Isaiah 22
1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
onus vallis Visionis quidnam tibi quoque est quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta
2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
clamoris plena urbs frequens civitas exultans interfecti tui non interfecti gladio nec mortui in bello
3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter procul fugerunt
4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
propterea dixi recedite a me amare flebo nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiae populi mei
5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
dies enim interfectionis et conculcationis et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle Visionis scrutans murum et magnificus super montem
6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
et Aelam sumpsit faretram currum hominis equitis et parietem nudavit clypeus
7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
et erunt electae valles tuae plenae quadrigarum et equites ponent sedes suas in porta
8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
et revelabitur operimentum Iudae et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus
9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
et scissuras civitatis David videbitis quia multiplicatae sunt et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
et domos Hierusalem numerastis et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum
11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
et lacum fecistis inter duos muros et aquam piscinae veteris et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam et operatorem eius de longe non vidistis
12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
et vocavit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum et ad planctum ad calvitium et ad cingulum sacci
13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
et ecce gaudium et laetitia occidere vitulos et iugulare arietes comedere carnes et bibere vinum comedamus et bibamus cras enim moriemur
14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
et revelata est in auribus meis Domini exercituum si dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis donec moriamini dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum vade ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo ad Sobnam praepositum templi
16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
quid tu hic aut quasi quis hic quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum excidisti in excelso memoriam diligenter in petra tabernaculum tibi
17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
ecce Dominus asportari te faciet sicut asportatur gallus gallinacius et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te
18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
coronans coronabit te tribulatione quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam ibi morieris et ibi erit currus gloriae tuae ignominia domus Domini tui
19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
et expellam te de statione tua et de ministerio tuo deponam te
20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
et erit in die illa vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helciae
21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
et induam illum tunicam tuam et cingulo tuo confortabo eum et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius et erit quasi pater habitantibus Hierusalem et domui Iuda
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
et dabo clavem domus David super umerum eius et aperiet et non erit qui claudat et claudet et non erit qui aperiat
23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui
24 So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris eius vasorum diversa genera omne vas parvulum a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum
25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
in die illo dicit Dominus exercituum auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli et frangetur et cadet et peribit quod pependerat in eo quia Dominus locutus est
