Isaiah 65
Language: Latin 
1  Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant;
   invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me.
   Dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego, 
   ad gentem quæ non invocabat nomen meum.

2  Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum,
   qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.

3  Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me
   ante faciem meam semper; qui immolant in hortis,
   et sacrificant super lateres;

4  qui habitant in sepulchris,
   et in delubris idolorum dormiunt;
   qui comedunt carnem suillam,
   et jus profanum in vasis eorum;

5  qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi,
   quia immundus es. Isti fumus erunt
   in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.

6  Ecce scriptum est coram me: Non tacebo, sed reddam,
   et retribuam in sinum eorum.

7 Iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul,
  dicit Dominus; qui sacrificaverunt super montes,
  et super colles exprobraverunt mihi;
  et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.

8  Hæc dicit Dominus:
   Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro,
   et dicatur: Ne dissipes illud,
   quoniam benedictio est: sic faciam propter servos meos,
   ut non disperdam totum.

9  Et educam de Jacob semen, et de Juda possidentem montes meos;
   et hæreditabunt eam electi mei,
   et servi mei habitabunt ibi.

10 Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum,
   et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum,
   populo meo qui requisierunt me.

11 Et vos qui dereliquistis Dominum, 
   qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum,
   qui ponitis fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam:

12 numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in cæde corruetis:
   pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis;
   locutus sum, et non audistis; et faciebatis malum in oculis meis,
   et quæ nolui elegistis.

13 Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
   Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis;
   ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis;

14 ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini;
   ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exsultatione cordis,
   et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis,
   et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis,

15 et dimittetis nomen vestrum in juramentum electis meis;
   et interficiet te Dominus Deus,
   et servos suos vocabit nomine alio:

16 in quo qui benedictus est super terram benedicetur in Deo, amen,
   et qui jurat in terra jurabit in Deo, amen:
   quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores,
   et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.

17 Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam;
   et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.

18 Sed gaudebitis et exsultabitis usque in sempiternum
   in his quæ ego creo: 
   quia ecce ego creo Jerusalem exsultationem,
   et populum ejus gaudium.

19 Et exsultabo in Jerusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo,
   et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.

20 Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum,
   et senex qui non impleat dies suos,
   quoniam puer centum annorum morietur,
   et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.

21 Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt;
   et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.

22 Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit;
   non plantabunt, et alius comedet:
   secundum enim dies ligni erunt dies populi mei,
   et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt.

23 Electi mei non laborabunt frustra,  
   neque generabunt in conturbatione,
   quia semen benedictorum Domini est,
   et nepotes eorum cum eis.

24 Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam; 
   adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.

25 Lupus et agnus pascentur simul,
   leo et bos comedent paleas,
   et serpenti pulvis panis ejus.
   Non nocebunt, neque occident
   in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.

For behold
 (Sung text for setting by A. Bush)
 See original
Language: English  after the Latin 
1  ... 

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
   and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever
   in that which I create:
   for, behold, I create Jerusalem
   a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:
   and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days,
   nor an old man that hath not filled his days:
   for the child shall die an hundred years old;
    ... 

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;
   and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit;
   they shall not plant, and another eat:
   for as the days of a tree are the days of my people,
   and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23  ... 

Composition:

    Set to music by Alan Dudley Bush (1900 - 1995), "For behold", op. 41 no. 1 (1952) [ tenor and piano ], from Voices of the Prophets, no. 1
