Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build to me? and where is the place of my rest?
Hæc dicit Dominus: Cælum sedes mea, terra autem scabellum pedum meorum: quæ est ista Domus, quam ædificabitis mihi? et quis est iste locus quietis meæ?
2 For all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Omnia hæc manus mea fecit, et facta sunt universa ista, dicit Dominus. ad quem autem respiciam, nisi ad pauperculum, et contritum spiritu, et trementem sermones meos?
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
Qui immolat bovem, quasi qui interficiat virum: qui mactat pecus, quasi qui excerebret canem: qui offert oblationem, quasi qui sanguinem suillum offerat: qui recordatur thuris, quasi qui benedicat idolo. Hæc omnia elegerunt in viis suis, et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectata est.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Unde et ego eligam illusiones eorum: et quæ timebant, adducam eis: quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet: locutus sum, et non audierunt: feceruntque malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui elegerunt.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
Audite verbum Domini, qui tremitis ad verbum eius: dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos, et abiicientes propter nomen meum: glorificetur Dominus, et videbimus in lætitia vestra: ipsi autem confundentur.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Vox populi de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a son.
Antequam parturiret peperit: antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Quis audivit umquam tale? et quis vidit huic simile? numquid parturiet terra in die una? aut parietur gens simul, quia parturivit et peperit Sion filios suos?
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
Numquid ego, qui alios parere facio, ipse non pariam, dicit Dominus? si ego, qui generationem ceteris tribuo, sterilis ero, ait Dominus Deus tuus?
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
Lætamini cum Ierusalem, et exultate in ea, omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum ea gaudio universi, qui lugetis super eam
11 That ye may nurse, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
ut sugatis, et repleamini ab ubere consolationis eius: ut mulgeatis, et deliciis affluatis ab omnimoda gloria eius.
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye be nursed, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego declinabo super eam quasi fluvium pacis, et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam Gentium, quam sugetis: ad ubera portabimini, et super genua blandientur vobis.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Quomodo si cui mater blandiatur, ita ego consolabor vos, et in Ierusalem consolabimini.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt, et cognoscetur manus Domini servis eius, et indignabitur inimicis suis.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, et quasi turbo quadrigæ eius: reddere in indignatione furorem suum, et increpationem suam in flamma ignis:
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit, et in gladio suo ad omnem carnem, et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino,
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
qui sanctificabantur, et mundos se putabant in hortis post ianuam intrinsecus, qui comedebant carnem suillam, et abominationem et murem: simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Ego autem opera eorum, et cogitationes eorum: venio ut congregem cum omnibus gentibus et linguis: et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Et ponam in eis signum, et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad Gentes in mare, in Africam, et Lydiam tendentes sagittam: in Italiam et Græciam, ad insulas longe, ad eos, qui non audierunt de me, et non viderunt gloriam meam. Et annunciabunt gloriam meam Gentibus,
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
et adducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis Gentibus donum Domino in equis, et in quadrigis, et in lecticis, et in mulis, et in carrucis, ad montem sanctum meum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus, quomodo si inferant filii Israel munus in vase mundo in domum Domini.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes, et levitas, dicit Dominus:
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Quia sicut cæli novi, et terra nova, quæ ego facio stare coram me, dicit Dominus: sic stabit semen vestrum, et nomen vestrum.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Et erit mensis ex mense, et sabbatum ex sabbato: veniet omnis caro ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
Et egredientur, et videbunt cadavera virorum, qui prævaricati sunt in me: vermis eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non extinguetur: et erunt usque ad satietatem visionis omni carni.
