< Isaiah 22 >
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What is [troubling] you now, that you have gone up, All of you—to the roofs?
onus vallis Visionis quidnam tibi quoque est quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta
2 Full of stirs—a noisy city—an exulting city, Your pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
clamoris plena urbs frequens civitas exultans interfecti tui non interfecti gladio nec mortui in bello
3 All your rulers fled from the bow together, All found of you have been bound, They have been kept bound together, They have fled far off.
cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter procul fugerunt
4 Therefore I said, “Look [away] from me, I am bitter in my weeping, do not hurry to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
propterea dixi recedite a me amare flebo nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiae populi mei
5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In the Valley of Vision, digging down a wall, And crying to the mountain.
dies enim interfectionis et conculcationis et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle Visionis scrutans murum et magnificus super montem
6 And Elam has carried a quiver, In a chariot of men—horsemen, And Kir has exposed a shield.
et Aelam sumpsit faretram currum hominis equitis et parietem nudavit clypeus
7 And it comes to pass, The choice of your valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen diligently place themselves at the gate.
et erunt electae valles tuae plenae quadrigarum et equites ponent sedes suas in porta
8 And one removes the covering of Judah, And in that day you look To the armor of the house of the forest,
et revelabitur operimentum Iudae et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus
9 And you have seen the breaches of the City of David, For they have become many, And you gather the waters of the lower pool,
et scissuras civitatis David videbitis quia multiplicatae sunt et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris
10 And you numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And you break down the houses to fortify the wall.
et domos Hierusalem numerastis et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum
11 And you made a ditch between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And you have not looked to its Maker, And you have not seen its Framer of old.
et lacum fecistis inter duos muros et aquam piscinae veteris et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam et operatorem eius de longe non vidistis
12 And the Lord calls, YHWH of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
et vocavit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum et ad planctum ad calvitium et ad cingulum sacci
13 And behold, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
et ecce gaudium et laetitia occidere vitulos et iugulare arietes comedere carnes et bibere vinum comedamus et bibamus cras enim moriemur
14 And it has been revealed in my ears, [By] YHWH of Hosts: This iniquity is not pardoned to you, Until you die, said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
et revelata est in auribus meis Domini exercituum si dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis donec moriamini dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
15 Thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Go forth, go to this steward, To Shebna, who [is] over the house:
haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum vade ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo ad Sobnam praepositum templi
16 What are you [doing] here? And who has [allowed] you here? That you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here? Hewing his tomb on high, Carving a dwelling for himself in a rock.
quid tu hic aut quasi quis hic quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum excidisti in excelso memoriam diligenter in petra tabernaculum tibi
17 Behold, YHWH is casting you up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
ecce Dominus asportari te faciet sicut asportatur gallus gallinacius et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te
18 And your coverer covering, wrapping around, Wraps you around, O babbler, On a land of broad sides—there you die, And there the chariots of your glory [are] the shame of the house of your lord.
coronans coronabit te tribulatione quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam ibi morieris et ibi erit currus gloriae tuae ignominia domus Domini tui
19 And I have thrust you from your station, And he throws you down from your office.
et expellam te de statione tua et de ministerio tuo deponam te
20 And it has come to pass in that day, That I have called to My servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
et erit in die illa vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helciae
21 And I have clothed him with your coat, And I strengthen him with your girdle, And I give your garment into his hand, And he has been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
et induam illum tunicam tuam et cingulo tuo confortabo eum et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius et erit quasi pater habitantibus Hierusalem et domui Iuda
22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he has opened, and none is shutting, And has shut, and none is opening.
et dabo clavem domus David super umerum eius et aperiet et non erit qui claudat et claudet et non erit qui aperiat
23 And I have fixed him [as] a nail in a steadfast place, And he has been for a throne of glory To the house of his father.
et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui
24 And they have hanged on him All the glory of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris eius vasorum diversa genera omne vas parvulum a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum
25 In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, The nail that is fixed is moved In a steadfast place, Indeed, it has been cut down, and has fallen, And the burden that [is] on it has been cut off, For YHWH has spoken!”
in die illo dicit Dominus exercituum auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli et frangetur et cadet et peribit quod pependerat in eo quia Dominus locutus est
