< 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.
quaesierunt me qui ante non interrogabant invenerunt qui non quaesierunt me dixi ecce ego ecce ego ad gentem quae non vocabat 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 adpropinques mihi quia inmundus 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 sinu 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.
haec 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 Fortunae 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 caede corruetis pro eo quod vocavi et non respondistis locutus sum et non audistis et faciebatis malum in oculis meis et quae 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 haec 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 laetabuntur et vos confundemini ecce servi mei laudabunt prae exultatione cordis et vos clamabitis prae dolore cordis et prae 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 traditae sunt angustiae priores et quia absconditae sunt ab oculis nostris
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 caelos 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 quae ego creo quia ecce ego creo Hierusalem 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 Hierusalem 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 aedificabunt domos et habitabunt et plantabunt vineas et comedent fructum 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 aedificabunt et alius habitabit non plantabunt et alius comedet secundum dies enim 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.
electis meis 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 et leo et bos comedent paleas et serpenti pulvis panis eius non nocebunt neque occident in omni monte sancto meo dicit Dominus
