Isaiah 57

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.	1 Iustus perit, et non est qui recogitet in corde suo; et viri misericordiae colliguntur, tamen non est qui intellegat: a facie enim malitiae collectus est iustus.
2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.	2 In pacem ingreditur, requiescit in cubili suo, qui ambulat in directione sua.
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.	3 Vos autem accedite huc, filii auguratricis, semen adulteri et fornicariae.
4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,	4 Super quem luditis? Super quem dilatatis os et eicitis linguam? Numquid non vos filii scelesti, semen mendax,
5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?	5 qui exardescitis in terebinthis subter omne lignum frondosum, immolantes parvulos in vallibus subter scissuras petrarum?
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?	6 In partibus vallis pars tua, hae sunt sors tua; et ipsis effundisti libamen, obtulisti sacrificium. Numquid super his consolabor?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.	7 Super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum, et illuc ascendisti, ut immolares hostias.
8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.	8 Et post ostium et postem posuisti memoriale tuum; nam longe a me discooperuisti et ascendisti, dilatasti cubile tuum, et pepigisti cum eis foedus; dilexisti stratum eorum, manum respexisti.
9 And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell.	9 Et ingressa es ad regem cum unguento et multiplicasti pigmenta tua; misisti legatos tuos procul et humiliata es usque ad inferos.
10 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.	10 In multitudine viae tuae laborasti; non dixisti: “ Vanum est! ”. Vitam manus tuae invenisti, propterea non aegrotasti.
11 For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.	11 Pro quo sollicita timuisti, quia mentita es et mei non es recordata neque cogitasti in corde tuo? Nonne, quia ego tacui et longo tempore, me non times?
12 I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.	12 Ego annuntiabo iustitiam tuam et opera tua, quae non proderunt tibi.
13 When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.	13 Cum clamaveris, liberent te lucra tua; et omnia illa auferet ventus, tollet aura. Qui autem fiduciam habet in me, hereditabit terram et possidebit montem sanctum meum.
14 And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.	14 Et dicent: “ Sternite, sternite, parate viam, auferte offendicula de via populi mei ”.
15 For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.	15 Quia haec dicit Excelsus et Sublimis, habitans aeternitatem, et sanctum nomen eius: “ Excelsus et sanctus habito et cum contrito et humili spiritu, ut vivificem spiritum humilium et vivificem cor contritorum.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, end breathings I will make.	16 Non enim in sempiternum litigabo neque usque ad finem irascar, quia spiritus a facie mea deficeret, halitus, quem ego feci.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.	17 Propter iniquitatem avaritiae eius iratus sum et percussi eum, abscondi faciem meam et indignatus sum; et abiit vagus in via cordis sui.
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.	18 Vias eius vidi et sanabo eum et reducam eum et reddam consolationes ipsi et lugentibus eius.
19 I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.	19 Creo fructum labiorum pacem; pacem ei, qui longe est et qui prope, dixit Dominus, et sanabo eum ”.
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.	20 Impii autem quasi mare fervens, quod quiescere non potest, et redundant fluctus eius in limum et lutum.
21 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.	21 Non est pax impiis, dicit Deus meus.
