Greek text · Archambault 1:110

Δεῦτε σὺν ἐμοὶ πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, οἱ θέλοντες τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἰδεῖν. Δεῦτε, πορευθῶμεν τῷ φωτὶ κυρίου· ἀνῆκε γὰρ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, τὸν οἶκον Ἰακώβ. Δεῦτε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, συναχθῶμεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν μηκέτι πολεμουμένην διὰ τὰς ἀνομίας τῶν λαῶν. Ἐμφανὴς γὰρ ἐγενήθην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, εὑρέθην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσι, βοᾷ διὰ Ἡσαίου.

English · Claude translation

“Come with me, all who fear God, who wish to see the good things of Jerusalem. ‘Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord; for he has set free his people, the house of Jacob.’ Come, all nations, let us be gathered to Jerusalem, which is no longer warred against because of the transgressions of the peoples. ‘For I was made manifest to those who did not seek me, I was found by those who did not ask for me,’ he cries through Isaiah.
