Isaia 66

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Caelum thronus meus, terra autem scabellum pedum meorum. Quae ista domus, quam aedificabitis mihi, et quis iste locus quietis meae?	1 Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What is this house that you would build for me? And what is this place of my rest?
2 Omnia haec manus mea fecit, et mea sunt universa ista, dicit Dominus. Ad hunc autem respiciam, ad pauperculum et contritum spiritu et trementem sermones meos.	2 My hand has made all these things, and all these things have been made, says the Lord. But upon whom will I look with favor, except upon a poor little one, who is contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my words?
3 Qui immolat bovem, interficit virum; qui sacrificat ovem, excerebrat canem; qui offert oblationem, idemque sanguinem suillum; qui adolet incensum, benedicit idolo. Sicut isti elegerunt vias suas, et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectatur,	3 Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.
4 sic ego eligam malam sortem eorum et, quae timebant, adducam eis; quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet, locutus sum, et non audierunt feceruntque malum in oculis meis et, quod displicet mihi, elegerunt ”.	4 Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.
5 Audite verbum Domini, qui tremitis ad verbum eius. Dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos et abicientes vos propter nomen meum: “ Gloriam suam manifestet Dominus, ut videamus laetitiam vestram”; ipsi autem confundentur.	5 Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.
6 Vox clamoris de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.	6 A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!
7 Antequam parturiret, peperit; antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.	7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.
8 Quis audivit umquam tale? Et quis vidit huic simile? Numquid oritur terra in die una, aut parietur gens in momento? Quia parturivit, iam peperit Sion filios suos.	8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.
9 “ Numquid aperiam uterum et parere non faciam? ”, dicit Dominus. “ Aut ego, qui parere facio, uterum claudam? ”, ait Deus tuus.	9 Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?
10 Laetamini cum Ierusalem et exsultate in ea, omnes, qui diligitis eam; gaudete cum ea gaudio, universi, qui lugebatis super eam,	10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all you who love her! Rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her!
11 ut sugatis et repleamini ab ubere consolationis eius, ut mulgeatis et deliciis affluatis ex uberibus gloriae eius.	11 So may you nurse and be filled, from the breasts of her consolations. So may you receive milk and overflow with delights, from every portion of her glory.
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: “ Ecce ego dirigam ad eam quasi fluvium pacem et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam gentium. Sugetis, in ulnis portabimini, et super genua blandientur vobis.	12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will turn a river of peace toward her, with an inundating torrent: the glory of the Gentiles, from which you will nurse. You will be carried at the breasts, and they will caress you upon the knees.
13 Quomodo si quem mater consolatur, ita ego consolabor vos; et in Ierusalem consolabimini.	13 In the manner of one whom a mother caresses, so will I console you. And you will be consoled in Jerusalem.
14 Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt, et manifestabitur manus Domini in servis eius, et indignabitur inimicis suis.	14 You will see, and your heart will be glad, and your bones will flourish like a plant, and the hand of the Lord will be known to his servants, and he will be angry with his enemies.
15 Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet, et quasi turbo quadrigae eius, reddere in indignatione furorem suum et increpationem suam in flamma ignis;	15 For behold, the Lord will arrive with fire, and his four-horse chariots will be like a whirlwind: to render his wrath with indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit et in gladio suo omnem carnem, et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino.	16 For the Lord will divide with fire, and with his sword among all flesh, and those slain by the Lord will be many.
17 Qui sanctificantur et purificantur, ut ingrediantur in hortos post aliquem stantem in medio, qui comedunt carnem suillam et abominationem et murem, simul consumentur, dicit Dominus.	17 Those who were sanctified, who thought themselves to be clean in the gardens behind the inner gate, who were eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they will be consumed all at once, says the Lord.
18 Ego autem cognoscens opera eorum et cogitationes eorum veniam, ut congregemomnes gentes et linguas; et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.	18 But I know their works and their thoughts. I am arriving, so that I may gather them together with all nations and languages. And they will approach, and they will see my glory.
19 Et ponam in eissignum et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad gentes in Tharsis, Phut, Lud,Mosoch, Ros, Thubal et Iavan, ad insulas longinquas, ad eos, qui non audieruntde me et non viderunt gloriam meam, et annuntiabunt gloriam meam gentibus;	19 And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.
20 etadducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis gentibus oblationem Domino, in equiset in quadrigis et in lecticis et in mulis et in dromedariis, ad montem sanctummeum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus: quomodo si inferant filii Israel oblationem invase mundo in domum Domini.	20 And they will lead all of your brothers from all of the Gentiles as a gift to the Lord, on horses, and in four-horse chariots, and on stretchers, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, in the same manner that the sons of Israel would carry an offering in a pure vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes et Levitas, dicitDominus.	21 And I will take from them to be priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 Quia sicut caeli novi et terra nova, quae ego faciam, stabunt coram me, dicit Dominus, sic stabit semen vestrum et nomen vestrum.	22 For in like manner as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will cause to stand before me, says the Lord, so will your offspring and your name stand.
23 Et erit: unoquoque novilunio et quovis sabbato veniet omnis caro, ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.	23 And there will be month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath. And all flesh will approach, so as to adore before my face, says the Lord.
24 Et egredientur et videbunt cadavera virorum, qui praevaricati sunt in me; nam vermis eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non exstinguetur, et erunt abominationi omni carni ”.	24 And they will go out, and they will view the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not be extinguished. And they will be a sight to all flesh even unto revulsion.
