Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και θέλει εξέλθει ράβδος εκ του κορμού του Ιεσσαί, και κλάδος θέλει αναβή εκ των ριζών αυτού·
1 A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
2 και το πνεύμα του Κυρίου θέλει αναπαυθή επ' αυτόν, πνεύμα σοφίας και συνέσεως, πνεύμα βουλής και δυνάμεως, πνεύμα γνώσεως και φόβου του Κυρίου·
2 Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
3 και θέλει κάμει αυτόν οξύνουν εις τον φόβον του Κυρίου, ώστε δεν θέλει κρίνει κατά την θεωρίαν των οφθαλμών αυτού ουδέ θέλει ελέγχει κατά την ακρόασιν των ωτίων αυτού·
3 His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
4 αλλ' εν δικαιοσύνη θέλει κρίνει τους πτωχούς, και εν ευθύτητι θέλει υπερασπίζεσθαι τους ταπεινούς της γής· και θέλει πατάξει την γην εν τη ράβδω του στόματος αυτού, και διά της πνοής των χειλέων αυτού θέλει θανατόνει τον ασεβή.
4 but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
5 Και δικαιοσύνη θέλει είσθαι η ζώνη της οσφύος αυτού και πίστις η ζώνη των πλευρών αυτού.
5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
6 Και ο λύκος θέλει συγκατοικεί μετά του αρνίου, και λεοπάρδαλις θέλει αναπαύεσθαι μετά του εριφίου· και ο μόσχος και ο σκύμνος και τα σιτευτά ομού, και μικρόν παιδίον θέλει οδηγεί αυτά.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.
7 Και η δάμαλις και η άρκτος θέλουσι συμβόσκεσθαι, τα τέκνα αυτών θέλουσιν αναπαύεσθαι ομού, και ο λέων θέλει τρώγει άχυρον καθώς ο βους.
7 The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Και το θηλάζον παιδίον θέλει παίζει εις την τρύπαν της ασπίδος, και το απογεγαλακτισμένον παιδίον θέλει βάλλει την χείρα αυτού εις την φωλεάν του βασιλίσκου.
8 The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9 Δεν θέλουσι κακοποιεί ουδέ φθείρει εν όλω τω αγίω μου όρει· διότι η γη θέλει είσθαι πλήρης της γνώσεως του Κυρίου, καθώς τα ύδατα σκεπάζουσι την θάλασσαν.
9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
10 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα προς την ρίζαν του Ιεσσαί, ήτις θέλει ίστασθαι σημαία των λαών, προς αυτόν θέλουσι προστρέξει τα έθνη, και η ανάπαυσις αυτού θέλει είσθαι δόξα.
10 It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.
11 Και εν εκείνη τη ημέρα ο Κύριος θέλει βάλει την χείρα αυτού πάλιν δευτέραν φοράν διά να αναλάβη το υπόλοιπον του λαού αυτού, το οποίον θέλει μείνει, από της Ασσυρίας και από της Αιγύπτου και από του Παθρώς και από της Αιθιοπίας και από του Ελάμ και από του Σενναάρ και από του Αιμάθ και από των νήσων της θαλάσσης.
11 It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Και θέλει υψώσει σημαίαν εις τα έθνη, και θέλει συνάξει τους απερριμμένους του Ισραήλ και συναθροίσει τους διεσκορπισμένους του Ιούδα από των τεσσάρων γωνιών της γης.
12 He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 Και ο φθόνος του Εφραΐμ θέλει αφαιρεθή, και οι εχθρευόμενοι του Ιούδα θέλουσιν αποκοπή· ο Εφραΐμ δεν θέλει φθονεί τον Ιούδαν και ο Ιούδας δεν θέλει θλίβει τον Εφραΐμ.
13 The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute Ephraim.
14 Αλλά θέλουσιν ορμήσει επί τα όρια των Φιλισταίων προς την δύσιν· θέλουσι λεηλατήσει και τους υιούς της ανατολής πάντας ομού· θέλουσι βάλει την χείρα αυτών επί τον Εδώμ και Μωάβ· και οι υιοί Αμμών θέλουσιν υποταχθή εις αυτούς.
14 They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.
15 Και ο Κύριος θέλει καταξηράνει την γλώσσαν της Αιγυπτιακής θαλάσσης· και διά του βιαίου αυτού ανέμου θέλει σείσει την χείρα αυτού επί τον ποταμόν, και θέλει πατάξει αυτόν εις επτά ρεύματα, και θέλει κάμει να διαβαίνωσι με υποδήματα.
15 Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
16 Και θέλει είσθαι οδός πλατεία εις το υπόλοιπον του λαού αυτού, το οποίον θέλει μείνει, από της Ασσυρίας· ως ήτο εις τον Ισραήλ, καθ' ην ημέραν ανέβη εκ γης Αιγύπτου.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And Isaiah, another prophet, foretelling the same things in other words, spoke thus: "A star shall rise out of Jacob, and a flower shall spring from the root of Jesse; and His arm shall the nations trust." And a star of light has arisen, and a flower has sprung from the root of Jesse--this Christ.
… the dew, which is the Spirit of God, who descended upon the Lord, should be diffused throughout all the earth, "the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and piety, the spirit of the fear of God." This Spirit, again, He did confer upon the Church, sending throughout all the world the …
And so the Holy Spirit, of whom the Lord says, "He will teach you all truth," is signified by this number. In it is the rest of God, the rest His people find in Him.

… as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is dumb." And before this testimony also he saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise again to rule the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles trust." Then speaking of His passion, and of the ensuing glory, he added, "And His rest …

Receive thou therefore Him that was born of David, believing the prophecy which saith, And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles: in Him shall the Gentiles trust.
