Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

KJV

Accedite ad me et audite hoc : non a principio in abscondito locutus sum : ex tempore antequam fieret, ibi eram : et nunc Dominus Deus misit me, et spiritus ejus.

Vulgate

προσαγάγετε πρὸς μὲ καὶ ἀκούσατε ταῦτα, οὐκ ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἐν ⸂⸆⸃ κρυφῇ λελάληκα· ἡνίκα ἐγένετο, ἐκεῖ ἤμην, καὶ νῦν κύριος Κύριος ἀπέστειλέν με καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
