Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Vae qui praedaris, nonne et ipse praedaberis? et qui spernis, nonne et ipse sperneris? cum consummaveris depraedationem, depraedaberis: cum fatigatus desieris contemnere, contemneris.
2 Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble.
Domine miserere nostri: te enim expectavimus: esto brachium nostrum in mane, et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it.
Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossae plenae fuerint de eo.
5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness;
Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso: implevit Sion iudicio et iustitia.
6 and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure.
Et erit fides in temporibus tuis: divitiae salutis sapientia et scientia: timor Domini ipse est thesaurus eius.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
Ecce videntes clamabunt foris, angeli pacis amare flebunt.
8 The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam, irritum factum est pactum, proiecit civitates, non reputavit homines.
9 The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
Luxit, et elanguit terra: confusus est Libanus, et obsorduit, et factus est Saron sicut desertum: et concussa est Basan, et Carmelus.
10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus: nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
11 Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you [as] fire.
Concipietis ardorem, parietis stipulam: spiritus vester ut ignis vorabit vos.
12 And the peoples shall be [as] burnings of lime, [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Et erunt populi quasi de incendio cinis, spinae congregatae igni comburentur.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
Audite qui longe estis, quae fecerim, et cognoscite vicini fortitudinem meam.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames?
Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores, possedit tremor hypocritas. quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante? quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis?
15 — He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:
Qui ambulat in iustitiis, et loquitur veritatem, qui proiicit avaritiam ex calumnia, et excutit manus suas ab omni munere, qui obturat aures suas ne audiat sanguinem, et claudit oculos suos ne videat malum.
16 he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure.
Iste in excelsis habitabit, munimenta saxorum sublimitas eius: panis ei datus est, aquae eius fideles sunt.
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.
Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi eius, cernent terram de longe.
18 Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Cor tuum meditabitur timorem: ubi est litteratus? ubi legis verba ponderans? ubi doctor parvulorum?
19 Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
Populum imprudentem non videbis, populum alti sermonis: ita ut non possis intelligere disertitudinem linguae eius, in quo nulla est sapientia.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;
Respice Sion civitatem sollemnitatis nostrae: oculi tui videbunt Ierusalem, habitationem opulentam, tabernaculum, quod nequaquam transferri poterit: nec auferentur clavi eius in sempiternum, et omnes funiculi eius non rumpentur:
21 but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, — a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
quia solummodo ibi magnificus est Dominus noster: locus fluviorum rivi latissimi et patentes: non transibit per eum navis remigum, neque trieris magna transgredietur eum.
22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.
Dominus enim iudex noster: Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster: ipse salvabit nos.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Laxati sunt funiculi tui, et non praevalebunt: sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas. Tunc dividentur spolia praedarum multarum: claudi diripient rapinam.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven [their] iniquity.
Nec dicet vicinus: Elangui: populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
