Isaiah 8
1 And Jehovah said unto me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
et dixit Dominus ad me sume tibi librum grandem et scribe in eo stilo hominis Velociter spolia detrahe Cito praedare
2 and I will take unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
et adhibui mihi testes fideles Uriam sacerdotem et Zacchariam filium Barachiae
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Jehovah unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
et accessi ad prophetissam et concepit et peperit filium et dixit Dominus ad me voca nomen eius Adcelera spolia detrahere Festina praedari
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
quia antequam sciat puer vocare patrem suum et matrem suam auferetur fortitudo Damasci et spolia Samariae coram rege Assyriorum
5 And Jehovah spake unto me yet again, saying,
et adiecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc dicens
6 Forasmuch as this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloae quae vadunt cum silentio et adsumpsit magis Rasin et filium Romeliae
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;
propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos aquas Fluminis fortes et multas regem Assyriorum et omnem gloriam eius et ascendet super omnes rivos eius et fluet super universas ripas eius
8 and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
et ibit per Iudam inundans et transiens usque ad collum veniet et erit extensio alarum eius implens latitudinem terrae tuae o Emmanuhel
9 Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces.
congregamini populi et vincimini et audite universae procul terrae confortamini et vincimini accingite vos et vincimini
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
inite consilium et dissipabitur loquimini verbum et non fiet quia nobiscum Deus
11 For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
haec enim ait Dominus ad me sicut in forti manu erudivit me ne irem in via populi huius dicens
12 Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread [thereof].
non dicatis coniuratio omnia enim quae loquitur populus iste coniuratio est et timorem eius ne timeatis neque paveatis
13 Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate ipse pavor vester et ipse terror vester
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
et erit vobis in sanctificationem in lapidem autem offensionis et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israhel in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Hierusalem
15 And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
et offendent ex eis plurimi et cadent et conterentur et inretientur et capientur
16 Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
liga testimonium signa legem in discipulis meis
17 And I will wait for Jehovah, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
et expectabo Dominum qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob et praestolabor eum
18 Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
ecce ego et pueri quos mihi dedit Dominus in signum et in portentum Israhelis a Domino exercituum qui habitat in monte Sion
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living [should they seek] unto the dead?
et cum dixerint ad vos quaerite a pythonibus et a divinis qui stridunt in incantationibus suis numquid non populus a Deo suo requirit pro vivis a mortuis
20 To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
ad legem magis et ad testimonium quod si non dixerint iuxta verbum hoc non erit eis matutina lux
21 And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:
et transibit per eam corruet et esuriet et cum esurierit irascetur et maledicet regi suo et Deo suo et suspiciet sursum
22 and they shall look unto the earth, and, behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness [they shall be] driven away.
et ad terram intuebitur et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae dissolutio angustia et caligo persequens et non poterit avolare de angustia sua
