Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoylest, and wast not spoyled: and doest wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoyle, thou shalt be spoyled: when thou shalt make an ende of doing wickedly, they shall doe wickedly against 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 O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, wee haue waited for thee: be thou, which waste their arme in the morning, our helpe also in 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 people fled: at thine exalting the nations were scattered.
A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.
4 And your spoyle shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillers: and he shall go against him like the leaping of grashoppers.
Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossae plenae fuerint de eo.
5 The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on hie: he hath filled Zion with iudgement and iustice.
Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso: implevit Sion iudicio et iustitia.
6 And there shall be stabilitie of thy times, strength, saluation, wisdome and knowledge: for the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure.
Et erit fides in temporibus tuis: divitiae salutis sapientia et scientia: timor Domini ipse est thesaurus eius.
7 Behold, their messengers shall cry without, and ye ambassadours of peace shall weepe bitterly.
Ecce videntes clamabunt foris, angeli pacis amare flebunt.
8 The pathes are waste: the wayfaring man ceaseth: hee hath broken the couenant: hee hath contemned the cities: he regarded no man.
Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam, irritum factum est pactum, proiecit civitates, non reputavit homines.
9 The earth mourneth and fainteth: Lebanon is ashamed, and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan is shaken and Carmel.
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 the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe.
Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus: nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
11 Ye shall conceiue chaffe, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall deuoure you.
Concipietis ardorem, parietis stipulam: spiritus vester ut ignis vorabit vos.
12 And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thornes cut vp, shall they be burnt in the fire.
Et erunt populi quasi de incendio cinis, spinae congregatae igni comburentur.
13 Heare, yee that are farre off, what I haue done, and ye that are neere, know my power.
Audite qui longe estis, quae fecerim, et cognoscite vicini fortitudinem meam.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraide: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shall dwel with the deuouring fire? who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings?
Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores, possedit tremor hypocritas. quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante? quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis?
15 Hee that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppression, shaking his handes from taking of gifts, stopping his eares from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing euill.
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 hie: his defence shall be the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe giuen him, and his waters shalbe 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 glory: they shall beholde the lande farre off.
Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi eius, cernent terram de longe.
18 Thine heart shall meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is hee that counted the towres?
Cor tuum meditabitur timorem: ubi est litteratus? ubi legis verba ponderans? ubi doctor parvulorum?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not vnderstande.
Populum imprudentem non videbis, populum alti sermonis: ita ut non possis intelligere disertitudinem linguae eius, in quo nulla est sapientia.
20 Looke vpon Zion the citie of our solemne feastes: thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation, a Tabernacle that can not be remooued: and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away, neither shall any of the cordes thereof 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 For surely there the mightie Lord will be vnto vs, as a place of floods and broade riuers, whereby shall passe no shippe with oares, neither shall great shippe passe 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 the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our lawe giuer: the Lord is our King, he will saue vs.
Dominus enim iudex noster: Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster: ipse salvabit nos.
23 Thy cordes are loosed: they could not well strengthen their maste, neither coulde they spread the saile: then shall the praye be deuided for a great spoile: yea, the lame shall take away the pray.
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 none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
Nec dicet vicinus: Elangui: populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
