Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 1

¹ THE vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda
² Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me.
³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.
⁴ Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.
⁵ For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
⁶ From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.
⁷ Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.
⁸ And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
⁹ Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
¹⁰ Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
¹¹ To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
¹² When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?
¹³ Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination tome. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
¹⁴ My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
¹⁷ Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
¹⁸ And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.
¹⁹ if you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
²⁰ But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
²¹ How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
²² Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
²³ Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow's cometh not in to them.
²⁴ Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
²⁵ And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.
²⁶ And I will restore thy judges se they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
²⁷ Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
²⁸ And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
²⁹ For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
³⁰ When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.
³¹ And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.

Chapter 1

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
⁵ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
⁶ From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
⁷ Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
⁹ Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.
¹⁰ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them.
¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
¹⁷ Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
¹⁹ If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
²¹ How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
²² Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
²³ Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
²⁴ Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
²⁵ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
²⁶ And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
²⁸ And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
³⁰ For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
³¹ And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

⁵ should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
⁶ the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
⁷ country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
⁸ daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
⁹ Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom; we would have been like Gomorrah.
¹⁰ the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
¹¹ are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
¹² you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
¹³ no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.
¹⁴ soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

²⁵ I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.
⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.

⁷ Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.
⁹ Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!
¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand -- to tread my courts?
¹³ Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, -- new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations -- wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
¹⁴ Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them].
¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

²⁵ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;

²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
²⁸ But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

Isaiah - basic english

Chapter 1

¹ The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
² Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
³ Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
⁴ O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
⁵ Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
⁶ The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
⁷ Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
⁸ And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
⁹ If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
¹⁰ Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
¹¹ What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
¹² At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
¹³ Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
¹⁴ Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
¹⁵ And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶ Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
¹⁷ Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
¹⁸ Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
¹⁹ If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
²⁰ But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
²¹ The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
²² Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
²³ Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
²⁴ For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
²⁵ And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
²⁶ And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
²⁷ Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
²⁸ But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
²⁹ For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
³⁰ For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
³¹ And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
