Isaiæ 45
1 haec dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro cuius adprehendi dexteram ut subiciam ante faciem eius gentes et dorsa regum vertam et aperiam coram eo ianuas et portae non cludentur
Thus says Jehovah to his anointed, to Koresh, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 ego ante te ibo et gloriosos terrae humiliabo portas aereas conteram et vectes ferreos confringam
"I will go before you, and make the mountains level. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.
3 et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos et arcana secretorum ut scias quia ego Dominus qui voco nomen tuum Deus Israhel
I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Jehovah, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.
4 propter servum meum Iacob et Israhel electum meum et vocavi te in nomine tuo adsimilavi te et non cognovisti me
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 ego Dominus et non est amplius extra me non est deus accinxi te et non cognovisti me
I am Jehovah, and there is no other. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
6 ut sciant hii qui ab ortu solis et qui ab occidente quoniam absque me non est ego Dominus et non est alter
that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.
7 formans lucem et creans tenebras faciens pacem et creans malum ego Dominus faciens omnia haec
I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Jehovah, who does all these things.
8 rorate caeli desuper et nubes pluant iustum aperiatur terra et germinet salvatorem et iustitia oriatur simul ego Dominus creavi eum
Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Jehovah, have created it.
9 vae qui contradicit fictori suo testa de samiis terrae numquid dicet lutum figulo suo quid facis et opus tuum absque manibus est
Woe to him who strives with his Maker, a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth. Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'
10 vae qui dicit patri quid generas et mulieri quid parturis
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What have you become the father of?' or to a mother, 'To what have you given birth?'"
11 haec dicit Dominus Sanctus Israhel plastes eius ventura interrogate me super filios meos et super opus manuum mearum mandastis mihi
Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands.
12 ego feci terram et hominem super eam creavi ego manus meae tetenderunt caelos et omni militiae eorum mandavi
I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.
13 ego suscitavi eum ad iustitiam et omnes vias eius dirigam ipse aedificabit civitatem meam et captivitatem meam dimittet non in pretio neque in muneribus dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward," says Jehovah of hosts.
14 haec dicit Dominus labor Aegypti et negotiatio Aethiopiae et Sabaim viri sublimes ad te transibunt et tui erunt post te ambulabunt vincti manicis pergent et te adorabunt teque deprecabuntur tantum in te est Deus et non est absque te deus
Thus says Jehovah: "The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make petition to you: 'Surely God is in you; and there is no other. There is no other god.
15 vere tu es Deus absconditus Deus Israhel salvator
Most certainly you are a God who hid yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'"
16 confusi sunt et erubuerunt omnes simul abierunt in confusione fabricatores errorum
They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 Israhel salvatus est in Domino salute aeterna non confundemini et non erubescetis usque in saeculum saeculi
Israel will be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 quia haec dicit Dominus creans caelos ipse Deus formans terram et faciens eam ipse plastes eius non in vanum creavit eam ut habitetur formavit eam ego Dominus et non est alius
For thus says Jehovah who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: "I am Jehovah, and there is no other.
19 non in abscondito locutus sum in loco terrae tenebroso non dixi semini Iacob frustra quaerite me ego Dominus loquens iustitiam adnuntians recta
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I, Jehovah, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
20 congregamini et venite et accedite simul qui salvati estis ex gentibus nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturae suae et rogant deum non salvantem
Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can't save.
21 adnuntiate et venite et consiliamini simul quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio ex tunc praedixit illud numquid non ego Dominus et non est ultra Deus absque me Deus iustus et salvans non est praeter me
Declare and bring it forth. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who announced this from long ago, has told it from then? Was it not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is no one besides me.
22 convertimini ad me et salvi eritis omnes fines terrae quia ego Deus et non est alius
Look to me, and be saved, every part of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 in memet ipso iuravi egredietur de ore meo iustitiae verbum et non revertetur quia mihi curvabunt omnia genu et iurabit omnis lingua
By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear to God.
24 ergo in Domino dicet meae sunt iustitiae et imperium ad eum venient et confundentur omnes qui repugnant ei
Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.
25 in Domino iustificabitur et laudabitur omne semen Israhel
In Jehovah shall all the descendants of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
