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 YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
3 Ego Dominus, qui servo eam, repente propinabo ei: ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
4 Indignatio non est mihi: quis dabit me spinam et veprem in praelio: gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter?
Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam, faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi?
Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
7 Numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum? aut sicut occidit interfectos eius, sic occisus est?
Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
8 In mensura contra mensuram, cum abiecta fuerit, iudicabis eam: meditata est in spiritu suo duro per diem aestus.
In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an 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 the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
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] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed 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.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
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 has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons 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 has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
