Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
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 the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
Calamum quassatum non conteret, et linum fumigans non extinguet: in veritate educet iudicium.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus, donec ponat in terra iudicium: et legem eius insulae expectabunt.
5 Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Haec dicit Dominus Deus creans caelos, et extendens eos: formans terram, et quae germinant ex ea: dans flatum populo, qui est super eam, et spiritum calcantibus eam.
6 I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia, et apprehendi manum tuam, et servavi te. Et dedi te in foedus populi, in lucem Gentium:
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Ut aperires oculos caecorum, et educeres de conclusione vinctum, de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.
8 I am the LORD: 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 I tell you of them.
Quae prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt: nova quoque ego annuncio: antequam oriantur, audita vobis faciam.
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Cantate Domino canticum novum, laus eius ab extremis terrae: qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo eius, insulae, et habitatores earum.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar does 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 Petrae, de vertice montium clamabunt.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Ponent Domino gloriam, et laudem eius in insulis nunciabunt.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yes, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
Dominus sicut fortis egredietur, sicut vir praeliator suscitabit zelum: vociferabitur, et clamabit: super inimicos suos confortabitur.
14 I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
Tacui semper, silui, patiens fui, sicut parturiens loquar: dissipabo, et absorbebo simul.
15 I will make 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 knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do to them, and not forsake them.
Et ducam caecos in viam, quam nesciunt, et in semitis, quas ignoraverunt, ambulare eos faciam: ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem, et prava in recta: haec verba feci eis, et non dereliqui eos.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, You are our gods.
Conversi sunt retrorsum: confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili, qui dicunt conflatili: Vos dii nostri.
18 Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
Surdi audite, et caeci intuemini ad videndum.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?
Quis caecus, nisi servus meus? et surdus, nisi ad quem nuncios meos misi? quis caecus, nisi qui venundatus est? et quis caecus, nisi servus Domini?
20 Seeing many things, but you observe not; opening the ears, but he hears not.
Qui vides multa, nonne custodies? qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies?
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
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 they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none says, 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 listen and hear for the time 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 the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to 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 Therefore he has poured on him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it has set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid 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.
