Isaiah

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

1 κατάβηθι κάθισον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, παρθένος θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος, θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων, ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά.	1 κατάβηθι, κάθισον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, παρθένος, θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος, θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων, ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά.
1 Come down; sit on the ground, virgin daughter of Babylon. Enter the darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans, because you shall no longer be called tender and spoiled.	1 Come down; sit on the ground, virgin daughter of Babylon. Enter the darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans, because you shall no longer be called tender and spoiled.

2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover your locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

2 λαβὲ μύλον, ἄλεσον ἄλευρον, ἀποκάλυψαι τὸ κατακάλυμμά σου, ἀνακάλυψαι τὰς πολιάς, ἀνάσυραι τὰς κνήμας, διάβηθι ποταμούς·	2 λάβε μύλον, ἄλεσον ἄλευρον, ἀποκάλυψαι τὸ κατακάλυμμά σου, ἀνακάλυψαι τὰς πολιάς, ἀνάσυρε τὰς κνήμας, διάβηθι ποταμούς·
2 Take a millstone; grind flour; uncover your covering; uncover your gray hairs; pull up your shins; pass through rivers.	2 Take a millstone; grind flour; uncover your covering; uncover your gray hairs; pull up your shins; pass through rivers.

3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I won’t meet you as a man.

3 ἀνακαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου, φανήσονται οἱ ὀνειδισμοί σου· τὸ δίκαιον ἐκ σου λήμψομαι, οὐκέτι μὴ παραδῶ ἀνθρώποις.	3 ἀνακαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου, φανήσονται οἱ ὀνειδισμοί σου· τὸ δίκαιον ἐκ σοῦ λήψομαι, οὐκέτι μὴ παραδῶ ἀνθρώποις.
3 Your shame shall be uncovered; your disgrace shall be seen. I will take what is right from you; I will no longer deliver you over to men.	3 Your shame shall be uncovered; your disgrace shall be seen. I will take what is right from you; I will no longer deliver you over to men.

4 As for our redeemer, Yahweh of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israēl.

4 εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σὲ κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἅγιος Ἰσραὴλ	4 εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε Κύριος σαβαώθ, ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἅγιος Ἰσραήλ·
4 He who rescued you–the Lord Sabaōth is his name, the Holy One of Israēl–has said.	4 He who rescued you–the Lord Sabaōth is his name, the Holy One of Israēl–has said.

5 Sit silent, and get you into darkness, Oh daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

5 κάθισον κατανενυγμένη, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος, θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων, οὐκέτι μὴ κληθῇς ἰσχὺς βασιλείας.	5 κάθισον κατανενυγμένη, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος, θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων, οὐκέτι μὴ κληθήσῃ ἰσχὺς βασιλείας.
5 Sit stunned; enter the darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans! You shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.	5 Sit stunned; enter the darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans! You shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.

6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into your hand: you did show them no mercy; on the ancient have you very heavily laid your yoke.

6 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.	6 παρωξύνθην ἐπὶ τῷ λαῷ μου, ἐμίανας τὴν κληρονομίαν μου· ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου, σὺ δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς ἔλεος, τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἐβάρυνας τὸν ζυγὸν σφόδρα.
6 I was provoked at my people; you defiled my heritage. I gave them into your hand, but you didn’t give them mercy; you made the yoke of the elder exceedingly heavy.	6 I was provoked at my people; you defiled my heritage. I gave them into your hand, but you didn’t give them mercy; you made the yoke of the elder exceedingly heavy.

7 And you said, I shall be a lady forever; so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of it.

7 καὶ εἶπας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσομαι ἄρχουσα· οὐκ ἐνόησας ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐμνήσθης τὰ ἔσχατα.	7 καὶ εἶπας· εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσομαι ἄρχουσα· οὐκ ἐνόησας ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, οὐδὲ ἐμνήσθης τὰ ἔσχατα.
7 And you said, “I shall be ruling forever”; you didn’t think these things in your heart, nor did you remember the last things.	7 And you said, “I shall be ruling forever”; you didn’t think these things in your heart, nor did you remember the last things.

8 Therefore hear now this, you who are given to pleasures, that dwells carelessly, that say in your heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children.

8 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.	8 νῦν δὲ ἄκουε ταῦτα, ἡ τρυφερά, ἡ καθημένη πεποιθυῖα, ἡ λέγουσα ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς· ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐστιν ἑτέρα· οὐ καθιῶ χήρα οὐδὲ γνώσομαι ὀρφανίαν.
8 But now hear these things, you spoiled woman, who sits confidently, who says in her heart, “I am, and there is no other; I won’t sit as a widow or know bereavement.”	8 But now hear these things, you spoiled woman, who sits confidently, who says in her heart, “I am, and there is no other; I won’t sit as a widow or know bereavement.”

9 But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come on you in their perfection for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great abundance of your enchantments.

9 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 ἰσχύϊ τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν σου σφόδρα	9 νῦν δὲ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ τὰ δύο ταῦτα ἐξαίφνης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ· ἀτεκνία καὶ χηρεία ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου, ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν σου σφόδρα,
9 But now both these things shall come on you suddenly, in one day: widowhood and childlessness shall come on you suddenly in your sorcery, exceedingly in the strength of your enchanters,	9 But now both these things shall come on you suddenly, in one day: widowhood and childlessness shall come on you suddenly in your sorcery, exceedingly in the strength of your enchanters,

10 For you have trusted in your wickedness: you have said, None sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you; and you have said in your heart, I am, and none else beside me.

10 τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου. σὺ γὰρ εἶπας ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα. γνῶθι ὅτι ἡ σύνεσις τούτων καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου ἔσται σοί αἰσχύνη. καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα.	10 τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου· σὺ γὰρ εἶπας· ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐστιν ἑτέρα. γνῶθι, ὅτι ἡ σύνεσις τούτων καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου ἔσται σοι αἰσχύνη. καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐστιν ἑτέρα.
10 in the hope of your evil, for you said, “I am and there is no other.” Know that the understanding of these things and your prostitution shall be your shame. And you said in your heart, “I am, and there is no other.”	10 in the hope of your evil, for you said, “I am and there is no other.” Know that the understanding of these things and your prostitution shall be your shame. And you said in your heart, “I am, and there is no other.”

11 Therefore shall evil come on you; you shall not know from where it rises; and mischief shall fall on you; you shall not be able to put it off; and desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you shall not know.

11 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.	11 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.
11 But destruction shall come on you, and you won’t know it; a pit, and you shall fall into it. And misery shall come on you, and you won’t be able to become clear of it, and destruction shall come on you suddenly, and you won’t know it.	11 But destruction shall come on you, and you won’t know it; a pit, and you shall fall into it. And misery shall come on you, and you won’t be able to become clear of it, and destruction shall come on you suddenly, and you won’t know it.

12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have laboured from your youth; perhaps shall be able to profit, perhaps may prevail.

12 στῆθι νῦν ἐν ταῖς ἐπαοιδαῖς σου καὶ τῇ πολλῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου, ἃ ἐμάνθανες ἐκ νεότητός σου, εἰ δυνήσῃ ὠφεληθῆναι.	12 στῆθι νῦν ἐν ταῖς ἐπαοιδαῖς σου καὶ ἐν τῇ πολλῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου, ἃ ἐμάνθανες ἐκ νεότητός σου, εἰ δυνήσῃ ὠφεληθῆναι.
12 Stand now in your incantations and your abundant sorcery, which you learned from your youth, if you will be able to be benefitted.	12 Stand now in your incantations and your abundant sorcery, which you learned from your youth, if you will be able to be benefitted.

13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from these things that shall come on you.

13 κεκοπίακας ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς σου· στήτωσαν καὶ σωσάτωσάν σὲ οἱ ἀστρολόγοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, οἱ ὁρῶντες τοὺς ἀστέρας ἀναγγειλάτωσάν σοί τί μέλλει ἐπὶ σὲ ἔρχεσθαι.	13 κεκοπίακας ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς σου· στήτωσαν δὴ καὶ σωσάτωσάν σε οἱ ἀστρολόγοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, οἱ ὁρῶντες τοὺς ἀστέρας ἀναγγειλάτωσάν σοι τί μέλλει ἐπὶ σὲ ἔρχεσθαι.
13 You have become weary with your advices; let the astrologers of the sky stand up and save you, those who look at the stars; let them declare to you what is about to come for you.	13 You have become weary with your advices; let the astrologers of the sky now stand up and save you, those who look at the stars; let them declare to you what is about to come for you.

14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

14 ἰδοὺ πάντες ὡς φρύγανα ἐπὶ πυρὶ κατακαυθήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωνται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἐκ φλογός· ὅτι ἔχεις ἄνθρακας πυρός, κάθισαι ἐπ’ αὐτούς.	14 ἰδοὺ πάντες ὡς φρύγανα ἐπὶ πυρὶ κατακαυθήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωνται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἐκ φλογός· ὅτι ἔχεις ἄνθρακας πυρός, κάθισαι ἐπ’ αὐτούς.
14 Look! They all will all be burned like brushwood on a fire, and they won’t rescue their soul from the flame; since you have coals of fire, sit on them;	14 Look! They all will all be burned like brushwood on a fire, and they won’t rescue their soul from the flame; since you have coals of fire, sit on them;

15 Thus shall they be to you with whom you have laboured, even your merchants, from your youth: they shall wander everyone to his quarter; none shall save you.

15 οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοί βοήθεια, ἐκοπίασας ἐν τῇ μεταβολῇ σου ἐκ νεότητος, ἄνθρωπος καθ’ ἑαυτὸν ἐπλανήθη, σοί δὲ οὐκ ἔσται σωτηρίᾳ.	15 οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοι βοήθεια, ἐκοπίασας ἐν τῇ μεταβολῇ ἐκ νεότητος, ἄνθρωπος καθ’ ἑαυτὸν ἐπλανήθη, σοί δὲ οὐκ ἔσται σωτηρία.
15 these will be a help to you. You have become exhausted in your traffic from your youth; a man has deceived by himself, but for you there will be no salvation.	15 these will be a help to you. You have become exhausted in your traffic from your youth; a man has deceived by himself, but for you there will be no salvation.
