Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one, in him I take delight. I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring justice to the nations.
ecce servus meus suscipiam eum electus meus conplacuit sibi in illo anima mea dedi spiritum meum super eum iudicium gentibus proferet
2 He will not cry out nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the streets.
non clamabit neque accipiet personam nec audietur foris vox eius
3 A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench: he will faithfully execute justice.
calamum quassatum non conteret et linum fumigans non extinguet in veritate educet iudicium
4 He will not grow faint nor be discouraged until he has established justice on the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
non erit tristis neque turbulentus donec ponat in terra iudicium et legem eius insulae expectabunt
5 This is what God Yahweh says— the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, the one who made the earth and all that it produces, the one who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who live on it:
haec dicit Dominus Deus creans caelos et extendens eos firmans terram et quae germinant ex ea dans flatum populo qui est super eam et spiritum calcantibus eam
6 “I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand. I will keep you and set you as a covenant for the people, as a light for the Gentiles,
ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia et adprehendi manum tuam et servavi et dedi te in foedus populi in lucem gentium
7 to open the eyes of the blind, to release the prisoners from the dungeon, and from the house of confinement those who sit in darkness.
ut aperires oculos caecorum et educeres de conclusione vinctum de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris
8 I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory I will not share with another nor my praise with carved idols.
ego Dominus hoc est nomen meum gloriam meam alteri non dabo et laudem meam sculptilibus
9 See, the previous things came to pass, now I am about to declare new events. Before they begin to occur I will tell you about them.”
quae prima fuerant ecce venerunt nova quoque ego adnuntio antequam oriantur audita vobis faciam
10 Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the coastlands, and those who live there.
cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius ab extremis terrae qui descenditis in mare et plenitudo eius insulae et habitatores earum
11 Let the desert and the cities cry out, the villages where Kedar lives, shout for joy! Let the inhabitants of Sela sing; let them shout from the mountaintops.
sublevetur desertum et civitates eius in domibus habitabit Cedar laudate habitatores Petrae de vertice montium clamabunt
12 Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands.
ponent Domino gloriam et laudem eius in insulis nuntiabunt
13 Yahweh will go out as a warrior; as a man of war he will stir up his zeal. He will shout, yes, he will roar his battle cries; he will show his enemies his power.
Dominus sicut fortis egredietur sicut vir proeliator suscitabit zelum vociferabitur et clamabit super inimicos suos confortabitur
14 I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.
tacui semper silui patiens fui sicut pariens loquar dissipabo et absorbebo simul
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; and I will turn the rivers into islands and will dry up the marshes.
desertos faciam montes et colles et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo et ponam flumina in insulas et stagna arefaciam
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know; in paths that they do not know I will lead them. I will turn the darkness into light before them, and make the crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not abandon them.
et ducam caecos in via quam nesciunt in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem et prava in recta haec verba feci eis et non dereliqui eos
17 They will be turned back, they will be completely put to shame, those who trust in carved figures, who say to cast metal figures, “You are our gods.”
conversi sunt retrorsum confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili qui dicunt conflatili vos dii nostri
18 Listen, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
surdi audite et caeci intuemini ad videndum
19 Who is blind but my servant? Or deaf like my messenger I send? Who is as blind as my covenant partner, or blind as Yahweh's servant?
quis caecus nisi servus meus et surdus nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi quis caecus nisi qui venundatus est quis caecus nisi servus Domini
20 You see many things, but do not comprehend; ears are open, but no one hears.
qui vides multa nonne custodies qui apertas habes aures nonne audies
21 It pleased Yahweh to praise his justice and to make his law glorious.
et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum et magnificaret legem et extolleret
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all trapped in pits, held captive in prisons; they have become a plunder with no one to rescue them, and no one says, “Bring them back!”
ipse autem populus direptus et vastatus laqueus iuvenum omnes et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt facti sunt in rapinam nec est qui eruat in direptionem et non est qui dicat redde
23 Who among you will listen to this? Who will listen and hear in the future?
quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc adtendat et auscultet futura
24 Who gave Jacob over to the robber, and Israel to the looters? Was it not Yahweh, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they refused to walk, and whose law they refused to obey?
quis dedit in direptionem Iacob et Israhel vastantibus nonne Dominus ipse cui peccavimus et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare et non audierunt legem eius
25 Therefore he poured out on them his fierce anger and the violence of war, Its flames encircled them, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.
et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui et forte bellum et conbusit eum in circuitu et non cognovit et succendit eum et non intellexit
