New Revised Standard NRS
1 visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda
1
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me
2
Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.
3 cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit
3
The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.
4 vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum
4
Ah, sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, offspring who do evil, children who deal corruptly, who have forsaken the Lord, who have despised the Holy One of Israel, who are utterly estranged!
5 super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens
5
Why do you seek further beatings? Why do you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 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
6
From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and bleeding wounds; they have not been drained, or bound up, or softened with oil.
7 terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili
7
Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
8 et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur
8
And daughter Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a shelter in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
9 nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus
9
If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we would have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah.
10 audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae
10
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui
11
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.
12 cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis
12
When you come to appear before me, who asked this from your hand? Trample my courts no more;
13 ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri
13
bringing offerings is futile; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath and calling of convocation— I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity.
14 kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens
14
Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt
15
When you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse
16
Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
17 discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam
17
learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.
18 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
18
Come now, let us argue it out, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be like snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis
19
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est
20
but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
21 quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae
21
How the faithful city has become a whore! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her— but now murderers!
22 argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua
22
Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 principes tui infideles socii furum omnes diligunt munera sequuntur retributiones pupillo non iudicant et causa viduae non ingreditur ad eos
23
Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the orphan, and the widow's cause does not come before them.
24 propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis
24
Therefore says the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will pour out my wrath on my enemies, and avenge myself on my foes!
25 et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum
25
I will turn my hand against you; I will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
26 et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis
26
And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia
27
Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness.
28 et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur
28
But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis
29
For you shall be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted; and you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua
30
For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water.
31 et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
31
The strong shall become like tinder, and their work like a spark; they and their work shall burn together, with no one to quench them.
