Isaiæ 13
1 onus Babylonis quod vidit Isaias filius Amos
THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
2 super montem caligosum levate signum exaltate vocem levate manum et ingrediantur portas duces
Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
3 ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea exultantes in gloria mea
I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
4 vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populorum frequentium vox sonitus regum gentium congregatarum Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli
A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
5 venientibus de terra procul a summitate caeli Dominus et vasa furoris eius ut disperdat omnem terram
to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
6 ululate quia prope est dies Domini quasi vastitas a Domino veniet
Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
7 propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet
Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
8 et conteretur tortiones et dolores tenebunt quasi parturiens dolebunt unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit facies conbustae vultus eorum
The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
9 ecce dies Domini venit crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudine et peccatores eius conterendos de ea
For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
10 quoniam stellae caeli et splendor earum non expandent lumen suum obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo et luna non splendebit in lumine suo
For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
11 et visitabo super orbis mala et contra impios iniquitatem eorum et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo
And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
12 pretiosior erit vir auro et homo mundo obrizo
And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
13 super hoc caelum turbabo et movebitur terra de loco suo propter indignationem Domini exercituum et propter diem irae furoris eius
For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
14 et erit quasi dammula fugiens et quasi ovis et non erit qui congreget unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur et singuli ad terram suam fugient
And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
15 omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio
For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
16 infantes eorum adlident in oculis eorum diripientur domus eorum et uxores eorum violabuntur
And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
17 ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint
Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
18 sed sagittis parvulos interficiant et lactantibus uteri non misereantur et super filios non parcat oculus eorum
They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
19 et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis inclita in superbia Chaldeorum sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram
And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
20 non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs nec pastores requiescent ibi
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
21 sed requiescent ibi bestiae et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus et habitabunt ibi strutiones et pilosi saltabunt ibi
But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
22 et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius et sirenae in delubris voluptatis
