Isaiah 50

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 Thus says the LORD: "Where is your mother's bill of divorce, with which I put her away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was put away.	1 Hæc dicit Dominus : Quis est hic liber repudii matris vestræ, quo dimisi eam ? aut quis est creditor meus, cui vendidi vos ? Ecce in iniquitatibus vestris venditi estis, et in sceleribus vestris dimisi matrem vestram.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink for lack of water, and die of thirst.	2 Quia veni, et non erat vir ; vocavi, et non erat qui audiret. Numquid abbreviata et parvula facta est manus mea, ut non possim redimere ? aut non est in me virtus ad liberandum ? Ecce in increpatione mea desertum faciam mare, ponam flumina in siccum ; computrescent pisces sine aqua, et morientur in siti.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering."	3 Induam cælos tenebris, et saccum ponam operimentum eorum.
4 The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him that is weary. Morning by morning he wakens, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.	4 Dominus dedit mihi linguam eruditam, ut sciam sustentare eum qui lassus est verbo. Erigit mane, mane erigit mihi aurem, ut audiam quasi magistrum.
5 The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I turned not backward.	5 Dominus Deus aperuit mihi aurem, ego autem non contradico : retrorsum non abii.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.	6 Corpus meum dedi percutientibus, et genas meas vellentibus ; faciem meam non averti ab increpantibus et conspuentibus in me.
7 For the Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been confounded; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame;	7 Dominus Deus auxiliator meus, ideo non sum confusus ; ideo posui faciem meam ut petram durissimam, et scio quoniam non confundar.
8 he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.	8 Juxta est qui justificat me ; quis contradicet mihi ? Stemus simul ; quis est adversarius meus ? accedat ad me.
9 Behold, the Lord GOD helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.	9 Ecce Dominus Deus auxiliator meus ; quis est qui condemnet me ? Ecce omnes quasi vestimentum conterentur ; tinea comedet eos.
10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant, who walks in darkness and has no light, yet trusts in the name of the LORD and relies upon his God?	10 Quis ex vobis timens Dominum, audiens vocem servi sui ? Qui ambulavit in tenebris, et non est lumen ei, speret in nomine Domini, et innitatur super Deum suum.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who set brands alight. Walk by the light of your fire, and by the brands which you have kindled! This shall you have from my hand: you shall lie down in torment.	11 Ecce vos omnes accendentes ignem, accincti flammis : ambulate in lumine ignis vestri, et in flammis quas succendistis ; de manu mea factum est hoc vobis : in doloribus dormietis.
