Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness:
Vae qui condunt leges iniquas: et scribentes, iniustitiam scripserunt:
2 to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of my people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
ut opprimerent in iudicio pauperes, et vim facerent causae humilium populi mei: ut essent viduae praeda eorum, et pupillos diriperent.
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Quid facietis in die visitationis, et calamitatis de longe venientis? ad cuius confugietis auxilium? et ubi derelinquetis gloriam vestram,
4 They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
ne incurvemini sub vinculo, et cum interfectis cadatis? Super omnibus his non est aversus furor eius, sed adhuc manus eius extenta.
5 Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!
Vae Assur, virga furoris mei et baculus ipse est, in manu eorum indignatio mea.
6 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ad gentem fallacem mittam eum, et contra populum furoris mei mandabo illi, ut auferat spolia, et diripiat praedam, et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur, et cor eius non ita existimabit: sed ad conterendum erit cor eius, et ad internecionem gentium non paucarum.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?
Dicet enim:
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
Numquid non principes mei simul reges sunt? numquid non ut Charcamis, sic Calano: et ut Arphad, sic Emath? numquid non ut Damascus, sic Samaria?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Quomodo invenit manus mea regna idoli, sic et simulachra eorum de Ierusalem, et de Samaria.
11 shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Numquid non sicut feci Samariae et idolis eius, sic faciam Ierusalem et simulachris eius?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Et erit: cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion, et in Ierusalem, visitabo super fructum magnifici cordis regis Assur, et super gloriam altitudinis oculorum eius.
13 For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and I have brought down as a valiant man them that sit [on thrones]:
Dixit enim: In fortitudine manus meae feci, et in sapientia mea intellexi: et abstuli terminos populorum, et principes eorum depraedatus sum, et detraxi quasi potens in sublimi residentes.
14 and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
Et invenit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum: et sicut colliguntur ova, quae derelicta sunt, sic universam terram ego congregavi: et non fuit qui moveret pennam, et aperiret os, et ganniret.
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if a rod should shake them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
Numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum, qui secat in ea? aut exaltabitur serra contra eum, a quo trahitur? quomodo si elevetur virga contra elevantem se, et exaltetur baculus, qui utique lignum est.
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
Propter hoc mittet dominator Dominus exercituum in pinguibus eius tenuitatem: et subtus gloriam eius succensa ardebit quasi combustio ignis.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
Et erit lumen Israel in igne, et Sanctus eius in flamma: et succendetur, et devorabitur spina eius, et vepres in die una.
18 And he shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
Et gloria saltus eius, et carmeli eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur, et erit terrore profugus.
19 And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
Et reliquiae ligni saltus eius prae paucitate numerabuntur, et puer scribet eos.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Et erit in die illa: non adiiciet residuum Israel, et hi, qui fugerint de domo Iacob, inniti super eo, qui percutit eos: sed innitetur super Dominum sanctum Israel in veritate.
21 A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
Reliquiae convertentur, reliquiae, inquam, Iacob ad Deum fortem.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a consumption [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Si enim fuerit populus tuus Israel quasi arena maris, reliquiae convertentur ex eo, consummatio abbreviata inundabit iustitiam.
23 For a consummation, and that determined, shall the Lord, the LORD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
Consummationem enim et abbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terrae.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Propter hoc, haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Noli timere populus meus habitator Sion, ab Assur: in virga percutiet te, et baculum suum levabit super te in via Aegypti.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.
Adhuc enim paululum modicumque et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod shall be over the sea, and he shall lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Et suscitabit super eum Dominus exercituum flagellum iuxta plagam Madian in Petra Oreb, et virgam suam super mare, et levabit eam in via Aegypti.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Et erit in die illa: Auferetur onus eius de humero tuo, et iugum eius de collo tuo, et computrescet iugum a facie olei.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage:
Veniet in Aiath, transibit in Magron: apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua.
29 they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
Transierunt cursim Gaba sedes nostra: obstupuit Rama, Gabaath Saulis fugit.
30 Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!
Hinni voce tua filia Gallim, attende Laisa, paupercula Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Migravit Medemena: habitatores Gabim confortamini.
32 This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Adhuc dies est, ut in Nobe stetur: agitabit manum suam super montem filiae Sion, collem Ierusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.
Ecce dominator Dominus exercituum confringet lagunculam in terrore, et excelsi statura succidentur, et sublimes humiliabuntur.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro: et Libanus cum excelsis cadet.
