Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
1Ἔπεσε Βὴλ, συνετρίβη Ναβὼ, ἐγένετο τὰ γλυπτὰ αὐτῶν εἰς θηρία, καὶ τὰ κτήνη· αἴρετε αὐτὰ καταδεδεμένα ὡς φορτίον κοπιῶντι ἐκλευμένῳ,
2They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
2καὶ πεινῶντι, οὐκ ἰσχύοντι, ἅμα, οἳ οὐ δυνήσονται σωθῆναι ἀπὸ πολέμου, αὐτοὶ δὲ αἰχμάλωτοι ἤχθησαν.
3Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
3Ἀκούετέ μου οἶκος τοῦ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ πᾶν τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οἱ αἰρόμενοι ἐκ κοιλίας, καὶ παιδευόμενοι ἐκ παιδίου ἕως γήρως·
4Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
4ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἕως ἂν καταγηράσητε, ἐγώ εἰμι, ἐγὼ ἀνέχομαι ὑμῶν, ἐγὼ ἐποίησα, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνήσω, ἐγὼ ἀναλήμψομαι, καὶ σώσω ὑμᾶς.
5To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
5Τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε; ἴδετε, τεχνάσασθε, οἱ πλανώμενοι.
6You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
6Οἱ συμβαλλόμενοι χρυσίον ἐκ μαρσυππίου, καὶ ἀργύριον ἐν ζυγῷ, στήσουσιν ἐν σταθμῷ, καὶ μισθωσάμενοι χρυσοχόον ἐποίησαν χειροποίητα, καὶ κύψαντες προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτοῖς.
7They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
7Αἴρουσιν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὤμου, καὶ πορεύονται· ἐὰν δὲ θῶσιν αὐτό ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, μένει, οὐ μὴ κινηθῇ· καὶ ὃς ἐὰν βοήσῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν, οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ, ἀπὸ κακῶν οὐ μὴ σώσῃ αὐτόν.
8Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.
8Μνήσθητε ταῦτα, καὶ στενάξατε, μετανοήσατε οἱ πεπλανημένοι, ἐπιστρέψατε τῇ καρδίᾳ,
9Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
9καὶ μνήσθητε τὰ πρότερα ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι πλὴν ἐμοῦ,
10Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
10ἀναγγέλλων πρότερον τὰ ἔσχατα πρὶν γενέσθαι, καὶ ἅμα συνετελέσθη· καὶ εἶπα, πᾶσα ἡ βουλή μου στήσεται, καὶ πάντα ὅσα βεβούλευμαι, ποιήσω·
11Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it. Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
11Καλῶν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν πετεινὸν, καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς πόῤῥωθεν περὶ ὧν βεβούλευμαι, ἐλάλησα, καὶ ἤγαγον, ἔκτισα καὶ ἐποίησα, ἤγαγον αὐτὸν, καὶ εὐώδωσα τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.
12I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
12Ἀκούσατέ μου οἱ ἀπολωλεκότες τὴν καρδίαν, οἱ μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης.

13Ἤγγισα τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν παρʼ ἐμοῦ οὐ βραδυνῶ· δέδωκα ἐν Σιὼν σωτηρίαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς δόξασμα.
