Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Vae filii desertores, dicit Dominus, ut faceretis consilium, et non ex me: et ordiremini telam, et non per spiritum meum, ut adderetis peccatum super peccatum:
2 who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
qui ambulatis ut descendatis in Aegyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine Pharaonis, et habentes fiduciam in umbra Aegypti.
3 For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
Et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia umbrae Aegypti in ignominiam.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Erant enim in Tani principes tui, et nuncii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerunt.
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Omnes confusi sunt super populo, qui eis prodesse non potuit: non fuerunt in auxilium et in aliquam utilitatem, sed in confusionem et in opprobrium.
6 — The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
Onus iumentorum Austri. In terra tribulationis et angustiae leaena, et leo ex eis, vipera et regulus volans portantes super humeros iumentorum divitias suas, et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
Aegyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur: ideo clamavi super hoc: Superbia tantum est, quiesce.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
Nunc ergo ingressus scribe ei super buxum, et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in die novissimo in testimonium usque in aeternum.
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
populus enim ad iracundiam provocans est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Dei.
10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
Qui dicunt videntibus: Nolite videre: et aspicientibus: Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quae recta sunt: loquimini nobis placentia, videte nobis errores.
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
Auferte a me viam, declinate a me semitam, cesset a facie nostra sanctus Israel.
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
Propterea haec dicit sanctus Israel: Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc, et sperastis in calumnia et in tumultu, et innixi estis super eo:
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens, et requisita in muro excelso, quoniam subito, dum non speratur, veniet contritio eius.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
Et comminuetur sicut conteritur lagena figuli contritione pervalida: et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua portetur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur parum aquae de fovea.
15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Si revertamini et quiescatis, salvi eritis: in silentio, et in spe erit fortitudo vestra. Et noluistis:
16 And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
et dixistis: Nequaquam, sed ad equos fugiemus: ideo fugietis. Et super veloces ascendemus: ideo velociores erunt, qui persequentur vos.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Mille homines a facie terroris unius: et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus navis in vertice montis, et quasi signum super collem.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Propterea expectat Dominus ut misereatur vestri: et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis: quia Deus iudicii Dominus: beati omnes qui expectant eum.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
Populus enim Sion habitabit in Ierusalem: plorans nequaquam plorabis, miserans miserebitur tui: ad vocem clamoris tui statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.
20 And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Et dabit vobis Dominus panem arctum, et aquam brevem: et non faciet avolare a te ultra doctorem tuum: et erunt oculi tui videntes praeceptorem tuum.
21 And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
Et aures tuae audient verbum post tergum monentis: Haec est via, ambulate in ea: et non declinetis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
22 And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argenti tui, et vestimentum conflatilis auri tui, et disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatae. Egredere, dices ei:
23 And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
Et dabitur pluvia semini tuo, ubicumque seminaveris in terra: et panis frugum terrae erit uberrimus, et pinguis. pascetur in possessione tua in die illo agnus spatiose:
24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
et tauri tui, et pulli asinorum, qui operantur terram, commistum migma comedent sicut in area ventilatum est.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum, et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum cum ceciderint turres.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
Et erit lux lunae sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui, et percussuram plagae eius sanaverit.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis ad portandum: labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.
28 and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans usque ad medium colli ad perdendas gentes in nihilum, et frenum erroris, quod erat in maxillis populorum.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Canticum erit vobis sicut vox sanctificatae sollemnitatis, et laetitia cordis sicut qui pergit cum tibia, ut intret in montem Domini ad fortem Israel.
30 And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suae, et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris, et flamma ignis devorantis: allidet in turbine, et in lapide grandinis.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
A voce enim Domini pavebit Assur virga percussus.
32 And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
Et erit transitus virgae fundatus, quam requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis: et in bellis praecipuis expugnabit eos.
33 For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Praeparata est enim ab heri Topheth, a rege praeparata, profunda, et dilatata. Nutrimenta eius, ignis et ligna multa: flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendens eam.
