65 — Isaias

1They 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.Hanno cercato di me quelli, che prima non domandavan di me: mi han trovato quelli, che non mi cercavano. Ho detto; Eccomi, eccomi ad una nazione, che non invocava il mio nome.THEY haue sought me that before asked not, they haue found that sought me not. I said: Behold me, behold me, to a Gentilitie that did not inuocate 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. 2I 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.Stesi le mani mie tutto il dì al popolo incredulo, che cammina per non buona strada dietro a' suoi pensamenti.I haue spred forth mine handes al the day to an incredulous people, which goeth in a way not good after their owne cogitations.Expandi manus meas tota die / ad populum incredulum, / qui graditur in via non bona / post cogitationes suas. 3A people that continually provoke me to anger before my face, that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice upon bricks.Al popolo, il quale in faccia a me di continuo mi provoca a sdegno, che uccide vittime negli orti, e sagrifica sopra i mattoni:A people that prouoke me to anger before my face alwayes: that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice vpon brickes.Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me / ante faciem meam semper; / qui immolant in hortis, / et sacrificant super lateres; 4That dwell in sepulchres, and sleep in the temple of idols: that eat swine’s flesh, and profane broth is in their vessels.Che abitano ne' sepolcri, e dormono ne' templi degl'idoli, che mangian carne di porco, e brodo profano hanno nelle loro pignatte.That dwel in sepulchers, and sleepe in temples of idols: that eate swines flesh, and profane potage in their vessels.qui habitant in sepulchris, / et in delubris idolorum dormiunt; / qui comedunt carnem suillam, / et jus profanum in vasis eorum; 5That 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.Che dicono: Ritirati da me, non appressarti, perchè tu se' immondo: costoro al mio furore diverran fumo, e fuoco, che sempre arderà.That say: Depart from me, approch not to me, because thou art vncleane: these shal be smoke in my furie, a fyre burning al the day.qui dicunt: Recede a me, / non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es. / Isti fumus erunt in furore meo, / ignis ardens tota die.

6Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.Ecco, che ciò è scritto dinanzi a me: io non tacerò, ma renderò, e verserò loro in seno il contraccambio,Behold it is written before me: I wil not hold my peace, but I wil render and repay into their bosomeEcce scriptum est coram me: / Non tacebo, sed reddam, / et retribuam in sinum eorum. 7Your 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.Il contraccambio alle vostre iniquità, e alle iniquità insieme de' padri vostri, i quali sacrificarono sopra i monti, e mi disonoraron sulle colline. Verserò io in seno a costoro il contraccambio per le prime opere di quelli.your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, sayth our Lord, that haue sacrificed vpon the mountaines, and vpon the litle hilles haue reproched me, & I wil remeasure their first worke in their bosome.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. 8Thus 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.Queste cose dice il Signore: Come quando in un grappolo si trova un granello, e si dice: Nol mandar male, per chè e una benedizione: così faro io per amor de' miei servi: non isterminerò il tutto.Thus saith our Lord: As if a berrie be found in a cluster, and it be said: Destroy it not, because it is a blessing: so wil I doe for my seruants sake, that I destroy not the whole.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. 9And 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.E da Giacobbe trarrò semenza, e da Giuda chi avrà de' miei monti il dominio. E Gerusalemme sarà eredita de' miei eletti, e vi abiteranno i miei servi.And I wil bring forth seede out of Iacob, & out of Iuda a possessour of my mountaines: and mine elect shal inherite it, and my seruants shal inhabite there.Et educam de Jacob semen, / et de Juda possidentem montes meos; / et hæreditabunt eam electi mei, / et servi mei habitabunt ibi.

10And 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.E le campagne saranno ovili di greggi, e nella valle di Achor riposeranno gli armenti del popol mio, di que', che han cercato di me,And the champaine countries shal be into foldes of flockes, and the valley of Achor for the couche of heardes, vnto my people that haue sought after me.Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, / et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum, / populo meo qui requisierunt me. 11And you, that have forsaken the Lord, that have forgotten my holy mount, that set a table for fortune, and offer libations upon it,Ma voi, che abbandonaste il Signore, che vi siete scordati del mio monte santo, che apparecchiate la mensa alla fortuna, e sopra vi fate le libagioni,And you, that haue forsaken the Lord, that haue forgotten my holie mount, that sette a table to Fortune, and offer libaments vpon it.Et vos qui dereliquistis Dominum, / qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, / qui ponitis fortunæ mensam, / et libatis super eam: 12I 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.Vi conterò colla spada, e nella strage tutti voi perirete: perchè vi ho chiamati, e non avete risposto; ho parlato, e non avete dato retta, e facevate il male sugli occhi miei, e avete voluto quel, ch'io non voleva.I wil number you in the sword, and you shal al fal by slaughter: because I called, and you haue not answered: I spake, and you haue not heard, and you did euil in mine eies: and you haue chosen the thinges, that I would not.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. 13Therefore 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.Quindi è, che così dice il Signore Dio: Ecco, che i servi miei mangeranno, e voi patirete la fame: ecco, che i servi miei beranno, e voi patirete la sete:For this cause thus sayth our Lord God: Behold my seruants shal eate, and you shal be hungrie: behold, my seruants shal drinke, and you shal be thirstie.Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce servi mei comedent, / et vos esurietis; / ecce servi mei bibent, / et vos sitietis; 14Behold 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.Ecco, che i servi miei saranno in gaudio, e voi sarete confusi: ecco, che i servi miei per la letizia del cuore canteran laude, e voi per l'affanno del cuore alzerete le grida, e per l'afflizion dello spirito urlerete.Behold my seruants shal reioyce, and you shal be confounded: behold my seruants shal prayse for ioyfulnes of hart: and you shal crie for sorow of hart, and for contrition of spirit you shal howle.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,

15And 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.E lascerete esecrabile pe' miei eletti il nome vostro. Il Signore Dio vi farà perire, e a' suoi servi porrà altro nome.And you shal leaue your name for an othe to mine elect: and the Lord God shal kil thee, and wil cal his seruants by an other name.et dimittetis nomen vestrum in juramentum electis meis; / et interficiet te Dominus Deus, / et servos suos vocabit nomine alio: 16In 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.Nel qual (nome) chi è benedetto sopra la terra, sarà benedetto da Dio vero, e chi fa giuramento sopra la terra, in questo Dio vero giurerà: perchè le precedenti angustie son messe in dimenticanza, e perchè elle sono sparite dagli occhi miei.In which he that is blessed vpon the earth, shal be blessed in God amen: & he that sweareth in the earth, shal sweare by God amen: because the former distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from myne eyes.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. 17For 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.Imperocché ecco, che io creo nuovi cieli, e nuova terra, e le prime cose non saran più rammentate, né se ne farà ricordanza.For behold I create new heauens, and a new earth: and the former thinges shal not be in memorie, and they shal not ascend vpon the hart.Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, / et terram novam; / et non erunt in memoria priora, / et non ascendent super cor. 18But 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.Ma vi rallegrerete, ed esulterete in eterno per ragion delle cose, ch'io creo: perocché ecco, che io creo Gerusalemme città di esultazione, e il popol di lei popol gaudente.But you shal be glad and reioyce for euer in these thinges, which I create: because loe I create Ierusalem exultation, and the people therof ioy.Sed gaudebitis et exsultabitis usque in sempiternum / in his quæ ego creo: / quia ecce ego creo Jerusalem exsultationem, / et populum ejus gaudium. 19And 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.Ed io esulterò per ragion di Gerusalemme, e gaudio darammi il mio popolo: ne in lui udirassi più voce di pianto, e voce di lamento.And I wil reioyce in Ierusalem, and be glad in my people, and there shal no more be heard in it the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying.Et exsultabo in Jerusalem, / et gaudebo in populo meo, / et non audietur in eo ultra / vox fletus et vox clamoris.

20There 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 vi sarà più fanciullo di pochi giorni, né vecchio, che non compisca i suoi giorni; perchè il fanciullo di cento anni morrà, e il peccatore di cento anni sarà maledetto.There shal no more be a childe of daies, and an old man that shal not fil vp his dayes, because the childe of an hundred yeares shal die, and the sinner of an hundred yeares shal be accurst.Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, / et senex qui non impleat dies suos, / quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, / et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit. 21And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them.E fabbricheranno case, e le abiteranno, e pianteranno vigne, e ne mangeranno il frutto.And they shal build cities, and inhabite: and they shal plant vineyardes, and eate the fruites therof.Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt; / et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum. 22They 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 avverrà, che essi edifichino, ne vi abiti un altro, né che piantino, e un altro mangi; perocché i giorni del popol mio saran come quei di quell'albero, e le opere delle loro mani dureran lungamente:They shal not build, and an others shal dwel: they shal not plant, and an other shal eate: for according to the daies of the tree, shal be the dayes of my people, and they shal make old the workes of their handes.Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit; / non plantabunt, et alius comedet: / secundum enim dies ligni erunt dies populi mei, / et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt. 23My 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.Non si affaticheranno in vano i miei eletti, né genereranno figliuoli, che sian loro d'affanno: perchè stirpe benedetta dal Signore son essi, e con essi i loro nipoti.Myne elect shal not labour in vayne nor ingender in conturbation: because it is the seede of the blessed of the Lord, and their posteritie with them.Electi mei non laborabunt frustra, / neque generabunt in conturbatione, / quia semen benedictorum Domini est, / et nepotes eorum cum eis.

24And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear.E prima, che alzin la voce, io gli esaudirò, e prima, che abbian finito di dire, gli avrò uditi.And it shal be, before they cal, I wil heare: as they are yet speaking, I wil heare.Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam; / adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam. 25The 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.Il lupo, e l'agnello pascoleranno insieme, il leone, e il bue mangeranno lo strame; e pane del serpente sarà la polvere; non uccideranno, né faranno ingiuria in tutto il mio monte santo dice il Signore.The wulfe and the lambe shal feede together, the lion and the oxe shal eate straw: & to the serpent dust shal be his bread: they shal not hurt, nor kil in al my holie mountaine, sayth our Lord.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.
