The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 ecce servus meus suscipiam eum electus meus conplacuit sibi in illo anima mea dedi spiritum meum super eum iudicium gentibus proferet
1
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 non clamabit neque accipiet personam nec audietur foris vox eius
2
He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;
3 calamum quassatum non conteret et linum fumigans non extinguet in veritate educet iudicium
3
a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 non erit tristis neque turbulentus donec ponat in terra iudicium et legem eius insulae expectabunt
4
He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus creans caelos et extendens eos firmans terram et quae germinant ex ea dans flatum populo qui est super eam et spiritum calcantibus eam
5
Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it:
6 ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia et adprehendi manum tuam et servavi et dedi te in foedus populi in lucem gentium
6
"I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations,
7 ut aperires oculos caecorum et educeres de conclusione vinctum de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris
7
to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8 ego Dominus hoc est nomen meum gloriam meam alteri non dabo et laudem meam sculptilibus
8
I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images.
9 quae prima fuerant ecce venerunt nova quoque ego adnuntio antequam oriantur audita vobis faciam
9
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."
10 cantate Domino canticum novum laus eius ab extremis terrae qui descenditis in mare et plenitudo eius insulae et habitatores earum
10
Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth! Let the sea roar and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.
11 sublevetur desertum et civitates eius in domibus habitabit Cedar laudate habitatores Petrae de vertice montium clamabunt
11
Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 ponent Domino gloriam et laudem eius in insulis nuntiabunt
12
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.
13 Dominus sicut fortis egredietur sicut vir proeliator suscitabit zelum vociferabitur et clamabit super inimicos suos confortabitur
13
The LORD goes forth like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his fury; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.
14 tacui semper silui patiens fui sicut pariens loquar dissipabo et absorbebo simul
14
For a long time I have held my peace, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in travail, I will gasp and pant.
15 desertos faciam montes et colles et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo et ponam flumina in insulas et stagna arefaciam
15
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbage; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools.
16 et ducam caecos in via quam nesciunt in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem et prava in recta haec verba feci eis et non dereliqui eos
16
And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
17 conversi sunt retrorsum confundantur confusione qui confidunt in sculptili qui dicunt conflatili vos dii nostri
17
They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, "You are our gods."
18 surdi audite et caeci intuemini ad videndum
18
Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see!
19 quis caecus nisi servus meus et surdus nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi quis caecus nisi qui venundatus est quis caecus nisi servus Domini
19
Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the LORD?
20 qui vides multa nonne custodies qui apertas habes aures nonne audies
20
He sees many things, but does not observe them; his ears are open, but he does not hear.
21 et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum et magnificaret legem et extolleret
21
The LORD was pleased, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify his law and make it glorious.
22 ipse autem populus direptus et vastatus laqueus iuvenum omnes et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt facti sunt in rapinam nec est qui eruat in direptionem et non est qui dicat redde
22
But this is a people robbed and plundered, they are all of them trapped in holes and hidden in prisons; they have become a prey with none to rescue, a spoil with none to say, "Restore!"
23 quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc adtendat et auscultet futura
23
Who among you will give ear to this, will attend and listen for the time to come?
24 quis dedit in direptionem Iacob et Israhel vastantibus nonne Dominus ipse cui peccavimus et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare et non audierunt legem eius
24
Who gave up Jacob to the spoiler, and Israel to the robbers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose law they would not obey?
25 et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui et forte bellum et conbusit eum in circuitu et non cognovit et succendit eum et non intellexit
25
So he poured upon him the heat of his anger and the might of battle; it set him on fire round about, but he did not understand; it burned him, but he did not take it to heart.
