Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
Prope est ut veniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabuntur. Miserebitur enim Dominus Iacob, et eliget adhuc de Israel, et requiescere eos faciet super humum suam: adiungetur advena ad eos, et adhærebit domui Iacob.
2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Jehovah's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Et tenebunt eos populi, et adducent eos in locum suum: et possidebit eos domus Israel super terram Domini in servos et ancillas: et erunt capientes eos, qui se ceperant, et subiicient exactores suos.
3 It will happen in the day that Jehovah will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
Et erit in die illa: cum requiem dederit tibi Deus a labore tuo, et a concussione tua, et a servitute dura, qua ante servisti:
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased. How the attacker has ceased."
sumes parabolam istam contra regem Babylonis, et dices: Quomodo cessavit exactor, quievit tributum?
5 Jehovah has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
Contrivit Dominus baculum impiorum, virgam dominantium,
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
cædentem populos in indignatione, plaga insanabili, subiicientem in furore gentes, persequentem crudeliter.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.
Conquievit et siluit omnis terra, gavisa est et exultavit:
8 Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."
abietes quoque lætatæ sunt super te, et cedri Libani: ex quo dormisti, non ascendet qui succidat nos.
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Infernus subter conturbatus est in occursum adventus tui, suscitavit tibi gigantes. Omnes principes terræ surrexerunt de soliis suis, omnes principes nationum. (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"
Universi respondebunt, et dicent tibi: Et tu vulneratus es sicut et nos, nostri similis effectus es.
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
Detracta est ad inferos superbia tua, concidit cadaver tuum: subter te sternetur tinea, et operimentum tuum erunt vermes. (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
Quomodo cecidisti de cælo lucifer, qui mane oriebaris? corruisti in terram, qui vulnerabas gentes?
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.
qui dicebas in corde tuo: In cælum conscendam, super astra Dei exaltabo solium meum, sedebo in monte testamenti, in lateribus Aquilonis,
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High."
Ascendam super altitudinem nubium, similis ero Altissimo.
Verumtamen ad infernum detraheris in profundum laci: (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;
qui te viderint, ad te inclinabuntur, teque prospicient: Numquid iste est vir, qui conturbavit terram, qui concussit regna,
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who did not release his prisoners to their home?"
qui posuit orbem desertum, et urbes eius destruxit, vinctis eius non aperuit carcerem?
18 All the kings of the nations lie in splendor, everyone in his own house.
Omnes reges gentium universi dormierunt in gloria, vir in domo sua.
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
Tu autem proiectus es de sepulchro tuo, quasi stirps inutilis pollutus, et obvolutus cum his, qui interfecti sunt gladio, et descenderunt ad fundamenta laci, quasi cadaver putridum.
20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be mentioned forever.
Non habebis consortium, neque cum eis in sepultura: tu enim terram tuam disperdidisti, tu populum tuum occidisti: non vocabitur in æternum semen pessimorum.
21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
Præparate filios eius occisioni in iniquitate patrum suorum: non consurgent, nec hereditabunt terram, neque implebunt faciem orbis civitatum.
22 "I will rise up against them," says Jehovah of hosts, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says Jehovah.
Et consurgam super eos, dicit Dominus exercituum: et perdam Babylonis nomen, et reliquias, et germen, et progeniem, dicit Dominus.
23 "I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says Jehovah of hosts.
Et ponam eam in possessionem ericii, et in paludes aquarum, et scopabo eam in scopa terens, dicit Dominus exercituum.
24 Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Iuravit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Si non, ut putavi, ita erit: et quo modo mente tractavi,
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
sic eveniet: Ut conteram Assyrium in terra mea, et in montibus meis conculcem eum: et auferetur ab eis iugum eius, et onus illius ab humero eorum tolletur.
26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Hoc consilium, quod cogitavi super omnem terram, et hæc est manus extenta super universas gentes.
27 For Jehovah of hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"
Dominus enim exercituum decrevit: et quis poterit infirmare? et manus eius extenta: et quis avertet eam?
28 This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
In anno, quo mortuus est rex Achaz, factum est onus istud:
29 Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
ne lætaris Philisthæa omnis tu, quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui: de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus, et semen eius absorbens volucrem.
30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
Et pascentur primogeniti pauperum, et pauperes fiducialiter requiescent: et interire faciam in fame radicem tuam, et reliquias tuas interficiam.
31 Howl, gate. Cry, city. You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Ulula porta, clama civitas: prostrata est Philisthæa omnis: ab Aquilone enim fumus veniet, et non est qui effugiet agmen eius.
32 What then is one to answer the messengers of this nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
Et quid respondebitur nunciis gentis? Quia Dominus fundavit Sion, et in ipso sperabunt pauperes populi eius.
