Esias 3
1 Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
[Ecce enim Dominator, Dominus exercituum, auferet a Jerusalem et a Juda validum et fortem, omne robur panis, et omne robor aquæ;
2 the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
fortem, et virum bellatorem, judicem, et prophetam, et ariolum, et senem;
3 the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
principem super quinquaginta, et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium, et sapientem de architectis, et prudentem eloquii mystici.
4 And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
Et dabo pueros principes eorum, et effeminati dominabuntur eis;
5 And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbour: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
et irruet populus, vir ad virum, et unusquisque ad proximum suum; tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.
6 For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum, domesticum patris sui: Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem hæc sub manu tua.
7 And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
Respondebit in die illa, dicens: Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum: nolite constituere me principem populi.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
Ruit enim Jerusalem, et Judas concidit, quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos majestatis ejus.
9 Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
Agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis; et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma prædicaverunt, nec absconderunt. Væ animæ eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala!
10 Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
Dicite justo quoniam bene, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.
11 Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
Væ impio in malum! retributio enim manuum ejus fiet ei.
12 O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
Populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt, et mulieres dominatæ sunt eis. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt, et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.
13 But now the Lord will stand up for judgement, and will enter into judgement with his people.
Stat ad judicandum Dominus, et stat ad judicandos populos.
14 The Lord himself shall enter into judgement with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
Dominus ad judicium veniet cum senibus populi sui, et principibus ejus; vos enim depasti estis vineam, et rapina pauperis in domo vestra.
15 Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
Quare atteritis populum meum, et facies pauperum commolitis? dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.]
16 Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
[Et dixit Dominus: Pro eo quod elevatæ sunt filiæ Sion, et ambulaverunt extento collo, et nutibus oculorum ibant, et plaudebant, ambulabant pedibus suis, et composito gradu incedebant;
17 therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion, et Dominus crinem earum nudabit.
18 and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentum,
19 and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
et lunulas, et torques, et monilia, et armillas, et mitras,
20 and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
et discriminalia, et periscelidas, et murenulas, et olfactoriola, et inaures,
21 and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
et annulos, et gemmas in fronte pendentes,
22 And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
et mutatoria, et palliola, et linteamina, et acus,
23 And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
et specula, et sindones, et vittas, et theristra.
24 And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
Et erit pro suavi odore fœtor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispanti crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium.
Pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in prælio.
Et mœrebunt atque lugebunt portæ ejus, et desolata in terra sedebit.]
