Isaiah 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
1Ἰδοὺ Δαμασκὸς ἀρθήσεται ἀπὸ πόλεων, καὶ ἔσται εἰς πτῶσιν,
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
2καταλελειμμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, εἰς κοίτην ποιμνίων καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διώκων.
3The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
3Καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται ὀχυρὰ τοῦ καταφυγεῖν Ἐφραίμ· καὶ οὐκέτι βασιλεία ἐν Δαμασκῷ, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τῶν Σύρων οὐ γὰρ σὺ βελτίων εἶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαώθ.
4And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
4Ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔκλειψις δόξης Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τὰ πίονα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται.
5And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
5Καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀμητὸν ἑστηκότα, καὶ σπέρμα σταχύων ἀμήσῃ· καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ στάχυν ἐν φάραγγι στερεᾷ.
6Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as at the beating of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the branches of the fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
6Καὶ καταλειφθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ καλάμη, ἢ ὡς ῥῶγες ἐλαίας δύο ἢ τρεῖς ἐπʼ ἄκρου μετεώρου, ἢ τέσσαρες ἢ πέντε ἀπὶ τῶν κλάδων αὐτῶν καταλειφθῇ· τὰδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ.
7In that day shall a man regard his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
7Τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ πεποιθὼς ἔσται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτὸν, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐμβλέψονται,
8And he shall not regard the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he look to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
8καὶ οὐ μὴ πεποιθότες ὦσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς βωμοῖς, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ δάκτυλοι αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται τὰ δένδρα, οὐδὲ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν.
9In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel, after the manner of woods and lofty forests; and it shall be a desolation.
9Τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσονται αἱ πόλεις σου ἐγκαταλελειμμέναι, ὃν τρόπον κατέλιπον οἱ Ἀμοῤῥαῖοι καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν νἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔσονται ἔρημοι,
10For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and thou hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy stronghold; therefore thou didst plant plants of pleasantness, and didst set it with slips of a stranger;
10διότι κατέλιπες τὸν Θεὸν τὸν σωτῆρά σου, καὶ Κυρίου τοῦ βοηθοῦ σου οὐκ ἐμνήσθης· διὰτοῦτο φυτεύσεις φύτευμα ἄπιστον, καὶ σπέρμα ἄπιστον.
11In the day of thy planting thou didst make it to grow, and in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom — a heap of boughs in the day of grief and of desperate pain.
11Τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἂν φυτεύσῃς, πλανηθήσῃ· τὸ δὲ πρωῒ ἐὰν σπείρῃς, ἀνθήσει εἰς ἀμητὸν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ κληρώσῃ, καὶ ὡς πατὴρ ἀνθρώπου κληρώσῃ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου.
12Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
12Οὐαὶ πλῆθος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν· ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα, οὕτω ταραχθήσεσθε· καὶ νῶτος ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, ὡς ὕδωρ ἠχήσει.
13The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but He shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
13Ὡς ὕδωρ πολὺ ἔθνη πολλὰ, ὡς ὕδατος πολλοῦ βίᾳ φερομένου· καὶ ἀποσκορακιεῖ αὐτὸν, καὶ πόῤῥω αὐτὸν διώξεται, ὡς χνοῦν ἀχύρου λικμώντων ἀπέναντι ἀνέμου, καὶ ὡς κονιορτὸν τροχοῦ καταιγὶς φέρουσα,
14At eventide behold terror; and before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
14Πρὸς ἑσπέραν καὶ ἔσται πένθος, πριν ἢ πρωῒ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται· αὕτη ἡ μερὶς τῶν προνομευσάντων ὑμᾶς, καὶ κληρονομία τοῖς ὑμᾶς κληρονομήσασιν.
