| [1]Audite me, qui sequimini quod justum est, et quæritis Dominum; attendite ad petram unde excisi estis, et ad cavernam laci de qua præcisi estis. |
[1]Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged. |
| [2]Attendite ad Abraham, patrem vestrum, et ad Saram, quæ peperit vos; quia unum vocavi eum, et benedixi ei, et multiplicavi eum. |
[2]Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many. |
| [3]Consolabitur ergo Dominus Sion, et consolabitur omnes ruinas ejus; et ponet desertum ejus quasi delicias, et solitudinem ejus quasi hortum Domini. Gaudium et lætitia invenietur in ea, gratiarum actio et vox laudis. |
[3]For 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. |
| [4]Attendite ad me, popule meus, et, tribus mea, me audite: quia lex a me exiet, et judicium meum in lucem populorum requiescet. |
[4]Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples. |
| [5]Prope est justus meus, egressus est salvator meus, et brachia mea populos judicabunt; me insulæ exspectabunt, et brachium meum sustinebunt. |
[5]My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust. |
| [6]Levate in cælum oculos vestros, et videte sub terra deorsum; quia cæli sicut fumus liquescent, et terra sicut vestimentum atteretur, et habitatores ejus sicut hæc interibunt, salus autem mea in sempiternum erit, et justitia mea non deficiet. |
[6]Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished. |
| [7]Audite me, qui scitis justum: populus meus, lex mea in corde eorum; nolite timere opprobrium hominum, et blasphemias eorum ne metuatis; |
[7]Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings. |
| [8]sicut enim vestimentum, sic comedet eos vermis; et sicut lanam, sic devorabit eos tinea: salus autem mea in sempiternum erit; et justitia mea in generationes generationum. |
[8]For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations. |
| [9]Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudinem, brachium Domini ! Consurge sicut in diebus antiquis, in generationibus sæculorum. Numquid non tu percussisti superbum, vulnerasti draconem? |
[9]Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon? |
| [10]Numquid non tu siccasti mare, aquam abyssi vehementis; qui posuisti profundum maris viam, ut transirent liberati? |
[10]Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? |
| [11]Et nunc qui redempti sunt a Domino, revertentur; et venient in Sion laudantes, et lætitia sempiterna super capita eorum, gaudium et lætitiam tenebunt; fugiet dolor et gemitus. |
[11]And the ransomed of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. |
| [12]Ego, ego ipse consolabor vos. Quis tu, ut timeres ab homine mortali, et a filio hominis qui quasi fœnum ita arescet? |
[12]I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass; |
| [13]Et oblitus es Domini, factoris tui, qui tetendit cælos et fundavit terram; et formidasti jugiter tota die a facie furoris ejus qui te tribulabat, et paraverat ad perdendum. Ubi nunc est furor tribulantis? |
[13]And hast forgotten 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor? |
| [14]Cito veniet gradiens ad aperiendum; et non interficiet usque ad internecionem nec deficiet panis ejus. |
[14]He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. |
| [15]Ego autem sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui conturbo mare, et intumescunt fluctus ejus; Dominus exercituum nomen meum. |
[15]For I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts is His name. |
| [16]Posui verba mea in ore tuo, et in umbra manus meæ protexi te, ut plantes cælos, et fundes terram, et dicas ad Sion: Populus meus es tu. |
[16]And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.' |
| [17]Elevare, elevare, consurge, Jerusalem, quæ bibisti de manu Domini calicem iræ ejus; usque ad fundum calicis soporis bibisti, et potasti usque ad fæces. |
[17]Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it. |
| [18]Non est qui sustentet eam, ex omnibus filiis quos genuit; et non est qui apprehendat manum ejus, ex omnibus filiis quos enutrivit. |
[18]There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up. |
| [19]Duo sunt quæ occurrerunt tibi; quis contristabitur super te? Vastitas, et contritio, et fames, et gladius; quis consolabitur te? |
[19]These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee? |
| [20]Filii tui projecti sunt, dormierunt in capite omnium viarum sicut oryx illaqueatus; pleni indignatione Domini, increpatione Dei tui. |
[20]Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the rebuke of thy God. |
| [21]Idcirco audi hoc, paupercula, et ebria non a vino. |
[21]Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine; |
| [22]Hæc dicit dominator tuus Dominus et Deus tuus, qui pugnabit pro populo suo: Ecce tuli de manu tua calicem soporis, fundum calicis indignationis meæ; non adjicies ut bibas illum ultra. |
[22]Thus saith thy Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again; |
| [23]Et ponam illum in manu eorum qui te humiliaverunt, et dixerunt animæ tuæ: Incurvare, ut transeamus; et posuisti ut terram corpus tuum, et quasi viam transeuntibus. |
[23]And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over. |
