< Isaiah 51 >
1 Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look to the rock from where you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from where you are dig.
audite me qui sequimini quod iustum est et quaeritis Dominum adtendite ad petram unde excisi estis et ad cavernam laci de qua praecisi estis
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
adtendite ad Abraham patrem vestrum et ad Sarram quae peperit vos quia unum vocavi eum et benedixi ei et multiplicavi eum
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make 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 et Sion 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 Listen to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
adtendite ad me populus meus et tribus mea me audite quia lex a me exiet et iudicium meum in lucem populorum requiescet
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait on me, and on my 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 on 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 righteousness shall not be abolished.
levate in caelum oculos vestros et videte sub terra deorsum quia caeli sicut fumus liquescent et terra sicut vestimentum adteretur et habitatores eius sicut haec interibunt salus autem mea in sempiternum erit et iustitia mea non deficiet
7 Listen to me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their revilings.
audite me qui scitis iustum populus lex mea in corde eorum nolite timere obprobrium 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 righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
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 ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it that has cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
consurge consurge induere fortitudinem brachium Domini consurge sicut in diebus antiquis in generationibus saeculorum numquid non tu percussisti superbum vulnerasti draconem
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
numquid non tu siccasti mare aquam abyssi vehementis qui posuisti profundum maris viam ut transirent liberati
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning 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 comforts you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
ego ego ipse consolabor vos quis tu ut timeres ab homine mortali et a filio hominis qui quasi faenum ita arescet
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were 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 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
cito veniet gradiens ad aperiendum et non interficiet usque ad internicionem nec deficiet panis eius
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: 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 your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are 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, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
elevare elevare consurge Hierusalem quae bibisti de manu Domini calicem irae eius usque ad fundum calicis soporis bibisti et epotasti usque ad feces
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has brought up.
non est qui sustentet eam ex omnibus filiis quos genuit et non est qui adprehendat manum eius ex omnibus filiis quos enutrivit
19 These two things are come to you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort you?
duo sunt quae occurrerunt tibi quis contristabitur super te vastitas et contritio et fames et gladius quis consolabitur te
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
filii tui proiecti sunt dormierunt in capite omnium viarum sicut bestia inlaqueata pleni indignatione Domini increpatione Dei tui
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
idcirco audi hoc paupercula et ebria non a vino
22 Thus says your Lord the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
haec dicit Dominator tuus Dominus et Deus tuus qui pugnavit pro populo suo ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis fundum calicis indignationis meae non adicies ut bibas illud ultra
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
et ponam illud in manu eorum qui te humiliaverunt et dixerunt animae tuae incurvare ut transeamus et posuisti ut terram corpus tuum et quasi viam transeuntibus
