Isaiah 24
1 Behold, Yhwh maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Ecce Dominus dissipabit terram, et nudabit eam, et affliget faciem eius, et disperget habitatores eius.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos: et sicut servus, sic dominus eius: sicut ancilla, sic domina eius: sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit: sicut foenerator, sic is qui mutuum accipit: sicut qui repetit, sic qui debet.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for Yhwh hath spoken this word.
Dissipatione dissipabitur terra, et direptione praedabitur. Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
Luxit, et defluxit terra, et infirmata est: defluxit orbis, infirmata est altitudo populi terrae.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Et terra infecta est ab habitatoribus suis: quia transgressi sunt leges, mutaverunt ius, dissipaverunt foedus sempiternum.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores eius: ideoque insanient cultores eius, et relinquentur homines pauci.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
Luxit vindemia, infirmata est vitis, ingemuerunt omnes qui laetabantur corde.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Cessavit gaudium tympanorum, quievit sonitus laetantium, conticuit dulcedo citharae.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Cum cantico non bibent vinum: amara erit potio bibentibus illam.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Attrita est civitas vanitatis, clausa est omnis domus nullo introeunte.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Clamor erit super vino in plateis: deserta est omnia laetitia: translatum est gaudium terrae.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et calamitas opprimet portas.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
Quia haec erunt in medio terrae, in medio populorum: quomodo si paucae olivae, quae remanserunt, excutiantur ex olea: et racemi, cum fuerit finita vindemia.
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of Yhwh, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Hi levabunt vocem suam, atque laudabunt: cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus, hinnient de mari.
15 Wherefore glorify ye Yhwh in the fires, even the name of Yhwh God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum: in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israel.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
A finibus terrae laudes audivimus, gloriam iusti. Et dixi: Secretum meum mihi, secretum meum mihi, vae mihi: praevaricantes praevaricati sunt, et praevaricatione transgressorum praevaricati sunt.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Formido, et fovea, et laqueus super te, qui habitator es terrae.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Et erit: Qui fugerit a voce formidinis, cadet in foveam: et qui se explicaverit de fovea, tenebitur laqueo: quia cataractae de excelsis apertae sunt, et concutientur fundamenta terrae.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Confractione confringetur terra, contritione conteretur terra, commotione commovebitur terra,
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius, et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis: et gravabit eam iniquitas sua, et corruet, et non adiiciet ut resurgat.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yhwh shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Et erit: In die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam caeli in excelso: et super reges terrae, qui sunt super terram.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Et congregabuntur in congregatione unius fascis in lacum, et claudentur ibi in carcere: et post multos dies visitabuntur.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when Yhwh of Armies shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Et erubescet luna, et confundetur sol, cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion, et in Ierusalem, et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus.
