Isaiah 65
1 “I have been inquired of by those who did not ask, I have been found by those who did not seek Me, I have said, Behold Me, behold Me, To a nation not calling on My Name.
Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant, invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me. Dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego ad gentem, quæ non invocabat nomen meum.
2 I have spread out My hands all the day To an apostate people, Who are going in the way [that is] not good, After their own thoughts.
Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.
3 The people who are continually provoking Me to anger, To My face, Sacrificing in gardens, and making incense on the bricks:
Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper: qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres:
4 Who are dwelling among tombs, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominations—their vessels.
qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt: qui comedunt carnem suillam, et ius profanum in vasis eorum.
5 Who are saying, Keep to yourself, do not come near to me, For I have declared you unholy. These [are] smoke in My anger, A fire burning all the day.
Qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es: isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.
6 Behold, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but have repaid; And I have repaid into their bosom,
Ecce scriptum est coram me: non tacebo, sed reddam et retribuam in sinum eorum
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “Who have made incense on the mountains, And have reproached Me on the heights, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.”
iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul, dicit Dominus, qui sacrificaverunt super montes, et super colles exprobraverunt mihi, et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.
8 Thus said YHWH: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one has said, Do not destroy it for a blessing [is] in it, So I do for My servants’ sake, Not to destroy the whole.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur: Ne dissipes illud, quoniam benedictio est: sic faciam propter servos meos, ut non disperdam totum.
9 And I have brought out a Seed from Jacob, And from Judah a Possessor of My mountain, And My chosen ones possess it, And My servants dwell there.
Et educam de Iacob semen, et de Iuda possidentem montes meos: et hereditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.
10 And Sharon has been for the habitation of a flock, And the Valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.
Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum populo meo qui requisierunt me.
11 And you [are] those forsaking YHWH, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting a table in array for Gad, And who are filling a mixture for Meni.
Et vos, qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis Fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam.
12 And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you bow down for slaughter, Because I called, and you have not answered, I have spoken, and you have not listened, And you do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
Numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in cæde corruetis: pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis: locutus sum, et non audistis: et faciebatis malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui, elegistis.
13 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants eat, and you hunger, Behold, My servants drink, and you thirst, Behold, My servants rejoice, and you are ashamed,
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis: ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis:
14 Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, And you cry from pain of heart, And you howl from breaking of spirit.
Ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini: Ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis, et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis.
15 And you have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And Lord YHWH has put you to death, And He gives another name to His servants;
Et dimittetis nomen vestrum in iuramentum electis meis: et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio.
16 So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Swears by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from My eyes.
In quo qui benedictus est super terram, benedicetur in Deo, Amen: et qui iurat in terra, iurabit in Deo, Amen: quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores, et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.
17 For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam: et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.
18 But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
Sed gaudebitis et exultabitis usque in sempiternum in his, quæ ego creo: quia ecce ego creo Ierusalem exultationem, et populum eius gaudium.
19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have rejoiced in My people, And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
Et exultabo in Ierusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo: et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.
20 There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, And an aged man who does not complete his days, For the youth dies one hundred years old, And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos: quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.
21 And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.
22 They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And My chosen wear out the work of their hands.
Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit: non plantabunt, et alius comedet: secundum enim dies ligni, erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt:
23 They do not labor for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, And their offspring with them.
electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione: quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.
24 And it has come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam: adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.
25 Wolf and lamb feed as one, And a lion eats straw as an ox, As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas: et serpenti pulvis panis eius: non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.
