Isaiæ 27
1 In die illa visitabit Dominus in gladio suo duro, et grandi, et forti, super Leviathan serpentem vectem, et super Leviathan serpentem tortuosum, et occidet cetum, qui in mari est.
In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
3 Ego Dominus, qui servo eam, repente propinabo ei: ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Indignatio non est mihi: quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio: gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter?
Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam, faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi?
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum? aut sicut occidit interfectos eius, sic occisus est?
Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?
8 In mensura contra mensuram, cum abiecta fuerit, iudicabis eam: meditatus est in spiritu suo duro per diem æstus.
In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed [them] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Iacob: et iste omnis fructus ut auferatur peccatum eius, cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides cineris allisos, non stabunt luci et delubra.
Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
10 Civitas enim munita desolata erit, speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum: ibi pascetur vitulus, et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates eius.
For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 In siccitate messes illius conterentur, mulieres venientes, et docentes eam: non est enim populus sapiens, propterea non miserebitur eius, qui fecit eum: et qui formavit eum, non parcet ei.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 Et erit: In die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Ægypti, et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off [his fruit] from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 Et erit: In die illa clangetur in tuba magna, et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum, et qui eiecti erant in Terra Ægypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Ierusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
