Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Vae filii desertores, dicit Dominus, ut faceretis consilium, et non ex me: et ordiremini telam, et non per spiritum meum, ut adderetis peccatum super peccatum:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
qui ambulatis ut descendatis in Aegyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine Pharaonis, et habentes fiduciam in umbra Aegypti.
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt [your] confusion.
Et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia umbrae Aegypti in ignominiam.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Erant enim in Tani principes tui, et nuncii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerunt.
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Omnes confusi sunt super populo, qui eis prodesse non potuit: non fuerunt in auxilium et in aliquam utilitatem, sed in confusionem et in opprobrium.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that] shall not profit [them].
Onus iumentorum Austri. In terra tribulationis et angustiae leaena, et leo ex eis, vipera et regulus volans portantes super humeros iumentorum divitias suas, et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.
Aegyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur: ideo clamavi super hoc: Superbia tantum est, quiesce.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
Nunc ergo ingressus scribe ei super buxum, et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in die novissimo in testimonium usque in aeternum.
9 That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD:
populus enim ad iracundiam provocans est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Dei.
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Qui dicunt videntibus: Nolite videre: et aspicientibus: Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quae recta sunt: loquimini nobis placentia, videte nobis errores.
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Auferte a me viam, declinate a me semitam, cesset a facie nostra sanctus Israel.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
Propterea haec dicit sanctus Israel: Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc, et sperastis in calumnia et in tumultu, et innixi estis super eo:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens, et requisita in muro excelso, quoniam subito, dum non speratur, veniet contritio eius.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water [withal] out of the pit.
Et comminuetur sicut conteritur lagena figuli contritione pervalida: et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua portetur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur parum aquae de fovea.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Si revertamini et quiescatis, salvi eritis: in silentio, et in spe erit fortitudo vestra. Et noluistis:
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
et dixistis: Nequaquam, sed ad equos fugiemus: ideo fugietis. Et super veloces ascendemus: ideo velociores erunt, qui persequentur vos.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
Mille homines a facie terroris unius: et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus navis in vertice montis, et quasi signum super collem.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.
Propterea expectat Dominus ut misereatur vestri: et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis: quia Deus iudicii Dominus: beati omnes qui expectant eum.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
Populus enim Sion habitabit in Ierusalem: plorans nequaquam plorabis, miserans miserebitur tui: ad vocem clamoris tui statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.
20 And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
Et dabit vobis Dominus panem arctum, et aquam brevem: et non faciet avolare a te ultra doctorem tuum: et erunt oculi tui videntes praeceptorem tuum.
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Et aures tuae audient verbum post tergum monentis: Haec est via, ambulate in ea: et non declinetis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argenti tui, et vestimentum conflatilis auri tui, et disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatae. Egredere, dices ei:
23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Et dabitur pluvia semini tuo, ubicumque seminaveris in terra: et panis frugum terrae erit uberrimus, et pinguis. pascetur in possessione tua in die illo agnus spatiose:
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
et tauri tui, et pulli asinorum, qui operantur terram, commistum migma comedent sicut in area ventilatum est.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum, et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum cum ceciderint turres.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Et erit lux lunae sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui, et percussuram plagae eius sanaverit.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis ad portandum: labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.
Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans usque ad medium colli ad perdendas gentes in nihilum, et frenum erroris, quod erat in maxillis populorum.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
Canticum erit vobis sicut vox sanctificatae sollemnitatis, et laetitia cordis sicut qui pergit cum tibia, ut intret in montem Domini ad fortem Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suae, et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris, et flamma ignis devorantis: allidet in turbine, et in lapide grandinis.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [which] smote with a rod.
A voce enim Domini pavebit Assur virga percussus.
32 And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
Et erit transitus virgae fundatus, quam requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis: et in bellis praecipuis expugnabit eos.
33 For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Praeparata est enim ab heri Topheth, a rege praeparata, profunda, et dilatata. Nutrimenta eius, ignis et ligna multa: flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendens eam.
