Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man considereth it in heart: and mercifull men are taken away, and no man vnderstandeth that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come.
iustus perit et nemo est qui recogitet in corde suo et viri misericordiae colliguntur quia non est qui intellegat a facie enim malitiae collectus est iustus
2 Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euery one that walketh before him.
veniat pax requiescat in cubili suo qui ambulavit in directione sua
3 But you witches children, come hither, the seede of the adulterer and of the whore.
vos autem accedite huc filii auguratricis semen adulteri et fornicariae
4 On whome haue ye iested? vpon whome haue ye gaped and thrust out your tongue? are not ye rebellious children, and a false seede?
super quem lusistis super quem dilatastis os et eiecistis linguam numquid non vos filii scelesti semen mendax
5 Inflamed with idoles vnder euery greene tree? and sacrificing the children in the valleys vnder the tops of the rocks?
qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum immolantes parvulos in torrentibus subter inminentes petras
6 Thy portion is in the smooth stones of the riuer: they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delite in these?
in partibus torrentis pars tua haec est sors tua et ipsis effudisti libamen obtulisti sacrificium numquid super his non indignabor
7 Thou hast made thy bed vpon a very hie mountaine: thou wentest vp thither, euen thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum et illuc ascendisti ut immolares hostias
8 Behinde the doores also and postes hast thou set vp thy remembrance: for thou hast discouered thy selfe to another then me, and wentest vp, and diddest enlarge thy bed, and make a couenant betweene thee and them, and louedst their bed in euery place where thou sawest it.
et post ostium et retro postem posuisti memoriale tuum quia iuxta me discoperuisti et suscepisti adulterum dilatasti cubile tuum et pepigisti cum eis dilexisti stratum eorum manu aperta
9 Thou wentest to the Kings with oyle, and diddest increase thine oyntments and sende thy messengers farre off, and diddest humble thy selfe vnto hell. (Sheol h7585)
et ornasti te regi unguento et multiplicasti pigmenta tua misisti legatos tuos procul et humiliata es usque ad inferos (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou weariedst thy selfe in thy manifolde iourneys, yet saydest thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found life by thine hand, therefore thou wast not grieued.
in multitudine viae tuae laborasti non dixisti quiescam vitam manus tuae invenisti propterea non rogasti
11 And whome diddest thou reuerence or feare, seeing thou hast lyed vnto me, and hast not remembred me, neither set thy minde thereon? is it not because I holde my peace, and that of long time? therefore thou fearest not me.
pro quo sollicita timuisti quia mentita es et mei non es recordata neque cogitasti in corde tuo quia ego tacens et quasi non videns et mei oblita es
12 I will declare thy righteousnes and thy workes, and they shall not profite thee.
ego adnuntiabo iustitiam tuam et opera tua non proderunt tibi
13 When thou cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together deliuer thee: but the winde shall take them all away: vanitie shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me, shall inherite the lande, and shall possesse mine holy Mountaine.
cum clamaveris liberent te congregati tui et omnes eos auferet ventus tollet aura qui autem fiduciam habet mei hereditabit terram et possidebit montem sanctum meum
14 And he shall say, Cast vp, cast vp: prepare the way: take vp the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
et dicam viam facite praebete iter declinate de semita auferte offendicula de via populi mei
15 For thus sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.
quia haec dicit Excelsus et Sublimis habitans aeternitatem et sanctum nomen eius in excelso et in sancto habitans et cum contrito et humili spiritu ut vivificet spiritum humilium et vivificet cor contritorum
16 For I will not contende for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth, for the spirite should fayle before me: and I haue made the breath.
non enim in sempiternum litigabo neque usque ad finem irascar quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur et flatus ego faciam
17 For his wicked couetousnesse I am angry with him, and haue smitten him: I hid mee and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his owne heart.
propter iniquitatem avaritiae eius iratus sum et percussi eum abscondi et indignatus sum et abiit vagus in via cordis sui
18 I haue seene his wayes, and wil heale him: I wil leade him also, and restore comfort vnto him, and to those that lament him.
vias eius vidi et dimisi eum et reduxi eum et reddidi consolationes ipsi et lugentibus eius
19 I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him.
creavi fructum labiorum pacem pacem ei qui longe est et qui prope dixit Dominus et sanavi eum
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt.
impii autem quasi mare fervens quod quiescere non potest et redundant fluctus eius in conculcationem et lutum
21 There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.
non est pax dixit Deus meus impiis
