Isaiah 64

as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and thy name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at thy presence the nations shall be troubled,

ὡς κηρὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου πυρὸς τήκεται, καὶ κατακαύσει πῦρ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους, καὶ φανερὸν ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐν τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις· ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ἔθνη ταραχθήσονται,

whenever thou shalt work gloriously; trembling from thee shall take hold upon the mountains.

ὅταν ποιῇς τὰ ἔνδοξα· τρόμος λήψεται ἀπὸ σοῦ ὄρη.

From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside thee, and thy works which thou wilt perform to them that wait for mercy.

Ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἶδον Θεὸν πλήν σου, καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου, ἃ ποιήσεις τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν ἔλεον.

For these blessings shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember thy ways: behold, thou wast angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,

Συναντήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ποιοῦσι τὸ δίκαιον, καὶ τῶν ὁδῶν σου μνησθήσονται· ἰδοὺ σὺ ὠργίσθης, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἡμάρτομεν· διατοῦτο ἐπλανήθημεν,

and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us away.

καὶ ἐγενήθημεν ὡς ἀκάθαρτοι πάντες ἡμεῖς, ὡς ῥάκος ἀποκαθημένης πᾶσα ἡ δικαιοσύνη ἡμῶν· καὶ ἐξεῤῥύημεν ὡς φύλλα διὰ τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν· οὕτως ἄνεμος οἴσει ἡμᾶς.

And there is none that calls upon thy name, or that remembers to take hold on thee: for thou hast turned thy face away from us, and hast delivered us up because of our sins.

Καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ὁ μνησθεὶς ἀντιλαβέσθαι σου· ὅτι ἀπέστρεψας τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, καὶ παρέδωκας ἡμᾶς διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν.

And now, O Lord, thou art our Father, and we are clay, all of us the work of thine hands.

Καὶ νῦν Κύριε, πατὴρ ἡμῶν σὺ, ἡμεῖς δὲ πηλός, ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου πάντες.

Be not very wroth with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on us, for we are all thy people.

Μὴ ὀργίζου ἡμῖν σφόδρα, καὶ μὴ ἐν καιρῷ μνησθῇς ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν· καὶ νῦν ἐπίβλεψον, ὅτι λαός σου πάντες ἡμεῖς.

The city of thy holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

Πόλις τοῦ ἁγίου σου ἐγενήθη ἔρημος, Σιὼν ὡς ἔρημος ἐγενήθη, Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς κατάραν.

The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

Ὁ οἶκος τὸ ἅγιον ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡ δόξα ἣν εὐλόγησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἑγενήθη πυρίκαυστος, καὶ πάντα ἔνδοξα ἡμῶν συνέπεσε.

And for all these things thou, O Lord, hast withholden thyself, and been silent, and hast brought us very low.

Καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις ἀνέσχου Κύριε, καὶ ἐσιώπησας, καὶ ἐταπείνωσας ἡμᾶς σφόδρα.
