Isaiæ 27
1 in die illo 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 proelio 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 egrediuntur impetu ad Iacob florebit et germinabit Israhel 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 adlisos 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 messis 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 Israhel
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 Hierusalem
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!
