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 Τις ούτος, ο ερχόμενος εξ Εδώμ, με ιμάτια ερυθρά εκ Βοσόρρας; ούτος ο ένδοξος εις την στολήν αυτού, ο περιπατών εν τη μεγαλειότητι της δυνάμεως αυτού; Εγώ, ο λαλών εν δικαιοσύνη, ο ισχυρός εις το σώζειν.
1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Διά τι είναι ερυθρά η στολή σου και τα ιμάτιά σου όμοια ανθρώπου πατούντος εν ληνώ;
2 Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3 Επάτησα μόνος τον ληνόν, και ουδείς εκ των λαών ήτο μετ' εμού· και κατεπάτησα αυτούς εν τω θυμώ μου και κατελάκτισα αυτούς εν τη οργή μου· και το αίμα αυτών ερραντίσθη επί τα ιμάτιά μου και εμόλυνα όλην μου την στολήν.
3 “I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
4 Διότι η ημέρα της εκδικήσεως ήτο εν τη καρδία μου, και έφθασεν ο ενιαυτός των λελυτρωμένων μου.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 Και περιέβλεψα και δεν υπήρχεν ο βοηθών· και εθαύμασα ότι δεν υπήρχεν ο υποστηρίζων· όθεν ο βραχίων μου ενήργησε σωτηρίαν εις εμέ· και ο θυμός μου, αυτός με υπεστήριξε.
5 I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.
6 Και κατεπάτησα τους λαούς εν τη οργή μου και εμέθυσα αυτούς εκ του θυμού μου και κατεβίβασα εις την γην το αίμα αυτών.
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”
7 Θέλω αναφέρει τους οικτιρμούς του Κυρίου, τας αινέσεις του Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα ο Κύριος έκαμεν εις ημάς, και την μεγάλην αγαθότητα προς τον οίκον Ισραήλ, την οποίαν έδειξε προς αυτούς κατά τους οικτιρμούς αυτού και κατά το πλήθος του ελέους αυτού.
7 I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8 Διότι είπε, Βεβαίως λαός μου είναι αυτοί, τέκνα τα οποία δεν θέλουσι ψευσθή· και υπήρξεν ο Σωτήρ αυτών.
8 For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely;” so he became their Savior.
9 Κατά πάσας τας θλίψεις αυτών εθλίβετο, και ο άγγελος της παρουσίας αυτού έσωσεν αυτούς· εν τη αγάπη αυτού και εν τη ευσπλαγχνία αυτού αυτός ελύτρωσεν αυτούς· και εσήκωσεν αυτούς και εβάστασεν αυτούς πάσας τας ημέρας του αιώνος.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 Αυτοί όμως ηπείθησαν και ελύπησαν το άγιον πνεύμα αυτού· διά τούτο εστράφη ώστε να γείνη εχθρός αυτών, αυτός επολέμησεν αυτούς.
10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
11 Τότε ενεθυμήθη τας αρχαίας ημέρας, τον Μωϋσήν, τον λαόν αυτού, λέγων, Που είναι ο αναβιβάσας αυτούς από της θαλάσσης μετά του ποιμένος του ποιμνίου αυτού; που ο θέσας το άγιον αυτού πνεύμα εν τω μέσω αυτών;
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”
12 Ο οδηγήσας αυτούς διά της δεξιάς του Μωϋσέως με τον ένδοξον βραχίονα αυτού, ο διασχίσας τα ύδατα έμπροσθεν αυτών, διά να κάμη εις εαυτόν όνομα αιώνιον;
12 Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 Ο οδηγήσας αυτούς διά της αβύσσου, ως ίππον διά της ερήμου, χωρίς να προσκόψωσι;
13 Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?
14 Το πνεύμα του Κυρίου ανέπαυσεν αυτούς ως κτήνος καταβαίνον εις την κοιλάδα· ούτως ώδήγησας τον λαόν σου, διά να κάμης εις σεαυτόν ένδοξον όνομα.
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.
15 Επίβλεψον εξ ουρανού και ιδέ εκ της κατοικίας της αγιότητός σου και της δόξης σου· που ο ζήλος σου και η δύναμίς σου, το πλήθος του ελέους σου και των οικτιρμών σου; απεκλείσθησαν εις εμέ;
15 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
16 Συ βεβαίως είσαι ο Πατήρ ημών, αν και ο Αβραάμ δεν εξεύρη ημάς και ο Ισραήλ δεν γνωρίζη ημάς· συ, Κύριε, είσαι ο Πατήρ ημών· Λυτρωτής ημών είναι το όνομά σου απ' αιώνος.
16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
17 Διά τι Κύριε, αφήκας ημάς να αποπλανώμεθα από των οδών σου και να σκληρύνωμεν την καρδίαν ημών, ώστε να μη σε φοβώμεθα; επίστρεψον ένεκεν των δούλων σου, των φυλών της κληρονομίας σου.
17 O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Ως πράγμα ελάχιστον κατεκυρίευσαν τον άγιόν σου λαόν· οι εναντίοι ημών κατεπάτησαν το αγιαστήριόν σου.
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 Κατεστάθημεν ως εκείνοι, επί τους οποίους δεν εδέσποσας ποτέ ουδέ επεκλήθη το όνομά σου επ' αυτούς.
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.

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).
For when in Esaias God is addressed thus, For Thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Sarah travailed not with us, need we inquire further on this point?
