Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Διότι ο Κύριος θέλει ελεήσει τον Ιακώβ, και θέλει έτι εκλέξει τον Ισραήλ και καταστήσει αυτούς εν τη γη αυτών· και οι ξένοι θέλουσιν ενωθή μετ' αυτών και θέλουσι προσκολληθή εις τον οίκον του Ιακώβ.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Και οι λαοί θέλουσι λάβει αυτούς και φέρει αυτούς εις τον τόπον αυτών· και ο οίκος του Ισραήλ θέλει κληρονομήσει αυτούς εν τη γη του Κυρίου διά δούλους και δούλας· και θέλουσιν είσθαι αιχμάλωτοι αυτών οι αιχμαλωτίσαντες αυτούς, και θέλουσι γείνει κύριοι των καταθλιβόντων αυτούς.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Και καθ' ην ημέραν ο Κύριος θέλει σε αναπαύσει από της θλίψεώς σου και από του φόβου σου και από της σκληράς δουλείας, εις την οποίαν ήσο καταδεδουλωμένος,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
θέλεις μεταχειρισθή την παροιμίαν ταύτην κατά του βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος, λέγων, Πως επαύθη ο καταδυνάστης· πως επαύθη η φορολόγος του χρυσίου.
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Ο Κύριος συνέτριψε την ράβδον των ασεβών, το σκήπτρον των δυναστών.
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
Ο πατάσσων εν θυμώ τον λαόν με ακατάπαυστον κτύπημα, ο δεσπόζων εν οργή επί τα έθνη, καταδιώκεται, και ουδείς ο κωλύων.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Πάσα η γη αναπαύεται, ησυχάζει· εκφωνούσιν άσματα αγαλλιάσεως.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Χαίρουσιν επί σε και αι έλατοι, αι κέδροι του Λιβάνου, λέγουσαι, Αφού συ εκοιμήθης, δενδροτόμος δεν ανέβη εφ' ημάς.
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Ο άδης κάτωθεν εκινήθη διά σε, διά να απαντήση την έλευσίν σου· διά σε εξήγειρε τους νεκρούς, πάντας τους ηγεμόνας της γής· εσήκωσεν εκ των θρόνων αυτών πάντας τους βασιλείς των εθνών. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Πάντες ούτοι θέλουσιν αποκριθή και ειπεί προς σε, Και συ έγεινες αδύνατος, καθώς ημείς; κατεστάθης όμοιος ημών;
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Η μεγαλαυχία σου κατηνέχθη εις τον τάφον και ο θόρυβος των μουσικών σου οργάνων· ο σκώληξ είναι εστρωμένος υποκάτω σου και οι σκώληκες σε σκεπάζουσι· (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
πως έπεσες εκ του ουρανού, Εωσφόρε, υιέ της αυγής· συνετρίφθης κατά γης, συ ο καταπατών τα έθνη.
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Συ δε έλεγες εν τη καρδία σου, Θέλω αναβή εις τον ουρανόν, θέλω υψώσει τον θρόνον μου υπεράνω των άστρων του Θεού· και θέλω καθήσει επί το όρος της συνάξεως, προς τα μέρη του βορρά·
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
θέλω αναβή επί τα ύψη των νεφελών· θέλω είσθαι όμοιος του Υψίστου.
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Εις τον άδην όμως θέλεις καταβή, εις τα βάθη του λάκκου. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Οι βλέποντές σε θέλουσιν ενατενίσει προς σε, θέλουσι σε παρατηρεί, λέγοντες, ούτος είναι ο άνθρωπος ο ποιών την γην να τρέμη, ο σείων τα βασίλεια;
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
Ο ερημόνων την οικουμένην και καταστρέφων τας πόλεις αυτής; ο μη απολύων εις τας οικίας αυτών τους δεσμίους αυτού;
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Πάντες οι βασιλείς των εθνών, πάντες αναπαύονται εν δόξη, έκαστος εν τη οικία αυτού·
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
συ δε απερρίφθης του τάφου σου ως κλάδος βδελυκτός, ιμάτιον κεκεντημένων, πεφονευμένων εν μαχαίρα, καταβαινόντων εις τας πέτρας του λάκκου· ως πτώμα καταπατούμενον.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Δεν θέλεις ενωθή μετ' αυτών εις ενταφιασμόν, διότι ηφάνισας την γην σου, εφόνευσας τον λαόν σου· το σπέρμα των κακοποιών ουδέποτε θέλει ονομασθή.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Ετοιμάσατε σφαγήν εις τα τέκνα αυτού διά την ανομίαν των πατέρων αυτών, διά να μη σηκωθώσι και κληρονομήσωσι την γην, και γεμίσωσι το πρόσωπον της οικουμένης από πόλεων.
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Διότι θέλω σηκωθή εναντίον αυτών, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· και θέλω εξαλείψει από της Βαβυλώνος το όνομα και το υπόλοιπον και υιόν και έκγονον, λέγει Κύριος.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Και θέλω καταστήσει αυτήν κληρονομίαν εχίνων και λίμνας υδάτων· και θέλω σαρώσει αυτήν με το σάρωθρον της απωλείας, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Ώμοσεν ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, λέγων, Εξάπαντος καθώς εβουλεύθην, ούτω θέλει γείνει· και καθώς απεφάσισα, ούτω θέλει μείνει,
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
να συντρίψω τον Ασσύριον εν τη γη μου και να καταπατήσω αυτόν επί των ορέων μου· τότε ο ζυγός αυτού θέλει σηκωθή απ' αυτών και το φορτίον αυτού θέλει αφαιρεθή από των ώμων αυτών.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Αύτη είναι η βουλή η βεβουλευμένη καθ' όλης της γής· και αύτη η χειρ η εξηπλωμένη επί πάντα τα έθνη.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Διότι ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων απεφάσισε και τις θέλει αναιρέσει; και η χειρ αυτού εξηπλώθη και τις θέλει αποστρέψει αυτήν;
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Εν τω έτει, καθ' ο απέθανεν ο βασιλεύς Άχαζ, έγεινεν αύτη η όρασις.
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Μη χαίρε, Παλαιστίνη πάσα, διότι συνετρίφθη η ράβδος του πατάξαντός σε· επειδή εκ της ρίζης του όφεως θέλει εξέλθει βασιλίσκος, και ο καρπός αυτού θέλει είσθαι φλογερός πετώμενος όφις.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Και οι πρωτότοκοι του πτωχού θέλουσι τραφή και οι ενδεείς θέλουσιν αναπαύεσθαι εν ασφαλεία· και θέλω θανατώσει την ρίζαν σου με πείναν, και θέλω φονεύσει το υπόλοιπόν σου.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Ολόλυζε, πύλη· βόα, πόλις· εχάθης, Παλαιστίνη πάσα· διότι έρχεται καπνός από βορρά, και ουδέ εις θέλει λείψει από της εκστρατεύσεως αυτού εν τοις ωρισμένοις καιροίς.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Και τις απόκρισις θέλει δοθή εις τους πρέσβεις των εθνών; Ότι ο Κύριος εθεμελίωσε την Σιών, και επ' αυτήν θέλουσιν ελπίζει οι πτωχοί του λαού αυτού.
