Isaiæ 66

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 the house which you would build for me, and what is the 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 All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine, says the LORD. But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.
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 "He who slaughters an ox is like him who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like him who breaks a dog's neck; he who presents a cereal offering, like him who offers swine's blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like him who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their 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 I also will choose affliction for them, and bring their fears upon them; because, when I called, no one answered, when I spoke they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
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 Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brethren who hate you and cast you out for my name's sake have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy'; but it is they who shall be put to shame.
6 Vox clamoris de civitate, vox de templo, vox Domini reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.	6 "Hark, an uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the LORD, rendering recompense to his enemies!
7 Antequam parturiret, peperit; antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.	7 "Before she was in labor she gave birth; before her pain came upon her she was delivered of a son.
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 heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her sons.
9 “ Numquid aperiam uterum et parere non faciam? ”, dicit Dominus. “ Aut ego, qui parere facio, uterum claudam? ”, ait Deus tuus.	9 Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD; shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb? says 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 be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, 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 that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance 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 extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall suck, you shall be carried upon her hip, and dandled upon her knees.
13 Quomodo si quem mater consolatur, ita ego consolabor vos; et in Ierusalem consolabimini.	13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted 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 shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against 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 come in fire, and his chariots like the stormwind, to render his anger in fury, 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 by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and those slain by the LORD shall 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 sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one in the midst, eating swine's flesh and the abomination and mice, shall come to an end together, 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 "For I know their works and their thoughts, and I am coming to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and shall 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 from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
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 shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their cereal offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.
21 Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes et Levitas, dicitDominus.	21 And some of them also I will take for priests and for 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 as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, says the LORD; so shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 Et erit: unoquoque novilunio et quovis sabbato veniet omnis caro, ut adoret coram facie mea, dicit Dominus.	23 From new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, 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 shall go forth and look on the dead bodies of the men that have rebelled against me; for their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."
