Parallel
Isaiah 47
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
κατάβηθι κάθισον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν παρθένος θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά
“Go down and sit in the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O Daughter of the Chaldeans (note: That is, the Babylonians; also in verse 5)! For you will no longer be called tender or delicate.
λαβὲ μύλον ἄλεσον ἄλευρον ἀποκάλυψαι τὸ κατακάλυμμά σου ἀνακάλυψαι τὰς πολιάς ἀνάσυραι τὰς κνήμας διάβηθι ποταμούς
Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil; strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, and wade through the streams.
ἀνακαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου φανήσονται οἱ ὀνειδισμοί σου τὸ δίκαιον ἐκ σοῦ λήμψομαι οὐκέτι μὴ παραδῶ ἀνθρώποις
Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε κύριος σαβαωθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἅγιος Ισραηλ
Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—is the Holy One of Israel.
κάθισον κατανενυγμένη εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ σκότος θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων οὐκέτι μὴ κληθῇς ἰσχὺς βασιλείας
“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
παρωξύνθην ἐπὶ τῷ λαῷ μου ἐμίανας τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἐγὼ ἔδωκα εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου σὺ δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς ἔλεος τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἐβάρυνας τὸν ζυγὸν σφόδρα
I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
καὶ εἶπας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσομαι ἄρχουσα οὐκ ἐνόησας ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐμνήσθης τὰ ἔσχατα
You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
νῦν δὲ ἄκουσον ταῦτα ἡ τρυφερὰ ἡ καθημένη πεποιθυῖα ἡ λέγουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα οὐ καθιῶ χήρα οὐδὲ γνώσομαι ὀρφανείαν
So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’
νῦν δὲ ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ τὰ δύο ταῦτα ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ χηρεία καὶ ἀτεκνία ἥξει ἐξαίφνης ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι τῶν ἐπαοιδῶν σου σφόδρα
These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
τῇ ἐλπίδι τῆς πονηρίας σου σὺ γὰρ εἶπας ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα γνῶθι ὅτι ἡ σύνεσις τούτων καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου ἔσται σοι αἰσχύνη καὶ εἶπας τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα
You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray; you told yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς βόθυνος καὶ ἐμπεσῇ εἰς αὐτόν καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ταλαιπωρία καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ καθαρὰ γενέσθαι καὶ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ ἐξαπίνης ἀπώλεια καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς
But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.
στῆθι νῦν ἐν ταῖς ἐπαοιδαῖς σου καὶ τῇ πολλῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἃ ἐμάνθανες ἐκ νεότητός σου εἰ δυνήσῃ ὠφεληθῆναι
So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
κεκοπίακας ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς σου στήτωσαν καὶ σωσάτωσάν σε οἱ ἀστρολόγοι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οἱ ὁρῶντες τοὺς ἀστέρας ἀναγγειλάτωσάν σοι τί μέλλει ἐπὶ σὲ ἔρχεσθαι
You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you—your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.
ἰδοὺ πάντες ὡς φρύγανα ἐπὶ πυρὶ κατακαήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωνται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἐκ φλογός ὅτι ἔχεις ἄνθρακας πυρός κάθισαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς
Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.
οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοι βοήθεια ἐκοπίασας ἐν τῇ μεταβολῇ σου ἐκ νεότητος ἄνθρωπος καθ᾿ ἑαυτὸν ἐπλανήθη σοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔσται σωτηρία
This is what they are to you—those with whom you have labored and traded from youth—each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
