Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Væ filii desertores, dicit Dominus, ut faceretis consilium, et non ex me: et ordiremini telam, et non per spiritum meum, ut adderetis peccatum super peccatum:
2 that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
qui ambulatis ut descendatis in Ægyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine Pharaonis, et habentes fiduciam in umbra Ægypti.
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia umbræ Ægypti in ignominiam.
4 For his princes are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come to Hanes.
Erant enim in Tani principes tui, et nuncii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerunt.
5 They shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Omnes confusi sunt super populo, qui eis prodesse non potuit: non fuerunt in auxilium et in aliquam utilitatem, sed in confusionem et in opprobrium.
6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them].
Onus iumentorum Austri. In terra tribulationis et angustiæ leæna, et leo ex eis, vipera et regulus volans portantes super humeros iumentorum divitias suas, et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.
7 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.
Ægyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur: ideo clamavi super hoc: Superbia tantum est, quiesce.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
Nunc ergo ingressus scribe ei super buxum, et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in die novissimo in testimonium usque in æternum.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Populus enim ad iracundiam provocans est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Dei.
10 which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Qui dicunt videntibus: Nolite videre: et aspicientibus: Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quæ recta sunt: loquimini nobis placentia, videte nobis errores.
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Auferte a me viam, declinate a me semitam, cesset a facie nostra Sanctus Israel.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;
Propterea hæc dicit Sanctus Israel: Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc, et sperastis in calumnia et in tumultu, et innixi estis super eo:
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
propterea erit vobis iniquitas hæc sicut interruptio cadens, et requisita in muro excelso, quoniam subito, dum non speratur, veniet contritio eius.
14 And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the cistern.
Et comminuetur sicut conteritur lagena figuli contritione pervalida: et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua portetur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur parum aquæ de fovea.
15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Sanctus Israel: Si revertamini et quiescatis, salvi eritis: in silentio, et in spe erit fortitudo vestra. Et noluistis:
16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
et dixistis: Nequaquam, sed ad equos fugiemus: ideo fugietis. Et super veloces ascendemus: ideo velociores erunt, qui persequentur vos.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
Mille homines a facie terroris unius: et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus navis in vertice montis, et quasi signum super collem.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment; blessed are all they that wait for him.
Propterea expectat Dominus ut misereatur vestri: et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis: quia Deus iudicii Dominus: beati omnes qui expectant eum.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee.
Populus enim Sion habitabit in Ierusalem: plorans nequaquam plorabis, miserans miserebitur tui: ad vocem clamoris tui statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
Et dabit vobis Dominus panem arctum, et aquam brevem: et non faciet avolare a te ultra doctorem tuum: et erunt oculi tui videntes præceptorem tuum.
21 and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand and when e turn to the left.
Et aures tuæ audient verbum post tergum monentis: Hæc est via, ambulate in ea: et non declinetis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
22 And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argenti tui, et vestimentum conflatilis auri tui, et disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatæ. Egredere, dices ei:
23 And he shall give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Et dabitur pluvia semini tuo, ubicumque seminaveris in terra: et panis frugum terræ erit uberrimus, et pinguis. Pascetur in possessione tua in die illo agnus spatiose:
24 the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
et tauri tui, et pulli asinorum, qui operantur terram, commistum migma comedent sicut in area ventilatum est.
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum, et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum cum ceciderint turres.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Et erit lux lunæ sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui, et percussuram plagæ eius sanaverit.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire:
Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis ad portandum: labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.
28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and a bridle that causeth to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples.
Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans usque ad medium colli ad perdendas gentes in nihilum, et frenum erroris, quod erat in maxillis populorum.
29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
Canticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificatæ sollemnitatis, et lætitia cordis sicut qui pergit cum tibia, ut intret in montem Domini ad Fortem Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.
Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suæ, et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris, et flamma ignis devorantis: allidet in turbine, et in lapide grandinis.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be broken in pieces, which smote with a rod.
A voce enim Domini pavebit Assur virga percussus.
32 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which the LORD shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with them.
Et erit transitus virgæ fundatus, quam requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis: et in bellis præcipuis expugnabit eos.
33 For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Præparata est enim ab heri Topheth, a Rege præparata, profunda, et dilatata. Nutrimenta eius, ignis et ligna multa: flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendens eam.
