Esias 65
1 I became manifest to them that asked not for me; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold, I am [here], to a nation, who called not on my name.
Quaesierunt me qui ante non interrogabant, invenerunt qui non quaesierunt me. dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego ad Gentem, quae non invocabat nomen meum.
2 I have stretched forth my hands all day to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to them that walked in a way that was not good, but after their sins.
Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.
3 This is the people that provokes me continually in my presence; they offer sacrifices in gardens, and burn incense on bricks to devils, which exist not.
Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper: qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres:
4 They lie down to sleep in the tombs and in the caves for the sake of dreams, [even] they that eat swine's flesh, and the broth of [their] sacrifices: all their vessels are defiled:
qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt: qui comedunt carnem suillam, et ius profanum in vasis eorum.
5 who say, Depart from me, draw not nigh to me, for I am pure. This is the smoke of my wrath, a fire burns with it continually.
Qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es: isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom,
Ecce scriptum est coram me: non tacebo, sed reddam et retribuam in sinu eorum
7 their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, saith the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.
iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul, dicit Dominus, qui sacrificaverunt super montes, et super colles exprobraverunt mihi, et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.
8 Thus saith the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake I will not destroy [them] all.
Haec dicit Dominus: Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur: Ne dissipes illud, quoniam benedictio est: sic faciam propter servos meos, ut non disperdam totum.
9 And I will lead forth the seed [that came] of Jacob and of Juda, and they shall inherit my holy mountain: and mine elect and my servants shall inherit it, and shall dwell there.
Et educam de Iacob semen, et de Iuda possidentem montes meos: et hereditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.
10 And there shall be in the forest folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor [shall] be for a resting-place of herds for my people, who have sought me.
Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum populo meo qui requisierunt me.
11 But ye are they that have left me, and forget my holy mountain, and prepare a table for the devil, and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune.
Et vos, qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis Fortunae mensam, et libatis super eam.
12 I will deliver you up to the sword, ye shall all fall by slaughter: for I called you, and ye hearkened not; I spoke, and ye refused to hear; and ye did evil in my sight, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
Numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in caede corruetis: pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis: locutus sum, et non audistis: et faciebatis malum in oculis meis, et quae nolui, elegistis.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall hunger: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis: ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis:
14 behold, my servants shall exult with joy, but ye shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.
Ecce servi mei laetabuntur, et vos confundemini: Ecce servi mei laudabunt prae exultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis prae dolore cordis, et prae contritione spiritus ululabitis.
15 For ye shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new name,
Et dimittetis nomen vestrum in iuramentum electis meis: et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio.
16 which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, it shall not come into their mind.
In quo qui benedictus est super terram, benedicetur in Deo amen: et qui iurat in terra, iurabit in Deo amen: quia oblivioni traditae sunt angustiae priores, et quia absconditae sunt ab oculis nostris.
17 For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.
Ecce enim ego creo caelos novos, et terram novam: et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.
18 But they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.
Sed gaudebitis et exultabitis usque in sempiternum in his, quae ego creo: quia ecce ego creo Ierusalem exultationem, et populum eius gaudium.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.
Et exultabo in Ierusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo: et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.
20 Neither shall there be there any more a [child that dies] untimely, or an old man who shall not complete his time: for the youth shall be a hundred years [old], and the sinner who dies at a hundred years shall also be accursed:
Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos: quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.
21 and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.
Et aedificabunt domos, et habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.
22 They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labours.
Non aedificabunt, et alius habitabit: non plantabunt, et alius comedet: secundum enim dies ligni, erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt:
23 My chosen shall not toil in vain, neither shall they beget children to be cursed; for they are a seed blessed of God, and their offspring with them.
electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione: quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.
24 And it shall come to pass, [that] before they call, I will hearken to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?
Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam: adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.
25 Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat chaff like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not injure nor destroy in my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas: et serpenti pulvis panis eius: non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.
