Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine elect [in whom] my soul delighteth! I will put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.
Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum: electus meus, complacuit sibi in illo anima mea: dedi spiritum meum super eum, iudicium Gentibus proferet.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam, nec audietur vox eius foris.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment according to truth.
Calamum quassatum non conteret, et linum fumigans non extinguet: in veritate educet iudicium.
4 He shall not faint nor be in haste, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus, donec ponat in terra iudicium: et legem eius insulæ expectabunt.
5 Thus saith God, Jehovah, he that created the heavens and stretched them out, he that spread forth the earth and its productions, he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus creans cælos, et extendens eos: formans terram, et quæ germinant ex ea: dans flatum populo, qui est super eam, et spiritum calcantibus eam.
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thy hand; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations,
Ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia, et apprehendi manum tuam, et servavi te. Et dedi te in fœdus populi, in lucem Gentium:
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring forth the prisoner from the prison, them that sit in darkness out of the house of restraint.
Ut aperires oculos cæcorum, et educeres de conclusione vinctum, de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.
8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Ego Dominus, hoc est nomen meum: gloriam meam alteri non dabo, et laudem meam sculptilibus.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth will I cause you to hear them.
Quæ prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt: nova quoque ego annuncio: antequam oriantur, audita vobis faciam.
10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles and their inhabitants.
Cantate Domino canticum novum, laus eius ab extremis terræ: qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo eius, insulæ, et habitatores earum.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains:
Sublevetur desertum, et civitates eius: in domibus habitabit Cedar: laudate habitatores Petræ, de vertice montium clamabunt.
12 let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
Ponent Domino gloriam, et laudem eius in insulis nunciabunt.
13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout; he will shew himself mighty against his enemies.
Dominus sicut fortis egredietur, sicut vir præliator suscitabit zelum: vociferabitur, et clamabit: super inimicos suos confortabitur.
14 Long time have I holden my peace; I have been still, I have restrained myself: I will cry like a woman that travaileth; I will blow and pant at once.
Tacui semper, silui, patiens fui, sicut parturiens loquar: dissipabo, et absorbebo simul.
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Desertos faciam montes, et colles, et omne gramen eorum exiccabo: et ponam flumina in insulas, et stagna arefaciam.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not, in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Et ducam cæcos in viam, quam nesciunt, et in semitis, quas ignoraverunt, ambulare eos faciam: ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem, et prava in recta: hæc verba feci eis, et non dereliqui eos.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be covered with shame, that confide in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
Conversi sunt retrorsum: confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili, qui dicunt conflatili: Vos dii nostri.
18 — Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Surdi audite, et cæci intuemini ad videndum.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? and deaf, as my messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he in whom I have trusted, and blind as Jehovah's servant,
Quis cæcus, nisi servus meus? et surdus, nisi ad quem nuncios meos misi? quis cæcus, nisi qui venundatus est? et quis cæcus, nisi servus Domini?
20 — seeing many things, and thou observest not? With opened ears, he heareth not.
Qui vides multa, nonne custodies? qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies?
21 Jehovah had delight [in him] for his righteousness' sake: he hath magnified the law, and made it honourable.
Et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum, et magnificaret legem, et extolleret.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and hidden in prison-houses; they are become a prey, and none delivereth, — a spoil, and none saith, 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, nec est qui dicat: Redde.
23 Who among you will give ear to this, [who] will hearken and hear what is to come?
Quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc, attendat et auscultet futura?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
Quis dedit in direptionem Iacob, et Israel vastantibus? nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus? Et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare, et non audierunt legem eius.
25 And he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he took it not to heart.
Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui, et forte bellum, et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit: et succendit eum, et non intellexit.
