Isaiah 34
1 Come close, you nations, and listen! You peoples, pay attention! Hear these words everyone who lives on earth, and all that comes from it!
Accedite Gentes, et audite, et populi attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo eius, orbis, et omne germen eius.
2 The Lord's anger is against all the nations and his fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them; he will have them slaughtered.
Quia indignatio Domini super omnes Gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.
3 Those who are killed won't be buried; the stink of their bodies will rise; mountains will be washed away with their blood.
Interfecti eorum proiicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor: tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.
4 The sun, moon, and stars of heaven will fade away, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll. All the stars will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine, like dried-up figs from a fig tree.
Et tabescet omnis militia cælorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber cæli: et omnis militia eorum defluet sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.
5 After my sword has finished what it has to do in the heavens, it will come down on Edom, on the people I have doomed for destruction.
Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus: ecce super Idumæam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meæ ad iudicium.
6 The sword of the Lord is coated in blood and covered with fat—the blood of lambs and goats, and the fat of rams' kidneys. For there is a sacrifice for Lord happening in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum, et hircorum, de sanguine medullatorum arietum: victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in Terra Edom.
7 Wild ox will fall with them, the young bulls along with the mature ones. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil soaked with fat.
Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus: inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium:
8 For the Lord has a day of punishment, a year of retribution, for the trouble caused to Zion.
quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum iudicii Sion.
9 Edom's streams will be turned into tar, its soil into sulfur, and her land will become burning tar!
Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur: et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.
10 The fire will burn day and night, and will never go out, its smoke will rise forever. From one generation to the next it will remain desolate—people won't ever go there again.
Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius: a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam.
11 The desert owl and screech owl will take it over, and the eagle owl and raven will live there. The Lord will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of destruction and a plumb line of desolation.
Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus, et ericius: ibis, et corvus habitabunt in ea: et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.
12 Its nobles won't have anything to call a kingdom; all its princes will be gone.
Nobiles eius non erunt ibi: regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.
13 Thorns will grow over its palaces; weeds and thistles will take over its fortresses. It will be a place where jackals live, a home for owls.
Et orientur in domibus eius spinæ, et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus eius: et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
14 It will be a meeting place for desert animals and hyenas, and wild goats will call to each other there. Night animals will settle there and find a place to rest.
Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum: ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.
15 There the owl will build its nest, lay and hatch its eggs, and raise its chicks in the shade of its wings. It has become a roost for birds of prey, each one with its mate.
Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra eius: illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.
16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read what it says: Not a single one of these will be missing its mate, for the Lord has ordered this to happen, and his Spirit has gathered them together.
Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite: unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quæsivit: quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.
17 He assigns them their territories, he divides up the land for them using a measuring line. These birds and animals will own it forever, from one generation to the next.
Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit eam illis in mensuram: usque in æternum possidebunt eam, in generationem et generationem habitabunt in ea.
