1Audite me, qui sequimini quod justum est, et quæritis Dominum; attendite ad petram unde excisi estis, et ad cavernam laci de qua præcisi estis.
Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.
Audi me, qui seque quod iusto es, et quaere Domino; attende ad petra unde excaeda es, et ad caverna de lacu de quo praecide es.
2Attendite ad Abraham, patrem vestrum, et ad Saram, quæ peperit vos: quia unum vocavi eum, et benedixi ei, et multiplicavi eum.
Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
Attende ad Abrahame, patre vestro, et ad Sarame, que pare vos: quia uno voca illo, et benedic ad illo, et multiplica illo.
3Consolabitur ergo Dominus Sion, et consolabitur omnes ruinas ejus: et ponet desertum ejus quasi delicias, et solitudinem ejus quasi hortum Domini. Gaudium et lætitia invenietur in ea, gratiarum actio et vox laudis.
The Lord therefore will comfort Sion, and will comfort all the ruins thereof: and he will make her desert as a place of pleasure, and her wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise.
Domino ergo Sione consola, et consola omni ruinas de illo: et pone deserto de illo quasi delicias, et solitudine de illo quasi horto de Domino. Gaudio et laetitia inveni in illa, de gratias actione et voce de laude.
4Attendite ad me, popule meus, et tribus mea, me audite: quia lex a me exiet, et judicium meum in lucem populorum requiescet.
Hearken unto me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my tribes: for a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment shall rest to be a light of the nations.
Attende ad me, popule meo, et tre meo, me audi: quia lege ab me exi, et iudicio meo in luce de populos requiesce.
5Prope est justus meus, egressus est salvator meus, et brachia mea populos judicabunt; me insulæ exspectabunt, et brachium meum sustinebunt.
My just one is near at hand, my saviour is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people: the islands shall look for me, and shall patiently wait for my arm.
Prope es iusto meo, egredior es salvatore meo, et brachios meo iudica populos; me insulas expecta, et brachio meo sustine.
6Levate in cælum oculos vestros, et videte sub terra deorsum: quia cæli sicut fumus liquescent, et terra sicut vestimentum atteretur, et habitatores ejus sicut hæc interibunt: salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et justitia mea non deficiet.
Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not fail.
Leva in caelo oculos vestro, et vide sub terra deorsum: quia de caelo sicut fumo liquesce, et terra sicut vestimento attere, et habitatores de illo sicut hoc salute: autem meo interi in sempiterno es, et iustitia meo non defice.
7Audite me, qui scitis justum, populus meus, lex mea in corde eorum: nolite timere opprobrium hominum, et blasphemias eorum ne metuatis:
Hearken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have my law in your heart: fear ye not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their blasphemies.
Audi me, qui sci iusto, populo meo, lege meo in corde de illos: ne vol time opprobrio de homines, et blasphemias de illos ne metue:
8sicut enim vestimentum, sic comedet eos vermis, et sicut lanam, sic devorabit eos tinea: salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et justitia mea in generationes generationum.
For the worm shall eat them up as a garment: and the moth shall consume them as wool: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice from generation to generation.
Sicut nam vestimento, sic verme comede illos, et sicut lana, sic devora illos tinea: salute autem meo in sempiterno es, et iustitia meo in generationes de generationes.
9Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudinem, brachium Domini! consurge sicut in diebus antiquis, in generationibus sæculorum. Numquid non tu percussisti superbum, vulnerasti draconem?
Arise, arise, put on strength, O thou arm of the Lord, arise as in the days of old, in the ancient generations. Hast not thou struck the proud one, and wounded the dragon?
Consurge, consurge, indue fortitudine, brachio de Domino! Consurge sicut in dies antiquo, in generationes de saeculos. Numquid non te percute superbo, vulnera dracone?
10numquid non tu siccasti mare, aquam abyssi vehementis; qui posuisti profundum maris viam, ut transirent liberati?
Hast not thou dried up the sea, the water of the mighty deep, who madest the depth of the sea a way, that the delivered might pass over?
Numquid non te sicca mari, aqua de abysso vehementi; qui pone profundo de mari via, ut transi libera?
11Et nunc qui redempti sunt a Domino, revertentur, et venient in Sion laudantes, et lætitia sempiterna super capita eorum: gaudium et lætitiam tenebunt; fugiet dolor et gemitus.
And now they that are redeemed by the Lord, shall return, and shall come into Sion singing praises, and joy everlasting shall be upon their heads, they shall obtain joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Et nunc qui redime es ab Domino, reverte, et veni in Sione lauda, et laetitia sempiterno super capites de illos: gaudio et laetitia tene; dolore et gemitus fuge.
12Ego, ego ipse consolabor vos. Quis tu, ut timeres ab homine mortali, et a filio hominis qui quasi fœnum ita arescet?
I myself will comfort you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man, and of the son of man, who shall wither away like grass?
Me, me ipso consola vos. Qui te, ut time ab homine mortali, et ab filio de homine qui quasi foeno ita aresce?
13Et oblitus es Domini, factoris tui, qui tetendit cælos et fundavit terram; et formidasti jugiter tota die a facie furoris ejus qui te tribulabat, et paraverat ad perdendum. Ubi nunc est furor tribulantis?
And thou hast forgotten the Lord thy maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth: and thou hast been afraid continually all the day at the presence of his fury who afflicted thee, and had prepared himself to destroy thee: where is now the fury of the oppressor?
Et oblina es de Domino, de factore tuo, qui tete caelos et funde terra; et formido iugiter toto die ab facie de furore de illo qui tribula te, et para ad perde. Ubi nunc furore tribula es?
14Cito veniet gradiens ad aperiendum; et non interficiet usque ad internecionem, nec deficiet panis ejus.
He shall quickly come that is going to open unto you, and he shall not kill unto utter destruction, neither shall his bread fail.
Cito veni grada ad aperi; et non interfice usque ad internecione, nec pane de illo defice.
15Ego autem sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui conturbo mare, et intumescunt fluctus ejus: Dominus exercituum nomen meum.
But I am the Lord thy God, who trouble the sea, and the waves thereof swell: the Lord of hosts is my name.
Me autem es Domino Deo tuo, qui conturba mari, et intumesce fluctus de illo: domino de exercitus nomine meo.
16Posui verba mea in ore tuo, et in umbra manus meæ protexi te, ut plantes cælos, et fundes terram, et dicas ad Sion: Populus meus es tu.
I have put my words in thy mouth, and have protected thee in the shadow of my hand, that thou mightest plant the heavens, and found the earth: and mightest say to Sion: Thou art my people.
Pone verbos meo in ore tuo, et in umbra manus meo protige te, ut planta caelos, et funde terra, et dic ad Sione: populo meo es te.
17Elevare, elevare, consurge, Jerusalem, quæ bibisti de manu Domini calicem iræ ejus; usque ad fundum calicis soporis bibisti, et potasti usque ad fæces.
Arise, arise, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunk even to the bottom of the cup of dead sleep, and thou hast drunk even to the dregs.
Eleva, eleva, consurge, Ierusalem, que bibe de manu de Domino calice de ira de illo; usque ad fundo de calice de sopore bibe, et pota usque ad faeces.
18Non est qui sustentet eam, ex omnibus filiis quos genuit; et non est qui apprehendat manum ejus, ex omnibus filiis quos enutrivit.
There is none that can uphold her among all the children that she hath brought forth: and there is none that taketh her by the hand among all the children that she hath brought up.
Non es qui sustenta illa, ex omni filios que gene; et non es qui apprehende manu de illo, ex omni filios que enutrie.
19Duo sunt quæ occurrerunt tibi; quis contristabitur super te? Vastitas, et contritio, et fames, et gladius; quis consolabitur te?
There are two things that have happened to thee: who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword, who shall comfort thee?
Duo es que occurre ad te; qui contrista super te? Vastitate, et contritione, et fame, et gladio; qui consola te?
20Filii tui projecti sunt, dormierunt in capite omnium viarum sicut oryx illaqueatus, pleni indignatione Domini, increpatione Dei tui.
Thy children are cast forth, they have slept at the head of all the ways, and the wild ox that is snared: full of the indignation of the Lord, of the rebuke of thy God.
Filios tuo proicie es, dormi in capite de omni de vias sicut oryge illaquea, plena indignatione de Domino, increpatione de Deo tuo.
21Idcirco audi hoc, paupercula, et ebria non a vino.
Therefore hear this, thou poor little one, and thou that art drunk but not with wine.
Ergo audi hoc, paupercula, et ebrio non ab vino.
22Hæc dicit dominator tuus Dominus, et Deus tuus, qui pugnabit pro populo suo: Ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis, fundum calicis indignationis meæ: non adjicies ut bibas illum ultra.
Thus saith thy Sovereign the Lord, and thy God, who will fight for his people: Behold I have taken out of thy hand the cup of dead sleep, the dregs of the cup of my indignation, thou shalt not drink it again any more.
Hoc dic dominatore tuo Domino, et Deo tuo, qui pugna pro populo suo: ecce fer de manu tuo calice de sopore, fundo de calice de indignatione meo: non adicie ut bibe illo ultra.
23Et ponam illum in manu eorum qui te humiliaverunt, et dixerunt animæ tuæ: Incurvare, ut transeamus; et posuisti ut terram corpus tuum, et quasi viam transeuntibus.
And I will put it in the hand of them that have oppressed thee, and have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as a way to them that went over.
Et pone illo in manu de illos qui humilia te, et dic animas tuo: incurvare, ut transi; et pone ut terra corpore tuo, et quasi via transi.
