66 — Isaias

1Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?Queste cose dice il Signore: Il cielo è mio seggio, e la terra sgabello a' miei piedi: che casa è quella, che voi edificherete per me, e che luogo è quello, dov' io riposi?THVS sayth our Lord: Heauen is my seate, and the earth my foote stoole: what is this house that you wil build to me? and what is this 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 ? 2My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?Queste cose tutte le fece la mano mia, e furon fatte tutte quante, dice il Signore: ma verso di chi volgerò io il mio sguardo, se non al poverello, e all'uom contrito di spirito, e che trema alla mia parola?My hand hath made al these thinges, & al these thinges haue bene done, sayth our Lord. But to whom shal I haue respect, but to the poore litle one, and the contrite of spirit, and him that trembleth at my wordes?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 ? 3He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.Colui, che immola un bue, è come chi uccide un uomo: chi scanna un agnello, come chi taglia il capo ad un cane: chi l'obblazione offerisce, come chi presentasse sangue di porco: chi dell'incenso ricordasi, come chi bene dicesse un simolacro. Tutte queste cose hanno essi elette secondo le loro inclinazioni, e l'anima loro ha amate le loro abbominazioni.He that immolateth an oxe, is as he that should stay a man: he that killeth a sheepe in sacrifice, as he that should braine a dog: he that offereth oblation, as he that should offer swines bloud: he that remembreth frankincense, as he that should blesse an idol. Al these thinges haue they chosen in their wayes, and in their abominations their soule is delighted.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. 4Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.Quindi io pure imiterò le lor derisioni; e le cose, che temevano, manderò sopra di loro, perchè chiamai, e non fu chi rispondesse; parlai, e non mi diedero retta, e fecero il male sugli occhi miei, e vollero quel, ch'io non voleva.Wherfore I also wil choose their delusions: and the thinges that they feared, I wil bring to them: because I called, and there was none that would answer: I haue spoken, and they heard not: and they haue done euil in mine eies, and haue chosen the thinges that I would 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.

5Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.Udite la parola del Signore, voi, che alla parola di lui tremate: I vostri fratelli, che vi odiano, e a causa del nome mio vi rigettano, hanno detto: si glorifichi il Signore, e nella vostra letizia noi lo riconosceremo. Ma eglino saran confusi.Heare the word of our Lord, ye that tremble at his word: your brethren that hate you, and reiect you for my name sake, haue sayd: Let the Lord be glorified, & we shal see in your ioy: but they shal be counfounded.Audite verbum Domini, / qui tremitis ad verbum ejus. / Dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos, / et abjicientes propter nomen meum: / Glorificetur Dominus, / et videbimus in lætitia vestra; / ipsi autem confundentur. 6A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.Voce del popolo dalla città, voce del tempio, voce del Signore, che rende la mercede a' suoi nemici.A voice of people from the citie, a voice from the temple, the voice of our Lord repaying retribution to his enemies.Vox populi de civitate, / vox de templo, / vox Domini / reddentis retributionem inimicis suis. 7Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.Prima di aver le doglie ella ha partorito: prima del tempo di partorire e ella ha partorito un maschio.Before she traueled, she brought forth, before her time came to be deliuered, she brought forth a man childe.Antequam parturiret, peperit; / antequam veniret partus ejus, / peperit masculum. 8Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?Chi udì mai cosa tale? E chi vide cosa simile a quella? La terra partorisce ella in un giorno? Ovvero è egli partorito un popolo tutto insieme? Ma i Sionne si senti gravida, e partorì i suoi figli.Who euer heard such a thing? and who hath sene the like to this? why, shal the earth trauel in one day? or shal a nation be brought forth together, because Sion hath traueled, and 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 ?

9Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?Forse io, che altri fo partorire, io o pur non partorirò, dice il Signore? Io, a che altrui do discendenza sarò sterile, o dice il Signore Dio tuo?Shal not I that make others to bring forth children, my self bring forth, saith the Lord? shal I, that geue generation to others, be barren, sayth the Lord 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. 10Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.Congratulatevi con Gerusalemme, ed esultate con lei tutti voi, che la amate; rallegratevi con lei grandemente voi tutti, che piangete per lei;Reioyce with Ierusalem, and be ioyful in her al ye that loue her: be glad with her in gladnes al ye, that mourne vpon her,Lætamini cum Jerusalem et exsultate in ea, / omnes qui diligitis eam; / gaudete cum ea gaudio, / universi qui lugetis super eam: 11That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.Così voi succhierete alle sue mammelle la consolazione, e ne sarete satolli; e copia grande di delizie trarrete dalla splendida gloria di lei.that you may sucke, and be filled of the breast of her consolation: that you may milke, and flow with delightes in al maner of her glorie.ut sugatis et repleamini / ab ubere consolationis ejus; / ut mulgeatis et deliciis affluatis / ab omnimoda gloria ejus. 12For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.Imperocché queste cose dice il , Signore: Ecco che io volgerò sopra di lei come un fiume di pace, e come torrente, che inonda la gloria delle genti: voi succhierete il suo latte: sul seno di lei sarete portati, e sulle ginocchia vi faranno carezze.Because thus saith our Lord: Behold I wil decline vpon her as it were a floud of peace, and as a torrent ouerflowing the glorie of the Gentiles, which you shal sucke: at the breasts you shal be caried, & vpon the knees they shal speake you fayre.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.

13As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.Come una madre accarezza il bambino, così io consolerò voi, e vostra consolazione sarà in Gerusalemme.As if the mother would speake one fayre, so wil I comfort you, and in Ierusalem you shal be comforted.Quomodo si cui mater blandiatur, / ita ego consolabor vos, / et in Jerusalem consolabimini. 14You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.Voi vedrete, e si rallegrerà il cuor vostro, e le ossa vostre rinverdiranno com'erba, e sarà conosciuta la man del Signore da' suoi servi; ma il suo sdegno farà egli provare a' suoi nemici.You shal see, and your hart shal reioyce, and your bones shal spring as an herbe, and the hand of our Lord shal be knowen to his seruants, and he shal be wrath with his enemies.Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, / et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt: / et cognoscetur manus Domini servis ejus, / et indignabitur inimicis suis. 15For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.Perocché ecco che il Signore verrà col fuoco, e il cocchio di lui sarà come un turbine, per ispandere nella sua indegnazione il suo furore, e la sua vendetta dell'ardor delle fiamme:Because loe our Lord wil come in fyre, and his chariotes as a whirlewind, to render his furie in indignation, and his rebuking in flame of fyre:Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, / et quasi turbo quadrigæ ejus, / reddere in indignatione furorem suum / et increpationem suam in flamma ignis: 16For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.Perchè il Signore cinto di fuoco, e di sua spada farà giudizio di tutta la carne, e il numero di quegli, che il Signore ucciderà, sarà grande:because our Lord shal iudge in fyre, and in his sword to al flesh, and the slaine of our Lord shal be multiplied,quia in igne Dominus dijudicabit, / et in gladio suo ad omnem carnem; / et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino, 17They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.Quei, che si santificavano, e credevan di farsi puri negli orti dietro la porta, quei, che mangiavan carne di porco, e cose abbominevoli, e i sorci, periran tutti insieme, dice il Signore:they that were sanctified, and thought them selues cleane in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eate swines flesh, and abomination and the mouse: they shal be confounded, sayth our Lord.qui sanctificabantur et mundos se putabant in hortis / post januam intrinsecus, / qui comedebant carnem suillam, / et abominationem et murem: / simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.

18But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.Ma io le opere loro, e i loro pensieri vengo a raunare con tutte le genti, e con tutte le lingue, e verranno, e vedran la mia gloria.But I know their workes, and their cogitations: I come that I may gather together with al nations and tongues: and they shal come and shal see my glorie.Ego autem opera eorum et cogitationes eorum / venio ut congregem, / cum omnibus gentibus et linguis: / et venient, et videbunt gloriam meam. 19And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:Ma alzerò tra di esse un segno, e di que', che saranno salvati, ne spedirò alle genti pel mare, nell'Africa, nella Lidia (a genti, che scoccano saette), e per l'Italia, e per la Grecia, alle rimote isole, a genti, che non han sentito parlar di me, e non han veduto la mia gloria. E la mia gloria annunzieran quelli alle genti:And I wil put a signe in them and I wil send of them, that shal be saued, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Afrike, and Lydia them that hold the arrow: into Italie, and Greece, to the ilandes farre of, to them that haue not heard of me, and haue not sene my glorie. And they shal shew forth my glorie to 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 annuntiabunt gloriam meam gentibus; 20And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.Ed ei condurranno tutti i fratelli vostri di tutte nazioni in obblazione al Signore su' cavalli, su' cocchi, nelle lettighe, su' muli, e su' carri al monte mio santo di Gerusalemme, dice il Signore, come quando i figliuoli d'Israele portano in un mondo vaso l'offerta alla casa del Signore.and they shal bring al your brethren of al nations a gift to our Lord, vpon horses, and in chariotes, & in horse litters, & on mules, and in coches, to my holie mountaine Ierusalem, sayth our Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring in a gift in a cleane vessel into the house of our 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 / Jerusalem, dicit Dominus: / quomodo si inferant filii Israël munus / in vase mundo in domum Domini. 21And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.E di questi io ne sceglierò de' sacerdoti, e de' Leviti, dice il Signore:And I wil take of them to be priestes, and leuites, sayth our Lord.Et assumam ex eis / in sacerdotes et Levitas, dicit Dominus.

22For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.Imperocché come i nuovi cieli, e la nuova terra, ch'io fo stare alla mia presenza: così starà la stirpe vostra, e il vostro nome, dice il Signore.Because as new heauens, and a new earth, which I make to stand before me, sayth our Lord: so shal your sede stand, and your name.Quia sicut cæli novi et terra nova, / quæ ego facio stare coram me, dicit Dominus, / sic stabit semen vestrum et nomen vestrum. 23And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.E di mese in mese, e di sabato in sabato verrà ogni uomo a prostrarsi dinanzi a me, dice il Signore.And there, shal be moneth after moneth, and sabbath after sabbath: al flesh shal come to adore before my face, sayth our Lord.Et erit mensis ex mense, / et sabbatum ex sabbato: / veniet omnis caro ut adoret coram facie mea, / dicit Dominus. 24And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.E usciranno a vedere i cadaveri di coloro, che han prevaricato contro di me: il loro verme non muore, e il loro fuoco non si estinguerà: e il vederli farà nausea ad ogni uomo.And they shal goe out, and see the carcasses of the men, that haue transgressed against me: their worme shal not die, and their fyre shal not be quenched: and they shal be euen vnto satietie of sight to al 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.
