Isaiah 26

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 That day, this song wil be sung in Judah: 'We have a fortress city, the wal s and ramparts providesafety.	1 In die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Iudae: “ Urbs fortis nobis in salutem; posuit muros et antemurale.
2 Open the gates! Let the upright nation come in, the nation that keeps faith!	2 Aperite portas, et ingrediatur gens iusta, quae servat fidem.
3 This is the plan decreed: you wil guarantee peace, the peace entrusted to you.	3 Propositum eius est firmum; servabis pacem, quia in te speravit.
4 Trust in Yahweh for ever, for Yahweh is a rock for ever.	4 Sperate in Dominum in saeculis aeternis, Dominus est petra aeterna.
5 He has brought low the dwel ers on the heights, the lofty citadel; he lays it low, brings it to the ground,flings it down in the dust.	5 Quia evertit habitantes in excelso, civitatem sublimem humiliabit; humiliabit eam usque ad terram, detrahet eam usque ad pulverem.
6 It wil be trodden under foot, by the feet of the needy, the steps of the weak.'	6 Conculcabit eam pes, pedes pauperis, gressus egenorum.
7 The path of the Upright One is honesty; you smooth the honest way of the upright.	7 Semita iusti recta est; rectum callem iusti complanas.
8 Fol owing the path of your judgements, Yahweh, we set our hopes in you, your name, your memory areal our soul desires.	8 Et in semita iudiciorum tuorum, Domine, speravimus in te; ad nomen tuum et ad memoriale tuum desiderium animae.
9 At night my soul longs for you and my spirit within me seeks you out; for when your judgements appearon earth the inhabitants of the world learn what saving justice is.	9 Anima mea desiderat te in nocte, sed et spiritu meo in praecordiis meis te quaero. Cum resplenduerint iudicia tua in terra, iustitiam discent habitatores orbis.
10 If pity is shown to the wicked without his learning what saving justice is, he wil act wrongly in the landof right conduct and not see the majesty of Yahweh.	10 Fit misericordia impio, non discet iustitiam; in terra probitatis inique gerit et non videt maiestatem Domini.
11 Yahweh, your hand is raised but they do not see! The antagonists of your people will look and growpale; with your fiery wrath you wil devour your enemies.	11 Domine, exaltata est manus tua, et non vident; videant confusi zelum tuum in populum, et ignis hostium tuorum devorabit eos.
12 Yahweh, you wil grant us peace, having completed al our undertakings for us.	12 Domine, dabis pacem nobis; omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis.
13 Yahweh our God, other lords than you have ruled us but, loyal to you alone, we invoke your name.	13 Domine Deus noster, possederunt nos domini absque te; tantum in te recordemur nominis tui.
14 The dead wil not come back to life, the shadows wil not rise again, for you have punished them,annihilated them, wiping out their very memory.	14 Mortui non reviviscent, defuncti non resurgent; propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum.
15 You have made the nation larger, Yahweh, made the nation larger and won yourself glory, you haverol ed back the frontiers of the country.	15 Auxisti gentem, Domine, auxisti gentem, glorificatus es; elongasti omnes terminos terrae.
16 Yahweh, in distress they had recourse to you, they expended themselves in prayer, since yourpunishment was on them.	16 Domine, in angustia quaesierunt te, fuderunt incantationem, castigatio tua in eis.
17 As a pregnant woman near her time of delivery writhes and cries out in her pangs, so have we been,Yahweh, in your eyes:	17 Sicut quae concipit, cum appropinquaverit ad partum dolens clamat in doloribus suis, sic facti sumus a facie tua, Domine.
18 we have been pregnant, we have writhed, but we have given birth only to wind: we have not givensalvation to the earth, no inhabitants for the world have been brought to birth.	18 Concepimus et parturivimus, quasi peperimus ventum. Salutes non fecimus in terra, ideo non nati sunt habitatores terrae.
19 Your dead will come back to life, your corpses wil rise again. Wake up and sing, you dwel ers in thedust, for your dew wil be a radiant dew, but the earth will give birth to the shades.	19 Reviviscent mortui tui, interfecti mei resurgent. Expergiscimini et laudate, qui habitatis in pulvere, quia ros lucis ros tuus, et terra defunctos suos edet in lucem.
20 Go, my people, go to your private room, shut yourselves in. Hide yourselves a little while until theretribution has passed.	20 Vade, populus meus, intra in cubicula tua, claude ostia tua super te, abscondere modicum ad momentum, donec pertranseat indignatio.
21 For see, Yahweh emerges from his dwel ing to punish the inhabitants of earth for their guilt; and theearth will reveal the blood shed on it and no longer hide its slain.	21 Ecce enim Dominus egredietur de loco suo, ut visitet iniquitatem habitatoris terrae contra eum; et revelabit terra sanguinem suum et non operiet ultra interfectos suos ”.
