< Ἠσαΐας 33 >

1 οὐαὶ τοῖς ταλαιπωροῦσιν ὑμᾶς ὑμᾶς δὲ οὐδεὶς ποιεῖ ταλαιπώρους καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς οὐκ ἀθετεῖ ἁλώσονται οἱ ἀθετοῦντες καὶ παραδοθήσονται καὶ ὡς σὴς ἐπὶ ἱματίου οὕτως ἡττηθήσονται
Woe, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.
2 κύριε ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ σοὶ γὰρ πεποίθαμεν ἐγενήθη τὸ σπέρμα τῶν ἀπειθούντων εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἡ δὲ σωτηρία ἡμῶν ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως
O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.
3 διὰ φωνὴν τοῦ φόβου σου ἐξέστησαν λαοὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου σου καὶ διεσπάρησαν τὰ ἔθνη
From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.
4 νῦν δὲ συναχθήσεται τὰ σκῦλα ὑμῶν μικροῦ καὶ μεγάλου ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀκρίδας οὕτως ἐμπαίξουσιν ὑμῖν
And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.
5 ἅγιος ὁ θεὸς ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν ὑψηλοῖς ἐνεπλήσθη Σιων κρίσεως καὶ δικαιοσύνης
Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
6 ἐν νόμῳ παραδοθήσονται ἐν θησαυροῖς ἡ σωτηρία ἡμῶν ἐκεῖ σοφία καὶ ἐπιστήμη καὶ εὐσέβεια πρὸς τὸν κύριον οὗτοί εἰσιν θησαυροὶ δικαιοσύνης
And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah — it [is] His treasure.
7 ἰδοὺ δὴ ἐν τῷ φόβῳ ὑμῶν αὐτοὶ φοβηθήσονται οὓς ἐφοβεῖσθε φοβηθήσονται ἀφ’ ὑμῶν ἄγγελοι γὰρ ἀποσταλήσονται ἀξιοῦντες εἰρήνην πικρῶς κλαίοντες παρακαλοῦντες εἰρήνην
Lo, 'Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
8 ἐρημωθήσονται γὰρ αἱ τούτων ὁδοί πέπαυται ὁ φόβος τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἡ πρὸς τούτους διαθήκη αἴρεται καὶ οὐ μὴ λογίσησθε αὐτοὺς ἀνθρώπους
Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man.
9 ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ ᾐσχύνθη ὁ Λίβανος ἕλη ἐγένετο ὁ Σαρων φανερὰ ἔσται ἡ Γαλιλαία καὶ ὁ Κάρμηλος
Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.
10 νῦν ἀναστήσομαι λέγει κύριος νῦν δοξασθήσομαι νῦν ὑψωθήσομαι
Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11 νῦν ὄψεσθε νῦν αἰσθηθήσεσθε ματαία ἔσται ἡ ἰσχὺς τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν πῦρ ὑμᾶς κατέδεται
Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! — fire devoureth you.
12 καὶ ἔσονται ἔθνη κατακεκαυμένα ὡς ἄκανθα ἐν ἀγρῷ ἐρριμμένη καὶ κατακεκαυμένη
And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn.
13 ἀκούσονται οἱ πόρρωθεν ἃ ἐποίησα γνώσονται οἱ ἐγγίζοντες τὴν ἰσχύν μου
Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might.
14 ἀπέστησαν οἱ ἐν Σιων ἄνομοι λήμψεται τρόμος τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν ὅτι πῦρ καίεται τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν τὸν τόπον τὸν αἰώνιον
Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us — consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us — burnings of the age?
15 πορευόμενος ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ λαλῶν εὐθεῖαν ὁδόν μισῶν ἀνομίαν καὶ ἀδικίαν καὶ τὰς χεῖρας ἀποσειόμενος ἀπὸ δώρων βαρύνων τὰ ὦτα ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσῃ κρίσιν αἵματος καμμύων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἵνα μὴ ἴδῃ ἀδικίαν
Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
16 οὗτος οἰκήσει ἐν ὑψηλῷ σπηλαίῳ πέτρας ἰσχυρᾶς ἄρτος αὐτῷ δοθήσεται καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτοῦ πιστόν
He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.
17 βασιλέα μετὰ δόξης ὄψεσθε καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ὄψονται γῆν πόρρωθεν
A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
18 ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν μελετήσει φόβον ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ γραμματικοί ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ συμβουλεύοντες ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ ἀριθμῶν τοὺς τρεφομένους
Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
19 μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν λαόν ᾧ οὐ συνεβουλεύσαντο οὐδὲ ᾔδει βαθύφωνον ὥστε μὴ ἀκοῦσαι λαὸς πεφαυλισμένος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν τῷ ἀκούοντι σύνεσις
The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
20 ἰδοὺ Σιων ἡ πόλις τὸ σωτήριον ἡμῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται Ιερουσαλημ πόλις πλουσία σκηναὶ αἳ οὐ μὴ σεισθῶσιν οὐδὲ μὴ κινηθῶσιν οἱ πάσσαλοι τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτῆς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον οὐδὲ τὰ σχοινία αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ διαρραγῶσιν
See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.
21 ὅτι τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου μέγα ὑμῖν τόπος ὑμῖν ἔσται ποταμοὶ καὶ διώρυγες πλατεῖς καὶ εὐρύχωροι οὐ πορεύσῃ ταύτην τὴν ὁδόν οὐδὲ πορεύσεται πλοῖον ἐλαῦνον
But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers — streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.
22 ὁ γὰρ θεός μου μέγας ἐστίν οὐ παρελεύσεταί με κύριος κριτὴς ἡμῶν κύριος ἄρχων ἡμῶν κύριος βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν κύριος οὗτος ἡμᾶς σώσει
For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king — He doth save us.
23 ἐρράγησαν τὰ σχοινία σου ὅτι οὐκ ἐνίσχυσεν ὁ ἱστός σου ἔκλινεν οὐ χαλάσει τὰ ἱστία οὐκ ἀρεῖ σημεῖον ἕως οὗ παραδοθῇ εἰς προνομήν τοίνυν πολλοὶ χωλοὶ προνομὴν ποιήσουσιν
Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil.
24 καὶ οὐ μὴ εἴπῃ κοπιῶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ ἐνοικῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἀφέθη γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἡ ἁμαρτία
Nor doth an inhabitant say, 'I was sick,' The people that is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity!
