Isaiah 66
1 Thus says the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that all of you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Haec dicit Dominus: Caelum sedes mea, terra autem scabellum pedum meorum: quae est ista Domus, quam aedificabitis mihi? et quis est iste locus quietis meae?
2 For all those things has mine hand made, and all those things have been, says the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
Omnia haec manus mea fecit, et facta sunt universa ista, dicit Dominus. ad quem autem respiciam, nisi ad pauperculum, contritum spiritu, et trementem sermones meos?
3 He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
Qui immolat bovem, quasi qui interficiat virum: qui mactat pecus, quasi qui excerebret canem: qui offert oblationem, quasi qui sanguinem suillum offerat: qui recordatur thuris, quasi qui benedicat idolo. Haec omnia elegerunt in viis suis, et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectata est.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Unde et ego eligam illusiones eorum: et quae timebant, adducam eis: quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet: locutus sum, et non audierunt: feceruntque malum in oculis meis, et quae nolui elegerunt.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, all of you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
Audite verbum Domini, qui tremitis ad verbum eius: dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos, et abiicientes propter nomen meum: glorificetur Dominus, et videbimus in laetitia vestra: ipsi autem confundentur.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompence to his enemies.
Vox populi de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.
Antequam parturiret peperit: antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.
8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Quis audivit umquam tale? et quis vidit huic simile? numquid parturiet terra in die una? aut parietur gens simul, quia parturivit et peperit Sion filios suos?
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.
Numquid ego, qui alios parere facio, ipse non pariam, dicit Dominus? si ego, qui generationem ceteris tribuo, sterilis ero, ait Dominus Deus tuus?
10 Rejoice all of you with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her:
Laetamini cum Ierusalem, et exultate in ea, omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum ea gaudio universi, qui lugetis super eam
11 That all of you may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that all of you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
ut sugatis, et repleamini ab ubere consolationis eius: ut mulgeatis, et deliciis affluatis ab omnimoda gloria eius.
12 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall all of you suck, all of you shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego declinabo super eam quasi fluvium pacis, et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam Gentium, quam sugetis: ad ubera portabimini, et super genua blandientur vobis.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and all of you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Quomodo si cui mater blandiatur, ita ego consolabor vos, et in Ierusalem consolabimini.
14 And when all of you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt, et cognoscetur manus Domini servis eius, et indignabitur inimicis suis.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, et quasi turbo quadrigae eius: reddere in indignatione furorem suum, et increpationem suam in flamma ignis:
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit, et in gladio suo ad omnem carnem, et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino,
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the LORD.
qui sanctificabantur, et mundos se putabant in hortis post ianuam intrinsecus, qui comedebant carnem suillam, et abominationem et murem: simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Ego autem opera eorum, et cogitationes eorum: venio ut congregem cum omnibus gentibus et linguis: et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles far off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Et ponam in eis signum, et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad Gentes in mare, in Africam, et Lydiam tendentes sagittam: in Italiam et Graeciam, ad insulas longe, ad eos, qui non audierunt de me, et non viderunt gloriam meam. Et annunciabunt gloriam meam Gentibus,
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
et adducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis Gentibus donum Domino in equis, et in quadrigis, et in lecticis, et in mulis, et in carrucis, ad montem sanctum meum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus, quomodo si inferant filii Israel munus in vase mundo in domum Domini.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, says the LORD.
Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes, et levitas, dicit Dominus:
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Quia sicut caeli novi, et terra nova, quae ego facio stare coram me, dicit Dominus: sic stabit semen vestrum, et nomen vestrum.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the LORD.
Et erit mensis ex mense, et sabbatum ex sabbato: veniet omnis caro ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Et egredientur, et videbunt cadavera virorum, qui praevaricati sunt in me: vermis eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non extinguetur: et erunt usque ad satietatem visionis omni carni.
