Isaiah 30
1 Woe [to] apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My spirit, So as to add sin to sin.
Væ filii desertores, dicit Dominus, ut faceretis consilium, et non ex me: et ordiremini telam, et non per spiritum meum, ut adderetis peccatum super peccatum:
2 Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And My mouth have not asked, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
qui ambulatis ut descendatis in Ægyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine Pharaonis, et habentes fiduciam in umbra Ægypti.
3 And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
Et erit vobis fortitudo Pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia umbræ Ægypti in ignominiam.
4 For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach Hanes.
Erant enim in Tani principes tui, et nuncii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerunt.
5 All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
Omnes confusi sunt super populo, qui eis prodesse non potuit: non fuerunt in auxilium et in aliquam utilitatem, sed in confusionem et in opprobrium.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, Whence [are] viper and flying saraph, They carry on the shoulder of asses their wealth, And on the hump of camels their treasures, Unto a people not profitable.
Onus iumentorum Austri. In terra tribulationis et angustiæ leæna, et leo ex eis, vipera et regulus volans portantes super humeros iumentorum divitias suas, et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.
7 Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: 'Their strength [is] to sit still.'
Ægyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur: ideo clamavi super hoc: Superbia tantum est, quiesce.
8 No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the age,
Nunc ergo ingressus scribe ei super buxum, et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in die novissimo in testimonium usque in æternum.
9 That a rebellious people [is] this, sons — liars, Sons not willing to hear the law of Jehovah.
populus enim ad iracundiam provocans est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Dei.
10 Who have said to seers, 'Ye do not see,' And to prophets, 'Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
Qui dicunt videntibus: Nolite videre: et aspicientibus: Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quæ recta sunt: loquimini nobis placentia, videte nobis errores.
11 Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'
Auferte a me viam, declinate a me semitam, cesset a facie nostra sanctus Israel.
12 Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
Propterea hæc dicit sanctus Israel: Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc, et sperastis in calumnia et in tumultu, et innixi estis super eo:
13 Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly, at an instant cometh.
propterea erit vobis iniquitas hæc sicut interruptio cadens, et requisita in muro excelso, quoniam subito, dum non speratur, veniet contritio eius.
14 And He hath broken it As the breaking of the potters' bottle, Beaten down — He doth not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.
Et comminuetur sicut conteritur lagena figuli contritione pervalida: et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua portetur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur parum aquæ de fovea.
15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus sanctus Israel: Si revertamini et quiescatis, salvi eritis: in silentio, et in spe erit fortitudo vestra. Et noluistis:
16 And ye say, No, for on a horse we flee? Therefore ye flee, And on the swift we ride! Therefore swift are your pursuers.
et dixistis: Nequaquam, sed ad equos fugiemus: ideo fugietis. Et super veloces ascendemus: ideo velociores erunt, qui persequentur vos.
17 One thousand because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five ye flee, Till ye have been surely left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
Mille homines a facie terroris unius: et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus navis in vertice montis, et quasi signum super collem.
18 And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment [is] Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
Propterea expectat Dominus ut misereatur vestri: et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis: quia Deus iudicii Dominus: beati omnes qui exspectant eum.
19 For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou not, weeping, Pitying, He pitieth thee at the voice of thy cry, When He heareth He answereth thee.
Populus enim Sion habitabit in Ierusalem: plorans nequaquam plorabis, miserans miserebitur tui: ad vocem clamoris tui statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.
20 And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And thine eyes have seen thy directors,
Et dabit vobis Dominus panem arctum, et aquam brevem: et non faciet avolare a te ultra doctorem tuum: et erunt oculi tui videntes præceptorem tuum.
21 And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, 'This [is] the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.
Et aures tuæ audient verbum post tergum monentis: Hæc est via, ambulate in ea: et non declinetis neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
22 And ye have defiled the covering of Thy graven images of silver, And the ephod of thy molten image of gold, Thou scatterest them as a sickening thing, 'Go out,' thou sayest to it.
Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argenti tui, et vestimentum conflatilis auri tui, et disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatæ. Egredere, dices ei:
23 And He hath given rain [for] thy seed, With which thou dost sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it hath been fat and plenteous, Enjoy do thy cattle in that day an enlarged pasture.
Et dabitur pluvia semini tuo, ubicumque seminaveris in terra: et panis frugum terræ erit uberrimus, et pinguis. pascetur in possessione tua in die illo agnus spatiose:
24 And the oxen and the young asses serving the ground, Fermented provender do eat, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.
et tauri tui, et pulli asinorum, qui operantur terram, commistum migma comedent sicut in area ventilatum est.
25 And there hath been on every high mount, And on every exalted hill, Rivulets — streams of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum, et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum cum ceciderint turres.
26 And the light of the moon hath been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of Jehovah's binding up the breach of His people, When the stroke of its wound He healeth.
Et erit lux lunæ sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui, et percussuram plagæ eius sanaverit.
27 Lo, the name of Jehovah is coming from far, Burning is His anger, and great the flame, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire.
Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis ad portandum: labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.
28 And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, Unto the neck it divideth, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans usque ad medium colli ad perdendas gentes in nihilum, et frenum erroris, quod erat in maxillis populorum.
29 Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go in to the mountain of Jehovah, Unto the rock of Israel.
Canticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificatæ sollemnitatis, et lætitia cordis sicut qui pergit cum tibia, ut intret in montem Domini ad fortem Israel.
30 And caused to be heard hath Jehovah The honour of His voice, And the coming down of His arm He doth shew with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suæ, et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris, et flamma ignis devorantis: allidet in turbine, et in lapide grandinis.
31 For from the voice of Jehovah broken down [is] Asshur, With a rod He smiteth.
A voce enim Domini pavebit Assur virga percussus.
32 And every passage of the settled staff, That Jehovah causeth to rest on him, Hath been with tabrets, and with harps, And in battles of shaking he hath fought with it.
Et erit transitus virgæ fundatus, quam requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis: et in bellis præcipuis expugnabit eos.
33 For, arranged from former time is Tophet, Even it for the king is prepared, He hath made deep, He hath made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of Jehovah, As a stream of brim stone, is burning in it!
Præparata est enim ab heri Topheth, a rege præparata, profunda, et dilatata. Nutrimenta eius, ignis et ligna multa: flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendens eam.
