Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.
ecce Dominus dissipabit terram et nudabit eam et adfliget faciem eius et disperget habitatores eius
2 And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.
et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos et sicut servus sic dominus eius sicut ancilla sic domina eius sicut emens sic ille qui vendit sicut fenerator sic is qui mutuum accipit sicut qui repetit sic qui debet
3 The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.
dissipatione dissipabitur terra et direptione praedabitur Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc
4 The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.
luxit et defluxit terra et infirmata est defluxit orbis infirmata est altitudo populi terrae
5 The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.
et terra interfecta est ab habitatoribus suis quia transgressi sunt leges mutaverunt ius dissipaverunt foedus sempiternum
6 Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.
propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram et peccabunt habitatores eius ideoque insanient cultores eius et relinquentur homines pauci
7 The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.
luxit vindemia infirmata est vitis ingemuerunt omnes qui laetabantur corde
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.
cessavit gaudium tympanorum quievit sonitus laetantium conticuit dulcedo citharae
9 They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.
cum cantico non bibent vinum amara erit potio bibentibus illam
10 The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.
adtrita est civitas vanitatis clausa est omnis domus nullo introeunte
11 There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.
clamor erit super vino in plateis deserta est omnis laetitia translatum est gaudium terrae
12 In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
relicta est in urbe solitudo et calamitas opprimet portas
13 Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.
quia haec erunt in medio terrae in medio populorum quomodo si paucae olivae quae remanserunt excutiantur ex olea et racemi cum fuerit finita vindemia
14 They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.
hii levabunt vocem suam atque laudabunt cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus hinnient de mari
15 Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.
propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israhel
16 From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.
a finibus terrae laudes audivimus gloriam iusti et dixi secretum meum mihi secretum meum mihi vae mihi praevaricantes praevaricati sunt et praevaricatione transgressorum praevaricati sunt
17 Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
formido et fovea et laqueus super te qui habitator es terrae
18 And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.
et erit qui fugerit a voce formidinis cadet in foveam et qui se explicuerit de fovea tenebitur laqueo quia cataractae de excelsis apertae sunt et concutientur fundamenta terrae
19 The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.
confractione confringetur terra contritione conteretur terra commotione commovebitur terra
20 The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.
agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis et gravabit eam iniquitas sua et corruet et non adiciet ut resurgat
21 And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.
et erit in die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam caeli in excelso et super reges terrae qui sunt super terram
22 And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.
et congregabuntur in congregationem unius fascis in lacum et cludentur ibi in carcerem et post multos dies visitabuntur
23 Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.
et erubescet luna et confundetur sol cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion et in Hierusalem et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus
