Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Jehovah has spoken. I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.
audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know; my people does not consider.
cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Jehovah. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They have gone away backward.
vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum
5 Why will ye still be stricken, that ye revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
a planta pedis usque ad verticem non est in eo sanitas vulnus et livor et plaga tumens non est circumligata nec curata medicamine neque fota oleo
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur
9 Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae
11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats.
quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui
12 When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts?
cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis
13 Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting.
ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt
16 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse
17 Learn to do good. Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
et venite et arguite me dicit Dominus si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum quasi nix dealbabuntur et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus velut lana erunt
19 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est
21 How the faithful city has become a harlot! She who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae
22 Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua
23 Thy rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They judge not the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
principes tui infideles socii furum omnes diligunt munera sequuntur retributiones pupillo non iudicant et causa viduae non ingreditur ad eos
24 Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies.
propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.
et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.
et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua
31 And the strong man shall be as flax, and his work as a spark. And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
