Isaiah 32
1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
Ecce in iustitia regnabit rex, et principes in iudicio præerunt.
2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
Et erit vir sicut qui absconditur a vento, et celat se a tempestate, sicut rivi aquarum in siti, et umbra petræ prominentis in terra deserta.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
Non caligabunt oculi videntium, et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt.
4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
Et cor stultorum intelliget scientiam, et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.
5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
Non vocabitur ultra is, qui insipiens est, princeps: neque fraudulentus appellabitur maior:
6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
stultus enim fatua loquetur, et cor eius faciet iniquitatem, ut perficiat simulationem, et loquatur ad Dominum fraudulenter, et vacuam faciat animam esurientis, et potum sitienti auferat.
7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Fraudulenti vasa pessima sunt: ipse enim cogitationes concinnavit ad perdendos mites in sermone mendaci, cum loqueretur pauper iudicium.
8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
Princeps vero ea, quæ digna sunt principe, cogitabit, et ipse super duces stabit.
9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
Mulieres opulentæ surgite, et audite vocem meam: filiæ confidentes percipite auribus eloquium meum.
10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
Post dies enim, et annum vos conturbabimini confidentes: consummata est enim vindemia, collectio ultra non veniet.
11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
Obstupescite opulentæ, conturbamini confidentes: exuite vos, et confundimini, accingite lumbos vestros.
12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
Super ubera plangite, super regione desiderabili, super vinea fertili.
13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
Super humum populi mei spinæ et vepres ascendent: quanto magis super omnes domos gaudii civitatis exultantis?
14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
Domus enim dimissa est, multitudo urbis relicta est, tenebræ et palpatio factæ sunt super speluncas usque in æternum. Gaudium onagrorum pascua gregum,
15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
donec effundatur super nos spiritus de excelso: et erit desertum in charmel, et charmel in saltum reputabitur.
16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
Et habitabit in solitudine iudicium, et iustitia in charmel sedebit.
17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
Et erit opus iustitiæ pax, et cultus iustitiæ silentium, et securitas usque in sempiternum.
18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
Et sedebit populus meus in pulchritudine pacis, et in tabernaculis fiduciæ, et in requie opulenta.
19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
Grando autem in descensione saltus, et humilitate humiliabitur civitas.
20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
Beati, qui seminatis super omnes aquas, immittentes pedem bovis et asini.
