Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.
Ecce in justitia regnabit rex, et principes in judicio præerunt.
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.
Et erit vir sicut qui absconditur a vento, et celat se a tempestate; sicut rivi aquarum in siti, et umbra petræ prominentis in terra deserta.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
Non caligabunt oculi videntium, et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
Et cor stultorum intelliget scientiam, et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.
5 A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.
Non vocabitur ultra is qui insipiens est, princeps, neque fraudulentus appellabitur major;
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.
stultus enim fatua loquetur, et cor ejus faciet iniquitatem, ut perficiat simulationem, et loquatur ad Dominum fraudulenter, et vacuam faciat animam esurientis, et potum sitienti auferat.
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.
Fraudulenti vasa pessima sunt; ipse enim cogitationes concinnavit ad perdendos mites in sermone mendacii, cum loqueretur pauper judicium.
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
Princeps vero ea quæ digna sunt principe cogitabit, et ipse super duces stabit.
9 Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.
Mulieres opulentæ, surgite, et audite vocem meam; filiæ confidentes, percipite auribus eloquium meum.
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
Post dies enim et annum, vos conturbabimini confidentes; consummata est enim vindemia, collectio ultra non veniet.
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
Obstupescite, opulentæ; conturbamini, confidentes: exuite vos et confundimini; accingite lumbos vestros.
12 Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
Super ubera plangite, super regione desiderabili, super vinea fertili.
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,
Super humum populi mei spinæ et vepres ascendent: quanto magis super omnes domos gaudii civitatis exultantis!
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,
Domus enim dimissa est, multitudo urbis relicta est, tenebræ et palpatio factæ sunt super speluncas usque in æternum; gaudium onagrorum, pascua gregum.
15 Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
Donec effundatur super nos spiritus de excelso, et erit desertum in carmel, et carmel in saltum reputabitur.
16 And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
Et habitabit in solitudine judicium, et justitia in carmel sedebit.
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.
Et erit opus justitiæ pax, et cultus justitiæ silentium, et securitas usque in sempiternum.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
Et sedebit populus meus in pulchritudine pacis, et in tabernaculis fiduciæ, et in requie opulenta.
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.
Grando autem in descensione saltus, et humilitate humiliabitur civitas.
20 Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
Beati qui seminatis super omnes aquas, immittentes pedem bovis et asini.
