Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
onus Babylonis quod vidit Isaias filius Amos
2 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
super montem caligosum levate signum exaltate vocem levate manum et ingrediantur portas duces
3 I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea exultantes in gloria mea
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle.
vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populorum frequentium vox sonitus regum gentium congregatarum Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli
5 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
venientibus de terra procul a summitate caeli Dominus et vasa furoris eius ut disperdat omnem terram
6 Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
ululate quia prope est dies Domini quasi vastitas a Domino veniet
7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:
propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet
8 and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame.
et conteretur tortiones et dolores tenebunt quasi parturiens dolebunt unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit facies conbustae vultus eorum
9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
ecce dies Domini venit crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudine et peccatores eius conterendos de ea
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.
quoniam stellae caeli et splendor earum non expandent lumen suum obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo et luna non splendebit in lumine suo
11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
et visitabo super orbis mala et contra impios iniquitatem eorum et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo
12 I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
pretiosior erit vir auro et homo mundo obrizo
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
super hoc caelum turbabo et movebitur terra de loco suo propter indignationem Domini exercituum et propter diem irae furoris eius
14 And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
et erit quasi dammula fugiens et quasi ovis et non erit qui congreget unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur et singuli ad terram suam fugient
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.
omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio
16 Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished.
infantes eorum adlident in oculis eorum diripientur domus eorum et uxores eorum violabuntur
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint
18 And [their] bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
sed sagittis parvulos interficiant et lactantibus uteri non misereantur et super filios non parcat oculus eorum
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis inclita in superbia Chaldeorum sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.
non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs nec pastores requiescent ibi
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
sed requiescent ibi bestiae et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus et habitabunt ibi strutiones et pilosi saltabunt ibi
22 And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius et sirenae in delubris voluptatis
