Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Master, YHWH of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
Ecce dominator Dominus exercituum auferet a Ierusalem, et a Iuda validum et fortem, omne robur panis, et omne robor aquae:
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
fortem, et virum bellatorem, iudicem, et prophetam, et ariolum, et senem:
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
Principem super quinquaginta, et honorabilem vultu, et consiliarium, et sapientem de architectis, et prudentem eloquii mystici.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Et dabo pueros principes eorum, et effeminati dominabuntur eis.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
Et irruet populus, vir ad virum, et unusquisque ad proximum suum: tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum domesticum patris sui dicens: Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem haec sub manu tua.
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
Respondebitque in die illa, dicens: Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis, neque vestimentum: nolite constituere me principem populi.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against YHWH, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Ruit Ierusalem, et Iudas concidit: quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius.
9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis: et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma praedicaverunt, nec absconderunt: vae animae eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Dicite iusto quoniam bene, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Vae impio in malum: retributio enim manuum eius fiet ei.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt, et mulieres dominatae sunt eis. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt, et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.
13 YHWH standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
Stat ad iudicandum Dominus, et stat ad iudicandos populos.
14 YHWH will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Dominus ad iudicium veniet cum senibus populi sui, et principibus eius: vos enim depasti estis vineam meam, et rapina pauperis in domo vestra.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Master YHWH of hosts.
Quare atteritis populum meum, et facies pauperum commolitis, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum?
16 Moreover YHWH saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Et dixit Dominus: Pro eo quod elevatae sunt filiae Sion, et ambulaverunt extento collo, et nutibus oculorum ibant, et plaudebant, ambulabant, pedibus suis, et composito gradu incedebant:
17 Therefore YHWH will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and YHWH will discover their secret parts.
Decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion, et Dominus crinem earum nudabit.
18 In that day YHWH will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentum,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
et lunulas, et torques, et monilia, et armillas, et mitras,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
et discriminalia, et periscelidas, et murenulas, et olfactoriola, et inaures,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
et annulos, et gemmas in fronte pendentes,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
et mutatoria, et palliola, et linteamina, et acus,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
et specula, et sindones, et vittas, et theristra.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
Et erit pro suavi odore foetor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispanti crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in praelio.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
Et moerebunt atque lugebunt portae eius, et desolata in terra sedebit.
