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 Ο λόγος, ο γενόμενος δι' οράματος εις τον Ησαΐαν τον υιόν του Αμώς, περί του Ιούδα και της Ιερουσαλήμ.
1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Εν ταις εσχάταις ημέραις το όρος του οίκου του Κυρίου θέλει στηριχθή επί της κορυφής των ορέων και υψωθή υπεράνω των βουνών και πάντα τα έθνη θέλουσι συρρέει εις αυτό,
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3 και πολλοί λαοί θέλουσιν υπάγει και ειπεί, Έλθετε και ας αναβώμεν εις το όρος του Κυρίου, εις τον οίκον του Θεού του Ιακώβ και θέλει διδάξει ημάς τας οδούς αυτού, και θέλομεν περιπατήσει εν ταις τρίβοις αυτού. Διότι εκ Σιών θέλει εξέλθει νόμος και λόγος Κυρίου εξ Ιερουσαλήμ.
3 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.
4 Και θέλει κρίνει αναμέσον των εθνών και θέλει ελέγξει πολλούς λαούς και θέλουσι σφυρηλατήσει τας μαχαίρας αυτών διά υνία και τας λόγχας αυτών διά δρέπανα δεν θέλει σηκώσει μάχαιραν έθνος εναντίον έθνους, ουδέ θέλουσι μάθει πλέον τον πόλεμον.
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Οίκος Ιακώβ, έλθετε και ας περιπατήσωμεν εν τω φωτί του Κυρίου.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of Yahweh.
6 Βεβαίως συ εγκατέλιπες τον λαόν σου, τον οίκον Ιακώβ, διότι ενεπλήσθησαν της ανατολής και έγειναν μάντεις ως οι Φιλισταίοι, και συνηνώθησαν μετά των τέκνων των αλλοφύλων.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Και η γη αυτών ενεπλήσθη αργυρίου και χρυσίου, και δεν είναι τέλος των θησαυρών αυτών ενεπλήσθη η γη αυτών και ίππων, και δεν είναι τέλος των αμαξών αυτών.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 Και η γη αυτών ενεπλήσθη από ειδώλων ελάτρευσαν το ποίημα των χειρών αυτών, εκείνο το οποίον οι δάκτυλοι αυτών έκαμον
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 και ο κοινός άνθρωπος υπέκυψε και ο μεγάλος εταπεινώθη και δεν θέλεις συγχωρήσει αυτούς.
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
10 Είσελθε εις τον βράχον και κρύφθητι εις το χώμα, διά τον φόβον του Κυρίου και διά την δόξαν της μεγαλειότητος αυτού.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Οι υπερήφανοι οφθαλμοί του ανθρώπου θέλουσι ταπεινωθή, και η έπαρσις των ανθρώπων θέλει υποκύψει· μόνος δε ο Κύριος θέλει υψωθή εν εκείνη τη ημέρα.
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Διότι ημέρα Κυρίου των δυνάμεων θέλει επέλθει επί πάντα αλαζόνα και υπερήφανον και επί πάντα υψωμένον και θέλει ταπεινωθή
12 For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
13 και επί πάσας τας κέδρους του Λιβάνου τας υψηλάς και επηρμένας και επί πάσας τας δρυς της Βασάν,
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14 και επί πάντα τα υψηλά όρη και επί πάντα τα υψωμένα βουνά,
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15 και επί πάντα πύργον υψηλόν και επί παν τείχος περιπεφραγμένον,
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16 και επί πάντα τα πλοία της Θαρσείς και επί πάντα τα ηδονικά θεάματα.
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17 Και το ύψος του ανθρώπου θέλει υποκύψει, και η έπαρσις των ανθρώπων θέλει ταπεινωθή· μόνος δε ο Κύριος θέλει υψωθή εν εκείνη τη ημέρα.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Και τα είδωλα θέλουσιν ολοκλήρως καταστραφή.
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
19 Και αυτοί θέλουσιν εισέλθει εις τα σπήλαια των βράχων και εις τας τρύπας της γης, διά τον φόβον του Κυρίου και διά την δόξαν της μεγαλειότητος αυτού, όταν εγερθή διά να κλονίση την γην.
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα θέλει ρίψει ο άνθρωπος εις τους ασπάλακας και εις τας νυκτερίδας τα αργυρά αυτού είδωλα και τα χρυσά αυτού είδωλα, τα οποία έκαμεν εις εαυτόν διά να προσκυνή·
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21 διά να εισέλθωσιν εις τας σχισμάς των βράχων και εις τα σπήλαια των πετρών, διά τον φόβον του Κυρίου και διά την δόξαν της μεγαλειότητος αυτού, όταν εγερθή διά να κλονίση την γην.
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 Παραιτήθητε από ανθρώπου, του οποίου η πνοή είναι εις τους μυκτήρας αυτού διότι εις τι είναι άξιος λόγου;
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

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).
… let him draw near to the servant of God;" and, "Woe unto you, for ye shall wax old as doth a garment, and the moth shall eat you up;" and, "All flesh shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in the highest," --it is thus indicated that, after His passion and ascension, God shall cast down under …
… the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." This way, therefore, is not the property of one, but of all nations.
