< Isaiah 42 >

1 “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
ecce servus meus suscipiam eum electus meus conplacuit sibi in illo anima mea dedi spiritum meum super eum iudicium gentibus proferet
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
non clamabit neque accipiet personam nec audietur foris vox eius
3 He will not break a bruised reed. He will not quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
calamum quassatum non conteret et linum fumigans non extinguet in veritate educet iudicium
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
non erit tristis neque turbulentus donec ponat in terra iudicium et legem eius insulae expectabunt
5 God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
haec dicit Dominus Deus creans caelos et extendens eos firmans terram et quae germinant ex ea dans flatum populo qui est super eam et spiritum calcantibus eam
6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia et adprehendi manum tuam et servavi et dedi te in foedus populi in lucem gentium
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
ut aperires oculos caecorum et educeres de conclusione vinctum de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris
8 “I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
ego Dominus hoc est nomen meum gloriam meam alteri non dabo et laudem meam sculptilibus
9 Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
quae prima fuerant ecce venerunt nova quoque ego adnuntio antequam oriantur audita vobis faciam
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius ab extremis terrae qui descenditis in mare et plenitudo eius insulae et habitatores earum
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
sublevetur desertum et civitates eius in domibus habitabit Cedar laudate habitatores Petrae de vertice montium clamabunt
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
ponent Domino gloriam et laudem eius in insulis nuntiabunt
13 The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
Dominus sicut fortis egredietur sicut vir proeliator suscitabit zelum vociferabitur et clamabit super inimicos suos confortabitur
14 “I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
tacui semper silui patiens fui sicut pariens loquar dissipabo et absorbebo simul
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
desertos faciam montes et colles et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo et ponam flumina in insulas et stagna arefaciam
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
et ducam caecos in via quam nesciunt in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem et prava in recta haec verba feci eis et non dereliqui eos
17 “Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
conversi sunt retrorsum confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili qui dicunt conflatili vos dii nostri
18 “Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
surdi audite et caeci intuemini ad videndum
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD’s servant?
quis caecus nisi servus meus et surdus nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi quis caecus nisi qui venundatus est quis caecus nisi servus Domini
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not listen.
qui vides multa nonne custodies qui apertas habes aures nonne audies
21 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum et magnificaret legem et extolleret
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
ipse autem populus direptus et vastatus laqueus iuvenum omnes et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt facti sunt in rapinam nec est qui eruat in direptionem et non est qui dicat redde
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc adtendat et auscultet futura
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
quis dedit in direptionem Iacob et Israhel vastantibus nonne Dominus ipse cui peccavimus et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare et non audierunt legem eius
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he did not know. It burned him, but he did not take it to heart.”
et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui et forte bellum et conbusit eum in circuitu et non cognovit et succendit eum et non intellexit
