Isaiæ 34
1 Accedite Gentes, et audite, et populi attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo eius, orbis, et omne germen eius.
Come neere, ye nations and heare, and hearken, ye people: let the earth heare and all that is therein, the world and al that proceedeth thereof.
2 Quia indignatio Domini super omnes Gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.
For the indignation of the Lord is vpon all nations, and his wrath vpon all their armies: hee hath destroyed them and deliuered them to the slaughter.
3 Interfecti eorum proiicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet foetor: tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.
And their slaine shalbe cast out, and their stincke shall come vp out of their bodies, and the mountaines shalbe melted with their blood.
4 Et tabescet omnis militia caelorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber caeli: et omnis militia eorum defluet sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.
And all the hoste of heauen shalbe dissolued, and the heauens shall be folden like a booke: and all their hostes shall fall as the leafe falleth from the vine, and as it falleth from the figtree.
5 Quoniam inebriatus est in caelo gladius meus: ecce super Idumaeam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meae ad iudicium.
For my sword shalbe drunken in the heauen: beholde, it shall come downe vpon Edom, euen vpon the people of my curse to iudgement.
6 Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum, et hircorum, de sanguine medullatorum arietum: victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in Terra Edom.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood: it is made fat with the fat and with the blood of the lambes and the goates, with the fat of the kidneis of the rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus: inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium:
And the vnicorne shall come downe with them and the heiffers with the bulles, and their lande shalbe drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatnesse.
8 quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum iudicii Sion.
For it is the day of the Lordes vengeance, and the yeere of recompence for the iudgement of Zion.
9 Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur: et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.
And the riuers thereof shall be turned into pitche, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shalbe burning pitch.
10 Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius: a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in saecula saeculorum non erit transiens per eam.
It shall not be quenched night nor day: the smoke thereof shall goe vp euermore: it shall be desolate from generation to generation: none shall passe through it for euer.
11 Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus, et ericius: ibix, et corvus habitabunt in ea: et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.
But the pelicane and the hedgehog shall possesse it, and the great owle, and the rauen shall dwel in it, and he shall stretch out vpon it the line of vanitie, and the stones of emptinesse.
12 Nobiles eius non erunt ibi: regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.
The nobles thereof shall call to the kingdome, and there shalbe none, and all the princes thereof shalbe as nothing.
13 Et orientur in domibus eius spinae, et urticae, et paliurus in munitionibus eius: et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
And it shall bring foorth thornes in the palaces thereof, nettles and thistles in the strong holdes thereof, and it shall be an habitation for dragons, and a court for ostriches.
14 Et occurrent daemonia onocentaurus, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum: ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.
There shall meete also Ziim and Iim, and the Satyre shall cry to his fellow, and the shricheowle shall rest there, and shall finde for her selfe a quiet dwelling.
15 Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra eius: illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.
There shall the owle make her nest, and laye, and hatche, and gather them vnder her shadowe: there shall the vultures also bee gathered, euery one with her make.
16 Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite: unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quaesivit: quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.
Seeke in the booke of the Lord, and reade: none of these shall fayle, none shall want her make: for his mouth hath commanded, and his very Spirit hath gathered them.
17 Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit eam illis in mensuram: usque in aeternum possidebunt eam, in generatione et generationem habitabunt in ea.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath deuided it vnto them by line: they shall possesse it for euer: from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.
