Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
Accedite gentes, et audite, et populi attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo eius, orbis, et omne germen eius.
2 For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.
3 The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; and the mountains will soak up their blood.
Interfecti eorum proiicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor: tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.
4 All the stars of the sky will fade away, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away, as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs from the 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 when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus: ecce super Idumæam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meæ ad iudicium.
6 The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and 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 Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus: inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium:
8 For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum iudicii Sion.
9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will become burning pitch.
Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur: et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.
10 It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; from generation to generation it will be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius: a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam.
11 But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
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 will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
Nobiles eius non erunt ibi: regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.
13 Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
Et orientur in domibus eius spinæ, et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus eius: et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
14 The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum: ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.
15 Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its mate.
Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra eius: illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.
16 Search through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing. None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has 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 He has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live there.
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.
