Isaiah 8
1 And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Sume tibi librum grandem, et scribe in eo stylo hominis: Velociter spolia detrahe, cito praedare.
2 And I will take to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
Et adhibui mihi testes fideles, Uriam sacerdotem, et Zachariam filium Barachiae:
3 And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Jehovah said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
et accessi ad prophetissam, et concepit et peperit filium. Et dixit Dominus ad me: Voca nomen eius, Accelera spolia detrahere: Festina praedari.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
Quia antequam sciat puer vocare patrem suum et matrem suam, auferetur fortitudo Damasci, et spolia Samariae coram rege Assyriorum.
5 And Jehovah spoke to me yet again, saying,
Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc, dicens:
6 Inasmuch as this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son,
Pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloe, quae vadunt cum silentio, et assumpsit magis Rasin, et filium Romeliae:
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks,
propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos aquas fluminis fortes et multas, regem Assyriorum, et omnem gloriam eius: et ascendet super omnes rivos eius, et fluet super universas ripas eius,
8 and it shall sweep onward into Judah. It shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
et ibit per Iudam, inundans, et transiens usque ad collum veniet. Et erit extensio alarum eius, implens latitudinem terrae tuae o Emmanuel.
9 Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and be broken in pieces. And give ear, all ye of far countries. Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces. Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces.
Congregamini populi, et vincimini, et audite universae procul terrae: confortamini et vincimini, accingite vos et vincimini:
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nothing. Speak the word, and it shall not stand, for God is with us.
inite consilium, et dissipabitur: loquimini verbum et non fiet: quia nobiscum Deus.
11 For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Haec enim ait Dominus ad me: Sicut in manu forti erudivit me, ne irem in via populi huius, dicens:
12 Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all of which this people shall say, A conspiracy, nor fear ye their fear, nor be in dread of it.
Non dicatis, coniuratio: omnia enim quae loquitur populus iste, coniuratio est: et timorem eius ne timeatis, neque paveatis.
13 Jehovah of hosts, him ye shall sanctify, and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate: ipse pavor vester, et ipse terror vester.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary, but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a net and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Et erit vobis in sanctificationem. In lapidem autem offensionis, et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israel, in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Ierusalem.
15 And many shall stumble on it, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Et offendent ex eis plurimi, et cadent, et conterentur, et irretientur, et capientur.
16 Bind thou up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
Liga testimonium, signa legem in discipulis meis.
17 And I will wait for Jehovah, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will be a man who has trusted in him.
Et expectabo Dominum, qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob, et praestolabor eum.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwells in mount Zion.
Ecce ego et pueri mei, quos dedit mihi Dominus in signum, et in portentum Israel a Domino exercituum, qui habitat in monte Sion.
19 And when they shall say to you, Seek for those who have familiar spirits and for the wizards, who chirp and who mutter, should not a people seek for their God? On behalf of the living seek to the dead?
Et cum dixerint ad vos: Quaerite a pythonibus, et a divinis, qui strident in incantationibus suis: Numquid non populus a Deo suo requiret visionem pro vivis a mortuis?
20 Seek to the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Ad legem magis, et ad testimonium. Quod si non dixerint iuxta verbum hoc, non erit eis matutina lux.
21 And they shall pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry. And it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward.
Et transibit per eam, corruet, et esuriet: et cum esurierit, irascetur, et maledicet regi suo, et Deo suo, et suscipiet sursum.
22 And they shall look to the earth, and, behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and into thick darkness to be driven away.
Et ad terram intuebitur, et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae, dissolutio et angustia, et caligo persequens, et non poterit avolare de angustia sua.
