The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 haec dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro cuius adprehendi dexteram ut subiciam ante faciem eius gentes et dorsa regum vertam et aperiam coram eo ianuas et portae non cludentur
1
“This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2 ego ante te ibo et gloriosos terrae humiliabo portas aereas conteram et vectes ferreos confringam
2
I will go before you and will level the mountains ; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
3 et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos et arcana secretorum ut scias quia ego Dominus qui voco nomen tuum Deus Israhel
3
I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4 propter servum meum Iacob et Israhel electum meum et vocavi te in nomine tuo adsimilavi te et non cognovisti me
4
For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.
5 ego Dominus et non est amplius extra me non est deus accinxi te et non cognovisti me
5
I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,
6 ut sciant hii qui ab ortu solis et qui ab occidente quoniam absque me non est ego Dominus et non est alter
6
so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7 formans lucem et creans tenebras faciens pacem et creans malum ego Dominus faciens omnia haec
7
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
8 rorate caeli desuper et nubes pluant iustum aperiatur terra et germinet salvatorem et iustitia oriatur simul ego Dominus creavi eum
8
“You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
9 vae qui contradicit fictori suo testa de samiis terrae numquid dicet lutum figulo suo quid facis et opus tuum absque manibus est
9
“Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?
10 vae qui dicit patri quid generas et mulieri quid parturis
10
Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 haec dicit Dominus Sanctus Israhel plastes eius ventura interrogate me super filios meos et super opus manuum mearum mandastis mihi
11
“This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12 ego feci terram et hominem super eam creavi ego manus meae tetenderunt caelos et omni militiae eorum mandavi
12
It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.
13 ego suscitavi eum ad iustitiam et omnes vias eius dirigam ipse aedificabit civitatem meam et captivitatem meam dimittet non in pretio neque in muneribus dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
13
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the LORD Almighty.”
14 haec dicit Dominus labor Aegypti et negotiatio Aethiopiae et Sabaim viri sublimes ad te transibunt et tui erunt post te ambulabunt vincti manicis pergent et te adorabunt teque deprecabuntur tantum in te est Deus et non est absque te deus
14
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,and those tall Sabeans— they will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you, coming over to you in chains. They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying, ‘Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.’ ”
15 vere tu es Deus absconditus Deus Israhel salvator
15
Truly you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel.
16 confusi sunt et erubuerunt omnes simul abierunt in confusione fabricatores errorum
16
All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced; they will go off into disgrace together.
17 Israhel salvatus est in Domino salute aeterna non confundemini et non erubescetis usque in saeculum saeculi
17
But Israel will be saved by the LORDwith an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.
18 quia haec dicit Dominus creans caelos ipse Deus formans terram et faciens eam ipse plastes eius non in vanum creavit eam ut habitetur formavit eam ego Dominus et non est alius
18
For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19 non in abscondito locutus sum in loco terrae tenebroso non dixi semini Iacob frustra quaerite me ego Dominus loquens iustitiam adnuntians recta
19
I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.
20 congregamini et venite et accedite simul qui salvati estis ex gentibus nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturae suae et rogant deum non salvantem
20
“Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.
21 adnuntiate et venite et consiliamini simul quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio ex tunc praedixit illud numquid non ego Dominus et non est ultra Deus absque me Deus iustus et salvans non est praeter me
21
Declare what is to be, present it— let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.
22 convertimini ad me et salvi eritis omnes fines terrae quia ego Deus et non est alius
22
“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 in memet ipso iuravi egredietur de ore meo iustitiae verbum et non revertetur quia mihi curvabunt omnia genu et iurabit omnis lingua
23
By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
24 ergo in Domino dicet meae sunt iustitiae et imperium ad eum venient et confundentur omnes qui repugnant ei

25 in Domino iustificabitur et laudabitur omne semen Israhel
25
But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the LORDand will make their boast in him.
