Isaiah 45
1 Thus says Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him. And I will loose the loins of kings to open the doors before him. And the gates shall not be shut.
Haec dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro, cuius apprehendi dexteram, ut subiiciam ante faciem eius Gentes, et dorsa regum vertam, et aperiam coram eo ianuas, et portae non claudentur.
2 I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth. I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut apart the bars of iron.
Ego ante te ibo: et gloriosos terrae humiliabo: portas aereas conteram, et vectes ferreos confringam.
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
Et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos, et arcana secretorum: ut scias quia ego Dominus, qui voco nomen tuum, Deus Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name. I have surnamed thee, though thou have not known me.
Propter servum meum Iacob, et Israel electum meum, vocavi te nomine tuo: assimilavi te, et non cognovisti me.
5 I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou have not known me,
Ego Dominus, et non est amplius: extra me non est Deus: accinxi te, et non cognovisti me:
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
Ut sciant hi, qui ab ortu solis, et qui ab occidente, quoniam absque me non est Deus: ego Dominus, et non est alter,
7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah who does all these things.
formans lucem, et creans tenebras, faciens pacem, et creans malum: ego Dominus faciens omnia haec.
8 Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together. I, Jehovah, have created it.
Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant iustum: aperiatur terra, et germinet salvatorem: et iustitia oriatur simul: ego Dominus creavi eum.
9 Woe to him who strives with his maker, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What are thou making? or thy work, He has no hands?
Vae qui contradicit fictori suo, testa de samiis terrae: numquid dicet lutum figulo suo: Quid facis, et opus tuum absque manibus est?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, What are thou begetting? or to a woman, With what are thou travailing?
Vae qui dicit patri: Quid generas? et mulieri: Quid parturis?
11 Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel and his maker: Ask me of the things that are to come concerning my sons. And command ye me concerning the work of my hands.
Haec dicit Dominus sanctus Israel plastes eius: Ventura interrogate me, super filios meos, et super opus manuum mearum mandate mihi.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded.
Ego feci terram, et hominem super eam creavi ego: manus meae tetenderunt caelos, et omni militiae eorum mandavi.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, says Jehovah of hosts.
Ego suscitavi eum ad iustitiam, et omnes vias eius dirigam: ipse aedificabit civitatem meam, et captivitatem meam dimittet, non in pretio, neque in muneribus, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
14 Thus says Jehovah: The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine. They shall go after thee. In chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee. They shall make supplication to thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, no God.
Haec dicit Dominus: Labor Aegypti, et negotiatio Aethiopiae, et Sabaim viri sublimes, ad te transibunt, et tui erunt: Post te ambulabunt, vincti manicis pergent: et te adorabunt, teque deprecabuntur: Tantum in te est Deus, et non est absque te Deus.
15 Verily thou are a God who hides thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
Vere tu es Deus absconditus, Deus Israel salvator.
16 They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them. They shall go into confusion together who are makers of idols.
Confusi sunt, et erubuerunt omnes: simul abierunt in confusionem fabricatores errorum.
17 But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.
Israel salvatus est in Domino salute aeterna: non confundemini, et non erubescetis usque in saeculum saeculi.
18 For thus says Jehovah who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
Quia haec dicit Dominus creans caelos, ipse Deus formans terram, et faciens eam, ipse plastes eius: non in vanum creavit eam: ut habitaretur, formavit eam. ego Dominus, et non est alius.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I, Jehovah, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Non in abscondito locutus sum in loco terrae tenebroso: non dixi semini Iacob: Frustra quaerite me. ego Dominus loquens iustitiam, annuncians recta.
20 Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god that cannot save.
Congregamini, et venite, et accedite simul qui salvati estis ex Gentibus: nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturae suae, et rogant Deum non salvantem.
21 Declare ye, and bring it forth. Yea, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is none besides me.
Annunciate, et venite, et consiliamini simul: quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, et tunc praedixit illud? numquid non ego Dominus, et non est ultra deus absque me? Deus iustus, et salvans non est praeter me.
22 Look to me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.
Convertimini ad me, et salvi eritis omnes fines terrae: quia ego Deus, et non est alius.
23 By myself I have sworn, the word has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess to God.
In memetipso iuravi, egredietur de ore meo iustitiae verbum, et non revertetur: quia mihi curvabitur omne genu, et iurabit omnis lingua.
24 Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength. Even to him men shall come, and all those who were incensed against him shall be put to shame.
Ergo in Domino, dicet, meae sunt iustitiae et imperium: ad eum venient, et confundentur omnes qui repugnant ei.
25 In Jehovah all the seed of Israel shall be justified, and shall glory.
In Domino iustificabitur, et laudabitur omne semen Israel.
