Isaiah 34
1 Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend, —Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom:
Accedite Gentes, et audite, et populi attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo eius, orbis, et omne germen eius.
2 That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, —He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;
Quia indignatio Domini super omnes Gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.
3 And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend, —And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood.
Interfecti eorum proiicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor: tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.
4 Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll, —Yea, all their host, shall fade—Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree.
Et tabescet omnis militia cælorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber cæli: et omnis militia eorum defluet sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.
5 For my sword hath been sated in the heavens, —Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice.
Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus: ecce super Idumæam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meæ ad iudicium.
6 A sword, hath Yahweh—Glutted with blood Sated with fat, —With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams, —For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea 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 Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, —So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.
Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus: inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium:
8 For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh, —A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.
quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum iudicii Sion.
9 Then shall the torrents thereof be turned into pitch, And the dust thereof, into brimstone, —So shall her land become burning pitch:
Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur: et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.
10 Neither night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age-abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof, —From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it:
Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius: a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam.
11 That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.
Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus, et ericius: ibis, et corvus habitabunt in ea: et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.
12 Her nobles (but none, are, there)! unto royalty, will call, —All, all her princes, shall become nought.
Nobiles eius non erunt ibi: regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.
13 Then shall come up, in her palaces thorns Nettles and thistles in her fortresses, —And she shall become A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches;
Et orientur in domibus eius spinæ, et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus eius: et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
14 Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call, —Only, there, shall, the night-spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest:
Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum: ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.
15 There, shall, the arrow-snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch and gather under her shadow, —Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, 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 Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate, —For, a mouth, hath, itself commanded, And, his spirit, hath itself gathered them:
Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite: unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quæsivit: quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.
17 Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line, —Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.
Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit eam illis in mensuram: usque in æternum possidebunt eam, in generationem et generationem habitabunt in ea.
