Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
Onus vallis visionis. Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta?
2 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exultans: interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.
3 All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.
Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul, dureque ligati sunt: omnes, qui inventi sunt, vincti sunt pariter, procul fugerunt.
4 For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation 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 it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
Dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle visionis scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.
6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
Et Aelam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.
7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
Et erunt electae valles tuae plenae quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.
8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
Et revelabitur operimentum Iuda, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.
9 And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatae sunt: et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris,
10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
et domos Ierusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.
11 And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinae veteris: et non suspexistis ad eum, qui fecerat eam, et operatorem eius de longe non vidistis.
12 And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci:
13 But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
et ecce gaudium et laetitia, occidere vitulos, et iugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum: Comedamus, et bibamus: cras enim moriemur.
14 And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum. Si dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
15 Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
Haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Vade, ingredere ad eum, qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam praepositum templi, et dices ad eum:
16 “What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic? quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter, in petra tabernaculum tibi.
17 Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus, et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te.
18 He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
Coronas 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 And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20 And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
Et erit in die illa: Vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helchiae,
21 And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius: et erit quasi pater habitantibus Ierusalem, et domui Iuda.
22 And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.
Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum eius: et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat: et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui.
24 And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
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, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
In die illa 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.
