Isaiah 1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

a planta pedis usque ad verticem non est in eo sanitas vulnus et livor et plaga tumens non est circumligata nec curata medicamine neque fota oleo

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

et venite et arguite me dicit Dominus si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum quasi nix dealbabuntur et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus velut lana erunt

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

principes tui infideles socii furum omnes diligunt munera sequuntur retributiones pupillo non iudicant et causa viduae non ingreditur ad eos

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
