< Isaiah 54 >

1 Sing, O barren, thou who did not bear. Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou who did not travail with child. For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married woman, says Jehovah.
lauda sterilis quae non paris decanta laudem et hinni quae non pariebas quoniam multi filii desertae magis quam eius quae habebat virum dicit Dominus
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
dilata locum tentorii tui et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende ne parcas longos fac funiculos tuos et clavos tuos consolida
3 For thou shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
ad dexteram enim et ad levam penetrabis et semen tuum gentes hereditabit et civitates desertas inhabitabit
4 Fear not, for thou shall not be ashamed. Neither be thou confounded, for thou shall not be put to shame. For thou shall forget the shame of thy youth. And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shall remember no more.
noli timere quia non confunderis neque erubescas non enim te pudebit quia confusionis adulescentiae tuae oblivisceris et obprobrii viduitatis tuae non recordaberis amplius
5 For thy maker is thy husband. Jehovah of hosts is his name. And the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer. He shall be called the God of the whole earth.
quia dominabitur tui qui fecit te Dominus exercituum nomen eius et redemptor tuus Sanctus Israhel Deus omnis terrae vocabitur
6 For Jehovah has called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth when she is cast off, says thy God.
quia ut mulierem derelictam et maerentem spiritu vocavit te Dominus et uxorem ab adulescentia abiectam dixit Deus tuus
7 For a small moment I have forsaken thee, but with great mercies I will gather thee.
ad punctum in modico dereliqui te et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on thee, says Jehovah thy Redeemer.
in momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui dixit redemptor tuus Dominus
9 For this is as the waters of Noah to me. For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.
sicut in diebus Noe istud mihi est cui iuravi ne inducerem aquas Noe ultra super terram sic iuravi ut non irascar tibi et non increpem te
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness shall not depart from thee, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Jehovah who has mercy on thee.
montes enim commovebuntur et colles contremescent misericordia autem mea non recedet et foedus pacis meae non movebitur dixit miserator tuus Dominus
11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
paupercula tempestate convulsa absque ulla consolatione ecce ego sternam per ordinem lapides tuos et fundabo te in sapphyris
12 And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.
et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua et portas tuas in lapides sculptos et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles
13 And all thy sons shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
universos filios tuos doctos a Domino et multitudinem pacis filiis tuis
14 Thou shall be established in righteousness. Thou shall be far from oppression, for thou shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
et in iustitia fundaberis recede procul a calumnia quia non timebis et a pavore quia non adpropinquabit tibi
15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee.
ecce accola veniet qui non erat mecum advena quondam tuus adiungetur tibi
16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work. And I have created the waster to destroy.
ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas et proferentem vas in opus suum et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper. And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, says Jehovah.
omne vas quod fictum est contra te non dirigetur et omnem linguam resistentem tibi in iudicio iudicabis haec hereditas servorum Domini et iustitia eorum apud me dicit Dominus
