και θέλω εκδικηθή κατά των εχθρών μου
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
και θέλω στρέψει την χείρα μου επί σε και αποκαθαρίσει την σκωρίαν σου και αφαιρέσει όλον σου τον κασσίτερον.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
Και θέλω αποκαταστήσει τους κριτάς σου ως το πρότερον και τους συμβούλους σου ως το απ' αρχής μετά ταύτα θέλεις ονομασθή η πόλις της δικαιοσύνης, η πιστή πόλις.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Η Σιών θέλει εξαγορασθή διά κρίσεως, και οι επιστρέψαντες αυτής διά δικαιοσύνης.
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Και οι παράνομοι και οι αμαρτωλοί ομού θέλουσι καταστραφή, και οι εγκαταλιπόντες τον Κύριον θέλουσι καταναλωθή.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Διότι θέλετε καταισχυνθή διά τα άλση, τα οποία επεθυμήσατε, και θέλετε εντραπή διά τους κήπους, τους οποίους εξελέξατε.
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Επειδή θέλετε γείνει ως δρυς, της οποίας τα φύλλα μαραίνονται, και ως κήπος, όστις δεν έχει ύδωρ.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
Και ο ισχυρός θέλει είσθαι ως καλάμιον στυπίου, και το έργον αυτού ως σπινθήρ, και θέλουσι καυθή και τα δύο ομού, και δεν θέλει είσθαι ο σβύνων.
