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 Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
2 in die illa vinea meri cantabit ei
In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
3 ego Dominus qui servo eam repente propinabo ei ne forte visitetur contra eam nocte et die servo eam
I—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
4 indignatio non est mihi quis dabit me spinam et veprem in proelio gradiar super eam succendam eam pariter
Fury, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
5 an potius tenebit fortitudinem meam faciet pacem mihi pacem faciet mihi
Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make with me.
6 qui egrediuntur impetu ad Iacob florebit et germinabit Israhel et implebunt faciem orbis semine
In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum aut sicut occidit interfectos eius sic occisus est
Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
8 in mensura contra mensuram cum abiecta fuerit iudicabis eam meditata est in spiritu suo duro per diem aestus
By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of 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 hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
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 solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall consume the branches thereof:
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 the cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
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 shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, 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 shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
