Isaiah 22
1 The burden concerning the Valley of Vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops,
Onus vallis visionis. Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta?
2 Thou that art full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town? Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
Clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exultans: interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.
3 All thy rulers are fled together, without the bow they are bound; all that are found of thee are bound together, they are fled afar off.
Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul, dureque ligati sunt: omnes, qui inventi sunt, vincti sunt pariter, procul fugerunt.
4 Therefore said I: 'Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; strain not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.'
Propterea dixi: Recedite a me, amare flebo: nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiæ populi mei.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; Kir shouting, and Shoa at the mount.
Dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle visionis scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.
6 And Elam bore the quiver, with troops of men, even horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
Et Ælam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.
7 And it came to pass, when thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate,
Et erunt electæ valles tuæ plenæ quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.
8 And the covering of Judah was laid bare, that thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
Et revelabitur operimentum Iudæ, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.
9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatæ sunt: et congregastis aquas piscinæ inferioris,
10 And ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses to fortify the wall;
et domos Ierusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.
11 ye made also a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool — but ye looked not unto Him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago.
Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinæ veteris: et non suspexistis ad eum, qui fecerat eam, et Operatorem eius de longe non vidistis.
12 And in that day did the Lord, the GOD of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine — 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!'
Et ecce gaudium et lætitia, occidere vitulos, et iugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum: Comedamus, et bibamus: cras enim moriemur.
14 And the LORD of hosts revealed Himself in mine ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be expiated by you till ye die, saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum. Si dimittetur iniquitas hæc vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
15 Thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: Go, get thee unto this steward, even unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Vade, ingredere ad eum, qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam præpositum templi, et dices ad eum:
16 What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre, thou that hewest thee out a sepulchre on high, and gravest a habitation for thyself in the rock?
Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic? Quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter in petra, tabernaculum tibi.
17 Behold, the LORD will hurl thee up and down with a man's throw; yea, He will wind thee round and round;
Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus, et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te.
18 He will violently roll and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of the lord's house.
Coronas cornonabit te tribulatione, quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam: ibi morieris, et ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ, ignominia domus Domini tui.
19 And I will thrust thee from thy post, and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down.
Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
Et erit in die illa: Vocabo servum meum Eliacim filium Helciæ,
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and bind him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius: et erit quasi pater habitantibus Ierusalem, et domui Iuda.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum eius: et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat: et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of honour to his father's house.
Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriæ domui patris eius.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.
Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris eius, vasorum diversa genera, omne vas parvulum a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum.
25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the peg that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
In die illa dicit Dominus exercituum: Auferetur paxillus, qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli: et frangetur, et cadet, et peribit quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est.
