Isaiæ 3
1 ecce enim Dominator Deus exercituum auferet ab Hierusalem et ab Iuda validum et fortem omne robur panis et omne robur aquae
For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
2 fortem et virum bellatorem iudicem et prophetam et ariolum et senem
The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.
3 principem super quinquaginta et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium sapientem de architectis et prudentem eloquii mystici
The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.
4 et dabo pueros principes eorum et effeminati dominabuntur eis
And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.
5 et inruet populus vir ad virum unusquisque ad proximum suum tumultuabitur puer contra senem et ignobilis contra nobilem
And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 adprehendet enim vir fratrem suum domesticum patris sui vestimentum tibi est princeps esto noster ruina autem haec sub manu tua
For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
7 respondebit in die illa dicens non sum medicus et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum nolite constituere me principem populi
In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
8 ruit enim Hierusalem et Iudas concidit quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
9 agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis et peccatum suum quasi Sodomae praedicaverunt nec absconderunt vae animae eorum quoniam reddita sunt eis mala
The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.
10 dicite iusto quoniam bene quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet
Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
11 vae impio in malum retributio enim manuum eius fiet ei
Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt et mulieres dominatae sunt eius popule meus qui beatum te dicunt ipsi te decipiunt et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant
As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
13 stat ad iudicandum Dominus et stat ad iudicandos populos
The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.
14 Dominus ad iudicium veniet cum senibus populi sui et principibus eius vos enim depasti estis vineam meam et rapina pauperis in domo vestra
The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.
15 quare adteritis populum meum et facies pauperum commolitis dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
16 et dixit Dominus pro eo quod elevatae sunt filiae Sion et ambulaverunt extento collo et nutibus oculorum ibant et plaudebant ambulabant et in pedibus suis conposito gradu incedebant
And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:
17 decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion et Dominus crinem earum nudabit
The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.
18 in die illa auferet Dominus ornatum calciamentorum et lunulas
In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,
19 et torques et monilia et armillas et mitras
And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,
20 discriminalia et periscelidas et murenulas et olfactoriola et inaures
And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,
21 et anulos et gemmas in fronte pendentes
And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,
22 et mutatoria et pallia et linteamina et acus
And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
23 et specula et sindones et vittas et theristra
And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.
24 et erit pro suavi odore fetor et pro zona funiculus et pro crispanti crine calvitium et pro fascia pectorali cilicium
And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.
25 pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent et fortes tui in proelio
Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.
26 et maerebunt atque lugebunt portae eius et desolata in terra sedebit
And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
