< Isaiah 27 >
1 In that day will Jehovah punish with his sword, His hard, and great, and strong sword, The leviathan, that fleet serpent, Even the leviathan, that winding serpent; Yea, he will slay the monster, that is in the sea.
In die illa visitabit Dominus in gladio suo duro, et grandi, et forti, super Leviathan serpentem vectem, et super Leviathan serpentem tortuosum, et occidet cetum, qui in mari est.
2 In that day, sing ye thus concerning the vineyard:
In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
3 “I, Jehovah, am its guardian; I will water it every moment; That no one may assault it, I will watch it day and night.
Ego Dominus, qui servo eam, repente propinabo ei: ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
4 There is no fury in me; But let me find the thorns and thistles in battle. I will go against them, And burn them up together,
Indignatio non est mihi: quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio: gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter?
5 Unless they take hold of my protection, And with me make peace, And make peace with me.”
An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam, faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi?
6 In coming days shall Jacob take root, And Israel flourish and bud forth, And fill the world with fruit.
Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
7 Did he smite Israel, as he smote those that smote him? Was he slain as those that slew him?
Numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum? aut sicut occidit interfectos eius, sic occisus est?
8 In measure, by sending her away, didst thou punish her, Taking her away in the rough tempest, in the day of the east wind.
In mensura contra mensuram, cum abiecta fuerit, iudicabis eam: meditatus est in spiritu suo duro per diem æstus.
9 By this, therefore, is the iniquity of Jacob expiated, And this is wholly the fruit of the removal of his sin, That He has made the stones of the altar like limestones broken in pieces, And that the images of Astarte and the sun-pillars no more stand.
Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Iacob: et iste omnis fructus ut auferatur peccatum eius, cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides cineris allisos, non stabunt luci et delubra.
10 For the fortified city is desolate, A habitation forsaken, deserted like a wilderness; There doth the calf feed, and there doth he lie down, And consume her branches.
Civitas enim munita desolata erit, speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum: ibi pascetur vitulus, et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates eius.
11 When her boughs are withered, they are broken off; Women come, and burn them; For it was a people of no understanding; Therefore he that made him had not mercy on him, And he that formed him showed him no favor.
In siccitate messes illius conterentur, mulieres venientes, et docentes eam: non est enim populus sapiens, propterea non miserebitur eius, qui fecit eum: et qui formavit eum, non parcet ei.
12 But it shall come to pass in that day, That Jehovah shall gather fruit From the stream of the Euphrates to the river of Egypt, And ye shall be gathered, one by one, ye children of Israel!
Et erit: In die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Ægypti, et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israel.
13 In that day shall a great trumpet be sounded, And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria, And are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship Jehovah upon the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Et erit: In die illa clangetur in tuba magna, et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum, et qui eiecti erant in Terra Ægypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Ierusalem.
