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 will Jehovah punish with his sword, His hard, and great, and strong sword, The leviathan, that fleet serpent, Even the leviathan, that winding serpent; Yea, he will slay the monster, that is in the sea.
2 in die illa vinea meri cantabit ei
In that day, sing ye thus concerning the vineyard:
3 ego Dominus qui servo eam repente propinabo ei ne forte visitetur contra eam nocte et die servo eam
“I, Jehovah, am its guardian; I will water it every moment; That no one may assault it, I will watch it day and night.
4 indignatio non est mihi quis dabit me spinam et veprem in proelio gradiar super eam succendam eam pariter
There is no fury in me; But let me find the thorns and thistles in battle. I will go against them, And burn them up together,
5 an potius tenebit fortitudinem meam faciet pacem mihi pacem faciet mihi
Unless they take hold of my protection, And with me make peace, And make peace with me.”
6 qui egrediuntur impetu ad Iacob florebit et germinabit Israhel et implebunt faciem orbis semine
In coming days shall Jacob take root, And Israel flourish and bud forth, And fill the world with fruit.
7 numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum aut sicut occidit interfectos eius sic occisus est
Did he smite Israel, as he smote those that smote him? Was he slain as those that slew him?
8 in mensura contra mensuram cum abiecta fuerit iudicabis eam meditata est in spiritu suo duro per diem aestus
In measure, by sending her away, didst thou punish her, Taking her away in the rough tempest, in 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 adlisos non stabunt luci et delubra
By this, therefore, is the iniquity of Jacob expiated, And this is wholly the fruit of the removal of his sin, That He has made the stones of the altar like limestones broken in pieces, And that the images of Astarte and the sun-pillars no more stand.
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 desolate, A habitation forsaken, deserted like a wilderness; There doth the calf feed, and there doth he lie down, And consume her 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
When her boughs are withered, they are broken off; Women come, and burn them; For it was a people of no understanding; Therefore he that made him had not mercy on him, And he that formed him showed him no favor.
12 et erit in die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo Fluminis usque ad torrentem Aegypti et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israhel
But it shall come to pass in that day, That Jehovah shall gather fruit From the stream of the Euphrates to the river of Egypt, And ye shall be gathered, 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 Hierusalem
In that day shall a great trumpet be sounded, And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria, And are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship Jehovah upon the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
