Isaiah 66
1 Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What manner of house will ye build to me, and what place shall be my rest?
Hæc dicit Dominus: Cælum sedes mea, terra autem scabellum pedum meorum: quæ est ista domus, quam ædificabitis mihi? Et quis est iste locus quietis meæ?
2 For all these things my hand has made, and all these things came to be, says Jehovah. But to this man I will look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Omnia hæc manus mea fecit, et facta sunt universa ista, dicit Dominus. Ad quem autem respiciam, nisi ad pauperculum, et contritum spiritu, et trementem sermones meos?
3 He who slaughters an ox is as he who kills a man. He who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck. He who offers an oblation, as swine's blood. He who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
Qui immolat bovem, quasi qui interficiat virum: qui mactat pecus, quasi qui excerebret canem: qui offert oblationem, quasi qui sanguinem suillum offerat: qui recordatur thuris, quasi qui benedicat idolo. Hæc omnia elegerunt in viis suis, et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectata est.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them. Because when I called, none answered. When I spoke, they did not hear. But they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.
Unde et ego eligam illusiones eorum: et quæ timebant, adducam eis: quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet: locutus sum, et non audierunt: feceruntque malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui elegerunt.
5 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye who tremble at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, Let Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy. But it is those who shall be put to shame.
Audite verbum Domini, qui tremitis ad verbum eius: dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos, et abiicientes propter nomen meum: glorificetur Dominus, et videbimus in lætitia vestra: ipsi autem confundentur.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah who renders recompense to his enemies.
Vox populi de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth. Before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.
Antequam parturiret peperit: antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
Quis audivit umquam tale? Et quis vidit huic simile? Numquid parturiet terra in die una? Aut parietur gens simul? Quia parturivit et peperit Sion filios suos.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says Jehovah. Shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says thy God.
Numquid ego, qui alios parere facio, ipse non pariam, dicit Dominus? Si ego, qui generationem ceteris tribuo, sterilis ero, ait Dominus Deus tuus?
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all ye who mourn over her,
Lætamini cum Ierusalem, et exultate in ea, omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum ea gaudio universi, qui lugetis super eam
11 that ye may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations, that ye may get milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
ut sugatis, et repleamini ab ubere consolationis eius: ut mulgeatis, et deliciis affluatis ab omnimoda gloria eius.
12 For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego declinabo super eam quasi fluvium pacis, et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam Gentium, quam sugetis: ad ubera portabimini, et super genua blandientur vobis.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Quomodo si cui mater blandiatur, ita ego consolabor vos, et in Ierusalem consolabimini.
14 And ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies.
Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt, et cognoscetur manus Domini servis eius, et indignabitur inimicis suis.
15 For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind, to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, et quasi turbo quadrigæ eius: reddere in indignatione furorem suum, et increpationem suam in flamma ignis:
16 For by fire Jehovah will execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh, and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit, et in gladio suo ad omnem carnem, et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino,
17 Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, says Jehovah.
qui sanctificabantur, et mundos se putabant in hortis post ianuam intrinsecus, qui comedebant carnem suillam, et abominationem et murem: simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
Ego autem opera eorum, et cogitationes eorum: venio ut congregem cum omnibus gentibus et linguis: et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Et ponam in eis signum, et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad Gentes in mare, in Africam, et Lydiam tendentes sagittam: in Italiam et Græciam, ad insulas longe, ad eos, qui non audierunt de me, et non viderunt gloriam meam. Et annunciabunt gloriam meam Gentibus,
20 And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an oblation to Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the sons of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
et adducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis Gentibus donum Domino in equis, et in quadrigis, et in lecticis, et in mulis, et in carrucis, ad montem sanctum meum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus, quomodo si inferant filii Israel munus in vase mundo in domum Domini.
21 And of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.
Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes, et Levitas, dicit Dominus:
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Quia sicut cæli novi, et terra nova, quæ ego facio stare coram me, dicit Dominus: sic stabit semen vestrum, et nomen vestrum.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says Jehovah.
Et erit mensis ex mense, et Sabbatum ex Sabbato: veniet omnis caro ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me. For their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.
Et egredientur, et videbunt cadavera virorum, qui prævaricati sunt in me: vermis eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non extinguetur: et erunt usque ad satietatem visionis omni carni.
