Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
Audite me qui sequimini quod iustum est, et quaeritis Dominum: attendite ad petram unde excisi estis, et ad cavernam laci, de qua praecisi estis.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
Attendite ad Abraham patrem vestrum, et ad Saram, quae peperit vos: quia unum vocavi eum, et benedixi ei, et multiplicavi eum.
3 For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Consolabitur ergo Dominus Sion, et consolabitur omnes ruinas eius: et ponet desertum eius quasi delicias, et solitudinem eius quasi hortum Domini. Gaudium et laetitia invenietur in ea, gratiarum actio, et vox laudis.
4 Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.
Attendite ad me popule meus, et tribus mea me audite: quia lex a me exiet, et iudicium meum in lucem populorum requiescet.
5 My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
Prope est iustus meus, egressus est salvator meus, et brachia mea populos iudicabunt: me insulae expectabunt, et brachium meum sustinebunt.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.
Levate in caelum oculos vestros, et videte sub terra deorsum: quia caeli sicut fumus liquescent, et terra sicut vestimentum atteretur, et habitatores eius sicut haec interibunt: Salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et iustitia mea non deficiet.
7 Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
Audite me qui scitis iustum, populus meus lex mea in corde eorum: nolite timere opprobrium hominum, et blasphemias eorum ne metuatis.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.
Sicut enim vestimentum, sic comedet eos vermis: et sicut lanam, sic devorabit eos tinea: salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et iustitia mea in generationes generationum.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?
Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudinem brachium Domini: consurge sicut in diebus antiquis, in generationibus saeculorum. Numquid non tu percussisti superbum, vulnerasti draconem?
10 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Numquid non tu siccasti mare, aquam abyssi vehementis: qui posuisti profundum maris viam, ut transirent liberati?
11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Et nunc qui redempti sunt a Domino, revertentur, et venient in Sion laudantes, et laetitia sempiterna super capita eorum, gaudium et laetitiam tenebunt, fugiet dolor et gemitus.
12 I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
Ego, ego ipse consolabor vos: quis tu ut timeres ab homine mortali, et a filio hominis, qui quasi foenum ita arescet?
13 And hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
Et oblitus es Domini factoris tui, qui tetendit caelos, et fundavit terram: et formidasti iugiter tota die a facie furoris eius, qui te tribulabat, et paraverat ad perdendum: ubi nunc est furor tribulantis?
14 He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
Cito veniet gradiens ad aperiendum, et non interficiet usque ad internecionem, nec deficiet panis eius.
15 For I am the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is His name.
Ego autem sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui conturbo mare, et intumescunt fluctus eius: Dominus exercituum nomen meum.
16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.'
Posui verba mea in ore tuo, et in umbra manus meae protexi te, ut plantes caelos, et fundes terram: et dicas ad Sion: Populus meus es tu.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Elevare, elevare, consurge Ierusalem, quae bibisti de manu Domini calicem irae eius: usque ad fundum calicis soporis bibisti, et potasti usque ad faeces.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
Non est qui sustentet eam ex omnibus filiis, quos genuit: et non est qui apprehendat manum eius ex omnibus filiis, quos enutrivit.
19 These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
Duo sunt quae occurrerunt tibi: quis contristabitur super te? vastitas, et contritio, et fames, et gladius, quis consolabitur te?
20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
Filii tui proiecti sunt, dormierunt in capite omnium viarum, sicut oryx illaqueatus: pleni indignatione Domini, increpatione Dei tui.
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;
Idcirco audi hoc paupercula, et ebria non a vino.
22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;
Haec dicit dominator tuus Dominus, et Deus tuus, qui pugnabit pro populo suo: Ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis, fundum calicis indignationis meae, non adiicies ut bibas illum ultra.
23 And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
Et ponam illum in manu eorum, qui te humiliaverunt, et dixerunt animae tuae: Incurvare, ut transeamus: et posuisti ut terram corpus tuum, et quasi viam transeuntibus.
