| 1 | The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda. | Visio Isaiae, filii Amos, quam vidit super Iudam et Ierusalem, in diebus Oziae, Ioathan, Achaz, et Ezechiae, regum Iuda. | ὍΡΑΣΙΣ ἣν εἶδεν Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς, ἣν εἶδε κατὰ τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ κατὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἐν βασιλείᾳ Ὀζίου, καὶ Ἰωάθαμ, καὶ Ἄχαζ, καὶ Ἐζεκίου οἳ ἐβασίλευσαν τῆς Ἰουδαίας. |
| 2 | Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me. | Audite, caeli, et auribus percipe, terra, quoniam Dominus locutus est. Filios enutrivi, et exaltavi; ipsi autem spreverunt me. | Ἄκουε οὐρανὲ, καὶ ἐνωτίζου γῆ, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν, υἱοὺς ἐγέννησα καὶ ὕψωσα, αὐτοὶ δέ με ἠθέτησαν. |
| 3 | The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood. | Cognovit bos possessorem suum, et asinus praesepe domini sui; Israël autem me non cognovit, et populus meus non intellexit. | Ἔγνω βοῦς τὸν κτησάμενον, καὶ ὄνος τὴν φάτνην τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ· Ἰσραὴλ δέ με οὐκ ἔγνω, καὶ ὁ λαός με οὐ συνῆκεν. |
| 4 | Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards. | Vae genti peccatrici, populo gravi iniquitate, semini nequam, filiis sceleratis! dereliquerunt Dominum; blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israël; abalienati sunt retrorsum. | Οὐαὶ ἔθνος ἁμαρτωλὸν, λαὸς πλήρης ἁμαρτιῶν, σπέρμα πονηρὸν, υἱοὶ ἄνομοι· ἐγκατελίπατε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ παρωργίσατε τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 5 | For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad. | Super quo percutiam vos ultra, addentes praevaricationem? omne caput languidum, et omne cor moerens. | Τί ἔτι πληγῆτε προστιθέντες ἀνομίαν; πᾶσα κεφαλὴ εἰς πόνον, καὶ πᾶσα καρδία εἰς λύπην· |
| 6 | From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil. | A planta pedis usque ad verticem, non est in eo sanitas; vulnus, et livor, et plaga tumens, non est circumligata, nec curata medicamine, neque fota oleo. | Ἀπὸ ποδῶν ἕως κεφαλῆς, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ ὁλοκληρία, οὔτε τραῦμα, οὔτε μώλωψ, οὔτε πληγὴ φλεγμαίνουσα· οὐκ ἔστι μάλαγμα ἐπιθεῖναι, οὔτε ἔλαιον, οὔτε καταδέσμους. |
| 7 | Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies. | Terra vestra deserta; civitates vestrae succensae igni: regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant, et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili. | Ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν ἔρημος, αἱ πόλεις ὑμῶν πυρίκαυστοι· τὴν χώραν ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἀλλότριοι κατεσθίουσιν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἠρήμωται κατεστραμμένη ὑπὸ λαῶν ἀλλοτρίων. |
| 8 | And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste. | Et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea, et sicut tugurium in cucumerario, et sicut civitas quae vastatur. | Ἐγκαταλειφθήσεται ἡ θυγάτηρ Σιὼν, ὡς σκηνὴ, ἐν ἀμπελῶνι, καὶ ὡς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἐν σικυηράτῳ, ὡς πόλις πολιορκουμένη. |
| 9 | Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha. | Nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen, quasi Sodoma fuissemus, et quasi Gomorrha similes essemus. | Καὶ εἰ μὴ Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐγκατέλιπεν ἡμῖν σπέρμα, ὡς Σόδομα ἂν ἐγενήθημεν, καὶ ὡς Γόμοῤῥα ἂν ὁμοίωθημεν. |
| 10 | Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha. | Audite verbum Domini, principes Sodomorum; percipite auribus legem Dei nostri, populus Gomorrhae. | Ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου, ἄρχοντες Σοδόμων· προσέχετε νόμον Θεοῦ, λαὸς Γομόῤῥας. |
| 11 | To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats. | Quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum? dicit Dominus. Plenus sum: holocausta arietum, et adipem pinguium, et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum, nolui. | Τί μοι πλῆθος τῶν θυσιῶν ὑμῶν; λέγει Κύριος· πλήρης εἰμὶ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων κριῶν, καὶ στέαρ ἀρνῶν καὶ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων οὐ βούλομαι, |
| 12 | When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts? | Cum veniretis ante conspectum meum, quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris, ut ambularetis in atriis meis? | οὐδʼ ἂν ἔρχησθε ὀφθῆναί μοι· τίς γὰρ ἐξεζήτησε ταῦτα ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν; πατεῖν τὴν αὐλήν μου οὐ προσθήσεθε. |
| 13 | Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked. | Ne offeratis ultra sacrificium frustra: incensum abominatio est mihi. Neomeniam et sabbatum, et festivitates alias, non feram; iniqui sunt coetus vestri. | Ἐὰν φέρητε σεμίδαλιν, μάταιον θυμίαμα, βδέλυγμά μοι ἐστι· τὰς νουμηνίας ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ σάββατα, καὶ ἡμέραν μεγάλην οὐκ ἀνέχομαι· νηστείαν, καὶ ἀργίαν, |
| 14 | My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them. | Calendas vestras, et solemnitates vestras odivit anima mea: facta sunt mihi molesta; laboravi sustinens. | καὶ τὰς νουμηνίας ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰς ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν μισεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου· ἐγενήθητέ μοι εἰς πλησμονὴν, οὐκέτι ἀνήσω τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν. |
| 15 | And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood. | Et cum extenderitis manus vestras, avertam oculos meos a vobis, et cum multiplicaveritis orationem, non exaudiam: manus enim vestrae sanguine plenae sunt. | Ὅταν ἐκτείνητε τὰς χεῖρας, ἀποστρέψω τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀφʼ ὑμῶν· καὶ ἐὰν πληθύνητε τὴν δέησιν, οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν· αἱ γὰρ χεῖρες ὑμῶν αἵματος πλήρεις. |
| 16 | Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely, | Lavamini, mundi estote; auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis: quiescite agere perverse, | Λούσασθε, καθαροὶ γένεσθε, ἀφέλετε τὰς πονηρίας ἀπὸ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν, ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου· παύσασθε ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν, |
| 17 | Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow. | discite benefacere; quaerite iudicium, subvenite oppresso, iudicate pupillo, defendite viduam. | μάθετε καλὸν ποιεῖν, ἐκζητήσατε κρίσιν, ῥύσασθε ἀδικούμενον, κρίνατε ὀρφανῷ, καὶ δικαιώσατε χήραν. |
| 18 | And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool. | Et venite, et arguite me, dicit Dominus. Si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum, quasi nix dealbabuntur; et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus, velut lana alba erunt. | Καὶ δεῦτε, διελεγχθῶμεν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἐὰν ὦσιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ὡς φοινικοῦν, ὡς χιόνα λευκανῶ· ἐὰν δὲ ὦσιν ὡς κόκκινον, ὡς ἔριον λευκανῶ. |
| 19 | If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land. | Si volueritis, et audieritis me, bona terrae comeditis. | Καὶ ἐὰν θέλητε, καὶ εἰσακούσητέ μου, τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς φάγεσθε. |
| 20 | But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. | Quod si nolueritis, et me ad iracundiam provocaveritis, gladius devorabit vos, quia os Domini locutum est. | Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλητε, μηδὲ εἰσακούσητέ μου, μάχαιρα ὑμᾶς κατέδεται· τὸ γὰρ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε ταῦτα. |
| 21 | How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers. | Quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis, plena iudicii? iustitia habitavit in ea, nunc autem homicidae. | Πῶς ἐγένετο πόρνη πόλις πιστὴ Σιὼν πλήρης κρίσεως; ἐν ᾗ δικαιοσύνη ἐκοιμήθη ἐν αὐτῇ, νῦν δὲ φονευταί. |
| 22 | Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water. | Argentum tuum versum est in scoriam; vinum tuum mistum est aqua. | Τὸ ἀργύριον ὑμῶν ἀδόκιμον· οἱ κάπηλοί σου μίσγουσι τὸν οἶνον ὕδατι. |
| 23 | Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow’s cometh not in to them. | Principes tui infideles, socii furum. Omnes diligunt munera, sequuntur retributiones. Pupillo non iudicant, et causa viduae non ingreditur ad illos. | Οἱ ἄρχοντές σου ἀπειθοῦσι, κοινωνοὶ κλεπτῶν, ἀγαπῶντες δῶρα, διώκοντες ἀνταπόδομα, ὀρφανοῖς οὐ κρίνοντες, καὶ κρίσιν χηρῶν οὐ προσέχοντες. |
| 24 | Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies. | Propter hoc ait Dominus, Deus exercituum, Fortis Israël: Heu! consolabor super hostibus meis, et vindicabor de inimicis meis. | Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ δεσπότης σαβαὼθ, οὐαὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες Ἰσραήλ· οὐ παύσεται γάρ μου ὁ θυμὸς ἐν τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις, καὶ κρίσιν ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ποιήσω. |
| 25 | And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin. | Et convertam manum meam ad te, et excoquam ad puram scoriam tuam, et auferam omne stannum tuum. | Καὶ ἐπάξω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ πυρώσω εἰς καθαρόν, τοὺς δὲ ἀπειθοῦντας ἀπολέσω, καὶ ἀφελῶ πάντας ἀνόμους ἀπὸ σοῦ· |
| 26 | And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city. | Et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius, et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus; post haec vocaberis civitas iusti, urbs fidelis. | Καὶ ἐπιστήσω τοὺς κριτάς σου ὡς τὸ πρότερον, καὶ τοὺς συμβούλους σου ὡς τὸ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα κληθήσῃ πόλις δικαιοσύνης, μητρόπολις πιστὴ Σιών· |
| 27 | Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice. | Sion in iudicio redimetur, et reducent eam in iustitia. | μετὰ γὰρ κρίματος σωθήσεται ἡ αἰχμαλωσία αὐτῆς, καὶ μετὰ ἐλεημοσύνης. |
| 28 | And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed. | Et conteret scelestos, et peccatores simul; et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur. | Καὶ συντριβήσονται οἱ ἄνομοι καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἅμα, καὶ οἱ ἐγκαταλιπόντες τὸν Κύριον συντελεσθήσονται. |
| 29 | For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen. | Confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt, et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis, | Διότι αἰσχυνθήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν εἰδώλων αὐτῶν ἃ αὐτοὶ ἠβούλοντο, καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν ἐπὶ τοῖς κήποις, ἃ ἐπεθύμησαν. |
| 30 | When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water. | cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis, et velut hortus absque aqua. | Ἔσονται γὰρ ὡς τερέβινθος ἀποβεβληκυῖα τὰ φύλλα, καὶ ὡς παράδεισος ὕδωρ μὴ ἔχων. |
| 31 | And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it. | Et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae, et opus vestrum quasi scintilla, et succendetur utrumque simul, et non erit qui extinguat. | Καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῶν ὡς καλάμη στιππύου, καὶ αἱ ἐργασίαι αὐτῶν ὡς σπινθῆρες, καὶ κατακαυθήσονται οἱ ἄνομοι καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἅμα, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων. |
