Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear. Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.
Accedite Gentes, et audite, et populi attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo eius, orbis, et omne germen eius.
2 For YHWH is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
Quia indignatio Domini super omnes Gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.
3 Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up; and the mountains will melt in their blood.
Interfecti eorum proiicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet foetor: tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.
4 And all the host of heaven will rot away, and the heavens will be rolled up like a scroll. And all their host will wither, as a leaf withering from the vine, and as leaves withering from the fig tree.
Et tabescet omnis militia caelorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber caeli: et omnis militia eorum defluet sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Look, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
Quoniam inebriatus est in caelo gladius meus: ecce super Idumaeam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meae ad iudicium.
6 YHWH's sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for YHWH has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum, et hircorum, de sanguine medullatorum arietum: victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in Terra Edom.
7 The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be soaked with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus: inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium:
8 For YHWH has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum iudicii Sion.
9 Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, And its land will become burning pitch.
Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur: et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.
10 It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius: a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in saecula saeculorum non erit transiens per eam.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus, et ericius: ibix, et corvus habitabunt in ea: et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
Nobiles eius non erunt ibi: regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.
13 Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
Et orientur in domibus eius spinae, et urticae, et paliurus in munitionibus eius: et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
14 And the wildcats will meet with the hyenas, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. There too, nocturnal animals shall settle, and shall find themselves a place of rest.
Et occurrent daemonia onocentaurus, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum: ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.
15 The owl will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the vultures will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra eius: illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.
16 Search in the scroll of YHWH, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite: unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quaesivit: quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.
17 He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit eam illis in mensuram: usque in aeternum possidebunt eam, in generatione et generationem habitabunt in ea.
