Chapter 5
| Προσευχὴ Ἠσαίου. |
Prayer of Isaiah (Isa 26:9-20) |
| 9 Ἐκ νυκτὸς ὀρθρίζει τὸ πνεῦμά μου πρὸς σέ, ὁ θεός, διότι φῶς τὰ προστάγματά σου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· δικαιοσύνην μάθετε, οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. | 9 that our soul desires. From the night my spirit arises early toward you, Oh God, because your ordinances are a light on the land. Learn righteousness, you who dwell on the land. |
| 10 πέπαυται γὰρ ὁ ἀσεβής· οὐ μὴ μάθῃ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀλήθειαν οὐ μὴ ποιήσει· ἀρθήτω ὁ ἀσεβής, ἵνα μὴ ἴδῃ τὴν δόξαν κυρίου. | 10 for the ungodly one has stopped; everyone who won't learn righteousness on the land; he won't perform truth. Let the ungodly one be taken away in order that he may not see the glory of the Lord. |
| 11 κύριε, ὑψηλός σου ὁ βραχίων, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν, γνόντες δὲ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν· ζῆλος λήμψεται λαὸν ἀπαίδευτον, καὶ νῦν πῦρ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἔδεται. | 11 Oh Lord, your arm is lifted up, and they haven't known it, but after they know, they will be ashamed. Jealousy will take hold of an uneducated people, and fire will now consume the adversaries. |
| 12 κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, εἰρήνην δὸς ἡμῖν· πάντα γὰρ ἀπέδωκας ἡμῖν. | 12 Oh Lord, our God, give us peace, for you granted all things for us. |
| 13 κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, κτῆσαι ἡμᾶς κύριε, ἐκτὸς σοῦ ἄλλον οὐκ οἴδαμεν, τὸ ὄνομά σου ὀνομάζομεν. | 13 Oh Lord, our God, redeem us; Oh Lord, we know no other except you; we name your name. |
| 14 οἱ δὲ νεκροὶ ζωὴν οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν, οὐδὲ ἰατροὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστήσουσιν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπήγαγες καὶ ἀπώλεσας καὶ ἦρας πᾶν ἄρσεν αὐτῶν. | 14 But the dead won't see life, nor will physicians raise them up; because of this you have brought them and destroyed them and taken away all their males. |
| 15 πρόσθες αὐτοῖς κακά, κύριε, πρόσθες κακὰ τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τῆς γῆς. | 15 Increase evils on them, Oh Lord; increase evils on the glorious ones of the land. |
| 16 κύριε, ἐν θλίψει ἐμνήσθην σου, ἐν θλίψει μικρᾷ ἡ παιδεία σου ἡμῖν. | 16 Oh Lord, in affliction I remembered you; with light affliction your discipline was on us. |
| 17 καὶ ὡς ἡ ὠδίνουσα ἐγγίζει τοῦ τεκεῖν καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ ὠδῖνι αὐτῆς ἐκέκραξεν, οὕτως ἐγενήθημεν τῷ ἀγαπητῷ σου. | 17 And as a woman in labour is about to give birth and cries out in her pangs, so were we to your beloved because of the fear of you, Oh Lord. |
| 18 διὰ τὸν φόβον σου, κύριε, ἐν γαστρὶ ἐλάβομεν καὶ ὠδινήσαμεν καὶ ἐτέκομεν· πνεῦμα σωτηρίας σου ἐποιήσαμεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· οὐ πεσούμεθα, ἀλλὰ πεσοῦνται οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. | 18 We conceived and laboured and gave birth; we produced the spirit of your salvation on the land, we will not fall but those who dwell on the land will fall. |
| 19 ἀναστήσονται οἱ νεκροί, καὶ ἐγερθήσονται οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις, καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται οἱ ἐν τῇ γῇ· ἡ γὰρ δρόσος ἡ παρὰ σοῦ ἴαμα αὐτοῖς ἐστιν, ἡ δὲ γῆ τῶν ἀσεβῶν πεσεῖται. | 19 The dead shall rise, and those who are in the tombs shall be raised, and those who are in the land shall rejoice; for the dew from you is healing for them, but the land of the ungodly shall fall. |
| 20 βάδιζε, λαός μου, εἴσελθε εἰς τὰ ταμίειά σου, ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν σου, ἀποκρύβηθι μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ἕως ἄν παρέλθῃ ἡ ὀργὴ κυρίου. | 20 Go, my people, enter your bedrooms; lock your door; hide yourselves for just a little while until the wrath of the Lord has passed. |
