Isaiah 22
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The burden concerning the Valley of Vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops,
1Τί ἐγένετό σοι, ὅτι νῦν ἀνέβητε πάντες εἰς δώματα μάταια;
2Thou that art full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town? Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
2Ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ πόλις βοώντων, οἱ τραυματίαι σου οὐ τραυματίαι ἐν μαχαίραις, οὐδὲ οἱ νεκροί σου νεκροὶ πολέμων.
3All thy rulers are fled together, without the bow they are bound; all that are found of thee are bound together, they are fled afar off.
3Πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντές σου πεφεύγασι, καὶ οἱ ἁλόντες σκληρῶς δεδεμένοι εἰσί, καὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἐν σοὶ πόῤῥω πεφεύγασι.
4Therefore said I: 'Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; strain not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.'
4Διὰ τοῦτο εἶπα, ἄφετέ με, πικρῶς κλαύσομαι· μὴ κατισχύσητε παρακαλεῖν με ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ γένους μου,
5For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; Kir shouting, and Shoa at the mount.
5ὅτι ἡμέρα ταραχῆς καὶ ἀπωλείας καὶ καταπατήματος, καὶ πλάνησις παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαώθ· ἐν φάραγγι Σιὼν πλανῶνται, ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου πλανῶνται ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη.
6And Elam bore the quiver, with troops of men, even horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
6Οἱ δὲ Ἐλαμεῖται ἔλαβον φαρέτρας, καὶ ἀναβάται ἄνθρωποι ἐφʼ ἵππους, καὶ συναγωγὴ παρατάξεως.
7And it came to pass, when thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate,
7Καὶ ἔσονται αἱ ἐκλεκταὶ φάραγγές σου, πλησθήσονται ἁρμάτων, οἱ δὲ ἱππεῖς ἐμφράξουσι τὰς πύλας σου,
8And the covering of Judah was laid bare, that thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
8καὶ ἀνακαλύψουσι τὰς πύλας Ἰούδα· καὶ ἐμβλέψονται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς οἴκους τῆς πόλεως·
9And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
9Καὶ ἀνακαλύψουσι τὰ κρυπτὰ τῶν οἴκων τῆς ἄκρας Δαυείδ· καὶ εἴδοσαν, ὅτι πλείους εἰσί, καὶ ὅτι ἀπέστρεψε τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς ἀρχαίας κολυμβήθρας εἰς τὴν πόλιν,
10And ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses to fortify the wall;
10καὶ ὅτι καθείλοσαν τοὺς οἴκους Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς ὀχυρώματα τείχους τῇ πόλει.
11ye made also a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool — but ye looked not unto Him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago.
11Καὶ ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς ὕδωρ ἀναμέσον τῶν δύο τειχῶν ἐσώτερον τῆς κολυμβήθρας τῆς ἀρχαίας, καὶ οὐκ ἐνεβλέψατε εἰς τὸν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ποιήσαντα αὐτὴν, καὶ τὸν κτίσαντα αὐτὴν οὐκ εἴδετε.
12And in that day did the Lord, the GOD of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
12Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Κύριος Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ κλαυθμὸν καὶ κοπετὸν, καὶ ξύρησιν καὶ ζῶσιν σάκκων,
13And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine — 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!'
13αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐποιήσαντο εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα, σφάζοντες μόσχους, καὶ θύοντες πρόβατα, ὥστε φαγεῖν κρέατα, καὶ πιεῖν οἶνον, λέγονες, φάγωμεν καὶ πίωμεν, αὔριον γὰρ ἀποθνήσκομεν.
14And the LORD of hosts revealed Himself in mine ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be expiated by you till ye die, saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
14Καὶ ἀνακεκαλυμμένα ταῦτά ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ, ὅτι οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται ὑμῖν αὕτη ἡ ἁμαρτία, ἕως ἂν ἀποθάνητε.
15Thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: Go, get thee unto this steward, even unto Shebna, who is over the house:
15Τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαὼθ, πορεύου εἰς τὸ παστοφόριον, πρὸς Σομνᾶν τὸν ταμίαν, καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ,
16What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre, thou that hewest thee out a sepulchre on high, and gravest a habitation for thyself in the rock?
16τί σὺ ὧδε καὶ τί σοί ἐστιν ὧδε; ὅτι ἐλατόμησας σεαυτῷ ὧδε μνημεῖον, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ἐν ὑψηλῷ μνημεῖον, καὶ ἔγραψας σεαυτῷ ἐν πέτρᾳ σκηνήν;
17Behold, the LORD will hurl thee up and down with a man's throw; yea, He will wind thee round and round;
17Ἰδοὺ δὴ Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐκβάλλει καὶ ἐκτρίψει ἄνδρα, καὶ ἀφελεῖ τὴν στολήν σου καὶ τὸν στέφανόν σου τὸν ἔνδοξον,
18He will violently roll and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of the lord's house.
18καὶ ῥίψει σε εἰς χώραν μεγάλην καὶ ἀμέτρητον, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανῇ· καὶ θήσει τὸ ἅρμα σου τὸ καλὸν εἰς ἀτιμίαν, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἄρχοντός σου εἰς καταπάτημα.
19And I will thrust thee from thy post, and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down.
19Καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσῃ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας σου καὶ ἐκ τῆς στάσεώς σου.
20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
20Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ καλέσω τὸν παῖδά μου Ἐλιακεὶμ τὸν τοῦ Χελκίου,
21And I will clothe him with thy robe, and bind him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
21καὶ ἐνδύσω αὐτὸν τὴν στολήν σου, καὶ τὸν στέφανόν σου δώσω αὐτῷ κατὰ κράτος, καὶ τὴν οἰκονομίαν σου δώσω εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔσται ὡς πατὴρ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσιν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ.
22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
22Καὶ δώσω τὴν δόξαν Δαυεὶδ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἄρξει, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀντιλέγων· καὶ δώσω αὐψῷ τὴν κλεῖδα οἴκου Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τῷ ὢμῳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνοίξει, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀποκλείων· καὶ κλείσει, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀνοίγων.
23And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of honour to his father's house.
23Καὶ στήλω αὐτὸν ἄρχοντα ἐν τόπῳ πιστῷ, καὶ ἔσται εἰς θρόνον δόξης τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
24And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.
24Καὶ ἔσται πεποιθὼς ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πᾶς ἔνδοξος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ ἔσονται ἐπικρεμάμενοι αὐτῷ
25In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the peg that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
25τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαὼθ, κινηθήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐστηριγμένος ἐν τόπῳ πιστῷ, καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται, καὶ πεσεῖται, καὶ ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ δόξα ἡ ἐπʼ αὐτόν, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν. ΤΟ ῬΗΜΑ ΤΥΡΟΥ.
