Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to me, ye who follow after righteousness, ye who seek Jehovah. Look to the rock from where ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit from where ye were dug.
audite me qui sequimini quod iustum est et quaeritis Dominum adtendite ad petram unde excisi estis et ad cavernam laci de qua praecisi estis
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
adtendite ad Abraham patrem vestrum et ad Sarram quae peperit vos quia unum vocavi eum et benedixi ei et multiplicavi eum
3 For Jehovah has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
consolabitur ergo Dominus et Sion consolabitur omnes ruinas eius et ponet desertum eius quasi delicias et solitudinem eius quasi hortum Domini gaudium et laetitia invenietur in ea gratiarum actio et vox laudis
4 Attend to me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my nation. For a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
adtendite ad me populus meus et tribus mea me audite quia lex a me exiet et iudicium meum in lucem populorum requiescet
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.
prope est iustus meus egressus est salvator meus et brachia mea populos iudicabunt me insulae expectabunt et brachium meum sustinebunt
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
levate in caelum oculos vestros et videte sub terra deorsum quia caeli sicut fumus liquescent et terra sicut vestimentum adteretur et habitatores eius sicut haec interibunt salus autem mea in sempiternum erit et iustitia mea non deficiet
7 Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.
audite me qui scitis iustum populus lex mea in corde eorum nolite timere obprobrium hominum et blasphemias eorum ne metuatis
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.
sicut enim vestimentum sic comedet eos vermis et sicut lanam sic devorabit eos tinea salus autem mea in sempiternum erit et iustitia mea in generationes generationum
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
consurge consurge induere fortitudinem brachium Domini consurge sicut in diebus antiquis in generationibus saeculorum numquid non tu percussisti superbum vulnerasti draconem
10 Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
numquid non tu siccasti mare aquam abyssi vehementis qui posuisti profundum maris viam ut transirent liberati
11 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
et nunc qui redempti sunt a Domino revertentur et venient in Sion laudantes et laetitia sempiterna super capita eorum gaudium et laetitiam tenebunt fugiet dolor et gemitus
12 I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are thou, that thou are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass,
ego ego ipse consolabor vos quis tu ut timeres ab homine mortali et a filio hominis qui quasi faenum ita arescet
13 and have forgotten Jehovah thy maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
et oblitus es Domini factoris tui qui tetendit caelos et fundavit terram et formidasti iugiter tota die a facie furoris eius qui te tribulabat et paraverat ad perdendum ubi nunc est furor tribulantis
14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
cito veniet gradiens ad aperiendum et non interficiet usque ad internicionem nec deficiet panis eius
15 For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirs up the sea so that the waves of it roar. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
ego autem sum Dominus Deus tuus qui conturbo mare et intumescunt fluctus eius Dominus exercituum nomen meum
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou are my people.
posui verba mea in ore tuo et in umbra manus meae protexi te ut plantes caelos et fundes terram et dicas ad Sion populus meus es tu
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
elevare elevare consurge Hierusalem quae bibisti de manu Domini calicem irae eius usque ad fundum calicis soporis bibisti et epotasti usque ad feces
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth, nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons that she has brought up.
non est qui sustentet eam ex omnibus filiis quos genuit et non est qui adprehendat manum eius ex omnibus filiis quos enutrivit
19 These two things have befallen thee (Who shall bemoan thee?): Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. How shall I comfort thee?
duo sunt quae occurrerunt tibi quis contristabitur super te vastitas et contritio et fames et gladius quis consolabitur te
20 Thy sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
filii tui proiecti sunt dormierunt in capite omnium viarum sicut bestia inlaqueata pleni indignatione Domini increpatione Dei tui
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
idcirco audi hoc paupercula et ebria non a vino
22 Thus says thy lord Jehovah, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.
haec dicit Dominator tuus Dominus et Deus tuus qui pugnavit pro populo suo ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis fundum calicis indignationis meae non adicies ut bibas illud ultra
23 And I will put it into the hand of those who afflict thee, who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over, and thou have laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
et ponam illud in manu eorum qui te humiliaverunt et dixerunt animae tuae incurvare ut transeamus et posuisti ut terram corpus tuum et quasi viam transeuntibus
