Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
Descende, sede in pulvere virgo filia Babylon, sede in terra: non est solium filiae Chaldaeorum, quia ultra non vocaberis mollis et tenera.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Tolle molam, et mole farinam: denuda turpitudinem tuam, discooperi humerum, revela crura, transi flumina.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
Revelabitur ignominia tua, et videbitur opprobrium tuum: ultionem capiam, et non resistet mihi homo.
4 [As for] our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Redemptor noster, Dominus exercituum nomen illius sanctus Israel.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Sede tacens, et intra in tenebras filia Chaldaeorum: quia non vocaberis ultra domina regnorum.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Iratus sum super populum meum, contaminavi hereditatem meam, et dedi eos in manu tua: non posuisti eis misericordias: super senem aggravasti iugum tuum valde.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Et dixisti: In sempiternum ero domina: non posuisti haec super cor tuum, neque recordata es novissimi tui.
8 Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thy heart, I [am], and none else besides me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Et nunc audi haec delicata, et habitans confidenter, quae dicis in corde tuo: Ego sum, et non est praeter me amplius: non sedebo vidua, et ignorabo sterilitatem.
9 But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thy enchantments.
Venient tibi duo haec subito in die una, sterilitas et viduitas. universa venerunt super te, propter multitudinem maleficiorum tuorum, et propter duritiam incantatorum tuorum vehementem.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, I [am], and none else besides me.
Et fiduciam habuisti in malitia tua, et dixisti: Non est qui videat me. sapientia tua et scientia tua haec decepit te. Et dixisti in corde tuo: Ego sum, et praeter me non est altera.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.
Veniet super te malum, et nescies ortum eius: irruet super te calamitas, quam non poteris expiare: veniet super te repente miseria, quam nescies.
12 Stand now with thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth; if thou shalt be able to profit, if thou mayest prevail.
Sta cum incantatoribus tuis, et cum multitudine maleficiorum tuorum, in quibus laborasti ab adolescentia tua, si forte quod prosit tibi, aut si possis fieri fortior.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.
Defecisti in multitudine consiliorum tuorum: stent, et salvent te augures caeli, qui contemplabantur sidera, et supputabant menses, ut ex eis annunciarent ventura tibi.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
Ecce facti sunt quasi stipula, ignis combussit eos: non liberabunt animam suam de manu flammae: non sunt prunae, quibus calefiant, nec focus, ut sedeant ad eum.
15 Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast labored, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Sic facta sunt tibi in quibuscumque laboraveras: negotiatores tui ab adolescentia tua, unusquisque in via sua erraverunt: non est qui salvet te.
