Isaiah

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

1 τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ κατὰ Δαμασκοῦ. ἰδοὺ Δαμασκὸς ἀρθήσεται ἀπὸ πόλεων καὶ ἔσται εἰς πτῶσιν,	1 τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ κατὰ Δαμασκοῦ.–ἰδοῦ Δαμασκὸς ἀρθήσεται ἀπὸ πόλεων καὶ ἔσται εἰς πτῶσιν,

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

2 καταλελειμμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, εἰς κοίτην ποιμνίων καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διώκων.	2 καταλελειμμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, εἰς κοίτην ποιμνίων καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διώκων.
2 abandoned forever, to be a fold and resting place for flocks, and there will be no one to drive them away.	2 abandoned forever, to be a fold and resting place for flocks, and there will be no one to drive them away.

3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the sons of Israēl, says Yahweh of armies.

3 καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται ὀχυρὰ τοῦ καταφυγεῖν Ἐφραίμ, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται βασιλεία ἐν Δαμασκῷ, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τῶν Σύρων ἀπολεῖται· οὐ γὰρ σὺ βελτίων εἶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν· τάδε λέγει κύριος σαβαὼθ.	3 καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται ὀχυρὰ τοῦ καταφυγεῖν Ἐφραίμ. καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται βασιλεία ἐν Δαμασκῷ, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τῶν Σύρων ἀπολεῖται· οὐ γὰρ σὺ βελτίων εἶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαώθ.
3 And no longer will it be strong enough for Ephraim to escape to, and no longer will there be a kingdom in Damascus, and the rest of the Syrians will perish, for you are not better than the sons of Israēl and their glory. The Lord Sabaoth says this.	3 And no longer will it be strong enough for Ephraim to escape to, and no longer will there be a kingdom in Damascus, and the rest of the Syrians will perish, for you are not better than the sons of Israēl and their glory.

4 And in that day it will happen, that the glory of Jacōb shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

4 ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκλειψις τῆς δόξης Ἰακώβ, καὶ τὰ πίονα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται.	4 Ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκλειψις τῆς δόξης Ἰακώβ, καὶ τὰ πίονα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται.

5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the grain, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he who gathers ears in the valley of Rephaim.

5 καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀμητὸν ἑστηκότα καὶ σπέρμα σταχύων ἐν τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ ἀμήσῃ, καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ στάχυν ἐν φάραγγι στερεᾷ	5 καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀμητὸν ἑστηκότα καὶ σπέρμα σταχύων ἐν τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ ἀμήσῃ, καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ στάχυν ἐν φάραγγι στερεᾷ
5 And it shall be as if someone were to gather the standing crop and reap the seed of the heads of grain, and it shall be as if someone were to gather a head of grain in a solid valley;	5 And it shall be as if someone were to gather the standing crop and reap the seed of the heads of grain, and it shall be as if someone were to gather a head of grain in a solid valley;

6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches of it, says Yahweh Elohim of Israēl.

6 καὶ καταλειφθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ καλάμη ἢ ὡς ῥῶγες ἐλαίας δύο ἢ τρεῖς ἐπ’ ἄκρου μετεώρου ἢ τέσσαρες ἢ πέντε ἐπὶ τῶν κλάδων αὐτῶν καταλειφθῇ· τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ.	6 καὶ καταλειφθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ καλάμη, ἢ ὡς ῥῶγες ἐλαίας δύο ἢ τρεῖς ἐπ’ ἄκρου μετεώρου, ἢ τέσσαρες ἢ πέντε ἐπὶ τῶν κλάδων αὐτῶν καταλειφθῇ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ.
6 and as if a stalk should be left in it, or like berries of an olive tree— two or three on the topmost height, or four or five left on its branches. This is what the Lord God of Israēl says.	6 and as if a stalk should be left in it, or like berries of an olive tree— two or three on the topmost height, or four or five left on its branches.

7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israēl.

7 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ πεποιθὼς ἔσται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐμβλέψονται,	7 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ πεποιθὼς ἔσται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐμβλέψονται,
7 On that day a man will have confidence in the one who made him, and his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israēl,	7 On that day a man will have confidence in the one who made him, and his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israēl,

8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect what his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

8 καὶ οὐ μὴ πεποιθότες ὦσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς βωμοῖς οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ δάκτυλοι αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται τὰ δένδρα αὐτῶν οὐδὲ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν.	8 καὶ οὐ μὴ πεποιθότες ὦσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς βωμοῖς, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ δάκτυλοι αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται τὰ δένδρα, οὐδὲ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν.
8 and they won’t trust in the altars nor in the works of their hands, which their own fingers have made, and they won’t look at their trees nor at their abominations.	8 and they won’t trust in the altars nor in the works of their hands, which their own fingers have made, and they won’t look at their trees nor at their abominations.

9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the sons of Israēl; and there shall be desolation.

9 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσονται αἱ πόλεις σου ἐγκαταλελειμμέναι, ὃν τρόπον ἐγκατέλιπον οἱ Ἀμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔσονται ἔρημοι,	9 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσονται αἱ πόλεις σου ἐγκαταλελειμμέναι, ὃν τρόπον κατέλιπον οἱ Ἀμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔσονται ἔρημοι,
9 On that day your cities will be abandoned, just as the Amorrites and the Evaites abandoned them before the sons of Israēl, and they will be desolate.	9 On that day your cities will be abandoned, just as the Amorrites and the Evaites abandoned them before the sons of Israēl, and they will be desolate.

10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and haven’t been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore you shall plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with strange slips.

10 διότι κατέλιπες τὸν θεὸν τὸν σωτῆρά σου καὶ κυρίου τοῦ βοηθοῦ σου οὐκ ἐμνήσθης. διὰ τοῦτο φυτεύσεις φύτευμα ἄπιστον καὶ σπέρμα ἄπιστον·	10 διότι κατέλιπες τὸν Θεὸν τὸν σωτῆρά σου καὶ Κυρίου τοῦ βοηθοῦ σου οὐκ ἐμνήσθης. διὰ τοῦτο φυτεύσεις φύτευμα ἄπιστον καὶ σπέρμα ἄπιστον·
10 Because you have abandoned God your Saviour and have not remembered the Lord your helper, therefore you will plant an unbelieving plant and an unbelieving seed.	10 Because you have abandoned God your Saviour and have not remembered the Lord your helper, therefore you will plant an unbelieving plant and an unbelieving seed.

11 In the day you shall make your plant to grow, and in the morning you shall make your seed to flourish; but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

11 τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἄν φυτεύσῃς, πλανηθήσῃ· τὸ δὲ πρωί, ἐὰν σπείρῃς, ἀνθήσει εἰς ἀμητὸν ᾗ ἄν ἡμέρᾳ κληρώσῃ, καὶ ὡς πατὴρ ἀνθρώπου κληρώσῃ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου.	11 τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἄν φυτεύσῃς, πλανηθήσῃ· τὸ δὲ πρωΐ, ἐὰν σπείρῃς, ἀνθήσει εἰς ἀμητὸν ᾗ ἄν ἡμέρᾳ κληρώσῃ, καὶ ὡς πατὴρ ἀνθρώπου κληρώσῃ, καὶ ὡς πατὴρ ἀνθρώπου κληρώσῃ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου.
11 But on the day that you plant them, you will be misled, and if you sow in the morning, it will flourish for a harvest in whatever day you take possession, and like a man’s father you will take possession of it for your sons.	11 But on the day that you plant them, you will be misled, and if you sow in the morning, it will flourish for a harvest in whatever day you take possession, and like a man’s father you will take possession of it for your sons.

12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

12 οὐαὶ πλῆθος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν· ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα οὕτως ταραχθήσεσθε, καὶ νῶτος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν ὡς ὕδωρ ἠχήσει.	12 Οὐαὶ πλῆθος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν· ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα οὕτω ταραχθήσεσθε, καὶ νῶτος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν ὡς ὕδωρ ἠχήσει.
12 Alas, a multitude of many nations! Like a surging sea, so will you be troubled, and the back of many nations will roar like water.	12 Alas, a multitude of many nations! Like a surging sea, so will you be troubled, and the back of many nations will roar like water.

13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

13 ὡς ὕδωρ πολὺ ἔθνη πολλά, ὡς ὕδατος πολλοῦ βίᾳ καταφερομένου· καὶ ἀποσκορακιεῖ αὐτὸν καὶ πόρρω αὐτὸν διώξεται ὡς χνοῦν ἀχύρου λικμώντων ἀπέναντι ἀνέμου καὶ ὡς κονιορτὸν τροχοῦ καταιγὶς φέρουσα.	13 ὡς ὕδωρ πολὺ ἔθνη πολλά, ὡς ὕδατος πολλοῦ βίᾳ καταφερομένου· καὶ ἀποσκορακιεῖ αὐτὸν καὶ πόρρω αὐτὸν διώξεται ὡς χνοῦν ἀχύρου λικμώντων ἀπέναντι ἀνέμου καὶ ὡς κονιορτὸν τροχοῦ καταιγὶς φέρουσα.
13 Many nations are like much water, as when much water violently rushes down. And he will curse him and pursue him far away, like the dust of chaff when they winnow before the wind and like a storm carrying whirlwind dust.	13 Many nations are like much water, as when much water violently rushes down.

14 And behold at evening trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of those who spoil us, and the lot of those who rob us.

14 πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἔσται πένθος, πρὶν ἢ πρωῒ καὶ οὐκ ἔσται. αὕτη ἡ μερὶς τῶν ὑμᾶς προνομευσάντων καὶ κληρονομία τοῖς ὑμᾶς κληρονομήσασιν.	14 πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἔσται πένθος, πρὶν ἢ πρωῒ καὶ οὐκ ἔσται. αὕτη ἡ μερὶς τῶν προνομευσάντων ὑμᾶς καὶ κληρονομία τοῖς ὑμᾶς κληρονομήσασιν.
14 Toward evening there will be sorrow; before morning, and it won’t be. This is the portion of those who plundered you and an inheritance for those who inherited you.	14 Toward evening there will be sorrow; before morning, and it won’t be.
