Isaia 50

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Ubinam est liber repudii matris vestrae, quo dimisi eam? Aut quis est creditor meus, cui vendidi vos? Ecce in iniquitatibus vestris venditi estis, et in sceleribus vestris dimissa est mater vestra.	1 Thus says the Lord: What is this bill of divorce for your mother, by which I have dismissed her? Or who is my creditor, to whom I have sold you? Behold, you were sold by your iniquities, and I have dismissed your mother for your wickedness.
2 Cur veni, et non erat vir, vocavi, et non erat qui responderet? Numquid abbreviata est manus mea, ut non possim redimere? Aut non est in me virtus ad liberandum? Ecce in increpatione mea exsiccabo mare, ponam flumina in siccum; computrescent pisces sine aqua et morientur in siti.	2 For I arrived, and there was no man. I called out, and there was no one who would hear. Has my hand been shortened and become small, so that I am unable to redeem? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke, I will make the sea into a desert. I will turn rivers into dry land. The fish will rot for lack of water and will die of thirst.
3 Induam caelos luctu et saccum ponam operimentum eorum ”.	3 I will clothe the heavens in darkness, and I will make sackcloth their covering.
4 Dominus Deus dedit mihi linguam eruditam, ut sciam sustentare eum, qui lassus est, verbo; excitat mane, mane excitat mihi aurem, ut audiam quasi discipulus.	4 The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.
5 Dominus Deus aperuit mihi aurem; ego autem non rebellavi, retrorsum non abii.	5 The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back.
6 Dorsum meum dedi percutientibus et genas meas vellentibus: faciem meam non averti ab increpationibus et sputis.	6 I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me.
7 Dominus Deus auxiliator meus; ideo non sum confusus, ideo posui faciem meam ut petram durissimam et scio quoniam non confundar.	7 The Lord God is my helper. Therefore, I have not been confounded. Therefore, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded.
8 Iuxta est qui iustificat me; quis contradicet mihi? Stemus simul. Quis est adversarius meus? Accedat ad me.	8 He who justifies me is near. Who will speak against me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him approach me.
9 Ecce Dominus Deus auxiliator meus; quis est qui condemnet me? Ecce omnes quasi vestimentum conterentur, tinea comedet eos.	9 Behold, the Lord God is my helper. Who is the one who would condemn me? Behold, they will all be worn away like a garment; the moth will devour them.
10 Quis ex vobis timet Dominum, audiens vocem servi sui? Qui ambulavit in tenebris, et non est lumen ei, speret in nomine Domini et innitatur super Deum suum.	10 Who is there among you who fears the Lord? Who hears the voice of his servant? Who has walked in darkness, and there is no light in him? Let him hope in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon his God.
11 Ecce vos omnes, qui accenditis ignem, accincti sagittis, ambulate in lumine ignis vestri et in sagittis, quas succendistis. De manu mea factum est hoc vobis; in doloribus recumbetis.	11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, wrapped in flames: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have kindled. This has been done to you by my hand. You will sleep in anguish.
