Parallel
Isaiah 13
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ὅρασις ἦν εἶδεν Ἠσαίας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς κατὰ Βαβυλῶνος.
This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received:
Ἐπ᾿ ὅρους πεδινοῦ ἄρατε σημεῖον, υψώσατε τὴν φωνὴν ἑαυτοῖς, μὴ φοβεῖσθε · παρακαλεῖτε τῇ < χειρί > . ἀνοίξατε, οἱ ἄρχοντες.
Raise a banner on a barren hilltop; call aloud to them. Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
ἐγὼ συντάσσω, καὶ ἐγώ, αὑτούς· ἡγιασμένοι εἰσίν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἄγω αὐτούς· γίγαντες ἔρχονται πληρῶσαι τὸν θυμόν μου χαίροντες ἅμα καὶ ὑβρίζοντες.
I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.
φωνὴ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων, ὁμοία ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, φωνὴ βασιλέων καὶ ἐθνῶν συνηγμένων. Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐντέταλται ἔθνει ὁπλομάχῳ
Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.
ἔρχεσθαι ἐκ γῆς πόρρωθεν ἀπ᾿ ἄκρου θεμελίου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριος καὶ οἱ ὁπλομάχοι αὐτοῦ, τοῦ καταφθεῖραι τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην.
They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the weapons of His wrath—to destroy the whole country.
ὀλολύζετε· ἐγγὺς γὰρ ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου, καὶ συντριβὴ παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἥξει.
Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty (note: Hebrew Shaddai).
διὰ τοῦτο < πᾶσα χεὶρ > ἐκλυθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἀνθρώπου δειλιάσει·
Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
καὶ ταραχθήσονται οἱ πρέσβεις, καὶ ὠδῖνες αὐτοὺς ἕξουσιν ὡς γυναικὸς τικτούσης· καὶ συμφοράσουσιν ἕτερος πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον καὶ ἐκστήσονται, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ὡς φλὸξ μεταβαλοῦσιν.
Terror, pain, and anguish will seize them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another, their faces flushed with fear.
Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου ἀνίατος ἔρχεται θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς, θεῖναι τὴν οἰκουμένην ἔρημον καὶ τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἀπολέσω ἐξ αὐτῆς.
Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—cruel, with fury and burning anger—to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.
οἱ γὰρ ἀστέρες τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὁ Ὠρίων καὶ πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸ φῶς οὐ δώσουσιν, καὶ σκοτισθήσεται τοῦ ἡλίου ἀνατέλλοντος, καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φῶς αὐτῆς.
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
καὶ ἐντελοῦμαι τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ὅλῃ κακά, καὶ τοῖς ἀσεβέσι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀπολῶ ὕβριν ἀνόμων, καὶ ὕβριν ὑπερηφάνων ταπεινώσω.
I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελιμμένοι ἔντιμοι μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ χρυσίον τὸ ἄπυρον, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος μᾶλλον ἔντιμος ἔσται ἢ ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐκ Σουφείρ.
I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
ὁ γὰρ οὐρανὸς θυμωθήσεται, καὶ ἡ γῆ σεισθήσεται ἐκ τῶν θεμελίων αὐτῆς, διὸ, θυμὸν ὀργῆς Κυρίου σαβαώθ, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.
καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελιμμένοι ὡς δορκάδων φεῦγον καὶ ὡς πρόβατον πλανώμενον, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ συνάγων, ὥστε ἄνθρωπον εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀποστραφῆναι, καὶ ἄνθρωπον εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ διῶξαι.
Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἁλῷ ἡττηθήσεται, καὶ ὅσοι συνηγμένοι εἰσὶν μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται.
Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword.
καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ῥάξουσιν, καὶ τὰς οἰκίας αὐτῶν προνομεύσουσιν, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἕξουσιν.
Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.
ἰδοὺ ἐπεγείρω ὑμῖν τοὺς Μήδους, οἳ οὐ λογίζονται ἀργύριον οὐδὲ χρυσίου χρείαν ἔχουσιν.
Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.
τοξεύματα νεανίσκων συντρίψουσιν, καὶ τὸ, τέκνα ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσουσιν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς τέκνοις σου φείσονται οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν.
Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children.
καὶ ἔσται Βαβυλών, ἣ καλεῖται ἔνδοξος ὑπὸ βασιλέως Χαλδαίων, ὃν τρόπον κατέστρεψεν ὁ θεὸς Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα.
And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
οὐ κατοικηθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον, οὐδὲ μὴ εἰσέλθωσιν εἰς αὐτὴν διὰ πολλῶν γενεῶν, οὐδὲ μὴ διέλθωσιν αὐτὴν Ἄραβες, οὐδὲ ποιμένες οὐ μὴ ἀναπαύσεωνται ἐν αὐτῇ.
She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.
καὶ ἀναπαύσονται ἐκεῖ θηρία, καὶ πλησθήσονται οἰκίαι ἤχου· καὶ ἀναπαύσονται ἐκεῖ σειρῆνες, καὶ δαιμόνια ἐκεῖ ὀρχήσονται,
But desert creatures will lie down there, and howling creatures will fill her houses. Ostriches (note: Literally Daughters of an ostrich or Daughters of an owl) will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.
καὶ ὀνοκένταυροι ἐκεῖ κατοικήσουσιν, καὶ νοσσοποιήσουσιν ἐχῖνοι ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις αὐτῶν. ταχὺ ἔρχεται καὶ οὐ χρονιεῖ.
Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals (note: Or serpents or dragons) in her luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
