Isaiæ 26
1 in die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Iuda urbs fortitudinis nostrae salvator ponetur in ea murus et antemurale
In that day this song is sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city, He makes salvation [for] walls and bulwark.
2 aperite portas et ingrediatur gens iusta custodiens veritatem
Open the gates, That a righteous nation may enter, Preserving steadfastness.
3 vetus error abiit servabis pacem pacem quia in te speravimus
You keep [him] in peace [whose] imagination [is] stayed—peace! For he is confident in You.
4 sperastis in Domino in saeculis aeternis in Domino Deo forti in perpetuum
Trust in YHWH forever, For in YAH—YHWH [is] a rock of ages,
5 quia incurvabit habitantes in excelso civitatem sublimem humiliabit humiliabit eam usque ad terram detrahet eam usque ad pulverem
For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He makes low, He makes it low to the earth, He causes it to come to the dust,
6 conculcabit eam pes pedes pauperis gressus egenorum
A foot treads it down, Feet of the poor—steps of the weak.
7 semita iusti recta est rectus callis iusti ad ambulandum
The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, You ponder the path of the righteous.
8 et in semita iudiciorum tuorum Domine sustinuimus te nomen tuum et memoriale tuum in desiderio animae
Also, [in] the path of Your judgments, O YHWH, we have waited [for] You, To Your Name and to Your remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.
9 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
I desired You in the night [with] my soul, Also, I seek You earnestly [with] my spirit within me, For when Your judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
10 misereamur impio et non discet iustitiam in terra sanctorum inique gessit et non videbit gloriam Domini
The wicked finds favor, He has not learned righteousness, He deals perversely in a land of straightforwardness, And does not see the excellence of YHWH.
11 Domine exaltetur manus tua et non videant videant et confundantur zelantes populi et ignis hostes tuos devoret
O YHWH, Your hand [is] high—they do not see, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire consumes Your adversaries.
12 Domine dabis pacem nobis omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis
O YHWH, You appoint peace to us, For You have also worked all our works for us.
13 Domine Deus noster possederunt nos domini absque te tantum in te recordemur nominis tui
O our God YHWH, lords have ruled us besides You, Only, by You we make mention of Your Name.
14 morientes non vivant gigantes non resurgant propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum
Dead—they do not live, Rephaim, they do not rise, Therefore You have inspected and destroy them, Indeed, you destroy all their memory.
15 indulsisti genti Domine indulsisti genti numquid glorificatus es elongasti omnes terminos terrae
You have added to the nation, O YHWH, You have added to the nation, You have been honored, You have put all the ends of the earth far off.
16 Domine in angustia requisierunt te in tribulatione murmuris doctrina tua eis
O YHWH, in distress they missed You, They have poured out a whisper, Your discipline [is] on them.
17 sicut quae concipit cum adpropinquaverit ad partum dolens clamat in doloribus suis sic facti sumus a facie tua Domine
When a pregnant woman comes near to the birth, She is pained—she cries in her pangs, So we have been from Your face, O YHWH.
18 concepimus et quasi parturivimus et peperimus spiritum salutes non fecimus in terra ideo non ceciderunt habitatores terrae
We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth, as it were, wind, We do not work salvation in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
19 vivent mortui tui interfecti mei resurgent expergiscimini et laudate qui habitatis in pulvere quia ros lucis ros tuus et terram gigantum detrahes in ruinam
Your dead live—My dead body, they rise. Awake and sing, you dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] your dew, And you cause the land of Rephaim to fall.
20 vade populus meus intra in cubicula tua claude ostia tua super te abscondere modicum ad momentum donec pertranseat indignatio
Come, My people, enter into your inner chambers, And shut your doors behind you, Hide yourself shortly [for] a moment until the indignation passes over.
21 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
For behold, YHWH is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth on him, And the earth has revealed her blood, Nor does she cover her slain anymore!”
