Isaiæ 29
1 vae Arihel Arihel civitas quam circumdedit David additus est annus ad annum sollemnitates evolutae sunt
Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year. Let the feasts come round.
2 et circumvallabo Arihel et erit tristis et maerens et erit mihi quasi Arihel
Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and she shall be to me as Ariel.
3 et circumdabo quasi spheram in circuitu tuo et iaciam contra te aggerem et munimenta ponam in obsidionem tuam
And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops. And I will raise siege works against thee.
4 humiliaberis de terra loqueris et de humo audietur eloquium tuum et erit quasi pythonis de terra vox tua et de humo eloquium tuum mussitabit
And thou shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of he who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo ventilantium te et sicut favilla pertransiens multitudo eorum qui contra te praevaluerunt
But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passes away. Yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.
6 eritque repente confestim a Domino exercituum visitabitur in tonitru et commotione terrae et voce magna turbinis et tempestatis et flammae ignis devorantis
She shall be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 et erit sicut somnium visionis nocturnae multitudo omnium gentium quae dimicaverunt contra Arihel et omnes qui militaverunt et obsederunt et praevaluerunt adversus eam
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
8 et sicuti somniat esuriens et comedit cum autem fuerit expertus vacua est anima eius et sicut somniat sitiens et bibit et postquam fuerit expergefactus lassus adhuc sitit et anima eius vacua est sic erit multitudo omnium gentium quae dimicaverunt contra montem Sion
And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats. But he awakes, and his soul is empty. Or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks. But he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite. So shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion.
9 obstupescite et admiramini fluctuate et vacillate inebriamini et non a vino movemini et non ebrietate
Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 quoniam miscuit vobis Dominus spiritum soporis claudet oculos vestros prophetas et principes vestros qui vident visiones operiet
For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered.
11 et erit vobis visio omnium sicut verba libri signati quem cum dederint scienti litteras dicent lege istum et respondebit non possum signatus est enim
And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 et dabitur liber nescienti litteras diceturque ei lege et respondebit nescio litteras
And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.
13 et dixit Dominus eo quod adpropinquat populus iste ore suo et labiis suis glorificat me cor autem eius longe est a me et timuerunt me mandato hominum et doctrinis
And the Lord said, Inasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, but in vain they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
14 ideo ecce ego addam ut admirationem faciam populo huic miraculo grandi et stupendo peribit enim sapientia a sapientibus eius et intellectus prudentium eius abscondetur
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.
15 vae qui profundi estis corde ut a Domino abscondatis consilium quorum sunt in tenebris opera et dicunt quis videt nos et quis novit nos
Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and, Who knows us?
16 perversa est haec vestra cogitatio quasi lutum contra figulum cogitet et dicat opus factori suo non fecisti me et figmentum dicat fictori suo non intellegis
Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay, that the thing made should say of him who made it, He did not make me, or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
17 nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus in Chermel et Chermel in saltum reputabitur
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 et audient in die illa surdi verba libri et de tenebris et caligine oculi caecorum videbunt
And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 et addent mites in Domino laetitiam et pauperes homines in Sancto Israhel exultabunt
The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 quoniam defecit qui praevalebat consummatus est inlusor et succisi sunt omnes qui vigilabant super iniquitatem
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases. And all those who watch for iniquity are cut off,
21 qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo et arguentem in porta subplantabant et declinaverunt frustra a iusto
who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
22 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus ad domum Iacob qui redemit Abraham non modo confundetur Iacob nec modo vultus eius erubescet
Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.
23 sed cum viderit filios suos opera manuum mearum in medio sui sanctificantes nomen meum et sanctificabunt Sanctum Iacob et Deum Israhel praedicabunt
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name. Yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 et scient errantes spiritu intellectum et mussitatores discent legem
They also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmur shall receive instruction.
