Isaiah 8
1 Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
et dixit Dominus ad me sume tibi librum grandem et scribe in eo stilo hominis Velociter spolia detrahe Cito praedare
2 I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
et adhibui mihi testes fideles Uriam sacerdotem et Zacchariam filium Barachiae
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
et accessi ad prophetissam et concepit et peperit filium et dixit Dominus ad me voca nomen eius Adcelera spolia detrahere Festina praedari
4 For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
quia antequam sciat puer vocare patrem suum et matrem suam auferetur fortitudo Damasci et spolia Samariae coram rege Assyriorum
5 Yahweh spoke to me again,
et adiecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc dicens
6 “Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloae quae vadunt cum silentio et adsumpsit magis Rasin et filium Romeliae
7 therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos aquas Fluminis fortes et multas regem Assyriorum et omnem gloriam eius et ascendet super omnes rivos eius et fluet super universas ripas eius
8 The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
et ibit per Iudam inundans et transiens usque ad collum veniet et erit extensio alarum eius implens latitudinem terrae tuae o Emmanuhel
9 You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
congregamini populi et vincimini et audite universae procul terrae confortamini et vincimini accingite vos et vincimini
10 Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, for God is with us.
inite consilium et dissipabitur loquimini verbum et non fiet quia nobiscum Deus
11 Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
haec enim ait Dominus ad me sicut in forti manu erudivit me ne irem in via populi huius dicens
12 Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
non dicatis coniuratio omnia enim quae loquitur populus iste coniuratio est et timorem eius ne timeatis neque paveatis
13 It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate ipse pavor vester et ipse terror vester
14 He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
et erit vobis in sanctificationem in lapidem autem offensionis et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israhel in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Hierusalem
15 Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
et offendent ex eis plurimi et cadent et conterentur et inretientur et capientur
16 Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
liga testimonium signa legem in discipulis meis
17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in him.
et expectabo Dominum qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob et praestolabor eum
18 See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
ecce ego et pueri quos mihi dedit Dominus in signum et in portentum Israhelis a Domino exercituum qui habitat in monte Sion
19 They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
et cum dixerint ad vos quaerite a pythonibus et a divinis qui stridunt in incantationibus suis numquid non populus a Deo suo requirit pro vivis a mortuis
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
ad legem magis et ad testimonium quod si non dixerint iuxta verbum hoc non erit eis matutina lux
21 They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
et transibit per eam corruet et esuriet et cum esurierit irascetur et maledicet regi suo et Deo suo et suspiciet sursum
22 They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
et ad terram intuebitur et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae dissolutio angustia et caligo persequens et non poterit avolare de angustia sua
