Isaiah 8
1 Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
et dixit Dominus ad me sume tibi librum grandem et scribe in eo stilo hominis Velociter spolia detrahe Cito praedare
2 And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
et adhibui mihi testes fideles Uriam sacerdotem et Zacchariam filium Barachiae
3 And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
et accessi ad prophetissam et concepit et peperit filium et dixit Dominus ad me voca nomen eius Adcelera spolia detrahere Festina praedari
4 For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by 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 the LORD spoke to me further:
et adiecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc dicens
6 “Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloae quae vadunt cum silentio et adsumpsit magis Rasin et filium Romeliae
7 the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates — the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun 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 It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!
et ibit per Iudam inundans et transiens usque ad collum veniet et erit extensio alarum eius implens latitudinem terrae tuae o Emmanuhel
9 Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for battle, and be shattered; prepare for battle, and be shattered!
congregamini populi et vincimini et audite universae procul terrae confortamini et vincimini accingite vos et vincimini
10 Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”
inite consilium et dissipabitur loquimini verbum et non fiet quia nobiscum Deus
11 For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
haec enim ait Dominus ad me sicut in forti manu erudivit me ne irem in via populi huius dicens
12 “Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.
non dicatis coniuratio omnia enim quae loquitur populus iste coniuratio est et timorem eius ne timeatis neque paveatis
13 The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.
Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate ipse pavor vester et ipse terror vester
14 And He will be a sanctuary— but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.
et erit vobis in sanctificationem in lapidem autem offensionis et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israhel in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Hierusalem
15 Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”
et offendent ex eis plurimi et cadent et conterentur et inretientur et capientur
16 Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.
liga testimonium signa legem in discipulis meis
17 I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.
et expectabo Dominum qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob et praestolabor eum
18 Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
ecce ego et pueri quos mihi dedit Dominus in signum et in portentum Israhelis a Domino exercituum qui habitat in monte Sion
19 When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?
et cum dixerint ad vos quaerite a pythonibus et a divinis qui stridunt in incantationibus suis numquid non populus a Deo suo requirit pro vivis a mortuis
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
ad legem magis et ad testimonium quod si non dixerint iuxta verbum hoc non erit eis matutina lux
21 They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.
et transibit per eam corruet et esuriet et cum esurierit irascetur et maledicet regi suo et Deo suo et suspiciet sursum
22 Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness.
et ad terram intuebitur et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae dissolutio angustia et caligo persequens et non poterit avolare de angustia sua
