Isaia 42

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum; electus meus, complacet sibi in illo anima mea; dedi spiritum meum super eum, iudicium gentibus proferet.	1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 Non clamabit neque vociferabitur, nec audietur vox eius foris.	2 He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 Calamum quassatum non conteret et linum fumigans non exstinguet; in veritatem proferet iudicium.	3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
4 Non languebit nec frangetur, donec ponat in terra iudicium; et legem eius insulae exspectant.	4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
5 Haec dicit Dominus Deus, creans caelos et extendens eos, firmans terram et quae germinant ex ea, dans flatum populo, qui est super eam, et spiritum calcantibus eam:	5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
6 “ Ego, Dominus, vocavi te in iustitia et apprehendi manum tuam; et formavi te et dedi te in foedus populi, in lucem gentium,	6 I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 ut aperires oculos caecorum et educeres de conclusione vinctum, de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.	7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 Ego Dominus: hoc est nomen meum; et gloriam meam alteri non dabo et laudem meam sculptilibus.	8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Quae prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt; nova quoque ego annuntio: antequam oriantur, audita vobis faciam ”.	9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
10 Cantate Domino canticum novum, laus eius ab extremis terrae; qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo eius, insulae et habitatores earum.	10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Exsultent desertum et civitates eius, vici, quos habitat Cedar. Iubilent habitatores Petrae, de vertice montium clament.	11 Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 Ponant Domino gloriam et laudem eius in insulis nuntient.	12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
13 Dominus sicut fortis egredietur, sicut vir proeliator suscitabit zelum; vociferabitur et conclamabit, super inimicos suos praevalebit.	13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 “ Tacui semper, silui, patiens fui; sicut parturiens ululabo, gemam et fremam simul.	14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
15 Desertos faciam montes et colles et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo; et ponam flumina in insulas et stagna arefaciam.	15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
16 Et ducam caecos in viam, quam nesciunt, et in semitis, quas ignoraverunt, ambulare eos faciam; ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem et prava in recta. Haec verba faciam eis et non dereliquam eos ”.	16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 Conversi sunt retrorsum; confundantur confusione, qui confidunt in sculptili, qui dicunt conflatili: “ Vos dii nostri ”.	17 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 Surdi, audite; et caeci, intuemini ad videndum.	18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19 Quis caecus sicut servus meus, et surdus sicut nuntius, quem ego mittam? Quis caecus sicut qui restitutus est? Et quis caecus sicut servus Domini?	19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 Multa vidisti, sed non servas; aures aperuisti, sed non audis.	20 You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 Dominus voluit propter iustitiam suam magnificare legem et extollere.	21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22 Ipse autem populus direptus et vastatus; in foveis conclusi omnes, et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt. Facti sunt in rapinam, nec est qui eruat; in direptionem, nec est qui dicat: “ Redde! ”.	22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 Quis est in vobis, qui audiat hoc, attendat et auscultet futura?	23 Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24 Quis dedit in direptionem Iacob et Israel vastantibus? Nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus? Et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare et non audierunt legem eius.	24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? It is not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
25 Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui et forte bellum. Et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit; et succendit eum, et non intellexit.	25 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
