Isaiah 18
1 Ha! land shadowing with wings, which art beyond the rivers of Cush,
Vae terrae cymbalo alarum, quae est trans flumina Aethiopiae,
2 that sendest ambassadors over the sea, and in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, [saying, ] Go, swift messengers, to a nation scattered and ravaged, to a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth; to a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
quae mittit in mare legatos, et in vasis papyri super aquas. Ite angeli veloces ad gentem convulsam, et dilaceratam: ad populum terribilem, post quem non est alius: ad gentem expectantem et conculcatam, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius:
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when a trumpet is blown, hear ye!
omnes habitatores orbis, qui moramini in terra, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis, et clangorem tubae audietis:
4 For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: I will take my rest, and I will observe from my dwelling-place like clear heat upon herbs, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
quia haec dicit Dominus ad me: Quiescam, et considerabo in loco meo sicut meridiana lux clara est, et sicut nubes roris in die messis.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-knives, and take away [and] cut down the branches.
Ante messem enim totus effloruit, et immatura perfectio germinabit, et praecidentur ramusculi eius falcibus: et quae derelicta fuerint, abscindentur, et excutientur.
6 They shall be left together unto the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts of the earth; and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Et relinquentur simul avibus montium, et bestiis terrae: et aestate perpetua erunt super eum volucres, et omnes bestiae terrae super illum hiemabunt.
7 In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts of a people scattered and ravaged, — and from a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth, a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled, ...to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo divulso et dilacerato: a populo terribili, post quem non fuit alius, a gente expectante, expectante et conculcata, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius, ad locum nominis Domini exercituum montem Sion.
