| 1 | Iles, faites silence pour m'écouter ! Que les peuples raniment leur force, Qu'ils avancent, et qu'ils parlent ! Approchons pour plaider ensemble. | Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. | Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. | Isole, state in silenzio! Riprendano nuove forze i popoli, si avvicinino e poi parlino. Raduniamoci insieme a giudizio! |
| 2 | Qui a suscité de l'orient Celui que le salut appelle à sa suite ? Qui lui a livré les nations et assujetti des rois ? Qui a réduit leur glaive en poussière, Et leur arc en un chaume qui s'envole ? | Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. | Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow. | Chi ha suscitato uno dall'est, chiamandolo ai suoi piedi nella giustizia? Chi gli ha consegnato le nazioni e sottomesso i re? Egli li dà come polvere alla sua spada e come stoppia dispersa al suo arco. |
| 3 | Il s'est mis à leur poursuite, il a parcouru avec bonheur Un chemin que son pied n'avait jamais foulé. | He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. | He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet. | Egli insegue e procede sicuro per una strada sulla quale i suoi piedi non sono mai passati. |
| 4 | Qui a fait et exécuté ces choses ? C'est celui qui a appelé les générations dès le commencement, Moi, l'Éternel, le premier Et le même jusqu'aux derniers âges. | Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. | Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he. | Chi ha operato e compiuto questo, chiamando le generazioni fin dal principio? Io, l'Eterno, sono il primo e con gli ultimi sarò sempre lo stesso. |
| 5 | Les îles le voient, et sont dans la crainte, Les extrémités de la terre tremblent : Ils s'approchent, ils viennent. | The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. | The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come. | Le isole lo vedono e sono prese da paura, le estremità della terra tremano; si avvicinano, arrivano. |
| 6 | Ils s'aident l'un l'autre, Et chacun dit à son frère : Courage ! | They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. | They help every one his neighbor; and [every one] saith to his brother, Be of good courage. | Ognuno aiuta il suo compagno e dice al proprio fratello: Coraggio!. |
| 7 | Le sculpteur encourage le fondeur ; Celui qui polit au marteau encourage celui qui frappe sur l'enclume ; Il dit de la soudure : Elle est bonne ! Et il fixe l'idole avec des clous, pour qu'elle ne branle pas. | So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. | So the carpenter encourageth the goldsmith, [and] he that smootheth with the hammer him that smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fasteneth it with nails, that is should not be moved. | Il fabbro incoraggia l'orafo e chi rifinisce col martello incoraggia chi batte l'incudine e dice della saldatura: Va bene e la rinforza con chiodi, perché non si smuova. |
| 8 | Mais toi, Israël, mon serviteur, Jacob, que j'ai choisi, Race d'Abraham que j'ai aimé ! | But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. | But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend, | Ma tu, Israele, mio servo, Giacobbe che io ho scelto, progenie di Abrahamo, mio amico |
| 9 | Toi, que j'ai pris aux extrémités de la terre, Et que j'ai appelé d'une contrée lointaine, A qui j'ai dit : Tu es mon serviteur, Je te choisis, et ne te rejette point ! | Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. | thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away; | te che ho preso dalle estremità della terra, che ho chiamato dagli angoli più remoti di essa e ti ho detto: "Tu sei il mio servo, ti ho scelto e non ti ho rigettato |
| 10 | Ne crains rien, car je suis avec toi ; Ne promène pas des regards inquiets, car je suis ton Dieu ; Je te fortifie, je viens à ton secours, Je te soutiens de ma droite triomphante. | Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. | Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. | Non temere, perché io sono con te non smarrirti, perché io sono il tuo DIO. Io ti fortifico e anche ti aiuto e ti sostengo con la destra della mia giustizia. |
| 11 | Voici, ils seront confondus, ils seront couverts de honte, Tous ceux qui sont irrités contre toi ; Ils seront réduits à rien, ils périront, Ceux qui disputent contre toi. | Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. | Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be put to shame and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish. | Ecco, tutti quelli che si sono infuriati contro di te saranno svergognati e confusi; quelli che combattono contro di te saranno ridotti a nulla e periranno. |
| 12 | Tu les chercheras, et ne les trouveras plus, Ceux qui te suscitaient querelle ; Ils seront réduits à rien, réduits au néant, Ceux qui te faisaient la guerre. | Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. | Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. | Tu li cercherai ma non troverai più quelli che contendevano con te; quelli che ti facevano guerra saranno come nulla, come cosa che non esiste più. |
| 13 | Car je suis l'Éternel, ton Dieu, Qui fortifie ta droite, Qui te dis : Ne crains rien, Je viens à ton secours. | For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. | For I, Jehovah thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. | Poiché io, l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, ti prendo per la mano destra e ti dico: "Non temere, io ti aiuto" |
| 14 | Ne crains rien, vermisseau de Jacob, Faible reste d'Israël ; Je viens à ton secours, dit l'Éternel, Et le Saint d'Israël est ton sauveur. | Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. | Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith Jehovah, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. | Non temere, o verme di Giacobbe, o uomini d'Israele! Io ti aiuto dice l'Eterno; Il tuo Redentore è il Santo d'Israele. |
| 15 | Voici, je fais de toi un traîneau aigu, tout neuf, Garni de pointes ; Tu écraseras, tu broieras les montagnes, Et tu rendras les collines semblables à de la balle. | Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. | Behold, I have made thee [to be] a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. | Ecco, io ti faccio una trebbia nuova con denti acuminati; tu trebbierai i monti e li ridurrai in polvere, e renderai le colline come la pula. |
| 16 | Tu les vanneras, et le vent les emportera, Et un tourbillon les dispersera. Mais toi, tu te réjouiras en l'Éternel, Tu mettras ta gloire dans le Saint d'Israël. | Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. | Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. | Tu li ventilerai, il vento li porterà via e il turbine li disperderà; ma tu giubilerai nell'Eterno e ti glorierai nel Santo d'Israele. |
| 17 | Les malheureux et les indigents cherchent de l'eau, et il n'y en a point ; Leur langue est desséchée par la soif. Moi, l'Éternel, je les exaucerai ; Moi, le Dieu d'Israël, je ne les abandonnerai pas. | When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. | The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I, Jehovah, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. | I miseri e poveri cercano acqua, ma non ce n'è; la loro lingua è riarsa per la sete; io, l'Eterno, li esaudirò; io, il DIO d'Israele, non li abbandonerò. |
| 18 | Je ferai jaillir des fleuves sur les collines, Et des sources au milieu des vallées ; Je changerai le désert en étang, Et la terre aride en courants d'eau ; | I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. | I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. | Farò scaturire fiumi sulle colline brulle, e fonti in mezzo alle valli; farò del deserto un lago d'acqua e della terra arida sorgenti d'acqua. |
| 19 | Je mettrai dans le désert le cèdre, l'acacia, Le myrte et l'olivier ; Je mettrai dans les lieux stériles Le cyprès, l'orme et le buis, tous ensemble ; | I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: | I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together: | Pianterò nel deserto il cedro, l'acacia, il mirto e l'ulivo; metterò nell'Arabah, il cipresso, l'olmo e l'abete, |
| 20 | Afin qu'ils voient, qu'ils sachent, Qu'ils observent et considèrent Que la main de l'Éternel a fait ces choses, Que le Saint d'Israël en est l'auteur. | That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. | that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. | affinché vedano, sappiano, considerino e comprendano tutti assieme che la mano dell'Eterno ha operato questo e il Santo d'Israele l'ha creato. |
| 21 | Plaidez votre cause, Dit l'Éternel ; Produisez vos moyens de défense, Dit le roi de Jacob. | Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. | Produce your cause, saith Jehovah; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. | Presentate la vostra causa, dice l'Eterno, esponete le vostre ragioni, dice il Re di Giacobbe. |
| 22 | Qu'ils les produisent, et qu'ils nous déclarent Ce qui doit arriver. Quelles sont les prédictions que jadis vous avez faites ? Dites-le, pour que nous y prenions garde, Et que nous en reconnaissions l'accomplissement ; Ou bien, annoncez-nous l'avenir. | Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. | Let them bring forth, and declare unto us what shall happen: declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come. | Le espongano e ci annuncino ciò che accadrà. Dichiarino quali erano le cose passate, perché le possiamo considerare e conoscerne il compimento; oppure annunciateci ciò che avverrà. |
| 23 | Dites ce qui arrivera plus tard, Pour que nous sachions si vous êtes des dieux ; Faites seulement quelque chose de bien ou de mal, Pour que nous le voyions et le regardions ensemble. | Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. | Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. | Annunciate ciò che avverrà nel futuro, e così sapremo che siete dèi; sì, fate del bene o del male affinché rimaniamo sbigottiti nel vederlo insieme. |
| 24 | Voici, vous n'êtes rien, Et votre oeuvre est le néant ; C'est une abomination que de se complaire en vous. | Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. | Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you. | Ecco, voi siete un nulla e la vostra opera è niente; chi vi sceglie è un abominio. |
| 25 | Je l'ai suscité du septentrion, et il est venu ; De l'orient, il invoque mon nom ; Il foule les puissants comme de la boue, Comme de l'argile que foule un potier. | I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. | I have raised up one from the north, and he is come; from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon my name: and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay. | Io ho suscitato uno dal nord, ed egli verrà, dall'est egli invocherà il mio nome; calpesterà i principi come creta, come il vasaio calca l'argilla. |
| 26 | Qui l'a annoncé dès le commencement, pour que nous le sachions, Et longtemps d'avance, pour que nous disions : C'est vrai ? Nul ne l'a annoncé, nul ne l'a prédit, Et personne n'a entendu vos paroles. | Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. | Who hath declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] right? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that showeth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. | Chi ha annunciato questo fin dal principio perché lo sapessimo, molto prima perché potessimo dire: "E' giusto"? Ma non c'è nessuno che abbia annunciato questo, nessuno che l'abbia proclamato, nessuno che abbia udito le vostre parole. |
| 27 | C'est moi le premier qui ai dit à Sion : Les voici, les voici ! Et à Jérusalem : J'envoie un messager de bonnes nouvelles ! | The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. | [I am the] first [that saith] unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. | Per primo io l'ho annunciato a Sion: Guardate, eccoli! e a Gerusalemme ho inviato un messaggero di buone novelle. |
| 28 | Je regarde, et il n'y a personne, Personne parmi eux qui prophétise, Et qui puisse répondre, si je l'interroge. | For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. | And when I look, there is no man: even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word. | Guardai, ma non c'era nessuno, proprio nessuno tra loro che sapesse dare un consiglio, o che, interrogato, potesse darmi una risposta. |
| 29 | Voici, ils ne sont tous que vanité, Leurs oeuvres ne sont que néant, Leurs idoles ne sont qu'un vain souffle. | Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion. | Behold, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nought; their molten images are wind and confusion. | Ecco, tutti costoro sono vanità; le loro opere sono un nulla e le loro statue sono vento e cose di nessun valore. |
