Isaiah 65
1 “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant, invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me. dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego ad Gentem, quæ non invocabat nomen meum.
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper: qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres:
4 who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt: qui comedunt carnem suillam, et ius profanum in vasis eorum.
5 who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
Qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es: isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.
6 “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
Ecce scriptum est coram me: non tacebo, sed reddam et retribuam in sinum eorum
7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul, dicit Dominus, qui sacrificaverunt super montes, et super colles exprobraverunt mihi, et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.
8 Yahweh says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur: Ne dissipes illud, quoniam benedictio est: sic faciam propter servos meos, ut non disperdam totum.
9 I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
Et educam de Iacob semen, et de Iuda possidentem montes meos: et hereditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.
10 Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum populo meo qui requisierunt me.
11 “But you who forsake Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
Et vos, qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis Fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam.
12 I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
Numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in cæde corruetis: pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis: locutus sum, et non audistis: et faciebatis malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui, elegistis.
13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis: ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis:
14 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
Ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini: Ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis, et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis.
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
Et dimittetis nomen vestrum in iuramentum electis meis: et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio.
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
In quo qui benedictus est super terram, benedicetur in Deo amen: et qui iurat in terra, iurabit in Deo amen: quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores, et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.
17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam: et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
Sed gaudebitis et exultabitis usque in sempiternum in his, quæ ego creo: quia ecce ego creo Ierusalem exultationem, et populum eius gaudium.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
Et exultabo in Ierusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo: et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.
20 “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos: quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.
21 They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.
22 They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit: non plantabunt, et alius comedet: secundum enim dies ligni, erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt:
23 They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed and their descendants with them.
electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione: quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.
24 It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam: adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas: et serpenti pulvis panis eius: non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.
