Isaiah 22
1 The prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, That all thine inhabitants are gone up to the house-tops?
Onus vallis visionis. Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta?
2 Thou that wast full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city! Thy slain fall not by the sword; They are not slain in battle.
clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exultans: interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.
3 All thy leaders flee together, By the bowmen are they bound; All found within thee are made captive together, Even they who have fled from afar.
Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul, dureque ligati sunt: omnes, qui inventi sunt, vincti sunt pariter, procul fugerunt.
4 Therefore, say I, look away from me, that I may weep bitterly; Strive not to comfort me for the desolation 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 trouble, of desolation, and of perplexity cometh From the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision. They break down the walls; The cry reacheth to the mountains.
Dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle visionis scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.
6 Elam beareth the quiver, With chariots full of men, and with horsemen; Kir uncovereth the shield.
Et Aelam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.
7 Thy fairest valleys, [[O Jerusalem, ]] are full of chariots; The horsemen set themselves in array against the gate;
Et erunt electae valles tuae plenae quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.
8 The veil of Judah is torn from her. But in such a day ye look to the armor of the house of the forest;
Et revelabitur operimentum Iuda, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.
9 Ye mark how many are the breaches of the city of David, And collect the waters of the lower pool;
Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatae sunt: et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris,
10 Ye number the houses of Jerusalem, And ye break down the houses to prepare the wall;
et domos Ierusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.
11 Ye make a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool; But ye look not to Him who hath done this; Ye regard not Him that hath prepared this from afar.
Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinae veteris: et non suspexistis ad eum, qui fecerat eam, et operatorem eius de longe non vidistis.
12 The Lord, Jehovah of hosts, calleth you this day To weeping and to lamentation, To baldness and to girding with sackcloth.
Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci:
13 But, behold, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating flesh and drinking wine! “Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow we die!”
et ecce gaudium et laetitia, occidere vitulos, et iugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum: Comedamus, et bibamus: cras enim moriemur.
14 Therefore it hath been revealed in my ears by Jehovah of hosts; “This iniquity shall not be forgiven you, till ye die,” Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum. Si dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
15 Thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Go in to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the household, and say,
Haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Vade, ingredere ad eum, qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam praepositum templi, et dices ad eum:
16 What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, That thou here hewest thee out a sepulchre, —That thou hewest out thy sepulchre on high, And gravest out a habitation for thyself in the rock?
Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic? quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter, in petra tabernaculum tibi.
17 Behold, Jehovah will cast thee headlong with a mighty thrust;
Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus, et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te.
18 He will violently roll thee together like a ball; Like a ball will he hurl thee into a wide country. There shalt thou die; And there shall be thy splendid chariots, Thou disgrace of the house of thy lord!
Coronas 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 I will drive thee from thy post, And from thy station I will pull thee down.
Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20 In that day I will call my servant, Even Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah;
Et erit in die illa: Vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helchiae,
21 I will clothe him with thy robe, And bind thy girdle around him; Thy government will I commit to his hand, And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius: et erit quasi pater habitantibus Ierusalem, et domui Iuda.
22 I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; He shall open, and none shall shut, And he shall shut, and none shall open.
Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum eius: et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat: et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23 I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, And he shall be a glorious seat for his father's house.
Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui.
24 Upon him shall hang all the glory of his father's house, The offspring and the offshoots; Every small vessel, from the goblet even to all the pitchers.
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, saith Jehovah of hosts, The peg that was once fastened in a sure place shall be moved; It shall be cut down, and fall, And the burden which was upon it shall come to the ground. For Jehovah hath said it.
In die illa 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.
