Isaiah 1
1 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.
audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me
3 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit
4 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum
5 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostasy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens
6 From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
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 land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!
terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili
8 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.
et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur
9 Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,
audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae
11 'Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.
quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui
12 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?
cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis
13 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!
ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri
14 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens
15 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt
16 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse
17 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam
18 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!
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 ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,
si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis
20 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est
21 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.
quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae
22 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua
23 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not 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 affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,
propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis
25 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,
et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum
26 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, 'A city of righteousness — a faithful city.'
et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis
27 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia
28 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.
et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur
29 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.
confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis
30 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.
cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua
31 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
