Commentary on Isaiah Volume 2 John Calvin (continued)
COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH
17. Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army, and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
17. Quum educit, currus et equus, exercitus et robur simul jacent, ut non surgant. Extincti sunt; sicut linum extincti sunt.
18. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
18. Ne reeordemini priorum, et antiqua ne memoretis. 19. Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
19. Ecce ego facio rem novato; jam orietur; an non earn cognoscetis? Hac vice (vel, utique) ponam in deserto viam; flumina in solitudine.
20. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
20. Honorabit me bestia agri; dracones, et pulli struthionis; quia dederim in deserto aquas, flumina in solitudine, ad potandum populum meum, electum meum.
21. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. 21. Populum hunc creavi mihi; laudem meam narrabit. 22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
22. Et non me invocasti, Iacob; quin fatigatus es in me, Israel. 23. Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
23. Non adduxisti mihi pecus holocaustorum tuorum, et sacrificiis tuis non honorasti me; non feci to servire in oblatione, nec laborare in suffitu.
24. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
24. Non emisti mihi pecunia calamum, nec adipe victimarum tuarum inebriasti me; sed me servire fecisti in peccatis tuis, et me laborare fecisti in iniquitatibus tuis.
25. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
25. Ego, ego sum qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me; ideo peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
26. Reduc mihi in memoriam; judicemur simul; narra tu, ut justificeris. 27. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
27. Pater tuus primus peceavit, et doctores tui in me praevaricati sunt.
