Παρακαλεῖτε, παρακαλεῖτε τὸν λαόν μου, λέγει Κύριος.

ἱερεῖς, λαλήσατε εἷς τὴν καρδίαν Ἰερουσαλήμ, παρακαλέσατε αὑτήν, ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ ταπείνωσις αὐτῆς, λέλυται αὐτῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία, ὅτι ἐδέξατο
ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου διπλᾶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῆς.

Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδόν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους τοῦ
θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται, καὶ πᾶν ὅρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται· καὶ ἔσται τὰ, σκολιὰ εἷς εὐθεῖαν, καὶ ἡ τραχεῖα εἷς
ὁδοὺς λείας,

καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ δόξα Κυρίου, καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ
τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν.

Φωνὴ λέγοντος Βόησον. καὶ εἶπα Τί βοήσω; Πᾶσα σὰρξ χόρτος, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα
ἀνθρώπου ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου·

ἐξηράνθη ὃ χόρτος καὶ τὸ ἄνθος
ἐξέπεσεν, τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν μένει εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα.

Ἐπ ὄρος ὑψηλὸν ἀνάβηθι, ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Σιών· ὕψωσον τῇ ἰσχύι τὴν φωνήν σου, ὃ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Ἰερουσαλήμ· ὑψώσατε, μὴ φοιδον. . .ιδοσαν] ¹
βεῖσθε· εἶπόν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα Ἰδοὺ ὃ θεὸς ὑμῶν.

Ἰδοὺ Κύριος μετὰ. ἰσχύος ἔρχεται, καὶ ὅ βραχίων αὐτοῦ μετὰ κυρίας· ἰδοὺ ὃ
μισθὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἔργον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

ὡς ποιμὴν ποιμανεῖ τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ συνάξει ἄρνας,
καὶ έν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας παρακαλέσει.

Τίς ἐμέτρησεν τῇ χειρὶ τὰ ὕδωρ, καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν σπιθαμῇ, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν δρακί; τίς
ἔστησεν τὸ. ὄρη σταθμῷ καὶ τὰς νάπας ζυγῷ;

τίς ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, καὶ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, ὃς συμβιβάσει αὐτόν;

ἢ πρὸς τίνα συνεβουλεύσατο καὶ συνεβίβασεν αὐτόν ,- ἢ τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν; ἢ ὁδὸν συνέσεως τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ; ἦ τίς προέδωκεν
αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ;

εἰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὧς σταγὼν ἀπὸ κάδου καὶ ὡς ζυγοῦ ἐλογίσθησαν, καὶ ὡς λογισθήσονται;

ὁ δὲ Λίβανος οὔχ ἱκανὸς εἷς καῦσιν, καὶ πάντα τά.
τετράποδα οὐχ ἱκανὰ εἷς ὁλοκάρπωσιν,

καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς οὐδέν
εἰσιν, καὶ εἷς οὐθὲν ἐλογίσθησαν.

Τίνι ὡμοιώσατε Κύρων, καὶ
τίνι ὁμοιώματι ὡμοιώσατε αὐτόν;

μὴ εἰκόνα ἐποίησεν τέκτων, ἢ χρυσοχόος χωνεύσας χρυσίον περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτόν; ὁμοίωμα κατεσκεύασεν
αὐτόν;

ξύλον γὰρ ἄσηπτον ἐκλέγεται τέκτων, καὶ σοφῶς
ζητεῖ πῶς στήσει αὑτοῦ εἰκόνα, καὶ ἴνα μὴ σαλεύηται.

οὐ γνώσεσθε; οὒκ ἀκούσεσθε; οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὑμῖν; οὐκ ἔγνωτε τὰ
θεμέλια τῆς γῆς;

ὁ κατέχων τὸν γῦρον τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἶ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ὡς ἀκρίδες, ὁ στήσας ὥς καμάραν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ διατείνας
ὥς σκηνὴν κατοικεῖν,

ὁ διδοὺς ἄρχοντας εἷς οὐδὲν ἄρχειν, τὴν δὲ γῆν
οἷς οὐδὲν ἐποίησεν.

οὐ γὰρ μὴ σπείρωσιν οὐδὲ μὴ φυτεύσουσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ εἷς τὴν γῆν ἡ ῥίζα αὐτῶν· ἔπνευσεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ
ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ καταιγὶς ὥς φρύγανα ἀναλήμψεται αὐτούς.

νῦν
οὖν τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε, καὶ ὑψωθήσομαι; εἶπεν ὁ ἅγιος.

ἀναβλέψατε εἷς τὸ ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἴδετε· τίς κατέδειξεν ² πάντα ταῦτα; ὁ ἐκφέρων κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τὸν κόσμον αὐτοῦ, πάντα ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματι καλέσει ἀπὸ τῆς πολλῆς δόξης, καὶ ἐν κράτει ἰσχύος οὐδέν
σε ἔλαθεν.

Μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς, Ἰακώβ, καὶ τί ἐλόλησας, Ἰσραήλ Ἀπεκρύβη ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ὁ θεός μου τὴν κρίσιν
ἀφεῖλεν, καὶ ἀπέστη;

καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἔγνως; εἰ μὴ ἤκουσας; θεὸς αἰώνιος, θεὸς ὁ κατασκευάσας τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς, οὐ πεινάσει οὐδὲ
κοπιάσει, οὐδὲ ἔστιν ἐξεύρεσις τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ,

διδοὺς τοῖς
πεινῶσιν ἰσχύν, καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὀδυνωμένοις λύπην.

πεινάσουσιν γὰρ νεώτεροι, καὶ κοπιάσουσιν νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ ἀνίσχυες ἔσονται·

οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες τὸν θεὸν ἀλλάξουσιν ἰσχύν, πτεροφυήσουσιν ὡς ἀετοί, δραμοῦνται καὶ οὐ κοπιάσουσιν, βαδιοῦνται καὶ οὐ κεινάσουσιν.

Παρακαλεῖτε παρακαλεῖτε τὸν λαόν μου, λέγει ὁ θεός.

ἱερεῖς, λαλήσατε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν Ἰερουσαλήμ, παρακαλέσατε αὐτήν, ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ ταπείνωσις αὐτῆς· λέλυται αὐτῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία, ὅτι ἐδέξατο ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου διπλᾶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῆς.

Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται, καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται· καὶ ἔσται πάντα τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν, καὶ ἡ τραχεῖα εἰς πεδία,

καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ δόξα Κυρίου, καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν.

φωνὴ λέγοντος Βόησον. καὶ εἶπα Τί βοήσω; Πᾶσα σὰρξ χόρτος. καὶ πᾶσα δόξα ἀνθρώπου ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου·

ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν,

τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

Ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ὑψηλὸν ἀνάβηθι, ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Σειών· ὕψωσον τῇ ἰσχύι τὴν φωνήν σου, ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Ἰερουσαλήμ· ὑψώσατε, μὴ φοβεῖσθε· εἰπὸν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα Ἰδοὺ ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν.

ἰδοὺ κύριος Κύριος μετὰ ἰσχύος ἔρχεται, καὶ ὁ βραχίων μετὰ κυρίας· ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἔργον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

ὡς ποιμὴν ποιμανεῖ τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ συνάξει ἄρνας, καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας παρακαλέσει.

Τίς ἐμέτρηκεν ¹³ τῇ χειρὶ τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν σπιθαμῇ, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν δρακί; τίς ἔστησεν τὰ ὄρη σταθμῷ καὶ τὰς νάπας ζυγῷ ;

τίς ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, καὶ τίς συφοῦ σύμβουλος ἐγένετο, ὃς συμβιβᾷ αὐτόν;

ἢ πρὸς τίνα συνεβουλεύσατο καὶ συνεβίβασεν αὐτόν ; ἢ τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν; ἢ ὁδὸν συνέσεως τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ;

εἰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς σταγὼν ἀπὸ κάδου καὶ ὡς ῥοπὴ ζυγοῦ ἐλογίσθησαν, ὡς σίελος λογισθήσονται·

ὁ δὲ Λίβανος οὐχ ἱκανὸς εἰς καῦσιν, καὶ πάντα τὰ τετράποδα οὐχ ἱκανὰ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν,

καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς οὐδέν εἰσι καὶ εἰς οὐθὲν ἐλογίσθησαν.

τίνι ὡμοιώσατε Κύριον, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώματι ὡμοιώσατε αὐτόν;

μὴ εἰκόνα ἐποίησεν τέκτων, ἢ χρυσοχόος χωνεύσας χρυσίον περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτόν; ὁμοίωμα κατεσκεύασεν αὐτόν;

ξύλον γὰρ ἄσηπτον ἐκλέγεται τέκτων, καὶ σοφῶς ζητήσει πῶς στήσει αὐτοῦ εἰκόνα καὶ ἵνα μὴ σαλεύηται.

οὐ γνώσεσθε; οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε; οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὑμῖν; οὐκ ἔγνωτε τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς;

ὁ κατέχων τὸν γῦρον τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ὡς ἀκρίδες, ὁ στήσας ὡς καμάραν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ διατείνας ὡς σκηνὴν κατοικεῖν,

ὁ διδοὺς ἄρχοντας ὡς οὐδὲν ἄρχειν, τὴν δὲ γῆν ὡς οὐδὲν ἐποίησεν.

οὐ γὰρ μὴ φυτεύσωσιν οὐδὲ μὴ σπείρωσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ ῥιζωθῆ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡ ῥίζα αὐτῶν· ἔπνευσεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ καταιγὶς ὡς φρύγανα λήμψεται αὐτοὺς.

υῦν οὖν τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε, καὶ ὑψωθήσομαι; εἶπεν ὁ ἅγιος.

ἀναβλέψατε εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἴδετε· τίς κατέδειξεν πάντα ταῦτα; ὁ ἐκφέρων κατʼ ἀριθμὸν τὸν κόσμον αὐτοῦ, πάντας ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματι ⁴⁵ καλέσει ἀπὸ πολλῆς δόξης, καὶ ἐν κράτει ἰσχύος οὐδέν σε ⁶ ἔλαθεν.

Μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς. Ἰακώβ, καὶ τί ἐλάλησας, Ἰσραήλ Ἀπεκρύβη ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ὁ θεός μου τὴν κρίσιν ἀφεῖλεν καὶ ἀπέστη;

καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἔγνως ; εἰ μὴ ἤκουσας; θεὸς αἰώνιος, ὁ θεὸς ὁ κατασκευάσας τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς, οὐ πεινάσει οὐδὲ κοπιάσει, οὐδὲ ἔστιν ἐξεύρεσις τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ,

διδοὺς τοῖς πεινῶσιν ἰσχὺν καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὀδυνωμένοις λύπην.

πεινάσουσιν γὰρ νεώτεροι, καὶ κοπιάσουσιν νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ ἀνίσχυες ἔσονται·

οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες τὸν θεὸν ἀλλάξουσιν ἰσχύν, πτεροφυήσουσιν ὡς ἀετοί, δραμοῦνται καὶ οὐ κοπιάσουσιν, βαδιοῦνται καὶ οὐ πεινάσουσιν.

Translations (1)

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 40 focus

Comfort you, comfort you my people, says your God.

Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins.

The voice of one who cries, Prepare you in the wilderness the way of Yahweh; make level in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:

and the glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.

The voice of one saying, Cry. One said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of it is as the flower of the field.

The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of Yahweh blows on it; surely the people is grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain; you who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, don’t be afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those who have their young.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out the sky with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or being his counselor has taught him?

With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and shown to him the way of understanding?

Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering.

All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare to him?

The image, a workman has cast [it], and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts [for it] silver chains.

He who is too impoverished for [such] an offering chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks to him a skillful workman to set up an engraved image, that shall not be moved.

Have you not known? have yet not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

[It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in;

who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth as vanity.

Yes, they have not been planted; yes, they have not been sown; yes, their stock has not taken root in the earth: moreover he blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number; he calls them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

Why say you, Jacob, and speak, Israel, My way is hid from Yahweh, and the justice [due] to me is passed away from my God?

Have you not known? have you not heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding.

He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

but those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
