Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment 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 cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
non clamabit neque accipiet personam nec audietur foris vox eius
3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
calamum quassatum non conteret et linum fumigans non extinguet in veritate educet iudicium
4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
non erit tristis neque turbulentus donec ponat in terra iudicium et legem eius insulae expectabunt
5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
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 justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia et adprehendi manum tuam et servavi et dedi te in foedus populi in lucem gentium
7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
ut aperires oculos caecorum et educeres de conclusione vinctum de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris
8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
ego Dominus hoc est nomen meum gloriam meam alteri non dabo et laudem meam sculptilibus
9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
quae prima fuerant ecce venerunt nova quoque ego adnuntio antequam oriantur audita vobis faciam
10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, 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 desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
sublevetur desertum et civitates eius in domibus habitabit Cedar laudate habitatores Petrae de vertice montium clamabunt
12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
ponent Domino gloriam et laudem eius in insulis nuntiabunt
13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
Dominus sicut fortis egredietur sicut vir proeliator suscitabit zelum vociferabitur et clamabit super inimicos suos confortabitur
14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
tacui semper silui patiens fui sicut pariens loquar dissipabo et absorbebo simul
15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
desertos faciam montes et colles et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo et ponam flumina in insulas et stagna arefaciam
16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned 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 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
conversi sunt retrorsum confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili qui dicunt conflatili vos dii nostri
18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
surdi audite et caeci intuemini ad videndum
19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
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 who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
qui vides multa nonne custodies qui apertas habes aures nonne audies
21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum et magnificaret legem et extolleret
22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
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 hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc adtendat et auscultet futura
24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? Is it not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to 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 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui et forte bellum et conbusit eum in circuitu et non cognovit et succendit eum et non intellexit
