Esias 14
1 And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
Prope est ut veniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabuntur. Miserebitur enim Dominus Iacob, et eliget adhuc de Israel, et requiescere eos faciet super humum suam: adiungetur advena ad eos, et adhærebit domui Iacob.
2 And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
Et tenebunt eos populi, et adducent eos in locum suum: et possidebit eos domus Israel super terram Domini in servos et ancillas: et erunt capientes eos, qui se ceperant, et subiicient exactores suos.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, [and from] thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.
Et erit in die illa: cum requiem dederit tibi Deus a labore tuo, et a concussione tua, et a servitute dura, qua ante servisti:
4 And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
sumes parabolam istam contra regem Babylonis, et dices: Quomodo cessavit exactor, quievit tributum?
5 The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.
Contrivit Dominus baculum impiorum, virgam dominantium,
6 Having smitten a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, smiting a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared [them] not, he rested in quiet.
cædentem populos in indignatione, plaga insanabili, subiicientem in furore gentes, persequentem crudeliter.
7 All the earth cries aloud with joy:
Conquievit et siluit omnis terra, gavisa est et exultavit:
8 the trees also of Libanus rejoice against thee, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that thou hast been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
abietes quoque lætatæ sunt super te, et cedri Libani: ex quo dormisti, non ascendet qui succidat nos.
9 Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Infernus subter conturbatus est in occursum adventus tui, suscitavit tibi gigantes. Omnes principes terræ surrexerunt de soliis suis, omnes principes nationum. (Sheol h7585)
10 All shall answer and say to thee, Thou also hast been taken, even as we; and thou art numbered amongst us.
Universi respondebunt, et dicent tibi: Et tu vulneratus es sicut et nos, nostri similis effectus es.
11 Thy glory has come down to Hades, and thy great mirth: under thee they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
Detracta est ad inferos superbia tua, concidit cadaver tuum: subter te sternetur tinea, et operimentum tuum erunt vermes. (Sheol h7585)
12 How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent [orders] to all the nations is crushed to the earth.
Quomodo cecidisti de cælo Lucifer, qui mane oriebaris? Corruisti in terram, qui vulnerabas gentes?
13 But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:
Qui dicebas in corde tuo: In cælum conscendam, super astra Dei exaltabo solium meum, sedebo in monte testamenti, in lateribus Aquilonis,
14 I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.
Ascendam super altitudinem nubium, similis ero Altissimo.
Verumtamen ad infernum detraheris in profundum laci: (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;
qui te viderint, ad te inclinabuntur, teque prospicient: Numquid iste est vir, qui conturbavit terram, qui concussit regna,
17 that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.
qui posuit orbem desertum, et urbes eius destruxit, vinctis eius non aperuit carcerem?
18 All the kings of the nations lie in honour, [every] man in his house.
Omnes reges gentium universi dormierunt in gloria, vir in domo sua.
19 But thou shalt be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.
Tu autem proiectus es de sepulchro tuo, quasi stirps inutilis pollutus, et obvolutus cum his, qui interfecti sunt gladio, et descenderunt ad fundamenta laci, quasi cadaver putridum.
20 As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure for ever, —[thou] an evil seed.
Non habebis consortium, neque cum eis in sepultura: tu enim terram tuam disperdidisti, tu populum tuum occidisti: non vocabitur in æternum semen pessimorum.
21 Prepare thy children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.
Præparate filios eius occisioni in iniquitate patrum suorum: non consurgent, nec hereditabunt terram, neque implebunt faciem orbis civitatum.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.
Et consurgam super eos, dicit Dominus exercituum: et perdam Babylonis nomen, et reliquias, et germen, et progeniem, dicit Dominus.
23 And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell [there], and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.
Et ponam eam in possessionem ericii, et in paludes aquarum, et scopabo eam in scopa terens, dicit Dominus exercituum.
24 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
Iuravit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Si non, ut putavi, ita erit: et quo modo mente tractavi,
25 [even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.
sic eveniet: Ut conteram Assyrium in terra mea, et in montibus meis conculcem eum: et auferetur ab eis iugum eius, et onus illius ab humero eorum tolletur.
26 This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.
Hoc consilium, quod cogitavi super omnem terram, et hæc est manus extenta super universas gentes.
27 For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?
Dominus enim exercituum decrevit: et quis poterit infirmare? Et manus eius extenta: et quis avertet eam?
28 In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.
In anno, quo mortuus est rex Achaz, factum est onus istud:
29 Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,
ne lætaris Philisthæa omnis tu, quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui: de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus, et semen eius absorbens volucrem.
30 And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.
Et pascentur primogeniti pauperum, et pauperes fiducialiter requiescent: et interire faciam in fame radicem tuam, et reliquias tuas interficiam.
31 Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
Ulula porta, clama civitas: prostrata est Philisthæa omnis: ab Aquilone enim fumus veniet, et non est qui effugiet agmen eius.
32 And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.
Et quid respondebitur nunciis gentis? Quia Dominus fundavit Sion, et in ipso sperabunt pauperes populi eius.
