Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
in die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Iuda urbs fortitudinis nostrae salvator ponetur in ea murus et antemurale
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.
aperite portas et ingrediatur gens iusta custodiens veritatem
3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
vetus error abiit servabis pacem pacem quia in te speravimus
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock.
sperastis in Domino in saeculis aeternis in Domino Deo forti in perpetuum
5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
quia incurvabit habitantes in excelso civitatem sublimem humiliabit humiliabit eam usque ad terram detrahet eam usque ad pulverem
6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
conculcabit eam pes pedes pauperis gressus egenorum
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just.
semita iusti recta est rectus callis iusti ad ambulandum
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
et in semita iudiciorum tuorum Domine sustinuimus te nomen tuum et memoriale tuum in desiderio animae
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
anima mea desideravit te in nocte sed et spiritu meo in praecordiis meis de mane vigilabo ad te cum feceris iudicia tua in terra iustitiam discent habitatores orbis
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
misereamur impio et non discet iustitiam in terra sanctorum inique gessit et non videbit gloriam Domini
11 LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be ashamed; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
Domine exaltetur manus tua et non videant videant et confundantur zelantes populi et ignis hostes tuos devoret
12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
Domine dabis pacem nobis omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis
13 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
Domine Deus noster possederunt nos domini absque te tantum in te recordemur nominis tui
14 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
morientes non vivant gigantes non resurgant propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
indulsisti genti Domine indulsisti genti numquid glorificatus es elongasti omnes terminos terrae
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them.
Domine in angustia requisierunt te in tribulatione murmuris doctrina tua eis
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, O LORD.
sicut quae concipit cum adpropinquaverit ad partum dolens clamat in doloribus suis sic facti sumus a facie tua Domine
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
concepimus et quasi parturivimus et peperimus spiritum salutes non fecimus in terra ideo non ceciderunt habitatores terrae
19 Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
vivent mortui tui interfecti mei resurgent expergiscimini et laudate qui habitatis in pulvere quia ros lucis ros tuus et terram gigantum detrahes in ruinam
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
vade populus meus intra in cubicula tua claude ostia tua super te abscondere modicum ad momentum donec pertranseat indignatio
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
ecce enim Dominus egreditur de loco suo ut visitet iniquitatem habitatoris terrae contra eum et revelabit terra sanguinem suum et non operiet ultra interfectos suos
