Greek text · Archambault 2:36–38

Οὕτως γὰρ Ἡσαΐας περὶ τῆς χιλιονταετηρίδος ταύτης εἶπεν· Ἔσται γὰρ ὁ οὐρανὸς καινὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ καινή, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῶσι τῶν προτέρων οὐδὲ μὴ ἐπέλθῃ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλʼ εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα εὑρήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ, ὅσα ἐγὼ κτίζω· ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ποιῶ τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀγαλλίαμα καὶ τὸν λαόν μου εὐφροσύνην, καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ εὐφρανθήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ λαῷ μου. Καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ φωνὴ κλαυθμοῦ οὐδὲ φωνὴ κραυγῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ γένηται ἔτι ἐκεῖ ἄωρος ἡμέραις καὶ πρεσβύτης ὃς οὐκ ἐμπλήσει τὸν χρόνον αὐτοῦ· ἔσται γὰρ ὁ νέος υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ὁ δὲ ἀποθνήσκων ἁμαρτωλὸς υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπικατάρατος ἔσται.

English · Claude translation

“For Isaiah spoke thus about this period of a thousand years: ‘For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth, and they shall not remember the former things, nor shall they come into their heart; but they shall find in her gladness and exultation, the things which I create; for behold, I make Jerusalem an exultation and my people a gladness; and I will exult over Jerusalem and be glad over my people. And the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying; and there shall no longer be there one untimely in days, or an old man who does not fill up his time; for the young man shall be a hundred years old, and the sinner who dies shall be a hundred years old and accursed.
