Isaiah 26

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.	1 In die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Juda : Urbs fortitudinis nostræ Sion ; salvator ponetur in ea murus et antemurale.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.	2 Aperite portas, et ingrediatur gens justa, custodiens veritatem.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.	3 Vetus error abiit : servabis pacem ; pacem, quia in te speravimus.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.	4 Sperastis in Domino in sæculis æternis ; in Domino Deo forti in perpetuum.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.	5 Quia incurvabit habitantes in excelso ; civitatem sublimem humiliabit : humiliabit eam usque ad terram, detrahet eam usque ad pulverem.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.	6 Conculcabit eam pes, pedes pauperis, gressus egenorum.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.	7 Semita justi recta est, rectus callis justi ad ambulandum.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.	8 Et in semita judiciorum tuorum, Domine, sustinuimus te : nomen tuum et memoriale tuum in desiderio animæ.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.	9 Anima mea desideravit te in nocte, sed et spiritu meo in præcordiis meis de mane vigilabo ad te. Cum feceris judicia tua in terra, justitiam discent habitatores orbis.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.	10 Misereamur impio, et non discet justitiam ; in terra sanctorum iniqua gessit, et non videbit gloriam Domini.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.	11 Domine, exaltetur manus tua, et non videant ; videant, et confundantur zelantes populi ; et ignis hostes tuos devoret.
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.	12 Domine, dabis pacem nobis : omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.	13 Domine Deus noster, possederunt nos domini absque te ; tantum in te recordemur nominis tui.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.	14 Morientes non vivant, gigantes non resurgant : propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos, et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.	15 Indulsisti genti, Domine, indulsisti genti, numquid glorificatus es ? elongasti omnes terminos terræ.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.	16 Domine, in angustia requisierunt te, in tribulatione murmuris doctrina tua eis.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.	17 Sicut quæ concipit, cum appropinquaverit ad partum, dolens clamat in doloribus suis, sic facti sumus a facie tua, Domine.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.	18 Concepimus, et quasi parturivimus, et peperimus spiritum. Salutes non fecimus in terra ; ideo non ceciderunt habitatores terræ.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.	19 Vivent mortui tui, interfecti mei resurgent. Expergiscimini, et laudate, qui habitatis in pulvere, quia ros lucis ros tuus, et terram gigantum detrahes in ruinam.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.	20 Vade, populus meus, intra in cubicula tua ; claude ostia tua super te, abscondere modicum ad momentum, donec pertranseat indignatio.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.	21 Ecce enim Dominus egredietur de loco suo, ut visitet iniquitatem habitatoris terræ contra eum ; et revelabit terra sanguinem suum, et non operiet ultra interfectos suos.
