Isaiah 47
1 Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
Descende, sede in pulvere virgo filia Babylon, sede in terra: non est solium filiae Chaldaeorum, quia ultra non vocaberis mollis et tenera.
2 Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
Tolle molam, et mole farinam: denuda turpitudinem tuam, discooperi humerum, revela crura, transi flumina.
3 Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
Revelabitur ignominia tua, et videbitur opprobrium tuum: ultionem capiam, et non resistet mihi homo.
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
Redemptor noster, Dominus exercituum nomen illius sanctus Israel.
5 Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
Sede tacens, et intra in tenebras filia Chaldaeorum: quia non vocaberis ultra domina regnorum.
6 I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
Iratus sum super populum meum, contaminavi hereditatem meam, et dedi eos in manu tua: non posuisti eis misericordias: super senem aggravasti iugum tuum valde.
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
Et dixisti: In sempiternum ero domina: non posuisti haec super cor tuum, neque recordata es novissimi tui.
8 Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
Et nunc audi haec delicata, et habitans confidenter, quae dicis in corde tuo: Ego sum, et non est praeter me amplius: non sedebo vidua, et ignorabo sterilitatem.
9 But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
Venient tibi duo haec subito in die una, sterilitas et viduitas. universa venerunt super te, propter multitudinem maleficiorum tuorum, et propter duritiam incantatorum tuorum vehementem.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
Et fiduciam habuisti in malitia tua, et dixisti: Non est qui videat me. sapientia tua et scientia tua haec decepit te. Et dixisti in corde tuo: Ego sum, et praeter me non est altera.
11 Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
Veniet super te malum, et nescies ortum eius: irruet super te calamitas, quam non poteris expiare: veniet super te repente miseria, quam nescies.
12 Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
Sta cum incantatoribus tuis, et cum multitudine maleficiorum tuorum, in quibus laborasti ab adolescentia tua, si forte quod prosit tibi, aut si possis fieri fortior.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
Defecisti in multitudine consiliorum tuorum: stent, et salvent te augures caeli, qui contemplabantur sidera, et supputabant menses, ut ex eis annunciarent ventura tibi.
14 Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
Ecce facti sunt quasi stipula, ignis combussit eos: non liberabunt animam suam de manu flammae: non sunt prunae, quibus calefiant, nec focus, ut sedeant ad eum.
15 Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
Sic facta sunt tibi in quibuscumque laboraveras: negotiatores tui ab adolescentia tua, unusquisque in via sua erraverunt: non est qui salvet te.
