1 Ελθετε και ας επιστρεψωμεν προς τον Κυριον· διοτι αυτος διεσπαραξε, και θελει μας ιατρευσει· επαταξε, και θελει περιδεσει την πληγην ημων.

2 Θελει αναζωοποησει ημας μετα δυο ημερας· εν τη τριτη ημερα θελει μας αναστησει, και θελομεν ζη ενωπιον αυτου.

3 Τοτε θελομεν γνωρισει και θελομεν εξακολουθει να γνωριζωμεν τον Κυριον· η εξοδος αυτου ειναι προδιατεταγμενη ως η αυγη· και θελει ελθει προς ημας ως υετος, ως βροχη οψιμος και πρωιμος επι την γην.

4 Τι να καμω εις σε, Εφραιμ; τι να καμω εις σε, Ιουδα; διοτι η καλωσυνη σας ειναι ως νεφελη πρωινη και ως δροσος εωθινη ητις παρερχεται.

5 Δια τουτο κατεκοψα αυτους δια των προφητων· εφονευσα αυτους δια των λογων του στοματος μου· και αι κρισεις σου θελουσιν εξελθει ως φως.

6 Διοτι ελεος θελω και ουχι θυσιαν· και επιγνωσιν Θεου μαλλον παρα ολοκαυτωματα.

7 Αυτοι ομως ως ο Αδαμ παρεβησαν την διαθηκην· εν τουτω εφερθησαν απιστως προς εμε.

8 Η Γαλααδ ειναι πολις εργαζομενων ανομιαν, ενεδρευουσα αιμα.

9 Και ως στιφη ληστων παραμονευοντα ανθρωπον, ουτως ο συλλογος των ιερεων φονευουσιν εν τη οδω μεχρι Συχεμ· διοτι επραξαν αισχρα.

10 Εν τω οικω Ισραηλ ειδον φρικην· εκει ειναι η πορνεια του Εφραιμ· ο Ισραηλ εμιανθη.

11 Και δια σε, Ιουδα, διωρισθη θερισμος, οταν εγω επιστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου μου.

Isaiah 1:10-19

10 Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.

14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.

17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."

18 "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
