Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength; let them draw near, then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.
taceant ad me insulae et gentes mutent fortitudinem accedant et tunc loquantur simul ad iudicium propinquemus
2 Who hath raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attendeth? He giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; his sword maketh them as the dust, his bow as the driven stubble.
quis suscitavit ab oriente iustum vocavit eum ut sequeretur se dabit in conspectu eius gentes et reges obtinebit dabit quasi pulverem gladio eius sicut stipulam vento raptam arcui eius
3 He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; the way with his feet he treadeth not.
persequetur eos transibit in pace semita in pedibus eius non apparebit
4 Who hath wrought and done it? He that called the generations from the beginning. I, the LORD, who am the first, and with the last am the same.
quis haec operatus est et fecit vocans generationes ab exordio ego Dominus primus et novissimus ego sum
5 The isles saw, and feared; the ends of the earth trembled; they drew near, and came.
viderunt insulae et timuerunt extrema terrae obstipuerunt adpropinquaverunt et accesserunt
6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother: 'Be of good courage.'
unusquisque proximo suo auxiliatur et fratri suo dicit confortare
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering: 'It is good'; and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
confortabit faber aerarius percutiens malleo eum qui cudebat tunc temporis dicens glutino bonum est et confortavit eum in clavis ut non moveatur
8 But thou, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend;
et tu Israhel serve meus Iacob quem elegi semen Abraham amici mei
9 Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the uttermost parts thereof, and said unto thee: 'Thou art My servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away';
in quo adprehendi te ab extremis terrae et a longinquis eius vocavi te et dixi tibi servus meus es tu elegi te et non abieci te
10 Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee; yea, I uphold thee with My victorious right hand.
ne timeas quia tecum sum ego ne declines quia ego Deus tuus confortavi te et auxiliatus sum tui et suscepi te dextera iusti mei
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they that strove with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.
ecce confundentur et erubescent omnes qui pugnant adversum te erunt quasi non sint et peribunt viri qui contradicunt tibi
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee; they that warred against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
quaeres eos et non invenies viros rebelles tuos erunt quasi non sint et veluti consumptio homines bellantes adversum te
13 For I the LORD thy God hold thy right hand, who say unto thee: 'Fear not, I help thee.'
quia ego Dominus Deus tuus adprehendens manum tuam dicensque tibi ne timeas ego adiuvi te
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I help thee, saith the LORD, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
noli timere vermis Iacob qui mortui estis ex Israhel ego auxiliatus sum tui dicit Dominus et redemptor tuus Sanctus Israhel
15 Behold, I make thee a new threshing-sledge having sharp teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
ego posui te quasi plaustrum triturans novum habens rostra serrantia triturabis montes et comminues et colles quasi pulverem pones
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
ventilabis eos et ventus tollet et turbo disperget eos et tu exultabis in Domino in Sancto Israhel laetaberis
17 The poor and needy seek water and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
egeni et pauperes quaerunt aquas et non sunt lingua eorum siti aruit ego Dominus exaudiam eos Deus Israhel non derelinquam eos
18 I will open rivers on the high hills, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
aperiam in supinis collibus flumina et in medio camporum fontes ponam desertum in stagna aquarum et terram inviam in rivos aquarum
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia-tree, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane-tree, and the larch together;
dabo in solitudine cedrum et spinam et myrtum et lignum olivae ponam in deserto abietem ulmum et buxum simul
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
ut videant et sciant et recogitent et intellegant pariter quia manus Domini fecit hoc et Sanctus Israhel creavit illud
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
prope facite iudicium vestrum dicit Dominus adferte si quid forte habetis dixit Rex Iacob
22 Let them bring them forth, and declare unto us the things that shall happen; the former things, what are they? Declare ye, that we may consider, and know the end of them; or announce to us things to come.
accedant et nuntient nobis quaecumque ventura sunt priora quae fuerint nuntiate et ponemus cor nostrum et sciemus novissima eorum et quae ventura sunt indicate nobis
23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
adnuntiate quae ventura sunt in futurum et sciemus quia dii estis vos bene quoque aut male si potestis facite et loquamur et videamus simul
24 Behold, ye are nothing, and your work a thing of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you.
ecce vos estis ex nihilo et opus vestrum ex eo quod non est abominatio est qui elegit vos
25 I have roused up one from the north, and he is come, from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon My name; and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.
suscitavi ab aquilone et venit ab ortu solis vocabit nomen meum et adducet magistratus quasi lutum et velut plastes conculcans humum
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say that he is right? Yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that announceth, yea, there is none that heareth your utterances.
quis adnuntiavit ab exordio ut sciamus et a principio ut dicamus iustus es non est neque adnuntians neque praedicens neque audiens sermones vestros
27 A harbinger unto Zion will I give: 'Behold, behold them', and to Jerusalem a messenger of good tidings.
primus ad Sion dicet ecce adsunt et Hierusalem evangelistam dabo
28 And I look, but there is no man; even among them, but there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can give an answer.
et vidi et non erat neque ex istis quisquam qui iniret consilium et interrogatus responderet verbum
29 Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nought; their molten images are wind and confusion.
ecce omnes iniusti et vana opera eorum ventus et inane simulacra eorum
