Isaiah 47
1 “Come down, and sit on the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, Sit on the earth, there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans, For they no longer cry to you, O tender and delicate one.
Descende, sede in pulvere virgo filia Babylon, sede in terra: non est solium filiae Chaldaeorum, quia ultra non vocaberis mollis et tenera.
2 Take millstones, and grind flour, Remove your veil, draw up the skirt, Uncover the leg, pass over the floods.
Tolle molam, et mole farinam: denuda turpitudinem tuam, discooperi humerum, revela crura, transi flumina.
3 Your nakedness is revealed, indeed, your reproach is seen, I take vengeance, and I do not meet a man.”
Revelabitur ignominia tua, et videbitur opprobrium tuum: ultionem capiam, et non resistet mihi homo.
4 Our redeemer [is] YHWH of Hosts, His Name [is] the Holy One of Israel.
Redemptor noster, Dominus exercituum nomen illius sanctus Israel.
5 “Sit silent, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, For they no longer cry to you, Mistress of kingdoms.
Sede tacens, et intra in tenebras filia Chaldaeorum: quia non vocaberis ultra domina regnorum.
6 I have been angry against My people, I have defiled My inheritance And I give them into your hand, You have not appointed mercies for them, You have made your yoke very heavy on the aged,
Iratus sum super populum meum, contaminavi hereditatem meam, et dedi eos in manu tua: non posuisti eis misericordias: super senem aggravasti iugum tuum valde.
7 And you say, I am mistress for all time, While you have not laid these things to your heart, You have not remembered the latter end of it.
Et dixisti: In sempiternum ero domina: non posuisti haec super cor tuum, neque recordata es novissimi tui.
8 And now, hear this, O luxurious one, Who is sitting confidently—Who is saying in her heart, I [am], and none else, I do not sit [as] a widow, nor know bereavement.
Et nunc audi haec delicata, et habitans confidenter, quae dicis in corde tuo: Ego sum, et non est praeter me amplius: non sedebo vidua, et ignorabo sterilitatem.
9 And these two things come to you, In a moment, in one day: childlessness and widowhood, They have come on you according to their perfection, In the multitude of your sorceries, In the exceeding might of your charms.
Venient tibi duo haec subito in die una, sterilitas et viduitas. universa venerunt super te, propter multitudinem maleficiorum tuorum, et propter duritiam incantatorum tuorum vehementem.
10 And you are confident in your wickedness, You have said, There is none seeing me, Your wisdom and your knowledge, It is turning you back, And you say in your heart, I [am], and none else.
Et fiduciam habuisti in malitia tua, et dixisti: Non est qui videat me. sapientia tua et scientia tua haec decepit te. Et dixisti in corde tuo: Ego sum, et praeter me non est altera.
11 And evil has come in on you, You do not know its rising, And disaster falls on you, You are not able to pacify it, And desolation comes on you suddenly, You do not know.
Veniet super te malum, et nescies ortum eius: irruet super te calamitas, quam non poteris expiare: veniet super te repente miseria, quam nescies.
12 Now stand in your charms, And in the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth, It may be you are able to profit, It may be you terrify!
Sta cum incantatoribus tuis, et cum multitudine maleficiorum tuorum, in quibus laborasti ab adolescentia tua, si forte quod prosit tibi, aut si possis fieri fortior.
13 You have been wearied in the multitude of your counsels, Now stand up and let them save you—The charmers of the heavens, Those looking on the stars, Those teaching concerning the months—From those things that come on you!
Defecisti in multitudine consiliorum tuorum: stent, et salvent te augures caeli, qui contemplabantur sidera, et supputabant menses, ut ex eis annunciarent ventura tibi.
14 Behold, they have been as stubble! Fire has burned them, They do not deliver themselves from the power of the flame, There is not a coal to warm them, a light to sit before it.
Ecce facti sunt quasi stipula, ignis combussit eos: non liberabunt animam suam de manu flammae: non sunt prunae, quibus calefiant, nec focus, ut sedeant ad eum.
15 So they have been to you with whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth, They have each wandered to his passage, None is saving you!”
Sic facta sunt tibi in quibuscumque laboraveras: negotiatores tui ab adolescentia tua, unusquisque in via sua erraverunt: non est qui salvet te.
