Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
Lauda sterilis quæ non paris: decanta laudem, et hinni quæ non pariebas: quoniam multi filii desertæ magis quam eius, quæ habet virum, dicit Dominus.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, Do not restrain—lengthen your cords, And make your pins strong.
Dilata locum tentorii tui, et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende, ne parcas: longos fac funiculos tuos, et clavos tuos consolida.
3 For you break forth right and left, And nations possess your seed,
Ad dexteram enim, et ad lævam penetrabis: et semen tuum Gentes hereditabit, et civitates desertas inhabitabit.
4 And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, Nor blush, for you are not confounded, For you forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood You do not remember anymore.
Noli timere quia non confunderis, neque erubesces: non enim te pudebit, quia confusionis adolescentiæ tuæ oblivisceris, et opprobrii viduitatis tuæ non recordaberis amplius.
5 For your Maker [is] your husband, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, He is called God of all the earth.
Quia dominabitur tui qui fecit te, Dominus exercituum nomen eius: et redemptor tuus sanctus Israel, Deus omnis terræ vocabitur.
6 For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, YHWH has called you, Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
Quia et mulierem derelictam et mœrentem spiritu vocavit te Dominus, et uxorem ab adolescentia abiectam, dixit Deus tuus.
7 “In a small moment I have forsaken you, And in great mercies I gather you,
Ad punctum in modico dereliqui te, et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, Said your Redeemer—YHWH!
In momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te, et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui: dixit redemptor tuus Dominus.
9 For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, Wrath is not on you, Nor rebuke against you.
Sicut in diebus Noe istud mihi est, cui iuravi ne inducerem aquas Noe ultra super terram: sic iuravi ut non irascar tibi, et non increpem te.
10 For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness does not depart from you, And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” Says YHWH, your loving one.
Montes enim commovebuntur, et colles contremiscent: misericordia autem mea non recedet a te, et fœdus pacis meæ non movebitur: dixit miserator tuus Dominus.
11 “O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, And have founded you with sapphires,
Paupercula tempestate convulsa, absque ulla consolatione. Ecce ego sternam per ordinem lapides tuos, et fundabo te in sapphiris,
12 And have made your pinnacles of agate, And your gates of carbuncle stones, And all your border of stones of delight,
et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua: et portas tuas in lapides sculptos, et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles.
13 And all your sons are taught of YHWH, And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
Universos filios tuos doctos a Domino: et multitudinem pacis filiis tuis.
14 You establish yourself in righteousness, Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
Et in iustitia fundaberis: recede procul a calumnia, quia non timebis: et a pavore, quia non appropinquabit tibi.
15 Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
Ecce accola veniet, qui non erat mecum, advena quondam tuus adiungetur tibi.
16 Behold, I have created an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have created a destroyer to destroy.
Ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas, et proferentem vas in opus suum, et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum.
17 No weapon formed against you prospers, And every tongue rising against you, You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
Omne vas, quod fictum est contra te, non dirigetur: et omnem linguam resistentem tibi in iudicio, iudicabis. Hæc est hereditas servorum Domini, et iustitia eorum apud me, dicit Dominus.
