Isaiæ 54

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Exsulta, sterilis, quae non peperisti, laetare, gaude, quae non parturisti, quoniam multi sunt filii desertae magis quam filii nuptae, dicit Dominus.	1 Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.
2 Dilata locum tentorii tui et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende, ne parcas; longos fac funiculos tuos et clavos tuos consolida.	2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
3 Ad dexteram enim et ad laevam penetrabis, et semen tuum hereditabit gentes, quae civitates desertas inhabitabunt.	3 For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.
4 Noli timere, quia non confunderis, neque erubescas, quia non te pudebit; nam confusionis adulescentiae tuae oblivisceris et opprobrii viduitatis tuae non recordaberis amplius.	4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
5 Qui enim fecit te, erit sponsus tuus, Dominus exercituum nomen eius; et redemptor tuus Sanctus Israel, Deus omnis terrae vocabitur.	5 For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.
6 Quia ut mulierem derelictam et maerentem spiritu vocavit te Dominus, et uxorem ab adulescentia abiectam dixit Deus tuus.	6 For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, end se a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.
7 Ad punctum in modico dereliqui te et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te.	7 For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8 In momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui, dixit redemptor tuus Dominus.	8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 Sicut in diebus Noe istud mihi est, cui iuravi, ne inducerem aquas Noe ultra supra terram; sic iuravi, ut non irascar tibi et non increpem te.	9 This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.
10 Montes enim recedent, et colles movebuntur, misericordia autem mea non recedet a te, et foedus pacis meae non movebitur, dixit miserator tuus Dominus.	10 For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
11 Paupercula, tempestate convulsa absque ulla consolatione, ecce ego sternam super carbunculos lapides tuos et fundabo te in sapphiris;	11 O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,
12 et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua et portas tuas in lapides pretiosos et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles.	12 And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.
13 Universi filii tui erunt discipuli Domini, et magna erit pax filiis tuis;	13 All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 in iustitia fundaberis. Procul eris ab oppressione, quia non timebis, et a pavore, quia non appropinquabit tibi.	14 And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
15 Ecce, si impetus fiet, non erit ex me; qui impetum fecerit in te, cadetcontra te.	15 Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.
16 Ecce, ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas et proferentem vas in opus suum; et ego creavi etiam vastatorem ad disperdendum.	16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.
17 Omne vas, quod fictum est contra te, frustra erit. Et omnem linguam insurgentem tibi in iudicio confutabis: haec est hereditas servorum Domini et iustitia eorum ex me, dicit Dominus.	17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.
