Isaiah 54

1 ΕΥΦΡΑΝΘΗΤΙ, στεῖρα ἡ οὐ τίκτουσα, ρῆξον καὶ βόησον, ἡ οὐκ ὠδίνουσα, ὅτι πολλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐρήμου μᾶλλον ἢ τῆς ἐχούσης τὸν ἄνδρα· εἶπε γὰρ Κύριος·

1 Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,

2 πλάτυνον τὸν τόπον τῆς σκηνῆς σου καὶ τῶν αὐλαιῶν σου, πῆξον, μὴ φείσῃ· μάκρυνον τὰ σχοινίσματά σου καὶ τοὺς πασσάλους σου κατίσχυσον.

2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;

3 ἔτι εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερὰ ἐκπέτασον, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἔθνη κληρονομήσει, καὶ πόλεις ἠρημωμένας κατοικιεῖς.

3 spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι κατῃσχύνθης, μηδὲ ἐντραπῇς, ὅτι ὠνειδίσθης· ὅτι αἰσχύνην αἰώνιον ἐπιλήσῃ καὶ ὄνειδος τῆς χηρείας σου οὐ μὴ μνησθήσῃ ἔτι.

4 Fear not, because you have been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you were reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.

5 ὅτι Κύριος ὁ ποιῶν σε, Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ· καὶ ὁ ρυσάμενός σε αὐτὸς Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, πάσῃ τῇ γῇ κληθήσεται.

5 For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.

6 οὐχ ὡς γυναῖκα καταλελειμμένην καὶ ὀλιγόψυχον κέκληκέ σε Κύριος, οὐδ᾿ ὡς γυναίκα ἐκ νεότητος μεμισημένην, εἶπεν ὁ Θεός σου·

6 The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.

7 χρόνον μικρὸν κατέλιπόν σε καὶ μετ᾿ ἐλέους μεγάλου ἐλεήσω σε,

7 For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.

8 ἐν θυμῷ μικρῷ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐν ἐλέει αἰωνίῳ ἐλεήσω σε, εἶπεν ὁ ρυσάμενός σε Κύριος.

8 In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.

9 ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ ἐπὶ Νῶε τοῦτό μοί ἐστι· καθότι ὤμοσα αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ ἐκείνῳ τῇ γῇ μὴ θυμωθήσεσθαι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἔτι, μηδὲ ἐν ἀπειλῇ σου

9 From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I swore to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,

10 τὰ ὄρη μεταστήσεσθαι, οὐδ᾿ οἱ βουνοί σου μετακινηθήσονται, οὕτως οὐδὲ τὸ παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ σοὶ ἔλεος ἐκλείψει, οὐδὲ ἡ διαθήκη τῆς εἰρήνης σου οὐ μὴ μεταστῇ· εἶπε γὰρ Κύριος· ἵλεώς σοι.

10 shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].

11 Ταπεινὴ καὶ ἀκατάστατος, οὐ παρεκλήθης, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἑτοιμάζω σοι ἄνθρακα τὸν λίθον σου καὶ τὰ θεμέλιά σου σάπφειρον

11 Afflicted and outcast you have not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;

12 καὶ θήσω τὰς ἐπάλξεις σου ἴασπιν καὶ τὰς πύλας σου λίθους κρυστάλλου καὶ τὸν περίβολόν σου λίθους ἐκλεκτοὺς

12 and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.

13 καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱούς σου διδακτοὺς Θεοῦ καὶ ἐν πολλῇ εἰρήνῃ τὰ τέκνα σου.

13 And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

14 καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ· ἀπέχου ἀπὸ ἀδίκου καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσῃ, καὶ τρόμος οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ σοι.

14 And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.

15 ἰδοὺ προσήλυτοι προσελεύσονταί σοι δι᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ σὲ καταφεύξονται.

15 Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.

16 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔκτισά σε οὐχ ὡς χαλκεὺς φυσῶν ἄνθρακας καὶ ἐκφέρων σκεῦος εἰς ἔργον· ἐγὼ δὲ ἔκτισά σε οὐκ εἰς ἀπώλειαν φθεῖραι

16 Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].

17 πᾶν σκεῦος φθαρτόν, ἐπὶ σὲ οὐκ εὐοδώσω, καὶ πᾶσα φωνὴ ἀναστήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ εἰς κρίσιν· πάντας αὐτοὺς ἡττήσεις, οἱ δὲ ἔνοχοί σου ἔσονται ἐν αὐτῇ. ἔστι κληρονομία τοῖς θεραπεύουσι Κύριον, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι δίκαιοι, λέγει Κύριος.

17 I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgement, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you⌃ shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
