Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him — and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, and the gates shall not be shut:
Haec dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro, cuius apprehendi dexteram, ut subiiciam ante faciem eius Gentes, et dorsa regum vertam, et aperiam coram eo ianuas, et portae non claudentur.
2 I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the brazen doors, and cut asunder the bars of iron;
Ego ante te ibo: et gloriosos terrae humiliabo: portas aereas conteram, et vectes ferreos confringam.
3 and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, who call thee by name, [am] the God of Israel.
Et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos, et arcana secretorum: ut scias quia ego Dominus, qui voco nomen tuum, Deus Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me;
Propter servum meum Iacob, et Israel electum meum, vocavi te nomine tuo: assimilavi te, et non cognovisti me.
5 I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me;
Ego Dominus, et non est amplius: extra me non est Deus: accinxi te, et non cognovisti me:
6 — that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else;
Ut sciant hi, qui ab ortu solis, et qui ab occidente, quoniam absque me non est Deus: ego Dominus, et non est alter,
7 forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
formans lucem, et creans tenebras, faciens pacem, et creans malum: ego Dominus faciens omnia haec.
8 Drop down, [ye] heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and with it let righteousness spring up. I, Jehovah, have created it.
Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant iustum: aperiatur terra, et germinet salvatorem: et iustitia oriatur simul: ego Dominus creavi eum.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?
Vae qui contradicit fictori suo, testa de samiis terrae: numquid dicet lutum figulo suo: Quid facis, et opus tuum absque manibus est?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? Or to [his] mother, What hast thou brought forth?
Vae qui dicit patri: Quid generas? et mulieri: Quid parturis?
11 Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.
Haec dicit Dominus sanctus Israel plastes eius: Ventura interrogate me, super filios meos, et super opus manuum mearum mandate mihi.
12 It is I that have made the earth, and created man upon it; it is I, my hands, that have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Ego feci terram, et hominem super eam creavi ego: manus meae tetenderunt caelos, et omni militiae eorum mandavi.
13 It is I that have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Ego suscitavi eum ad iustitiam, et omnes vias eius dirigam: ipse aedificabit civitatem meam, et captivitatem meam dimittet, non in pretio, neque in muneribus, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
14 Thus saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall walk after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall bow down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying, ] Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, no other God. ...
Haec dicit Dominus: Labor Aegypti, et negotiatio Aethiopiae, et Sabaim viri sublimes, ad te transibunt, et tui erunt: Post te ambulabunt, vincti manicis pergent: et te adorabunt, teque deprecabuntur: Tantum in te est Deus, et non est absque te Deus.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. ...
Vere tu es Deus absconditus, Deus Israel salvator.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go away in confusion together, the makers of idols.
Confusi sunt, et erubuerunt omnes: simul abierunt in confusionem fabricatores errorum.
17 Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded, unto the ages of ages.
Israel salvatus est in Domino salute aeterna: non confundemini, et non erubescetis usque in saeculum saeculi.
18 For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, — not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: — I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.
Quia haec dicit Dominus creans caelos, ipse Deus formans terram, et faciens eam, ipse plastes eius: non in vanum creavit eam: ut habitaretur, formavit eam. ego Dominus, et non est alius.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, declaring things which are right.
Non in abscondito locutus sum in loco terrae tenebroso: non dixi semini Iacob: Frustra quaerite me. ego Dominus loquens iustitiam, annuncians recta.
20 Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
Congregamini, et venite, et accedite simul qui salvati estis ex Gentibus: nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturae suae, et rogant Deum non salvantem.
21 Declare and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? [who] hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
Annunciate, et venite, et consiliamini simul: quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, et tunc praedixit illud? numquid non ego Dominus, et non est ultra deus absque me? Deus iustus, et salvans non est praeter me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.
Convertimini ad me, et salvi eritis omnes fines terrae: quia ego Deus, et non est alius.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
In memetipso iuravi, egredietur de ore meo iustitiae verbum, et non revertetur: quia mihi curvabitur omne genu, et iurabit omnis lingua.
24 Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength. To him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
Ergo in Domino, dicet, meae sunt iustitiae et imperium: ad eum venient, et confundentur omnes qui repugnant ei.
25 In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
In Domino iustificabitur, et laudabitur omne semen Israel.
