Old Testament
Isaiah
Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant; invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me. Dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego, ad gentem quæ non invocabat nomen meum.
They have sought me that before asked not for me, they have found me that sought me not. I said: Behold me, behold me, to a nation that did not call upon my name.
Quaere me qui ante non interroga; inveni qui non quaere me. Fixe: ecce me, ecce me, ad gente que non invoca nomine meo.
Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.
I have spread forth my hands all the day to an unbelieving people, who walk in a way that is not good after their own thoughts.
Expande manus meo toto die ad populo incredulus, qui grada in via non bono post cogitationes suo.
Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper; qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres;
A people that continually provoke me to anger before my face, that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice upon bricks.
Populo qui ad iracundia provoca me ante facie meo semper; qui immola in hortos, et sacrifica super lateres;
qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt; qui comedunt carnem suillam, et jus profanum in vasis eorum;
That dwell in sepulchres, and sleep in the temple of idols: that eat swine's flesh, and profane broth is in their vessels.
Qui habita in sepulchros, et in delubras de idolos dormi; qui comede carne suilla, et iure profano in vases de illos;
qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es. Isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.
That say: Depart from me, come not near me, because thou art unclean: these shall be smoke in my anger, a fire burning all the day.
Qui dic: recede ab me, non appropinqua ad me, quia immundo es. Isto fumo es in furore meo, igni arde toto die.
Ecce scriptum est coram me: Non tacebo, sed reddam, et retribuam in sinum eorum.
Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.
Ecce scripto es coram me: non tace, sed redde, et retribue in sinu de illos.
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.
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have sacrificed upon the mountains, and have reproached me upon the hills; and I will measure back their first work in their bosom.
Iniquitates vestro, et iniquitates de patres vestro simul, dic Domino; qui sacrifica super montes, et super colles exprobra ad me; et remetior opere de illos primo in sinu de illos.
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.
Thus saith the Lord: As if a grain be found in a cluster, and it be said: Destroy it not, because it is a blessing: so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I may not destroy the whole.
Domino dic hoc: quomodo si grano inveni in botro, et dic: ne dissipa illo, quia benedictione es: sic fac propter servos meo, ut non disperde toto.
Et educam de Jacob semen, et de Juda possidentem montes meos; et hæreditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Juda a possessor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Et educe de Iacobo semine, et de Iuda posside montes meo; et haeredita illa elige meo, et servos meo habita ibi.
Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum, populo meo qui requisierunt me.
And the plains shall be turned to folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor into a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
Et es campestre in caulas de greges, et de valle Achore in cubili de armentos, ad populo meo qui require me.
Et vos qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam:
And you, that have forsaken the Lord, that have forgotten my holy mount, that set a table for fortune, and offer libations upon it,
Et vos qui derelinque Domino, qui obliviscor es monte sancto meo, qui pone de fortuna mensa, et liba super illa:
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.
I will number you in the sword, and you shall all fall by slaughter: because I called and you did not answer: I spoke, and you did not hear: and you did evil in my eyes, and you have chosen the things that displease me.
Numera vos in gladio, et omni in caede corrue: pro eo quod voca, et non responde; locuto es, et non audi; et fac malo in oculos meo, et que ne vol elige.
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis; ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis;
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my servants shall eat, and you shall be hungry: behold my servants shall drink, and you shall be thirsty.
Propter hoc Domino Deo dic hoc: ecce servos meo comede, et vos esuri; ecce servos meo bibe, et vos sitie;
ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini; ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exsultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis, et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis,
Behold my servants shall rejoice, and you shall be confounded: behold my servants shall praise for joyfulness of heart, and you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for grief of spirit.
Ecce servos meo laetor, et vos confunde; ecce servos meo lauda prae exsultatione de corde, et vos clama prae dolore de corde, et prae contritione de spiritu ululor,
et dimittetis nomen vestrum in juramentum electis meis; et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio:
And you shall leave your name for an execration to my elect: and the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.
Et dimitte nomine vestro in iuramento elige meo; et Domino Deo interfice te, et servos suo voca nomine alio:
in quo qui benedictus est super terram benedicetur in Deo, amen, et qui jurat in terra jurabit in Deo, amen: quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores, et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.
In which he that is blessed upon the earth, shall be blessed in God, amen: and he that sweareth in the earth, shall swear by God, amen: because the former distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.
In quo qui benedicto es super terra benedic in Deo, amen, et qui iura in terra iura in Deo, amen: quia ad oblivione trade es angustias priore, et quia absconde es ab oculos meo.
Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam; et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.
For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former things shall not be in remembrance, and they shall not come upon the heart.
Ecce nam me crea caelos novo, et terra novo; et non es in memoria priore, et non ascende super corde.
Sed gaudebitis et exsultabitis usque in sempiternum in his quæ ego creo: quia ecce ego creo Jerusalem exsultationem, et populum ejus gaudium.
But you shall be glad and rejoice for ever in these things, which I create: for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and the people thereof joy.
Sed gaude et exsulta usque in sempiterno in hoc me crea que: quia ecce me crea Ierusalem exsultatione, et populo de illo gaudio.
Et exsultabo in Jerusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo, et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Et exsulta in Ierusalem, et gaude in populo meo, et non voce in eo ultra fletu et voce de clamore audi.
Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos, quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.
There shall no more be an infant of days there, nor an old man that shall not fill up his days: for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
Non es ibi ample infante de dies, et sene qui non imple dies suo, quia puero cento de annos more, et peccatore cento de annos maledice es.
Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt; et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them.
Et aedifica domos, et habita; et planta vineas, et comede fructus de illas.
Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit; non plantabunt, et alius comedet: secundum enim dies ligni erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt.
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of my people, and the works of their hands shall be of long continuance.
Non aedifica, et alio habita; non planta, et alio comede: secundo nam dies de ligno es dies de populo meo, et operes de manus de illos invetera.
Electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione, quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.
My elect shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth in trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity with them.
Elige meo non labora frustra, neque genera in conturbatione, quia semine benedic de Domino es, et nepotes de illos cum illos.
Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam; adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Et es antequam clame, me exaudi; adhuc ad illos loque, me audi.
Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas, et serpenti pulvis panis ejus. Non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together; the lion and the ox shall eat straw; and dust shall be the serpent's food: they shall not hurt nor kill in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
Lupo et agno pasce simul, leone et bove comede paleas, et ad serpente pulvo de pane de illo. Non noce, neque occide in omni monte sancto meo, Domino dic.
