Ἀκούσατέ μου, νῆσοι, καὶ προσέχετε, ἔθνη· διὰ. χρόνου πολλοῦ στήσεται, λέγει Κύριος. ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου ἐκάλεσεν
τὸ ὄνομά μου,

καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ στόμα μου ὡσεὶ μάχαιραν ὀξεῖαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔκρυψέν με· ἔθηκέν με
ὥς βέλος ἐκλεκτόν, καὶ ἐν τῇ φαρέτρα αὐτοῦ ἐσκέπασέν με,

καὶ εἶπεν μοι Δοῦλός μου εἶ σύ, Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐν σοὶ δοξασθήσομαι.

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Κενῶς ἐκοπίασα, καὶ εἷς μάταιον καὶ εἷς οὐθὲν ἔδωκα τὴν ἰσχύν μου· διὰ τοῦτο ἡ κρίσις μου παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ ὃ πόνος
μου ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ μου.

καὶ νῦν οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὅ πλάσας με ἐκ κοιλίας δοῦλον ἑαυτῷ τοῦ συναγαγεῖν τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς αὐτόν Συναχθήσομαι καὶ δοξασθήσομαι ἐναντίον Κυρίου, καὶ
ὅ θεός μου ἔσται μου ἰσχύς.

καὶ εἶπέν μοι Μέγα σοί ἐστιν τοῦ κληθῆναί σε παῖδά μου, τοῦ στῆσαι τὰς φυλὰς Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὴν διασπορὰν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψαι· ἰδοὺ τέθεικά σε εἷς φῶς ἐθνῶν,
τοῦ εἷναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὃ ῥυσάμενός σε ὅ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ Ἁγιάσατε τὸν φαυλίζοντα τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, τὸν βδελυσσόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν δούλων τῶν ἀρχόντων· βασιλεῖς ὄψονται αὐτόν, καὶ ἀναστήσονται ἄρχοντες καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ ἕνεκεν Κυρίου· ὅτι πιστός ἐστιν ὃ ἅγιος
Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐξελεξάμην σε.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι, καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην ἐθνῶν, τοῦ καταστῆσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ κληρονομῆσαι
κληρονομίαν ἐρήμου,

λέγοντα τοῖς ἐν δεσμοῖς Ἐξέλθατε, καὶ τοῖς ¹ ἐν τῷ σκότει ἀνακαλυφθῆναι. καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν
βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς τρίβοις ἡ νομὴ αὐτῶν.

οὑ πεινάσουσιν, οὐδὲ διψήσουσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ πατάξει αὐτοὺς καύσων οὐδὲ ὃ ἥλιος, ἀλλὰ ὁ ἐλεῶν αὐτοὺς παρακαλέσει, καὶ διὸ, πηγῶν ὑδάτων
ἄξει αὐτούς·

καὶ θήσω πᾶν ὅρος εἷς ὁδὸν καὶ πᾶσαν τρίβον εἷς
βόσκημα αὐτοῖς.

ἰδοὺ ἰδοὺ οὗτοι πόρρωθεν ἔρχονται, οὗτοι ἀπὸ βορρᾶ
καὶ οὗτοι ἀπὸ θαλάσσης, ἄλλοι δὲ ἐκ γῆς Περσῶν.

εὐφραίνεσθε, οὐρανοί, καὶ ἀγαλλίσαθω ἦ γῆ, ῥηξάτωσαν τὰ ὅρη εὐφροσύνην, ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
παρεκάλεσεν.

Εἶπεν δὲ Σιών Ἐγκατέλιπέν με Κύριος, καὶ ὃ
θεὸς ἐπελάθετό μου.

μὴ μὴ ἐπιλήσεται μήτηρ τοῦ παιδίου αὐτῆς. τοῦ μὴ ἐλεῆσαι τὸ, ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας αὐτῆς; εἶ δὲ καὶ ἐπιλάθοιτο
ταῦτα γυνή, ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἐπιλήσομαι σοῦ, εἶπεν Κύριος.

ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐζωγράφησά σου τὸ. τείχη, καὶ ἐνώπιόν μου εἲ
διὸ. παντός,

καὶ ταχὺ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ ὑφ’ ὥν καθῃρέθης, καὶ οἱ ἐρη-
μώσαντές σε ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσονται.

ἆρον κύκλῳ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἴδε πάντες, ἰδοὺ συνήχθησαν καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς σέ· ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι πάντας αὐτοὺς ἐνδύσῃ, καὶ περιθήσῃ αὐτοὺς ὡς
κόσμον νύμφης.

ὅτι τὸ. ἔρημά σου καὶ τὰ διεφθαρμένα καὶ τὸ. πεπτωκότα, νῦν στενοχωρήσει ἀπὸ τῶν ἐνοικούντων, καὶ μακρυνθήσονται
ἀπὸ σοῦ οἱ καταπίνοντές σε.

ἐροῦσιν γὰρ εἷς τὰ ὦτά σου οἶ υἱοί σου οὕς ἀπολώλεκας Στενός μοι ὅ τόπος, ποίησόν μοι τόπον
ἵνα κατοικήσω.

καὶ ἐρεῖς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου Τίς ἐγέννησέν μοι τούτους; ἐγὼ δὲ ἄτεκνος καὶ χήρα, τούτους δὲ τίς ἐξέθρεψέν μοι;
ἐγὼ δὲ κατελείφθην μόνη, οὗτοι δέ μοι ποῦ ἦσαν;

Οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ αἴρω εἷς τὸ. ἔθνη τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ εἷς τὰς νήσους ἀρῶ σύνσημόν μου, καὶ ἄξουσιν τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν κόλπῳ, τὰς δὲ ²
θυγατέρας σου ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀροῦσιν,

καὶ ἔσονται βασιλεῖς τιθηνοί σου, αἶ δὲ ἄρχουσαι τροφοί σου· ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς προσκυνήσουσίν σοι, καὶ τὸν χοῦν τῶν ποδῶν σου λίξουσιν· καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι
ἐγὼ Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσῃ.

Μὴ λήμψεταί τις παρὰ. γίγαντος
σκῦλα; καὶ ἐὰν αἰχμαλωτεύσῃ τις ἀδίκως, σωθήσεται;

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Ἐάν τις αἰχμαλωτεύσῃ γίγαντα, λήμψεται σκῦλα· λαμβάνων δὲ παρὰ ἰσχύοντος σωθήσεται· ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν κρίσιν σου κρινῶ, καὶ
ἐγὼ τοὺς υἱούς σου ῥύσομαι.

καὶ φάγονται οἱ θλίβοντές σε τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν, καὶ πίονται αἷς οἶνον νέον τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν καὶ μεθυ- σθήσονται, καὶ αἰσθανθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ὅτι ἐγὼ ὃ ῥυσάμενός σε καὶ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος ἰσχύος Ἰακώβ.

Ἀκούσατέ μου, νῆσοι, καὶ προσέχετε, ἔθνη· διὰ χρόνου πολλοῦ στήσεται, λέγει Κύριος. ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομά μου,

καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ στόμα μου ὡς μάχαιραν ὀξεῖαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔκρυψέν με· ἔθηκέν με ὡς βέλος ἐκλεκτόν, καὶ ἐν τῇ φαρέτρᾳ αὐτοῦ ἔκρυψέν με,

καὶ εἶπέν μοι Δοῦλός μου. εἶ σύ, Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐν σοὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι.

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Κενῶς ἐκοπίασα, εἰς μάταιον καὶ εἰς οὐδὲν ἔδωκα τὴν ἰσχύν μου· διὰ τοῦτο ἡ κρίσις μου παρὰ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ὁ πόνος μου ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ μου.

καὶ νῦν οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὁ πλάσας με ἐκ κοιλίας δοῦλον ἑαυτῷ τοῦ συναγαγεῖν τὸν Ἰακὼβ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ Ἰσραήλ Συναχθήσομαι καὶ δοξασθήσομαι ἐναντίον Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἔσται μοι ἰσχύς.

καὶ εἶπέν μοι Μέγα σοί ἐστιν τοῦ κληθῆναί σε παῖδά μου, τοῦ στῆσαι τὰς φυλὰς Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὴν διασπορὰν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψαι· ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους, εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε θεὸς Ἰσραήλ Ἁγιάσατε τὸν φαυλίζοντα τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, τὸν βδελυσσόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν δούλων τῶν ἀρχόντων· ¹² βασιλεῖς ὄψονται αὐτόν, καὶ ἀναστήσονται ἄρχοντες καὶ ³ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ ἕνεκεν Κυρίου· ὅτι πιστός ἐστιν ὁ ἅγιος Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐξελεξάμην σε.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι, καὶ ἔπλασά σε καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην ἐθνῶν, τοῦ καταστῆσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ κληρονομῆσαι κληρονομίας ἐρήμους,

λέγοντα τοῖς ἐν δεσμοῖς Ἐξέλθατε, καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῷ σκότει ἀνακαλυφθῆναι. ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν τρίβοις ἡ νομὴ αὐτῶν·

οὐ πεινάσουσιν οὐδὲ διψάσουσιν, οὐδὲ πατάξει αὐτοὺς καύσων οὐδὲ ὁ ἥλιος, ἀλλʼ ὁ ἐλεῶν αὐτοὺς παρακαλέσει, καὶ διὰ πηγῶν ὑδάτων ἄξει αὐτούς·

καὶ θήσω πᾶν ὄρος εἰς ὁδὸν καὶ πᾶσαν τρίβον εἰς βόσκημα αὐτοῖς.

ἰδοὺ οὗτοι πόρρωθεν ἥξουσιν, οὗτοι ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ θαλάσσης ἄλλοι δὲ ἐκ γῆς Περσῶν. ¹³εὐφραίνεσθε, οὐρανοί, καὶ ἀγαλλιάσθω ἡ γῆ, ῥηξάτωσαν τὰ ὄρη εὐφρρσύνην, ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ παρεκάλεσεν.

Εἶπ εν δὲ Σειών Ἐγκατέλειπέν με Κύριος· καὶ ὅτι Κύριος ἐπελάθετό μου.

μὴ ἐπιλήσεται γυνὴ τοῦ παιδίου αὐτῆς, ἢ τοῦ μὴ ἐλεθῆσαι τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας αὐτῆς ; εἰ δὲ καὶ ταῦτα ἐπιλάθοιτο γυνή, ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἐπιλήσομαι σοῦ, εἶπεν Κύριος.

ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐζωγράφηκά σου τὰ τείχη, καὶ ἐνώπιόν μου εἶ διὰ παντός,

καὶ ταχὺ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ ὑφʼ ὧν καθῃρέθης, καὶ οἱ ἐρημώσαντές ⁴⁶ σε ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσονται.

ἆρον κύκλῳ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἴδε πάντας, ἰδοὺ συνήχθησαν καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς σέ· ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι πάντας αὐτοὺς ὡς κόσμον ἐνδύσῃ, καὶ περιθήσεις αὐτοὺς ὡς κόσμον, ὡς νύμφη.

ὅτι τὰ ἔρημά σου καὶ τὰ κατεφθαρμένα καὶ τὰ πεπτωκότα, νῦν στενοχωρήσει ἀπὸ τῶν κατοικούντων, καὶ μακρυνθήσονται ἀπὸ σοῦ οἱ καταπίνοντές σε.

ἐροῦσιν γὰρ εἰς τὰ ὧτά σου οἱ υἱοί σου οὓς ἀπολώλεκας Στενός μοι ὁ τόπος, ποίησόν μοι τόπον ἵνα κατοικήσω.

καὶ ἐρεῖς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου Τίς ἐγέννησέν μοι τούτους; ἐγὼ δὲ ἄτεκνος καὶ χήρα, τούτους δὲ τίς ἐξέθρεψέν μοι ; ἐγὼ δὲ κατελείφθην μόνη, οὗτοι δέ μοι ποῦ ἦσαν;

Οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ αἴρω εἰς τὸ ἔθνη τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ εἰς τὰς νήσους ἀρῶ σύσσημόν μου, καὶ ἄξουσιν τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν κόλπῳ, τὰς δὲ θυγατέρας σου ἐπʼ ὤμων ἀροῦσιν,

καὶ ἔσονται βασιλεῖς τιθηνοί σου, αἱ δὲ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῶν τροφοί σου· ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς προσκυνήσουσίν σοι, καὶ τὸν χοῦν τῶν ποδῶν σου λίξουσιν· καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσονται οἱ ὑπομένοντές με.

μὴ λήμψεταί τις παρὰ γίγαντος σκῦλα ; καὶ ἐὰν αἰχμαλωτεύσῃ τις ἀδίκως, σωθήσεται;

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος Ἐάν τις αἰχμαλωτεύσῃ γίγαντα, λήμψεται σκῦλα· λαμβάνων δὲ παρὰ ἰσχύοντος σωθήσεται· ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν κρίσιν σου κρινῶ, καὶ ἐγὼ τοὺς υἱούς σου ῥύσομαι·

καὶ φάγονται οἱ θλίψαντές σε τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν, καὶ πίονται ὡς οἶνον νέον τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν καὶ μεθυσθήσονται, καὶ αἰσθανθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ῥυσάμενός ⁷⁸ σε καὶ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος ἰσχύος Ἰακώβ.

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 49 focus

Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

and he said to me, You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my recompense with my God.

Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength);

yes, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.

Thus says Yahweh, In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:

saying to those who are bound, Go forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them.

I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

Behold, these shall come from far; and, behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

But Zion said, Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.

Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you.

Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says Yahweh, you shall surely clothe you with them all as with an ornament, and gird yourself with them, like a bride.

For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now shall you be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.

Then shall you say in your heart, Who has conceived these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?

Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

But thus says Yahweh, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
