| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. | Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum; electus meus, complacuit sibi in illo anima mea: dedi spiritum meum super eum: iudicium gentibus proferet. |
| 2 | He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad. | Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam, nec audietur vox eius foris. |
| 3 | The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. | Calamum quassatum non conteret, et linum fumigans non extinguet: in veritate educet iudicium. |
| 4 | He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law. | Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus, donec ponat in terra iudicium; et legem eius insulae exspectabunt. |
| 5 | Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon. | Haec dicit Dominus Deus, creans caelos, et extendens eos; formans terram, et quae germinant ex ea; dans flatum populo qui est super eam, et spiritum calcantibus eam: |
| 6 | I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles: | Ego Dominus vocavi te in iustitia, et apprehendi manum tuam, et servavi te: et dedi te in foedus populi, in lucem gentium, |
| 7 | That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. | ut aperires oculos caecorum, et educeres de conclusione vinctum, de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris. |
| 8 | I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things. | Ego Dominus, hoc est nomen meum; gloriam meam alteri non dabo, et laudem meam sculptilibus. |
| 9 | The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them. | Quae prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt; nova quoque ego annuntio: antequam oriantur, audita vobis faciam. |
| 10 | Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them. | Cantate Domino canticum novum, laus eius ab extremis terrae, qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo eius; insulae, et habitatores earum. |
| 11 | Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains. | Sublevetur desertum et civitates eius. In domibus habitabit Cedar: laudate, habitatores petrae; de vertice montium clamabunt. |
| 12 | They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands. | Ponent Domino gloriam, et laudem eius in insulis nuntiabunt. |
| 13 | The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies. | Dominus sicut fortis egredietur, sicut vir praeliator suscitabit zelum; vociferabitur, et clamabit: super inimicos suos confortabitur. |
| 14 | I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once. | Tacui semper, silui, patiens fui: sicut parturiens loquar; dissipabo, et absorbebo simul. |
| 15 | I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools. | Desertos faciam montes et colles, et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo; et ponam flumina in insulas, et stagna arefaciam. |
| 16 | And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them. | Et ducam caecos in viam quam nesciunt, et 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. |
| 17 | They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god. | Conversi sunt retrorsum, confundantur confusione, qui confidunt in sculptili; qui dicunt conflatili: Vos dii nostri. |
| 18 | Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see. | Surdi, audite, et caeci, intuemini ad videndum. |
| 19 | Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord? | Quis caecus, nisi servus meus; et surdus, nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi? quis caecus, nisi qui venundatus est? et quis caecus, nisi servus Domini? |
| 20 | Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear? | Qui vides multa, nonne custodies? qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies? |
| 21 | And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it. | Et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum, et magnificaret legem, et extolleret. |
| 22 | But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore. | 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, nec est qui dicat: Redde. |
| 23 | Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come? | Quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc, attendat, et auscultet futura? |
| 24 | Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law. | Quis dedit in direptionem Iacob, et Israël vastantibus? nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus? Et noluerunt in viis eius ambulare, et non audierunt legem eius. |
| 25 | And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not. | Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui, et forte bellum; et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit; et succendit eum, et non intellexit. |
