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.
On that day will the Lord punish with his heavy and great and strong sword leviathan the flying serpent, and leviathan the crooked servant; and he will slay the crocodile that is in the sea.
2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
On that day sing ye a song of the vineyard of excellent wine.
3 Ego Dominus, qui servo eam, repente propinabo ei: ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
“I the Lord do keep it; every moment will I water it: that no one shall hurt it, night and day will I keep it.
4 Indignatio non est mihi: quis dabit me spinam et veprem in praelio: gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter?
Wrath have I not: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would pass through them, and I would burn them altogether.
5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam, faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi?
If he but take hold of my strength, make peace with me; make peace with me.”
6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
In the future shall Jacob yet take root; Israel shall bud and blossom, and 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 him, as he smote the one that smote him? or was he slain with the same slaughter as those of him that were slain?
8 In mensura contra mensuram, cum abiecta fuerit, iudicabis eam: meditata est in spiritu suo duro per diem aestus.
In measure, by driving him forth, thou strivest with him: he removed him with his violent storm on 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 [only] shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this shall be all the fruit of the taking away of his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as limestones that are beaten in pieces, when there shall not arise again any groves and sun-images.
10 Civitas enim munita desolata erit, speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum: ibi pascetur vitulus, et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates eius.
For [by this] the fortified city shall be desolate, the habitation be forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down, and consume its branches.
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 its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.
12 Et erit: In die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Aegypti, et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israel.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the River up to the brook of Egypt; but ye shall be gathered up one by one, 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 Aegypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Ierusalem.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the great cornet shall be blown, and then shall come those who are lost in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall prostrate themselves before the Lord on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
