< Isaiah 3 >

1 For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;
ecce enim Dominator Deus exercituum auferet ab Hierusalem et ab Iuda validum et fortem omne robur panis et omne robur aquae
2 the mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
fortem et virum bellatorem iudicem et prophetam et ariolum et senem
3 the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the expert artificer, and the skilful enchanter.
principem super quinquaginta et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium sapientem de architectis et prudentem eloquii mystici
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
et dabo pueros principes eorum et effeminati dominabuntur eis
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
et inruet populus vir ad virum unusquisque ad proximum suum tumultuabitur puer contra senem et ignobilis contra nobilem
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand;
adprehendet enim vir fratrem suum domesticum patris sui vestimentum tibi est princeps esto noster ruina autem haec sub manu tua
7 in that day shall he lift up [his voice], saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: ye shall not make me ruler of the people.
respondebit in die illa dicens non sum medicus et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum nolite constituere me principem populi
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
ruit enim Hierusalem et Iudas concidit quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evil unto themselves.
agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis et peccatum suum quasi Sodomae praedicaverunt nec absconderunt vae animae eorum quoniam reddita sunt eis mala
10 Say ye of the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
dicite iusto quoniam bene quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet
11 Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.
vae impio in malum retributio enim manuum eius fiet ei
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt et mulieres dominatae sunt eius popule meus qui beatum te dicunt ipsi te decipiunt et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant
13 Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples.
stat ad iudicandum Dominus et stat ad iudicandos populos
14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses:
Dominus ad iudicium veniet cum senibus populi sui et principibus eius vos enim depasti estis vineam meam et rapina pauperis in domo vestra
15 what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
quare adteritis populum meum et facies pauperum commolitis dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
16 Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;
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
17 therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion et Dominus crinem earum nudabit
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;
in die illa auferet Dominus ornatum calciamentorum et lunulas
19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;
et torques et monilia et armillas et mitras
20 the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets;
discriminalia et periscelidas et murenulas et olfactoriola et inaures
21 the rings, and the nose-jewels;
et anulos et gemmas in fronte pendentes
22 the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;
et mutatoria et pallia et linteamina et acus
23 the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.
et specula et sindones et vittas et theristra
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
et erit pro suavi odore fetor et pro zona funiculus et pro crispanti crine calvitium et pro fascia pectorali cilicium
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent et fortes tui in proelio
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
et maerebunt atque lugebunt portae eius et desolata in terra sedebit
