64 — Isaias

1O that thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence.Se tu squarciassi i cieli, e scendessi! al tuo cospetto si liquefarebbero i monti.VVOVLD God thou wouldest breake the heauens in sunder, and wouldst descend: at thy presence the mountaines should melt away.Utinam dirumperes cælos, et descenderes; / a facie tua montes defluerent; 2They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence.Si consumerebbero come in una fornace di fuoco, le acque prenderebbero l'ardore del fuoco, affinchè si rendesse manifesto il tuo nome a' tuoi nemici; e dinanzi a te si turbassero le nazioni.As the burning of fyre would they melt, the waters would burne with fyre, that thy name might be made knowen to thine enemies: at thy presence the nations should be trubled.sicut exustio ignis tabescerent, / aquæ arderent igni: / ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis; / a facie tua gentes turbarentur. 3When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away.Allorché avrai fatto queste cose ammirabili, noi non le sosterremo: tu se' disceso, e dinanzi a te i monti si non disciolti.When thou shalt doe meruelous thinges, we shal not sustayne: thou art descended, and at thy presence the mountaines are melted.Cum feceris mirabilia, non sustinebimus; / descendisti, et a facie tua montes defluxerunt. 4From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.Pe' secoli indietro nissuno seppe, né orecchia udì, né occhio vide, o Dio, eccetto te, quel, che tu hai preparato per coloro, che ti aspettano.From the begynning of the world they haue not heard, nor receiued with the eares: the eie hath not seene ô God beside thee, what thinges thou hast prepared for them that expect thee.A sæculo non audierunt, neque auribus perceperunt; / oculus non vidit, Deus, absque te, / quæ præparasti exspectantibus te. 5Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved.Tu vai incontro a quelli, che si rallegrano in te, e praticano la giustizia: nelle tue vie si ricorderanno di te secco, che tu se' irato, e noi abbiam peccato: in peccato fummo noi sempre, e saremo salvati.Thou hast mette him that reioyceth, and doth iustice: in thy waies they shal remember thee: behold thou art angrie, and we haue sinned: we haue bene alwayes in them, and we shal be saued.Occurristi lætanti, et facienti justitiam; / in viis tuis recordabuntur tui. / Ecce tu iratus es, et peccavimus; / in ipsis fuimus semper, et salvabimur.

6And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.Siam diventati tutti noi come un immondo, e quasi sucido panno sono tutte le nostre giustificazioni: siamo caduti tutti come foglie, e le nostre iniquità sono state come il vento, che ci ha dispersi.And al we are become as one vncleane, and al our iustices as the cloth of a menstrued woman: and we haue al fallen as a leafe, and our iniquities as the winde haue taken vs away.Et facti sumus ut immundus omnes nos, / et quasi pannus menstruatæ universæ justitiæ nostræ; / et cecidimus quasi folium universi, / et iniquitates nostræ quasi ventus abstulerunt nos. 7There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity.Non è chi invochi il tuo nome, chi si alzi, e ti rattenga: tu hai nascosa a noi la tua faccia, e ci hai schiacciati sotto la nostra iniquità.There is none that inuocateth thy name: that ryseth vp, and holdeth thee: thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast dashed vs in the hand of our iniquitie.Non est qui invocet nomen tuum; / qui consurgat, et teneat te. / Abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis, / et allisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostræ. 8And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands.E adesso, o Signore, tu se' il Padre nostro, e noi fango; e facitore nostro se' tu, e tutti noi opere delle tue mani.And now Lord thou art our father, and we clay: and thou art our maker, and al we the workes of thy handes.Et nunc, Domine, pater noster es tu, / nos vero lutum; / et fictor noster tu, / et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos. 9Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people.Non adirarti troppo, o Signore, e non voler più ricordarti della nostra iniquità; ecco, rimiraci, tuo popolo (siam) tutti noi.Be not angrie ô Lord ynough, and remember no more our iniquitie: loe regard, al we are thy people.Ne irascaris, Domine, satis, / et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis nostræ; / ecce, respice, populus tuus omnes nos. 10The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate.La città del tuo santuario è diventata deserta, Sionne è diventata deserta, Gerusalemme è desolata.The citie of thy holie one is made desert, Sion is made desert, Ierusalem is become desolate.Civitas Sancti tui facta est deserta, / Sion deserta facta est, / Jerusalem desolata est.

11The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins.La casa della nostra santificazione, e della nostra gloria, dove le tue lodi cantarono i padri nostri, è stata consumata dal fuoco, e tutte le nostre grandezze son cangiate in rovine.The house of our sanctification, and of our glorie, where our fathers praysed thee, is turned into the burning of fyre, and al our thinges worthie to be desired are turned into ruines.Domus sanctificationis nostræ et gloriæ nostræ, / ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri, / facta est in exustionem ignis, / et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas. 12Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently?A tali cose ti ratterrai tu forse, o Signore, e starai in silenzio, e ci affliggerai for misura?Wilt thou vpon these thinges conteyne thyself ô Lord, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict vs vehemently?Numquid super his continebis te, Domine; / tacebis, et affliges nos vehementer ?
