65:1 Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant ; invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me. Dixi : Ecce ego, ecce ego, ad gentem quæ non invocabat nomen meum.

65:1 They have sought me that before asked not for me, they have found me that sought me not. I said: Behold me, behold me, to a nation that did not call upon my name.

65:2 Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.

65:2 I have spread forth my hands all the day to an unbelieving people, who walk in a way that is not good after their own thoughts.

65:3 Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper ; qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres ;

65:3 A people that continually provoke me to anger before my face, that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice upon bricks.

65:4 qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt ; qui comedunt carnem suillam, et jus profanum in vasis eorum ;

65:4 That dwell in sepulchres, and sleep in the temple of idols: that eat swine's flesh, and profane broth is in their vessels.

65:5 qui dicunt : Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es. Isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.

65:5 That say: Depart from me, come not near me, because thou art unclean: these shall be smoke in my anger, a fire burning all the day.

65:6 Ecce scriptum est coram me : Non tacebo, sed reddam, et retribuam in sinum eorum.

65:6 Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.

65:7 Iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul, dicit Dominus ; qui sacrificaverunt super montes, et super colles exprobraverunt mihi ; et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.

65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have sacrificed upon the mountains, and have reproached me upon the hills; and I will measure back their first work in their bosom.

65:8 Hæc dicit Dominus : Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur : Ne dissipes illud, quoniam benedictio est : sic faciam propter servos meos, ut non disperdam totum.

65:8 Thus saith the Lord: As if a grain be found in a cluster, and it be said: Destroy it not, because it is a blessing: so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I may not destroy the whole.

65:9 Et educam de Jacob semen, et de Juda possidentem montes meos ; et hæreditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.

65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Juda a possessor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

65:10 Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum, populo meo qui requisierunt me.

65:10 And the plains shall be turned to folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor into a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

65:11 Et vos qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam :

65:11 And you, that have forsaken the Lord, that have forgotten my holy mount, that set a table for fortune, and offer libations upon it,

65:12 numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in cæde corruetis : pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis ; locutus sum, et non audistis ; et faciebatis malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui elegistis.

65:12 I will number you in the sword, and you shall all fall by slaughter: because I called and you did not answer: I spoke, and you did not hear: and you did evil in my eyes, and you have chosen the things that displease me.

65:13 Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis ; ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis ;

65:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my servants shall eat, and you shall be hungry: behold my servants shall drink, and you shall be thirsty.

65:14 ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini ; ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exsultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis, et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis,

65:14 Behold my servants shall rejoice, and you shall be confounded: behold my servants shall praise for joyfulness of heart, and you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for grief of spirit.

65:15 et dimittetis nomen vestrum in juramentum electis meis ; et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio :

65:15 And you shall leave your name for an execration to my elect: and the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.

65:16 in quo qui benedictus est super terram benedicetur in Deo, amen, et qui jurat in terra jurabit in Deo, amen : quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores, et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.

65:16 In which he that is blessed upon the earth, shall be blessed in God, amen: and he that sweareth in the earth, shall swear by God, amen: because the former distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

65:17 Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam ; et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.

65:17 For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former things shall not be in remembrance, and they shall not come upon the heart.

65:18 Sed gaudebitis et exsultabitis usque in sempiternum in his quæ ego creo : quia ecce ego creo Jerusalem exsultationem, et populum ejus gaudium.

65:18 But you shall be glad and rejoice for ever in these things, which I create: for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and the people thereof joy.

65:19 Et exsultabo in Jerusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo, et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.

65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

65:20 Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos, quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.

65:20 There shall no more be an infant of days there, nor an old man that shall not fill up his days: for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.

65:21 Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt ; et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.

65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them.

65:22 Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit ; non plantabunt, et alius comedet : secundum enim dies ligni erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt.

65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of my people, and the works of their hands shall be of long continuance.

65:23 Electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione, quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.

65:23 My elect shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth in trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity with them.

65:24 Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam ; adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.

65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear.

65:25 Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas, et serpenti pulvis panis ejus. Non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.

65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together; the lion and the ox shall eat straw; and dust shall be the serpent's food: they shall not hurt nor kill in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
