Isaia 51

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Audite me, qui sequimini iustitiam, qui quaeritis Dominum; attendite ad petram, unde excisi estis, et ad cavernam laci, de qua praecisi estis.	1 Listen to me, you who pursue justice, who seek the LORD; Look to the rock from which you were hewn, to the pit from which you were quarried;
2 Attendite ad Abraham patrem vestrum et ad Saram, quae peperit vos; quia unum vocavi eum et benedixi ei et multiplicavi eum.	2 Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth; When he was but one I called him, I blessed him and made him many.
3 Consolatur enim Dominus Sion, consolatur omnes ruinas eius; et ponit desertum eius quasi Eden et solitudinem eius quasi hortum Domini. Gaudium et laetitia invenietur in ea, gratiarum actio et vox laudis.	3 Yes, the LORD shall comfort Zion and have pity on all her ruins; Her deserts he shall make like Eden, her wasteland like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness shall be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of song.
4 Attendite ad me, popule meus; et nationes, me audite, quia lex a me exiet, et iudicium meum in lucem populorum statuam.	4 Be attentive to me, my people; my folk, give ear to me. For law shall go forth from my presence, and my judgment, as the light of the peoples.
5 Prope est iustitia mea, egressa est salus mea, et brachia mea populos iudicabunt; in me insulae sperabunt et ad brachium meum attendent.	5 I will make my justice come speedily; my salvation shall go forth (and my arm shall judge the nations); In me shall the coastlands hope, and my arm they shall await.
6 Levate in caelum oculos vestros et inspicite in terram deorsum, quia caeli sicut fumus liquescent, et terra sicut vestimentum atteretur, et habitatores eius sicut haec interibunt. Salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et iustitia mea non deficiet.	6 Raise your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; Though the heavens grow thin like smoke, the earth wears out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies, My salvation shall remain forever and my justice shall never be dismayed.
7 Audite me, qui scitis iustitiam, popule, in cuius corde est lex mea: nolite timere opprobrium hominum et blasphemias eorum ne metuatis.	7 Hear me, you who know justice, you people who have my teaching at heart: Fear not the reproach of men, be not dismayed at their revilings.
8 Sicut enim vestimentum sic comedet eos vermis, et sicut lanam sic devorabit eos tinea; iustitia autem mea in sempiternum erit, et salus mea in generationes generationum.	8 They shall be like a garment eaten by moths, like wool consumed by grubs; But my justice shall remain forever and my salvation, for all generations.
9 Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudinem, brachium Domini; consurge sicut in diebus antiquis, in generationibus saeculorum. Numquid non tu percussisti Rahab, vulnerasti draconem?	9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD! Awake as in the days of old, in ages long ago! Was it not you who crushed Rahab, you who pierced the dragon?
10 Numquid non tu siccasti mare, aquam abyssi vehementis, qui posuisti profundum maris viam, ut transirent liberati?	10 Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, Who made the depths of the sea into a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Et redempti a Domino revertentur et venient in Sion laudantes; et laetitia sempiterna super capita eorum, gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt; fugiet dolor et gemitus.	11 Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; They will meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee.
12 Ego, ego ipse consolator vester. Quis tu, ut timeas ab homine mortali et a filio hominis, qui quasi fenum ita arescet?	12 I, it is I who comfort you. Can you then fear mortal man, who is human only, to be looked upon as grass,
13 Et oblitus es Domini factoris tui, qui tetendit caelos et fundavit terram; et formidasti iugiter tota die a facie furoris eius, qui te tribulabat, cum parabat ad perdendum. Ubi nunc est furor tribulantis?	13 And forget the LORD, your maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? All the day you are in constant dread of the fury of the oppressor; But when he sets himself to destroy, what is there of the oppressor's fury?
14 Cito captivus liberabitur et non morietur in fovea, nec deficiet panis eius.	14 The oppressed shall soon be released; they shall not die and go down into the pit, nor shall they want for bread.
15 Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui conturbo mare, et intumescunt fluctus eius; Dominus exercituum nomen eius.	15 For I am the LORD, your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the LORD of hosts by name.
16 Posui verba mea in ore tuo et in umbra manus meae protexi te, cum extendebam caelos et fundabam terram et dicebam ad Sion: “Populus meus es tu ”.	16 I have put my words into your mouth and shielded you in the shadow of my hand, I, who stretched out the heavens, who laid the foundations of the earth, who say to Zion: You are my people.
17 Elevare, elevare, consurge, Ierusalem, quae bibisti de manu Domini calicem irae eius; poculum soporis bibisti, epotasti.	17 Awake, awake! Arise, O Jerusalem, You who drank at the LORD'S hand the cup of his wrath; Who drained to the dregs the bowl of staggering!
18 Non est qui sustentet eam ex omnibus filiis, quos genuit; et non est qui apprehendat manum eius ex omnibus filiis, quos enutrivit.	18 She has no one to guide her of all the sons she bore; She has no one to grasp her by the hand, of all the sons she reared!--
19 Duo sunt quae occurrerunt tibi; quis contristabitur super te? Vastitas et contritio et fames et gladius; quis consolabitur te?	19 Your misfortunes are double; who is there to condole with you? Desolation and destruction, famine and sword! Who is there to comfort you?
20 Filii tui defecerunt, iacent in capite omnium viarum sicut oryx illaqueatus, pleni indignatione Domini, increpatione Dei tui.	20 Your sons lie helpless at every street corner like antelopes in a net. They are filled with the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Idcirco audi hoc, paupercula et ebria, sed non a vino.	21 But now, hear this, O afflicted one, drunk, but not with wine,
22 Haec dicit dominator tuus, Dominus et Deus tuus, qui contendit pro populo suo: “ Ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis, poculum indignationis meae; non adicies, ut bibas illum ultra.	22 Thus says the LORD, your Master, your God, who defends his people: See, I am taking from your hand the cup of staggering; The bowl of my wrath you shall no longer drink.
23 Et ponam illum in manu eorum, qui te humiliaverunt et dixerunt tibi: “Incurvare, ut transeamus”; et ponebas ut terram dorsum tuum et quasi viam transeuntibus ”.	23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, those who ordered you to bow down, that they might walk over you, While you offered your back like the ground, like the street for them to walk on.
