| 21 μνήσθητι ταῦτα Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ ὅτι παῖς μου εἶ σύ ἔπλασά σε παῖδά μου καὶ σύ Ισραηλ μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου μου 22 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπήλειψα ὡς νεφέλην τὰς ἀνομίας σου καὶ ὡς γνόφον τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐπιστράφητι πρός με καὶ λυτρώσομαί σε 23 εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοί ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ισραηλ σαλπίσατε θεμέλια τῆς γῆς βοήσατε ὄρη εὐφροσύνην οἱ βουνοὶ καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐλυτρώσατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ δοξασθήσεται 24 οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ λυτρούμενός σε καὶ ὁ πλάσσων σε ἐκ κοιλίας ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ συντελῶν πάντα ἐξέτεινα τὸν οὐρανὸν μόνος καὶ ἐστερέωσα τὴν γῆν τίς ἕτερος 25 διασκεδάσει σημεῖα ἐγγαστριμύθων καὶ μαντείας ἀπὸ καρδίας ἀποστρέφων φρονίμους εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν μωρεύων 26 καὶ ἱστῶν ῥήματα παιδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ ἀληθεύων ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ κατοικηθήσῃ καὶ ταῖς πόλεσιν τῆς Ιουδαίας οἰκοδομηθήσεσθε καὶ τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς ἀνατελεῖ 27 ὁ λέγων τῇ ἀβύσσῳ ἐρημωθήσῃ καὶ τοὺς ποταμούς σου ξηρανῶ 28 ὁ λέγων Κύρῳ φρονεῖν καὶ πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου ποιήσει ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἅγιόν μου θεμελιώσω |
21 Remember it, Jacob, remember it, my servant Israel; it was I, Israel, that made thee; thou art my servant, and wilt thou forget me? 22 The cloud of thy guilt, the haze of thy sinfulness, I have swept away; come back to me, thy ransomer. 23 The Lord has been merciful; you heavens, sing your praises; depths of the earth, rejoice; echo the song of praise, mountain and forest and every forest tree; the Lord has ransomed Jacob, Israel shall make his boast in him. 24 Thus says the Lord, thy ransomer, he who fashioned thee in the womb: I am the Lord, the author of all things; alone I spread out heaven’s canopy, looked for no help when I laid the floor of the earth. 25 Mine to disappoint the soothsayers of their prophecies, and bewilder the diviner’s wits, send the wise men back to school, their wisdom all exposed as folly, 26 vindicate my own servant, and justify the counsel my own messengers have given. It is my voice that bids Jerusalem grow populous, and the cities of Juda rise again, while I restore their ruins; 27 my voice that bids the deep turn into a desert, and threatens to dry up all its floods; 28 my voice that says to Cyrus, I give thee a shepherd’s part to play; it is for thee to carry out my whole purpose. And to Jerusalem it says, Thou shalt be built up; and to the Temple, Thou shalt be founded again. |

Memento horum Jacob,
et Israël, quoniam servus meus es tu.
Formavi te; servus meus es tu,
Israël, ne obliviscaris mei. 22
Delevi ut nubem iniquitates tuas,
et quasi nebulam peccata tua:
revertere ad me, quoniam redemi te. 23
Laudate, cæli, quoniam misericordiam fecit Dominus;
jubilate, extrema terræ;
resonate, montes, laudationem,
saltus et omne lignum ejus,
quoniam redemit Dominus Jacob,
et Israël gloriabitur. 24
Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor tuus,
et formator tuus ex utero:
Ego sum Dominus, faciens omnia,
extendens cælos solus,
stabiliens terram, et nullus mecum; 25
irrita faciens signa divinorum,
et ariolos in furorem vertens;
convertens sapientes retrorsum,
et scientiam eorum stultam faciens; 26
suscitans verbum servi sui,
et consilium nuntiorum suorum complens;
qui dico Jerusalem: Habitaberis,
et civitatibus Juda: Ædificabimini,
et deserta ejus suscitabo; 27
qui dico profundo: Desolare,
et flumina tua arefaciam; 28
qui dico Cyro: Pastor meus es,
et omnem voluntatem meam complebis;
qui dico Jerusalem: Ædificaberis,
et templo: Fundaberis. |
