Isaiah 66

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Thus says the LORD: The heavens are my throne, the earth is my footstool. What kind of house can you build for me; what is to be my resting place?	1 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Caelum thronus meus, terra autem scabellum pedum meorum. Quae ista domus, quam aedificabitis mihi, et quis iste locus quietis meae?
2 My hand made all these things when all of them came to be, says the LORD. This is the one whom I approve: the lowly and afflicted man who trembles at my word.	2 Omnia haec manus mea fecit, et mea sunt universa ista, dicit Dominus. Ad hunc autem respiciam, ad pauperculum et contritum spiritu et trementem sermones meos.
3 Merely slaughtering an ox is like slaying a man; sacrificing a lamb, like breaking a dog's neck; Bringing a cereal offering, like offering swine's blood; burning incense, like paying homage to an idol. Since these have chosen their own ways and taken pleasure in their own abominations,	3 Qui immolat bovem, interficit virum; qui sacrificat ovem, excerebrat canem; qui offert oblationem, idemque sanguinem suillum; qui adolet incensum, benedicit idolo. Sicut isti elegerunt vias suas, et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectatur,
4 I in turn will choose ruthless treatment for them and bring upon them what they fear. Because, when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened; Because they did what was evil in my sight, and chose what gave me displeasure,	4 sic ego eligam malam sortem eorum et, quae timebant, adducam eis; quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet, locutus sum, et non audierunt feceruntque malum in oculis meis et, quod displicet mihi, elegerunt ”.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: Your brethren who, because of my name, hate and reject you, say, "Let the LORD show his glory that we may see your joy"; but they shall be put to shame.	5 Audite verbum Domini, qui tremitis ad verbum eius. Dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos et abicientes vos propter nomen meum: “ Gloriam suam manifestet Dominus, ut videamus laetitiam vestram”; ipsi autem confundentur.
6 A sound of roaring from the city, a sound from the temple, The sound of the LORD repaying his enemies their deserts!	6 Vox clamoris de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.
7 Before she comes to labor, she gives birth; Before the pains come upon her, she safely delivers a male child.	7 Antequam parturiret, peperit; antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.
8 Who ever heard of such a thing, or saw the like? Can a country be brought forth in one day, or a nation be born in a single moment? Yet Zion is scarcely in labor when she gives birth to her children.	8 Quis audivit umquam tale? Et quis vidit huic simile? Numquid oritur terra in die una, aut parietur gens in momento? Quia parturivit, iam peperit Sion filios suos.
9 Shall I bring a mother to the point of birth, and yet not let her child be born? says the LORD; Or shall I who allow her to conceive, yet close her womb? says your God.	9 “ Numquid aperiam uterum et parere non faciam? ”, dicit Dominus. “ Aut ego, qui parere facio, uterum claudam? ”, ait Deus tuus.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; Exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her!	10 Laetamini cum Ierusalem et exsultate in ea, omnes, qui diligitis eam; gaudete cum ea gaudio, universi, qui lugebatis super eam,
11 Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort, That you may nurse with delight at her abundant breasts!	11 ut sugatis et repleamini ab ubere consolationis eius, ut mulgeatis et deliciis affluatis ex uberibus gloriae eius.
12 For thus says the LORD: Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap;	12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: “ Ecce ego dirigam ad eam quasi fluvium pacem et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam gentium. Sugetis, in ulnis portabimini, et super genua blandientur vobis.
13 As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.	13 Quomodo si quem mater consolatur, ita ego consolabor vos; et in Ierusalem consolabimini.
14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bodies flourish like the grass; The LORD'S power shall be known to his servants, but to his enemies, his wrath.	14 Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt, et manifestabitur manus Domini in servis eius, et indignabitur inimicis suis.
15 Lo, the LORD shall come in fire, his chariots like the whirlwind, To wreak his wrath with burning heat and his punishment with fiery flames.	15 Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, et quasi turbo quadrigae eius, reddere in indignatione furorem suum et increpationem suam in flamma ignis;
16 For the LORD shall judge all mankind by fire and sword. and many shall be slain by the LORD.	16 quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit et in gladio suo omnem carnem, et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino.
17 They who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the groves, as followers of one who stands within, they who eat swine's flesh, loathsome things and mice, shall all perish with their deeds and their thoughts, says the LORD.	17 Qui sanctificantur et purificantur, ut ingrediantur in hortos post aliquem stantem in medio, qui comedunt carnem suillam et abominationem et murem, simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.
18 I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and see my glory.	18 Ego autem cognoscens opera eorum et cogitationes eorum veniam, ut congregemomnes gentes et linguas; et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.
19 I will set a sign among them; from them I will send fugitives to the nations: to Tarshish, Put and Lud, Mosoch, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have never heard of my fame, or seen my glory; and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations.	19 Et ponam in eissignum et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad gentes in Tharsis, Phut, Lud,Mosoch, Ros, Thubal et Iavan, ad insulas longinquas, ad eos, qui non audieruntde me et non viderunt gloriam meam, et annuntiabunt gloriam meam gentibus;
20 They shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots, in carts, upon mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their offering to the house of the LORD in clean vessels.	20 etadducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis gentibus oblationem Domino, in equiset in quadrigis et in lecticis et in mulis et in dromedariis, ad montem sanctummeum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus: quomodo si inferant filii Israel oblationem invase mundo in domum Domini.
21 Some of these I will take as priests and Levites, says the LORD.	21 Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes et Levitas, dicitDominus.
22 As the new heavens and the new earth which I will make Shall endure before me, says the LORD, so shall your race and your name endure.	22 Quia sicut caeli novi et terra nova, quae ego faciam, stabunt coram me, dicit Dominus, sic stabit semen vestrum et nomen vestrum.
23 From one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, All mankind shall come to worship before me, says the LORD.	23 Et erit: unoquoque novilunio et quovis sabbato veniet omnis caro, ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.
24 They shall go out and see the corpses of the men who rebelled against me; Their worm shall not die, nor their fire be extinguished; and they shall be abhorrent to all mankind.	24 Et egredientur et videbunt cadavera virorum, qui praevaricati sunt in me; nam vermis eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non exstinguetur, et erunt abominationi omni carni ”.
