< Isaiah 32 >
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and as for princes, they shall rule in justice.
ecce in iustitia regnabit rex et principes in iudicio praeerunt
2 And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as by the watercourses in a dry place, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
et erit vir sicut qui absconditur a vento et celat se a tempestate sicut rivi aquarum in siti et umbra petrae prominentis in terra deserta
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall attend.
non caligabunt oculi videntium et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
et cor stultorum intelleget scientiam et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be noble.
non vocabitur ultra is qui insipiens est princeps neque fraudulentus appellabitur maior
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
stultus enim fatua loquetur et cor eius faciet iniquitatem ut perficiat simulationem et loquatur ad Dominum fraudulenter et vacuefaciat animam esurientis et potum sitienti auferat
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.
fraudulenti vasa pessima sunt ipse enim cogitationes concinnavit ad perdendos mites in sermone mendacii cum loqueretur pauper iudicium
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
princeps vero ea quae digna sunt principe cogitavit et ipse super duces stabit
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.
mulieres opulentae surgite et audite vocem meam filiae confidentes percipite auribus eloquium meum
10 After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
post dies et annum et vos conturbabimini confidentes consummata est enim vindemia collectio ultra non veniet
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye confident ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins,
obstupescite opulentae conturbamini confidentes exuite vos et confundimini accingite lumbos vestros
12 Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;
super ubera plangite super regione desiderabili super vinea fertili
13 For the land of my people whereon thorns and briers come up; yea, for all the houses of joy and the joyous city.
super humum populi mei spina et vepres ascendent quanto magis super omnes domos gaudii civitatis exultantis
14 For the palace shall be forsaken; the city with its stir shall be deserted; the mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
domus enim dimissa est multitudo urbis relicta est tenebrae et palpatio factae sunt super speluncas usque in aeternum gaudium onagrorum pascua gregum
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
donec effundatur super nos spiritus de excelso et erit desertum in Chermel et Chermel in saltum reputabitur
16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
et habitabit in solitudine iudicium et iustitia in Chermel sedebit
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
et erit opus iustitiae pax et cultus iustitiae silentium et securitas usque in sempiternum
18 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
et sedebit populus meus in pulchritudine pacis et in tabernaculis fiduciae et in requie opulenta
19 And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; but the city shall descend into the valley.
grando autem in descensione saltus et humilitate humiliabitur civitas
20 Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.
beati qui seminatis super omnes aquas inmittentes pedem bovis et asini
