Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
audite hoc domus Iacob qui vocamini nomine Israhel et de aquis Iuda existis qui iuratis in nomine Domini et Dei Israhel recordamini non in veritate neque in iustitia
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
de civitate enim sancta vocati sunt et super Deum Israhel constabiliti sunt Dominus exercituum nomen eius
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
priora ex tunc adnuntiavi et ex ore meo exierunt et audita feci ea repente operatus sum et venerunt
4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
scivi enim quia durus es tu et nervus ferreus cervix tua et frons tua aerea
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I shewed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
praedixi tibi ex tunc antequam venirent indicavi tibi ne forte diceres idola mea fecerunt haec et sculptilia mea et conflatilia mandaverunt ista
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
quae audisti vide omnia vos autem non adnuntiastis audita feci tibi nova ex nunc et conservata quae nescis
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
nunc creata sunt et non ex tunc et ante diem et non audisti ea ne forte dicas ecce cognovi ea
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time [that] thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
neque audisti neque cognovisti neque ex tunc aperta est auris tua scio enim quia praevaricans praevaricabis et transgressorem ex ventre vocavi te
9 For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
propter nomen meum longe faciam furorem meum et laude mea infrenabo te ne intereas
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
ecce excoxi te sed non quasi argentum elegi te in camino paupertatis
11 For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do [it: ] for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
propter me propter me faciam ut non blasphemer et gloriam meam alteri non dabo
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
audi me Iacob et Israhel quem ego voco ego ipse ego primus et ego novissimus
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call unto them, they stand up together.
manus quoque mea fundavit terram et dextera mea mensa est caelos ego vocabo eos et stabunt simul
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
congregamini omnes vos et audite quis de eis adnuntiavit haec Dominus dilexit eum faciet voluntatem suam in Babylone et brachium suum in Chaldeis
15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
ego ego locutus sum et vocavi eum adduxi eum et directa est via eius
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
accedite ad me et audite hoc non a principio in abscondito locutus sum ex tempore antequam fieret ibi eram et nunc Dominus Deus misit me et spiritus eius
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldest go.
haec dicit Dominus redemptor tuus Sanctus Israhel ego Dominus Deus tuus docens te utilia gubernans te in via qua ambulas
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
utinam adtendisses mandata mea facta fuisset sicut flumen pax tua et iustitia tua sicut gurgites maris
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
et fuisset quasi harena semen tuum et stirps uteri tui ut lapilli eius non interisset et non fuisset adtritum nomen eius a facie mea
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
egredimini de Babylone fugite a Chaldeis in voce exultationis adnuntiate auditum facite hoc efferte illud usque ad extrema terrae dicite redemit Dominus servum suum Iacob
21 And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
non sitierunt in deserto cum educeret eos aquam de petra produxit eis et scidit petram et fluxerunt aquae
22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
non est pax dicit Dominus impiis
