Isaiah 48
1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
Audite hæc, domus Jacob, qui vocamini nomine Israël, et de aquis Juda existis; qui juratis in nomine Domini, et Dei Israël recordamini non in veritate neque in justitia.
2 For they have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
De civitate enim sancta vocati sunt, et super Deum Israël constabiliti sunt: Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
3 I declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
Priora ex tunc annuntiavi, et ex ore meo exierunt, et audita feci ea: repente operatus sum, et venerunt.
4 From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
Scivi enim quia durus es tu, et nervus ferreus cervix tua, et frons tua ærea.
5 And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image commanded them.
Prædixi tibi ex tunc; antequam venirent, indicavi tibi, ne forte diceres: Idola mea fecerunt hæc, et sculptilia mea et conflatilia mandaverunt ista.
6 You have heard, see the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
Quæ audisti, vide omnia; vos autem, num annuntiastis? Audita feci tibi nova ex tunc, et conservata sunt quæ nescis.
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known them.
Nunc creata sunt et non ex tunc; et ante diem, et non audisti ea, ne forte dicas: Ecce ego cognovi ea.
8 Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
Neque audisti, neque cognovisti, neque ex tunc aperta est auris tua: scio enim quia prævaricans prævaricaberis, et transgressorem ex utero vocavi te.
9 I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
Propter nomen meum longe faciam furorem meum, et laude mea infrenabo te, ne intereas.
10 Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
Ecce excoxi te, sed non quasi argentum; elegi te in camino paupertatis.
11 For My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do not give My glory to another.
Propter me, propter me faciam, ut non blasphemer; et gloriam meam alteri non dabo.
12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
Audi me, Jacob, et Israël, quem ego voco: ego ipse, ego primus, et ego novissimus.
13 Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
Manus quoque mea fundavit terram, et dextera mea mensa est cælos; ego vocabo eos, et stabunt simul.
14 Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
Congregamini, omnes vos, et audite: quis de eis annuntiavit hæc? Dominus dilexit eum, faciet voluntatem suam in Babylone, et brachium suum in Chaldæis.
15 I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
Ego, ego locutus sum, et vocavi eum; adduxi eum, et directa est via ejus.
16 Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
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 ejus.
17 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you go.
Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor tuus, Sanctus Israël: Ego Dominus Deus tuus, docens te utilia, gubernans te in via qua ambulas.
18 O that you had attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows of the sea,
Utinam attendisses mandata mea: facta fuisset sicut flumen pax tua, et justitia tua sicut gurgites maris:
19 And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed before Me.”
et fuisset quasi arena semen tuum, et stirps uteri tui ut lapilli ejus; non interisset et non fuisset attritum nomen ejus a facie mea.
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
Egredimini de Babylone, fugite a Chaldæis, in voce exsultationis annuntiate: auditum facite hoc, et efferte illud usque ad extrema terræ. Dicite: Redemit Dominus servum suum Jacob.
21 And they have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
Non sitierunt in deserto, cum educeret eos: aquam de petra produxit eis, et scidit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ.
22 “There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus.
