Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἶ διώκοντες τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον, ἐμβλέψατε εἷς τὴν στερεὰν πέτραν ἥν ἐλατομήσατε, καὶ εἷς
τὸν βόθυνον τοῦ λάκκου ὃν ὠρύξατε.

ἐμβλέψατε εἷς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ εἷς Σάρραν τὴν ὠδίνουσαν ὑμᾶς· ὅτι εἷς ἦν καὶ ἐκάλεσα αὐτόν, καὶ ηὐλόγησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἠγάπησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπλήθυνα
αὐτόν.

καὶ σὲ νῦν παρακαλέσω, Σιών, καὶ παρεκάλεσα πάντα τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς, <καὶ θήσω τὸ. ἔρημα αὐτῆς ὡς παράδεισον, καὶ πρὸς δυσμὰς) ὥς παράδεισον Κυρίου· εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα
εὑρήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ φωνὴν αἰνέσεως.

Ἀκούσατέ μου, ἀκούσατε, λαός μου, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς πρὸς μὲ ἐνωτίσασθε, ὅτι νόμος παρ’ ἐμοῦ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ ἦ κρίσις μου εἷς φῶς ἐθνῶν.

ἐγγίζει ταχὺ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται τὸ σωτήριόν μου, καὶ εἷς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν· ἐμὲ νῆσοι ὑπομενοῦσιν,
καὶ εἷς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἐλπιοῦσιν.

ἅρατε εἷς τὸν οὐρανὸν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐμβλέψατε εἷς τὴν γῆν κάτω, ὅτι ὃ οὐρανὸς ὥς καπνὸς ἐστερεώθη, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὥς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσεται, οἶ δὲ ¹ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὥσπερ ταῦτα ἀποθανοῦνται, τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν
μου εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται, ἡ δὲ δικαιοσύνη μου οὗ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ.

Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ εἰδότες κρίσιν, λαός μου οὗ ὁ νόμος μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὀνειδισμὸν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ τῷ φαυλισμῷ αὐτῶν
μὴ ἡττᾶσθε.

ὥσπερ γὰρ ἱμάτιον βρωθήσεται ὑπὸ χρόνου, καὶ ὥσπερ ἔρια βρωθήσεται ὑπὸ σητός, ἦ δὲ δικαιοσύνη μου εἶς τὸν
αἰῶνα ἔσται, τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν μου εἷς γενεὰς γενεῶν.

Ἑξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔνδυσαι τὴν ἰσχὺν τοῦ βραχίονός σου·
ἐξεγείρου ὡς ἐν ἀρχῇ ἡμέρας, αἷς γενεὰ αἰῶνος. οὗ σὺ εἴ

ἡ ἐρημοῦσα θάλασσαν, ὕδωρ ἀβύσσου πλῆθος ; ἦ θεῖσα τὰ βάθη τῆς
θαλάσσης ὁδὸν διαβάσεως ῥυομένοις

καὶ λελυτρωμένοις; ὑπὸ γὰρ Κυρίου ἀποστραφήσονται, καὶ ἥξουσιν εἷς Σιὼν μετ’ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἀγαλλιάματος αἰωνίου· ἐπὶ γὰρ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν ἀγαλ- λίαμα καὶ αἴνεσις, καὶ εὐφροσύνη καταλήμψεται αὐτούς, ἀπέδρα
ὀδύνη καὶ λύπη καὶ στεναγμός.

ἐγώ εἶμι ἐγώ εἶμι ὃ παρακαλῶν σε· γνῶθι τίνα εὐλαβηθεῖσα ἐφοβήθης ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου θνητοῦ καὶ
ἀπὸ υἱοῦ ἀνθρώπου, οἳ ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἐξηράνθησαν.

καὶ ἐπελάθου θεὸν τὸν ποιήσαντά σε, τὸν ποιήσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ θεμελιώ- σαντα τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐφόβου ἀεὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυμοῦ θλίβοντός σε, ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ἐβουλεύσατο τοῦ ἀραί σε·
καὶ νῦν ποῦ ὃ θυμὸς τοῦ θλίβοντός σε ;

ἐν γὰρ τῷ σώζεσθαί σε
οὔ στήσεται οὐδὲ χρονιεῖ·

ὅτι ἐγὼ ὃ θεός σου ὃ ταράσσων τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἠχῶν τὸ. κύματα αὐτῆς, Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομά μοι.

θήσω τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν δεξιάν μου σκεπάσω σε, ἐν ᾗ ἔστησα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐθεμελίωσα τὴν γῆν·
καὶ ἐρεῖ Σιών Λαός μου εἴ σύ.

Ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ πιοῦσα τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου· τὸ ² ποτήριον γὰρ τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ, ἔπιες καὶ ἐξεκένωσας,

καὶ οὒκ ἦν ὁ παρακαλῶν σε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τέκνων σου ὦν ἔτεκες, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὃ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος τῆς χειρός σου οὑδὲ
ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν σου ὧν ὗψωσας.

δύο ταῦτα ἀντικείμενά σοι· τίς σοι συλλυπηθήσεται; πτῶμα καὶ σύντριμμα, λιμὸς καὶ
μάχαιρα· τίς σε παρακαλέσει;

οἱ υἱοί σοι οἱ ἀπορούμενοι, οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπ’ ἄκρου πάσης ἐξόδου ὡς σευτλίον ἡμίεφθον, οἱ
πλήρεις θυμοῦ Κυρίου, ἐκλελυμένα διὰ Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ.

διὰ
τοῦτο ἄκουε, τεταπεινωμένη καὶ μεθύουσα οὐκ ἀπὸ οἴνου.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὃ θεὸς ὅ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ εἴληφα ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου τὸ ποτήριον τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ, καὶ οὕ
προσθήσῃ ἔτι πιεῖν αὐτό·

καὶ ἐμβαλῶ αὐτὸ εἷς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀδικησάντων σε καὶ τῶν ταπεινωσάντων σε, οἳ εἶπαν τῇ ψυχῇ σου Κύψον, ἴνα παρέλθωμεν· καὶ ἔθηκας ἴσα τῇ γῇ τὸ. μετάφρενά σου ἔξω τοῖς παραπορευομένας.

ʼΑκούσατέ μου, οἱ διώκοντες τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον, ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὴν στερεὰν πέτραν ἣν ἐλατομήσατε, καὶ εἰς τὸν βόθυνον τοῦ λάκκου ὃν ὠρύξατε.

ἐμβλέψατε εἰς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ εἰς Σάρραν τὴν ὠδίνουσαν ὑμᾶς ὅτι εἷς ἦν καὶ ἐκάλεσα αὐτόν, καὶ εὐλόγησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἠγάπησα αὐτόν.

καὶ σέ νῦν παρακαλέσω, Σειών, καὶ παρεκάλεσα πάντα τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς, καὶ θήσω τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς ὡς παράδεισον, καὶ τὰ πρὸς δυσμὰς ὡς παράδεισον Κυρίου· εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα εὑρήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ φωνὴν αἰνέσεως.

’Ἀκούσατέ μου, ἀκούσατέ μου, λαός μου, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς πρὸς μὲ ἐνωτίσασθε, ὅτι νόμος παρʼ ἐμοῦ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ ἡ κρίσις μου εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν.

ἐγγίζει ταχὺ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ὡς φῶς καὶ τὸ σωτήριόν μου, καὶ εἰς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν ἐμέ νῆσοι ὑπομενοῦσιν καὶ εἰς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἐλπιοῦσιν.

ἄρατε εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὴν γῆν κάτω, ὅτι ὁ οὐρανὸς ὡς καπνὸς ἐστερεώθη, ἡ δὲ γῆ ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσεται, οἱ δέ κατοικοῦντες ὥσπερ ταῦτα ἀποθανοῦνται, τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται, ἡ δὲ δικαιοσύνη μου οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ.

Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ εἰδότες κρίσιν, λαὸς οὗ ὁ ¹² νόμος μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὀνειδισμὸν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ³ τῷ φαυλισμῷ αὐτῶν μὴ ἡττᾶσθε.

Ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔνδυσαι τὴν ἰσχὺν τοῦ βραχίονός σου· ἐξεγείρου ὡς ἐν ἀρχῇ ἡμέρας, ὡς γενεὰ αἰῶνος. οὐ σὺ εἶ

ἡ ἐρημοῦσα θάλασσαν, ὕδωρ ἀβύσσου πλῆθος ; ἡ θεῖσα τὰ βάθη τῆς θαλάσσης ὁδὸν διαβάσεως ῥυομένοις

ἐγώ εἰμι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ παρακαλῶν σε· γνῶθι τίς οὖσα ἐφοβήθης ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου θνητοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ υἱοῦ ἀνθρώπου, οἳ ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἐξηράνθησαν.

καὶ ἐπελάθου θεὸν τὸν ποιήσαντά σε, τὸν ποιήσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ θεμελιώσαντα τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐφόβου ἀεὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τὸ § πρόσωπον τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ θλίβοντός σε, ὃν ⁴ τρόπον γὰρ ἐβουλεύσατο τοῦ ἆραί σε· καὶ νῦν ποῦ ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ θλίβοντός σε ;

ἐν γὰρ τῷ σώζεσθαί σε οὐ στήσεται οὐδὲ χρονιεῖ

ὅτι ἐγὼ ὁ θεός σου ὁ ταράσσων τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἠχῶν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς, Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομά μοι.

θήσω τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν τῆς χειρός μου σκεπάσω σε, ἐν ᾗ ἔστηκα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐθεμελίωσα τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐρεῖ Σειών Λαός μου εἶ σύ.

Ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου, ἀνάστηθι, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ πιοῦσα ⁵⁷ ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ· τὸ ποτήριον γὰρ τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐξέπιες καὶ ἐξεκένωσας,

καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ παρακαλῶν σε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τέκνων σου ὦν ἔτεκες, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος τῆς χειρός σου οὐδὲ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν σου ὧν ὕψωσας.

δύο ταῦτα ἀντικείμενά σοι· τίς σοι συνλυπηθησεται πτῶμα καὶ σύντριμμα, λιμὸς καὶ μάχαιρα τίς παρακαλέσει σε :

οἱ υἱοί σου οἱ ἀπορούμενοι, οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπʼ ἄκρου πάσης ἐξόδου ὡς σευτλίον ἡμίεφθον, οἱ πλήρεις θυμοῦ Κυρίου, ἐκλελυμένοι διὰ Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ.

διὰ τοῦτο ἄκουε, τεταπεινωμένη καὶ μεθύουσα οὐκ ἀπὸ οἴνου.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ εἴληφα ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου τὸ ποτήριον τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, καὶ οὐ προσθήσῃ ἔτι πιεῖν αὐτό·

καὶ δώσω αὐτὸ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀδικησάντων σε τῶν ταπεινωσάντων σε, οἱ εἶπαν τῇ ψυχῇ σου Κύψον, ἵνα παρέλθωμεν καὶ ἔθηκας ἴσα τῇ γῇ τὰ μέσα σου ἔξω τοῖς παραπορευομένοις.

Translations (1)

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 51 focus

Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock whence you were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence you were dug.

Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.

My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don’t you fear the reproach of men, neither be you dismayed at their insults.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who did cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;

and have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.

For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, so that the waves of it roar: Yahweh of Hosts is his name.

I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, You are my people.

Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.

These two things are befallen you, who shall bemoan you? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort you?

Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.

Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but now with wine:

Thus says your Lord Yahweh, and your God who pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:

and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
