Isaiah 24
1 Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
Ecce Dominus dissipabit terram, et nudabit eam, et affliget faciem eius, et disperget habitatores eius.
2 It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos: et sicut servus, sic dominus eius: sicut ancilla, sic domina eius: sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit: sicut foenerator, sic is qui mutuum accipit: sicut qui repetit, sic qui debet.
3 The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.
Dissipatione dissipabitur terra, et direptione praedabitur. Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.
4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
Luxit, et defluxit terra, et infirmata est: defluxit orbis, infirmata est altitudo populi terrae.
5 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
Et terra infecta est ab habitatoribus suis: quia transgressi sunt leges, mutaverunt ius, dissipaverunt foedus sempiternum.
6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores eius: ideoque insanient cultores eius, et relinquentur homines pauci.
7 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
Luxit vindemia, infirmata est vitis, ingemuerunt omnes qui laetabantur corde.
8 The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
Cessavit gaudium tympanorum, quievit sonitus laetantium, conticuit dulcedo citharae.
9 They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
Cum cantico non bibent vinum: amara erit potio bibentibus illam.
10 The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Attrita est civitas vanitatis, clausa est omnis domus nullo introeunte.
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
Clamor erit super vino in plateis: deserta est omnia laetitia: translatum est gaudium terrae.
12 The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et calamitas opprimet portas.
13 For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
Quia haec erunt in medio terrae, in medio populorum: quomodo si paucae olivae, quae remanserunt, excutiantur ex olea: et racemi, cum fuerit finita vindemia.
14 These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.
Hi levabunt vocem suam, atque laudabunt: cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus, hinnient de mari.
15 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
Propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum: in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israel.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
A finibus terrae laudes audivimus, gloriam iusti. Et dixi: Secretum meum mihi, secretum meum mihi, vae mihi: praevaricantes praevaricati sunt, et praevaricatione transgressorum praevaricati sunt.
17 Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
Formido, et fovea, et laqueus super te, qui habitator es terrae.
18 It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
Et erit: Qui fugerit a voce formidinis, cadet in foveam: et qui se explicaverit de fovea, tenebitur laqueo: quia cataractae de excelsis apertae sunt, et concutientur fundamenta terrae.
19 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
Confractione confringetur terra, contritione conteretur terra, commotione commovebitur terra,
20 The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius, et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis: et gravabit eam iniquitas sua, et corruet, et non adiiciet ut resurgat.
21 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
Et erit: In die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam caeli in excelso: et super reges terrae, qui sunt super terram.
22 They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
Et congregabuntur in congregatione unius fascis in lacum, et claudentur ibi in carcere: et post multos dies visitabuntur.
23 Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
Et erubescet luna, et confundetur sol, cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion, et in Ierusalem, et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus.
