Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda
2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for the LORD has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel doesn't know, my people do not understand.
cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit
4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken the LORD. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum
5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
a planta pedis usque ad verticem non est in eo sanitas vulnus et livor et plaga tumens non est circumligata nec curata medicamine neque fota oleo
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of cucumbers, like a besieged city.
et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur
9 Unless the LORD of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have been as Sodom, and we would have been like Gomorrah.
nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus
10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom. Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae
11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says the LORD. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis
13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.
ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens
15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt
16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."
discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam
18 "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
et venite et arguite me dicit Dominus si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum quasi nix dealbabuntur et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus velut lana erunt
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis
20 but if you refuse and rebel, the sword shall devour you; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it."
quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute. She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua
23 Your rulers are rebellious, companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, chasing after payoffs. They do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
principes tui infideles socii furum omnes diligunt munera sequuntur retributiones pupillo non iudicant et causa viduae non ingreditur ad eos
24 Therefore the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies;
propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis
25 and I will turn my hand against you, and I will purge away your dross, and I will take away all your slag.
et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum
26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, a faithful town.'
et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua
31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them."
et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
