Isaiah 54
1 Give praise, you who are barren and unable to conceive. Sing praise and make a joyful noise, you who have not given birth. For many are the children of the desolate, more so than of her who has a husband, says the Lord.
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 place of your tent and extend the skins of your tabernacles, unsparingly. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
dilata locum tentorii tui et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende ne parcas longos fac funiculos tuos et clavos tuos consolida
3 For you shall extend to the right and to the left. And your offspring shall inherit the nations, and you shall 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 confounded, and you will not blush. And you will not be put to shame, because you shall forget the confusion of your youth, and you shall no longer remember the disgrace 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 the One who made you will rule over you. The Lord of hosts is his name. And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will be 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, like a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and like a wife rejected in her youth, said 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 have forsaken you, and with great pities, I will gather you.
ad punctum in modico dereliqui te et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te
8 In a moment of indignation, I have hidden my face from you, for a little while. But with everlasting mercy, I have taken pity on you, said your Redeemer, the Lord.
in momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui dixit redemptor tuus Dominus
9 For me, it is just as in the days of Noah, to whom I swore that I would no longer bring in the waters of Noah over the earth. Thus have I sworn not to be angry with you, and not to 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 For the mountains will be moved, and the hills will tremble. But my mercy will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not be shaken, said 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 poor little ones, convulsed by the tempest, away from any consolation! Behold, I will set your stones in order, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires,
paupercula tempestate convulsa absque ulla consolatione ecce ego sternam per ordinem lapides tuos et fundabo te in sapphyris
12 and I will make your ramparts out of jasper, and your gates out of sculpted stones, and all your borders out of desirable stones.
et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua et portas tuas in lapides sculptos et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord. And great will be the peace of your children.
universos filios tuos doctos a Domino et multitudinem pacis filiis tuis
14 And you will be founded in justice. Depart far from oppression, for you will not be afraid. And depart from terror, for it will not approach you.
et in iustitia fundaberis recede procul a calumnia quia non timebis et a pavore quia non adpropinquabit tibi
15 Behold, a settler will arrive, who was not with me, a certain new arrival will be joined to you.
ecce accola veniet qui non erat mecum advena quondam tuus adiungetur tibi
16 Behold, I created the smith who fans the coals of the fire and produces an object by his work, and I have created the slayer who destroys.
ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas et proferentem vas in opus suum et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum
17 No object which has been formed to use against you will succeed. And every tongue that resists you in judgment, you shall judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and this is their justice with me, says the Lord.
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
