45 — Isaia

1Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.Queste cose dice il Signore a Ciro mio unto, cui io ho preso per mano, per soggettare a lui le nazioni, e porre in fuga i re, e aprire davanti a lui le porte, e le porte non saran chiuse.THVS sayth the Lord to my christ Cyrus, whose right hand I haue taken, to subdew the Gentiles before his face, and to turne the backes of kinges, & to open the doores before him, and the gates shal not be shut.Hæc dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro, / cujus apprehendi dexteram, / ut subjiciam ante faciem ejus gentes, / et dorsa regum vertam, / et aperiam coram eo januas, / et portæ non claudentur: 2I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.Io anderò innanzi a te, ed umilierò i grandi della terra: spezzerò le porte di bronzo, e romperò i catenacci di ferro.I wil goe before thee, and wil humble the glorious of the earth: I wil breake the brasen gates, and wil burst the iron barres.Ego ante te ibo, et gloriosos terræ humiliabo; / portas æreas conteram, / et vectes ferreos confringam: 3And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.E darò a te i tesori nascosti, e le ricchezze sepolte; affinchè tu sappi, che son io il Signore, che ti chiamo per nome, il Dio d'Israele.And I wil geue thee hidden treasures, & mysteries of secretes: that thou mayst know that I am the Lord, which cal thy name, the God of Israel.et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos, / et arcana secretorum, / ut scias quia ego Dominus, / qui voco nomen tuum, Deus Israël, 4For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.Per amor del mio servo Giacobbe, e d'Israele eletto mio, ti ho chiamato pel tuo nome, ti ho dato un cognome, e tu non mi hai conosciuto.For my seruant Iacob, and Israel myne elect, and I haue called thee by thy name: I haue resembled thee, and thou hast not knowen me.propter servum meum Jacob, / et Israël, electum meum; / et vocavi te nomine tuo: / assimilavi te, et non cognovisti me.

5I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:Io il Signore, e altri non v'ha; non è Dio fuori di me: io ti ho cinta la spada al fianco, e tu non mi hai conosciuto:I the Lord, & there is none els: beside me there is no God: I girded thee, and thou hast not knowen me:Ego Dominus, et non est amplius; / extra me non est deus; / accinxi te, et non cognovisti me: 6That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:Affinchè sappian tutti dove il sol nasce, e dov' egli tramonta, che nissuno è fuori di me. Io il Signore, e non havvene un altro.that they which are from the rising of the sunne, and which are from the west may know, that there is none beside me. I the Lord, and there is none oher,ut sciant hi qui ab ortu solis et qui ab occidente, / quoniam absque me non est: / ego Dominus, et non est alter: 7I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.Io, che formo la luce, e creo le tenebre, io che io la pace, e creo le sciagure. Io il Signore, che fo tutte queste cose.that forme light, and create darknesse, make peace, and create euil: I the Lord that doe al these thinges.formans lucem et creans tenebras, / faciens pacem et creans malum: / ego Dominus faciens omnia hæc. 8Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.Mandate o cieli di sopra la vostra rugiada, e le nubi piovano il giusto: si apra la terra, e germini il Salvatore, e nasca insieme la giustizia. Io il Signore lo ho creato.Droppe dew ye heauens from aboue, and let the cloudes rayne the iust: be the earth opened, and bud forth a sauiour: and let iustice spring vp withal: I the Lord haue created him.Rorate, cæli, desuper, / et nubes pluant justum; / aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem, / et justitia oriatur simul: / ego Dominus creavi eum. 9Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?Guai a colui, che contraddice a lui, che lo formò, vaso di terra di Samos. La pasta di terra dice ella forse al vasaio; Che fai tu? Il tuo lavoro non è opra di mano.Woe to him that gainesayeth his maker, a sheard of the earthen pottes: shal the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What makest thou, & thy worke is without handes?Væ qui contradicit fictori suo, / testa de samiis terræ ! / Numquid dicet lutum figulo suo: Quid facis, / et opus tuum absque manibus est ?

10Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?Guai a colui, che dice al padre: Perchè mi generavi tu? E alla madre: Perchè mi concepivi tu?Woe to him that sayth to his father: Why doest thou beget? and to the woman: Why doest thou trauel?Væ qui dicit patri: Quid generas ? / et mulieri: Quid parturis ? 11Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.Queste cose dice il Signore, il Santo d'Israele, cui egli formo: Interrogatemi sopra le cose future? sopra i miei figliuoli, e sopra le opere delle mie mani datemi i vostri ordini.Thus sayth our Lord the holy one of Israel the maker therof: Aske me thinges to come: concerning my children and the worke of my handes command you me.Hæc dicit Dominus, / Sanctus Israël, plastes ejus: / Ventura interrogate me; / super filios meos et super opus manuum mearum mandate mihi. 12I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.Io feci la terra; e in essa creai l'uomo: le mani mie disteser i cieli, e alla loro milizia io feci comandamento.I made the earth: & man vpon the same I haue created: my handes stretched forth the heauens, and I haue commanded al their host.Ego feci terram, / et hominem super eam creavi ego: / manus meæ tetenderunt cælos, / et omni militiæ eorum mandavi. 13I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.Io lo ho suscitato per la giustizia, e reggerò tutti i suoi passi: egli edificherà la mia città, e a' miei schiavi darà libertà, non a prezzo, né per donativi, dice il Signore Dio degli eserciti.I haue raysed him vp to iustice, & wil direct al his wayes: he shal build my citie, & dismisse my captiuitie: not for price, nor for giftes, sayth our Lord the God of hostes.Ego suscitavi eum ad justitiam, / et omnes vias ejus dirigam; / ipse ædificabit civitatem meam, / et captivitatem meam dimittet, / non in pretio neque in muneribus, / dicit Dominus Deus exercituum. 14Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thine: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.Queste cose dice il Signore: Le fatiche dell'Egitto, e il mercimonio dell'Etiopia, e i Sabei uomini di grande statura passeranno dalla tua parte, e saran tuoi: cammineran dietro a te colle mani legate; e te adoreranno, e a te porgeranno preghiere. Teco solamente e Dio, fuori del quale altro Dio non è.Thus sayth our Lord: The labour of Aegypt, and the merchandise of Aethiopia, and of Sabaim the high men shal passe to thee, & shal be thine: they shal walke after thee, they shal goe bound with manicles: and they shal adore thee, and shal beseche thee: Onlie in thee is God, and there is no God beside thee.Hæc dicit Dominus: / Labor Ægypti, et negotiatio Æthiopiæ, / et Sabaim viri sublimes / ad te transibunt, et tui erunt; / post te ambulabunt, / vincti manicis pergent, et te adorabunt, / teque deprecabuntur. / Tantum in te est Deus, / et non est absque te deus.

15Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.Veramente un Dio ascoso se' tu, Dio d'Israele Salvatore.Verely thou art God hidden, the God of Israel a sauiour.Vere tu es Deus absconditus, / Deus Israël, salvator. 16They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.Son confusi, e svergognati tutti: sono caduti insieme nell'obbrobrio i fabbricatori degli errori.They are al confounded, and ashamed: the forgers of errours are gone together into confusion.Confusi sunt, et erubuerunt omnes: / simul abierunt in confusionem fabricatores errorum. 17Israel is saved in the Lord with an eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.Israele dal Signore è stato salvato con salute eterna: non sarete confusi, né arrossirete per tutti i secoli.Israel is saued in our Lord with eternal saluation: you shal not be confounded, and you shal not be ashamed for euer and euer.Israël salvatus est in Domino salute æterna; / non confundemini, et non erubescetis usque in sæculum sæculi. 18For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.Perocché queste cose dice il Signore, che crea i cieli; lo stesso Dio, che forma, e produce la terra; egli è il suo faccitore: non invano la ha creata: la formò, perchè fosse abitata: Io il Signore, ed altro non v'ha.Because thus sayth our Lord that created the heauens, the verie God that formed the earth, and made it, the verie maker therof: he did not create it in vaine: to be inhabited he formed it. I the Lord, and there is none other.Quia hæc dicit Dominus / creans cælos, / ipse Deus formans terram / et faciens eam, ipse plastes ejus; / non in vanum creavit eam: / ut habitaretur formavit eam: / Ego Dominus, et non est alius. 19I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.Non di nascosto ho parlato, in qualche tenebroso luogo della terra: non ho detto alla stirpe di Giacobbe: Cercatemi inutilmente. Io Signore, che insegno la giustizia, e predico la rettitudine.I haue not spoken in secrete, in a darke place of the earth: I haue not sayd to the seede of Iacob: Seeke me in vayne. I the Lord that speake iustice, that declare right thinges.Non in abscondito locutus sum, / in loco terræ tenebroso; / non dixi semini Jacob frustra: / Quærite me: / ego Dominus loquens justitiam, / annuntians recta.

20Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.Raunatevi, e venite, e appressatevi voi tutti, che siete usciti salvi di mezzo alle nazioni: sono senza intelletto coloro, che alzano statua di legno scolpita da loro, e fan preghiere a un dio, che non salva.Gather ye together, and come, and approch together ye that are saued of the Gentiles: they haue bene ignorant that lift vp the wood of their grauen worke, and aske of a God that saueth not.Congregamini, et venite, et accedite simul / qui salvati estis ex gentibus: / nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturæ suæ, / et rogant deum non salvantem. 21Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.Parlate, e venite, e fate consiglio insieme: chi fu, che fin da principio annunziò cosa tale, chi fin d'allora la predisse? Non son io quello, io il Signore, e altro Dio non è fuori di me? Dio giusto, e che salvi, non è altri che io.Declare ye, and come, and consult together: who hath made this to be heard from the begynning, from that time foretold this? Haue not I the Lord, and there is no God besides but I? A iust God, and that saueth there is none beside me.Annuntiate, et venite, / et consiliamini simul. / Quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, / ex tunc prædixit illud ? / numquid non ego Dominus, / et non est ultra deus absque me ? / Deus justus, et salvans non est præter me. 22Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.Convertitevi a me da tutte le estremità della terra, e avrete salute; perocché io son Dio, e altri non v'ha.Be conuerted to me, and you shal be saued al ye endes of the earth: because I am God, and there is none other.Convertimini ad me, et salvi eritis, / omnes fines terræ, / quia ego Deus, et non est alius. 23I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return:Per me stesso ho giurato; parola di giustizia è uscita dalla mia bocca, e non sarà rivocata: A me piegherassi ogni ginocchio, e per me farà giuramento ogni lingua.I haue sworne by myself, the word of iustice shal procede out of my mouth, and shal not returne,In memetipso juravi; / egredietur de ore meo justitiæ verbum, / et non revertetur: / quia mihi curvabitur omne genu, / et jurabit omnis lingua. 24For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.Diranno adunque nel Signore, che a me appartiene la giustizia, e l'impero: a lui verranno, e saranno confusi tutti quelli, che se gli oppongono.because euerie knee shal be bowed to me, and euerie tongue shal sweare.Ergo in Domino, dicet, / meæ sunt justitiæ et imperium; / ad eum venient, et confundentur / omnes qui repugnant ei.

25Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.Dal Signore sarà giustificata, e glorificata tutta la posterità d'Israele.Therfore in our Lord, shal he say, are my iustices and empire: they shal come to him, and al that resist him, shal be confounded.In Domino justificabitur, et laudabitur / omne semen Israël. 26In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.In our Lord shal al the seede of Israel be iustified and praysed.
