VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Clama, ne cesses,
quasi tuba exalta vocem tuam,
et annuntia populo meo scelera eorum,
et domui Jacob peccata eorum.
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Me etenim de die in diem quærunt,
et scire vias meas volunt,
quasi gens quæ justitiam fecerit,
et judicium Dei sui non dereliquerit.
Rogant me judicia justitiæ ;
appropinquare Deo volunt.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Quare jejunavimus, et non aspexisti ;
humiliavimus animas nostras, et nescisti ?
Ecce in die jejunii vestri invenitur voluntas vestra,
et omnes debitores vestros repetitis.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Ecce ad lites et contentiones jejunatis,
et percutitis pugno impie.
Nolite jejunare sicut usque ad hanc diem,
ut audiatur in excelso clamor vester.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Numquid tale est jejunium quod elegi,
per diem affligere hominem animam suam ?
numquid contorquere quasi circulum caput suum,
et saccum et cinerem sternere ?
numquid istud vocabis jejunium,
et diem acceptabilem Domino ?
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Nonne hoc est magis jejunium quod elegi ?
Dissolve colligationes impietatis,
solve fasciculos deprimentes,
dimitte eos qui confracti sunt liberos,
et omne onus dirumpe ;
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 frange esurienti panem tuum,
et egenos vagosque induc in domum tuam ;
cum videris nudum, operi eum,
et carnem tuam ne despexeris.
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Tunc erumpet quasi mane lumen tuum ;
et sanitas tua citius orietur,
et anteibit faciem tuam justitia tua,
et gloria Domini colliget te.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9 Tunc invocabis, et Dominus exaudiet ;
clamabis, et dicet : Ecce adsum.
Si abstuleris de medio tui catenam,
et desieris extendere digitum et loqui quod non prodest ;
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 cum effuderis esurienti animam tuam,
et animam afflictam repleveris,
orietur in tenebris lux tua,
et tenebræ tuæ erunt sicut meridies.
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11 Et requiem tibi dabit Dominus semper,
et implebit splendoribus animam tuam,
et ossa tua liberabit ;
et eris quasi hortus irriguus,
et sicut fons aquarum
cujus non deficient aquæ.
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 Et ædificabuntur in te deserta sæculorum,
fundamenta generationis et generationis suscitabis ;
et vocaberis ædificator sepium,
avertens semitas in quietem.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 Si averteris a sabbato pedem tuum
facere voluntatem tuam in die sancto meo,
et vocaveris sabbatum delicatum,
et sanctum Domini gloriosum,
et glorificaveris eum dum non facis vias tuas,
et non invenitur voluntas tua, ut loquaris sermonem :
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 tunc delectaberis super Domino,
et sustollam te super altitudines terræ,
et cibabo te hæreditate Jacob patris tui :
os enim Domini locutum est.
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
