Isaiah 54
1 “Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”
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 site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.
dilata locum tentorii tui et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende ne parcas longos fac funiculos tuos et clavos tuos consolida
3 For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.
ad dexteram enim et ad levam penetrabis et semen tuum gentes hereditabit et civitates desertas inhabitabit
4 Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
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 your husband is your Maker— the LORD of Hosts is His name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.
quia dominabitur tui qui fecit te Dominus exercituum nomen eius et redemptor tuus Sanctus Israhel Deus omnis terrae vocabitur
6 For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.
quia ut mulierem derelictam et maerentem spiritu vocavit te Dominus et uxorem ab adulescentia abiectam dixit Deus tuus
7 “For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
ad punctum in modico dereliqui te et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te
8 In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
in momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui dixit redemptor tuus Dominus
9 “For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
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 Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
montes enim commovebuntur et colles contremescent misericordia autem mea non recedet et foedus pacis meae non movebitur dixit miserator tuus Dominus
11 “O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
paupercula tempestate convulsa absque ulla consolatione ecce ego sternam per ordinem lapides tuos et fundabo te in sapphyris
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua et portas tuas in lapides sculptos et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles
13 Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.
universos filios tuos doctos a Domino et multitudinem pacis filiis tuis
14 In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
et in iustitia fundaberis recede procul a calumnia quia non timebis et a pavore quia non adpropinquabit tibi
15 If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
ecce accola veniet qui non erat mecum advena quondam tuus adiungetur tibi
16 Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas et proferentem vas in opus suum et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
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
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
