Isaiæ 7
1 et factum est in diebus Ahaz filii Ioatham filii Oziae regis Iuda ascendit Rasin rex Syriae et Phacee filius Romeliae rex Israhel in Hierusalem ad proeliandum contra eam et non potuerunt debellare eam
And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over it.
2 et nuntiaverunt domui David dicentes requievit Syria super Ephraim et commotum est cor eius et cor populi eius sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti
And they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.
3 et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam egredere in occursum Ahaz tu et qui derelictus est Iasub filius tuus ad extremum aquaeductus piscinae superioris in via agri Fullonis
And the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, thou and Jasub thy son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool, a in the way of the fuller’s held.
4 et dices ad eum vide ut sileas noli timere et cor tuum ne formidet a duobus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum in ira furoris Rasin et Syriae et filii Romeliae
And thou shalt say to him: See thou be quiet: fear not, and let not thy heart be afraid of the two tails of these fire brands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, and of the son of Romelia.
5 eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria malum Ephraim et filius Romeliae dicentes
Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:
6 ascendamus ad Iudam et suscitemus eum et avellamus eum ad nos et ponamus regem in medio eius filium Tabeel
Let us go up to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof.
7 haec dicit Dominus Deus non stabit et non erit istud
Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be.
8 sed caput Syriae Damascus et caput Damasci Rasin et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni et desinet Ephraim esse populus
But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Basin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be a people:
9 et caput Ephraim Samaria et caput Samariae filius Romeliae si non credideritis non permanebitis
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue.
10 et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Ahaz dicens
And the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying:
Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 et dixit Ahaz non petam et non temptabo Dominum
And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
13 et dixit audite ergo domus David numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus quia molesti estis et Deo meo
And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also?
14 propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum ecce virgo concipiet et pariet filium et vocabitis nomen eius Emmanuhel
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
15 butyrum et mel comedet ut sciat reprobare malum et eligere bonum
He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum et eligere bonum derelinquetur terra quam tu detestaris a facie duum regum suorum
For before the child know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, the land which thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face of her two kings.
17 adducet Dominus super te et super populum tuum et super domum patris tui dies qui non venerunt a diebus separationis Ephraim a Iuda cum rege Assyriorum
The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days that have not come since the time of the separation of Ephraim from Juda with the king of the Assyrians.
18 et erit in die illa sibilabit Dominus muscae quae est in extremo fluminum Aegypti et api quae est in terra Assur
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 et venient et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium et cavernis petrarum et in omnibus frutectis et in universis foraminibus
And they shall come, and shall all of them rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all places set with shrubs, and in all hollow places.
20 in die illa radet Dominus in novacula conducta in his qui trans Flumen sunt in rege Assyriorum caput et pilos pedum et barbam universam
In that day the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.
21 et erit in die illa nutriet homo vaccam boum et duas oves
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep.
22 et prae ubertate lactis comedet butyrum butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terrae
And for the abundance of milk he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that shall be left in the midst of the land.
23 et erit in die illa omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites mille argenteis et in spinas et in vepres erunt
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, at a thousand pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers.
24 cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc vepres enim et spinae erunt in universa terra
With arrows and with bows they shall go in thither: for briars and thorns shall be in all the land.
25 et omnes montes qui in sarculo sarientur non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium et erit in pascua bovis et in conculcationem pecoris
And as for all the hills that shall be raked with a rake, the fear of thorns and briers shall not come thither, but they shall be for the ox to feed on, and the lesser cattle to tread upon.
