Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum; electus meus, complacuit sibi in illo anima mea: dedi spiritum meum super eum: judicium gentibus proferet.
1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam, nec audietur vox ejus foris.
2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3Calamum quassatum non conteret, et linum fumigans non extinguet: in veritate educet judicium.
3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus, donec ponat in terra judicium; et legem ejus insulæ exspectabunt.
4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5Hæc dicit Dominus Deus, creans cælos, et extendens eos; formans terram, et quæ germinant ex ea; dans flatum populo qui est super eam, et spiritum calcantibus eam:
5¶ Thus saith God the LORD , he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6Ego Dominus vocavi te in justitia, et apprehendi manum tuam, et servavi te: et dedi te in fœdus populi, in lucem gentium,
6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7ut aperires oculos cæcorum, et educeres de conclusione vinctum, de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.
7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8Ego Dominus, hoc est nomen meum; gloriam meam alteri non dabo, et laudem meam sculptilibus.
8I am the LORD : that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9Quæ prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt; nova quoque ego annuntio: antequam oriantur, audita vobis faciam.]
9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10[Cantate Domino canticum novum, laus ejus ab extremis terræ, qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo ejus; insulæ, et habitatores earum.
10Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11Sublevetur desertum et civitates ejus. In domibus habitabit Cedar: laudate, habitatores petræ; de vertice montium clamabunt.
11Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice , the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12Ponent Domino gloriam, et laudem ejus in insulis nuntiabunt.
12Let them give glory unto the LORD , and declare his praise in the islands.
13Dominus sicut fortis egredietur, sicut vir præliator suscitabit zelum; vociferabitur, et clamabit: super inimicos suos confortabitur.]
13The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14[Tacui semper, silui, patiens fui: sicut parturiens loquar; dissipabo, et absorbebo simul.
14I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15Desertos faciam montes et colles, et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo; et ponam flumina in insulas, et stagna arefaciam.
15I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16Et ducam cæcos in viam quam nesciunt, et in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam; ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem, et prava in recta; hæc verba feci eis, et non dereliqui eos.
16And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17Conversi sunt retrorsum, confundantur confusione, qui confidunt in sculptili; qui dicunt conflatili: Vos dii nostri.
17¶ They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
18Surdi, audite, et cæci, intuemini ad videndum.
18Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19Quis cæcus, nisi servus meus; et surdus, nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi? quis cæcus, nisi qui venundatus est? et quis cæcus, nisi servus Domini?
19Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?
20Qui vides multa, nonne custodies? qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies?
20Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21Et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum, et magnificaret legem, et extolleret.
21The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22Ipse autem populus direptus, et vastatus; laqueus juvenum omnes, et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt; facti sunt in rapinam, nec est qui eruat; in direptionem, nec est qui dicat: Redde.
22But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23Quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc, attendat, et auscultet futura?
23Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24Quis dedit in direptionem Jacob, et Israël vastantibus? nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus? Et noluerunt in viis ejus ambulare, et non audierunt legem ejus.
24Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD , he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui, et forte bellum; et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit; et succendit eum, et non intellexit.]
25Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
