Esias 10
1 Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,
Væ qui condunt leges iniquas, et scribentes injustitiam scripserunt,
2 perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.
ut opprimerent in judicio pauperes, et vim facerent causæ humilium populi mei; ut essent viduæ præda eorum, et pupillos diriperent.
3 And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,
Quid facietis in die visitationis, et calamitatis de longe venientis? ad cujus confugietis auxilium? et ubi derelinquetis gloriam vestram,
4 that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
ne incurvemini sub vinculo, et cum interfectis cadatis? Super omnibus his non est aversus furor ejus, sed adhuc manus ejus extenta.
5 Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.
Væ Assur! virga furoris mei et baculus ipse est; in manu eorum indignatio mea.
6 I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.
Ad gentem fallacem mittam eum, et contra populum furoris mei mandabo illi, ut auferat spolia, et diripiat prædam, et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum.
7 But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.
Ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur, et cor ejus non ita existimabit; sed ad conterendum erit cor ejus, et ad internecionem gentium non paucarum.
8 And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;
Dicet enim:
9 then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?
Numquid non principes mei simul reges sunt? numquid non ut Charcamis, sic Calano? et ut Arphad, sic Emath? numquid non ut Damascus, sic Samaria?
10 As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.
Quomodo invenit manus mea regna idoli, sic et simulacra eorum de Jerusalem et de Samaria.
11 For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.
Numquid non sicut feci Samariæ et idolis ejus, sic faciam Jerusalem et simulacris ejus?
12 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.
Et erit, cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion et in Jerusalem, visitabo super fructum magnifici cordis regis Assur, et super gloriam altitudinis oculorum ejus.
13 For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.
Dixit enim: In fortitudine manus meæ feci, et in sapientia mea intellexi; et abstuli terminos populorum, et principes eorum deprædatus sum, et detraxi quasi potens in sublimi residentes.
14 And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.
Et invenit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum; et sicut colliguntur ova quæ derelicta sunt, sic universam terram ego congregavi; et non fuit qui moveret pennam, et aperiret os, et ganniret.
15 Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;
Numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum qui secat in ea? aut exaltabitur serra contra eum a quo trahitur? Quomodo si elevetur virga contra elevantem se, et exaltetur baculus, qui utique lignum est.
16 but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.
Propter hoc mittet Dominator, Dominus exercituum, in pinguibus ejus tenuitatem; et subtus gloriam ejus succensa ardebit quasi combustio ignis.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.
Et erit lumen Israël in igne, et Sanctus ejus in flamma; et succendetur, et devorabitur spina ejus et vepres in die una.
18 In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.
Et gloria saltus ejus, et carmeli ejus, ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur; et erit terrore profugus.
19 And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.
Et reliquiæ ligni saltus ejus præ paucitate numerabuntur, et puer scribet eos.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.
Et erit in die illa: non adjiciet residuum Israël, et hi qui fugerint de domo Jacob, inniti super eo qui percutit eos; sed innitetur super Dominum, Sanctum Israël, in veritate.
21 And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.
Reliquiæ convertentur; reliquiæ, inquam, Jacob ad Deum fortem.
22 And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.
Si enim fuerit populus tuus, Israël, quasi arena maris, reliquiæ convertentur ex eo; consummatio abbreviata inundabit justitiam.
23 He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.
Consummationem enim et abbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terræ.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.
Propter hoc, hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Noli timere, populus meus, habitator Sion, ab Assur: in virga percutiet te, et baculum suum levabit super te, in via Ægypti.
25 For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.
Adhuc enim paululum modicumque, et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum.
26 And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.
Et suscitabit super eum Dominus exercituum flagellum, juxta plagam Madian in petra Oreb: et virgam suam super mare, et levabit eam in via Ægypti.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.
Et erit in die illa: auferetur onus ejus de humero tuo et jugum ejus de collo tuo, et computrescet jugum a facie olei.
28 For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.
Veniet in Ajath, transibit in Magron, apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua.
29 And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.
Transierunt cursim, Gaba sedes nostra; obstupuit Rama, Gabaath Saulis fugit.
30 The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.
Hinni voce tua, filia Gallim, attende Laisa, paupercula Anathoth.
31 Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.
Migravit Medemena; habitatores Gabim, confortamini.
32 Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.
Adhuc dies est ut in Nobe stetur; agitabit manum suam super montem filiæ Sion, collem Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:
Ecce Dominator, Dominus exercituum, confringet lagunculam in terrore; et excelsi statura succidentur, et sublimes humiliabuntur.
34 and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
Et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro; et Libanus cum excelsis cadet.
