Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
Vae qui condunt leges iniquas: et scribentes, iniustitiam scripserunt:
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!
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 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they 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 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
Vae Assur, virga furoris mei et baculus ipse est, in manu eorum indignatio mea.
6 I will send him against a hypocritical 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 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 altogether 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, and whose graven images excelled 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 to 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 saith, 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 people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant [man]:
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 people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
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 ax boast itself against him that heweth with it? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it, [or] as if the staff should lift [itself], [as if it were] no 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 will the LORD, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he will kindle a burning like the burning of a 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 shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
Et gloria saltus eius, et carmeli eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur, et erit terrore profugus.
19 And the rest 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 such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean 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 The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Reliquiae convertentur, reliquiae, inquam, Iacob ad Deum fortem.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Si enim fuerit populus tuus Israel quasi arena maris, reliquiae convertentur ex eo, consummatio abbreviata inundabit iustitiam.
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Consummationem enim et abbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terrae.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall 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 cease, and my anger in their destruction.
Adhuc enim paululum modicumque et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum.
26 And the LORD of hosts will raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he 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 be taken away 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 to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his furniture.
Veniet in Aiath, transibit in Magron: apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua.
29 They have gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
Transierunt cursim Gaba sedes nostra: obstupuit Rama, Gabaath Saulis fugit.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Hinni voce tua filia Gallim, attende Laisa, paupercula Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Migravit Medemena: habitatores Gabim confortamini.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] 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 will lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
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 forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro: et Libanus cum excelsis cadet.
