Isaia 45

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Haec dicit Dominus de uncto suo Cyro: “ Apprehendi dexteram eius, ut subiciam ante faciem eius gentes et dorsa regum vertam et aperiam coram eo ianuas; et portae non claudentur.	1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
2 Ego ante te ibo et montes humiliabo; portas aereas conteram et vectes ferreos confringam.	2 I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
3 Et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos et divitias occultas, ut scias quia ego Dominus, qui vocavi te nomine tuo, Deus Israel.	3 And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
4 Propter servum meum Iacob et Israel electum meum, et vocavi te nomine tuo; designavi te, et non cognovisti me.	4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
5 Ego Dominus, et non est amplius: extra me non est Deus. Accinxi te, et non cognovisti me,	5 I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
6 ut sciant ab ortu solis et ab occidente quoniam absque me nullus est. Ego Dominus, et non est alter,	6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
7 formans lucem et creans tenebras, faciens pacem et creans malum: ego Dominus faciens omnia haec.	7 I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
8 Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant iustitiam; aperiatur terra et germinet salvationem; et iustitia oriatur simul: ego Dominus creavi eam ”.	8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
9 Vae, qui contradicit fictori suo, testa de vasis fictilibus terrae! Numquid dicet lutum figulo suo: “ Quid facis? ” et “ Opus tuum absque manibus est ”?	9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
10 Vae, qui dicit patri: “ Quid generas? ” et mulieri: “ Quid parturis? ”.	10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
11 Haec dicit Dominus, Sanctus Israel, plastes eius: “ Numquid ventura interrogatis me super filios meos et super opus manuum mearum mandatis mihi?	11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
12 Ego feci terram et hominem super eam creavi ego; manus meae tetenderunt caelos, et omni militiae eorum mandavi.	12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
13 Ego suscitavi eum in iustitia et omnes vias eius dirigam; ipse aedificabit civitatem meam et captivitatem meam dimittet non in pretio neque in muneribus ”, dicit Dominus exercituum.	13 I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
14 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Labor Aegypti et negotiatio Aethiopiae et Sabaim viri sublimes ad te transibunt et tui erunt; post te ambulabunt, vincti manicis pergent et te adorabunt teque deprecabuntur: “Tantum in te est Deus, et non est absque te Deus!”.	14 Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
15 Vere tu es Deus absconditus, Deus Israel, salvator.	15 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
16 Confusi sunt et erubuerunt omnes, simul abierunt in confusionem fabricatores idolorum.	16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
17 Israel salvatus est in Domino salute aeterna; non confundemini et non erubescetis usque in saeculum saeculi.	17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
18 Quia haec dicit Dominus, qui creavit caelos, ipse Deus, qui formavit terram et fecit eam, ipse fundavit eam; non ut vacua esset, creavit eam, ut habitaretur, formavit eam: “ Ego Dominus, et non est alius.	18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Non in abscondito locutus sum, in loco terrae tenebroso; non dixi semini Iacob: “Frustra quaerite me”. Ego Dominus loquens iustitiam, annuntians recta.	19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
20 Congregamini et venite et accedite simul, qui salvati estis ex gentibus. Nescierunt, qui levant lignum sculpturae suae et rogant deum non salvantem.	20 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Annuntiate et venite et consiliamini simul. Quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, ex tunc praedixit illud? Numquid non ego Dominus, et non est ultra Deus absque me? Deus iustus et salvans non est praeter me.	21 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
22 Convertimini ad me et salvi eritis, omnes fines terrae, quia ego Deus, et non est alius.	22 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
23 In memetipso iuravi: Egressa est de ore meo iustitia, verbum, quod non revertetur; quia mihi curvabitur omne genu, et iurabit omnis lingua ”.	23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return:
24 “ Tantum in Domino ” dicent “ sunt iustitiae et robur! ”. Ad eum venient et confundentur omnes, qui repugnant ei;	24 For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
25 in Domino iustificabitur et laudabitur omne semen Israel.	25 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
	26 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
