Esias 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.
vae coronae superbiae ebriis Ephraim et flori decidenti gloriae exultationis eius qui erant in vertice vallis pinguissimae errantes a vino
2 Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.
ecce validus et fortis Domini sicut impetus grandinis turbo confringens sicut impetus aquarum multarum inundantium et emissarum super terram spatiosam
3 The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.
pedibus conculcabitur corona superbiae ebriorum Ephraim
4 And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.
et erit flos decidens gloriae exultationis eius qui est super verticem vallis pinguium quasi temporaneum ante maturitatem autumni quod cum aspexerit videns statim ut manu tenuerit devorabit illud
5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people.
in die illa erit Dominus exercituum corona gloriae et sertum exultationis residuo populi sui
6 They shall be left in the spirit of judgment for judgment, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
et spiritus iudicii sedenti super iudicium et fortitudo revertentibus de bello ad portam
7 For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision.
verum hii quoque prae vino nescierunt et prae ebrietate erraverunt sacerdos et propheta nescierunt prae ebrietate absorti sunt a vino erraverunt in ebrietate nescierunt videntem ignoraverunt iudicium
8 A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness.
omnes enim mensae repletae sunt vomitu sordiumque ita ut non esset ultra locus
9 To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.
quem docebit scientiam et quem intellegere faciet auditum ablactatos a lacte apulsos ab uberibus
10 Expect you affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet a little,
quia manda remanda manda remanda expecta reexpecta expecta reexpecta modicum ibi modicum ibi
11 by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,
in loquella enim labii et lingua altera loquetur ad populum istum
12 This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.
cui dixit haec requies reficite lassum et hoc est meum refrigerium et noluerunt audire
13 Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
et erit eis verbum Domini manda remanda manda remanda expecta reexpecta expecta reexpecta modicum ibi modicum ibi ut vadant et cadant retrorsum et conterantur et inlaqueentur et capiantur
14 Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, you afflicted men, and you princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
propter hoc audite verbum Domini viri inlusores qui dominamini super populum meum qui est in Hierusalem
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: (Sheol h7585)
dixistis enim percussimus foedus cum morte et cum inferno fecimus pactum flagellum inundans cum transierit non veniet super nos quia posuimus mendacium spem nostram et mendacio protecti sumus (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.
idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego mittam in fundamentis Sion lapidem lapidem probatum angularem pretiosum in fundamento fundatum qui crediderit non festinet
17 And I will cause judgment [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and you that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
et ponam iudicium in pondere et iustitiam in mensura et subvertet grando spem mendacii et protectionem aquae inundabunt
18 except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, you shall be beaten down by it. (Sheol h7585)
et delebitur foedus vestrum cum morte et pactum vestrum cum inferno non stabit flagellum inundans cum transierit eritis ei in conculcationem (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,
quandocumque pertransierit tollet vos quoniam mane diluculo pertransibit in die et in nocte et tantummodo sola vexatio intellectum dabit auditui
20 you that are distressed; we can’t fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.
coangustatum est enim stratum ita ut alter decidat et pallium breve utrumque operire non potest
21 The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.
sicut enim in monte Divisionum stabit Dominus sicut in valle quae est in Gabao irascetur ut faciat opus suum alienum opus eius ut operetur opus suum peregrinum est opus ab eo
22 Therefore do not you rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.
et nunc nolite inludere ne forte constringantur vincula vestra consummationem enim et adbreviationem audivi a Domino Deo exercituum super universam terram
23 Listen, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.
auribus percipite et audite vocem meam adtendite et audite eloquium meum
24 Will the plowman plow all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?
numquid tota die arabit arans ut serat proscindet et sariet humum suam
25 Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in your borders?
nonne cum adaequaverit faciem eius seret gith et cyminum sparget et ponet triticum per ordinem et hordeum et milium et viciam in finibus suis
26 So you shall be chastened by the judgment of your God, and shall rejoice.
et erudiet eum illud in iudicio Deus suus docebit eum illud
27 For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;
non enim in serris triturabitur gith nec rota plaustri super cyminum circumiet sed in virga excutietur gith et cyminum in baculo
28 for I will not be angry with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
panis autem comminuetur verum non in perpetuum triturans triturabit illum neque vexabit eum rota plaustri nec in ungulis suis comminuet eum
29 And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.
et hoc a Domino Deo exercituum exivit ut mirabile faceret consilium et magnificaret iustitiam
