Parallel
Isaiah 51
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἶ διώκοντες τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον, ἐμβλέψατε εἷς τὴν στερεὰν πέτραν ἥν ἐλατομήσατε, καὶ εἷς τὸν βόθυνον τοῦ λάκκου ὃν ὠρύξατε.
“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.
ἐμβλέψατε εἷς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ εἷς Σάρραν τὴν ὠδίνουσαν ὑμᾶς· ὅτι εἷς ἦν καὶ ἐκάλεσα αὐτόν, καὶ ηὐλόγησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἠγάπησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπλήθυνα αὐτόν.
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.
καὶ σὲ νῦν παρακαλέσω, Σιών, καὶ παρεκάλεσα πάντα τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς, < καὶ θήσω τὸ. ἔρημα αὐτῆς ὡς παράδεισον, καὶ πρὸς δυσμὰς) ὥς παράδεισον Κυρίου· εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα εὑρήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ φωνὴν αἰνέσεως.
For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.
Ἀκούσατέ μου, ἀκούσατε, λαός μου, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς πρὸς μὲ ἐνωτίσασθε, ὅτι νόμος παρ’ ἐμοῦ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ ἦ κρίσις μου εἷς φῶς ἐθνῶν.
Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.
ἐγγίζει ταχὺ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται τὸ σωτήριόν μου, καὶ εἷς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν· ἐμὲ νῆσοι ὑπομενοῦσιν, καὶ εἷς τὸν βραχίονά μου ἐλπιοῦσιν.
My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands (note: Or coastlands) will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.
ἅρατε εἷς τὸν οὐρανὸν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐμβλέψατε εἷς τὴν γῆν κάτω, ὅτι ὃ οὐρανὸς ὥς καπνὸς ἐστερεώθη, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὥς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσεται, οἶ δὲ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὥσπερ ταῦτα ἀποθανοῦνται, τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν μου εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται, ἡ δὲ δικαιοσύνη μου οὗ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.
Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ εἰδότες κρίσιν, λαός μου οὗ ὁ νόμος μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὀνειδισμὸν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ τῷ φαυλισμῷ αὐτῶν μὴ ἡττᾶσθε.
Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἱμάτιον βρωθήσεται ὑπὸ χρόνου, καὶ ὥσπερ ἔρια βρωθήσεται ὑπὸ σητός, ἦ δὲ δικαιοσύνη μου εἶς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται, τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν μου εἷς γενεὰς γενεῶν.
For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”
Ἑξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔνδυσαι τὴν ἰσχὺν τοῦ βραχίονός σου· ἐξεγείρου ὡς ἐν ἀρχῇ ἡμέρας, αἷς γενεὰ αἰῶνος. οὗ σὺ εἴ
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?
ἡ ἐρημοῦσα θάλασσαν, ὕδωρ ἀβύσσου πλῆθος ; ἦ θεῖσα τὰ βάθη τῆς θαλάσσης ὁδὸν διαβάσεως ῥυομένοις
Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
καὶ λελυτρωμένοις; ὑπὸ γὰρ Κυρίου ἀποστραφήσονται, καὶ ἥξουσιν εἷς Σιὼν μετ’ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἀγαλλιάματος αἰωνίου· ἐπὶ γὰρ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν ἀγαλλίαμα καὶ αἴνεσις, καὶ εὐφροσύνη καταλήμψεται αὐτούς, ἀπέδρα ὀδύνη καὶ λύπη καὶ στεναγμός.
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
ἐγώ εἶμι ἐγώ εἶμι ὃ παρακαλῶν σε· γνῶθι τίνα εὐλαβηθεῖσα ἐφοβήθης ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου θνητοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ υἱοῦ ἀνθρώπου, οἳ ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἐξηράνθησαν.
“I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?
καὶ ἐπελάθου θεὸν τὸν ποιήσαντά σε, τὸν ποιήσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ θεμελιώσαντα τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐφόβου ἀεὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυμοῦ θλίβοντός σε, ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ἐβουλεύσατο τοῦ ἀραί σε· καὶ νῦν ποῦ ὃ θυμὸς τοῦ θλίβοντός σε ;
But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?
ἐν γὰρ τῷ σώζεσθαί σε οὔ στήσεται οὐδὲ χρονιεῖ·
The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.
ὅτι ἐγὼ ὃ θεός σου ὃ ταράσσων τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἠχῶν τὸ. κύματα αὐτῆς, Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομά μοι.
For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name.
θήσω τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν δεξιάν μου σκεπάσω σε, ἐν ᾗ ἔστησα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐθεμελίωσα τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐρεῖ Σιών Λαός μου εἴ σύ.
I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish (note: Or to plant) the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
Ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ πιοῦσα τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου· τὸ ποτήριον γὰρ τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ, ἔπιες καὶ ἐξεκένωσας,
Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs—the cup that makes men stagger.
καὶ οὒκ ἦν ὁ παρακαλῶν σε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τέκνων σου ὦν ἔτεκες, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὃ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος τῆς χειρός σου οὑδὲ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν σου ὧν ὗψωσας.
Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand.
δύο ταῦτα ἀντικείμενά σοι· τίς σοι συλλυπηθήσεται; πτῶμα καὶ σύντριμμα, λιμὸς καὶ μάχαιρα· τίς σε παρακαλέσει;
These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you (note: DSS, LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate; MT How can I comfort you?)?
οἱ υἱοί σοι οἱ ἀπορούμενοι, οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπ’ ἄκρου πάσης ἐξόδου ὡς σευτλίον ἡμίεφθον, οἱ πλήρεις θυμοῦ Κυρίου, ἐκλελυμένα διὰ Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ.
Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
διὰ τοῦτο ἄκουε, τεταπεινωμένη καὶ μεθύουσα οὐκ ἀπὸ οἴνου.
Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὃ θεὸς ὅ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ εἴληφα ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου τὸ ποτήριον τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ, καὶ οὕ προσθήσῃ ἔτι πιεῖν αὐτό·
Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.
καὶ ἐμβαλῶ αὐτὸ εἷς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀδικησάντων σε καὶ τῶν ταπεινωσάντων σε, οἳ εἶπα ν τῇ ψυχῇ σου Κύψον, ἴνα παρέλθωμεν· καὶ ἔθηκας ἴσα τῇ γῇ τὸ. μετάφρενά σου ἔξω τοῖς παραπορευομένας.
I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
