Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Onus Babylonis, quod vidit Isaias filius Amos.
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
Super montem caliginosum levate signum, exaltate vocem, levate manum, et ingrediantur portas duces.
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis, et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea, exultantes in gloria mea.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Vox multitudinis in montibus, quasi populorum frequentium: vox sonitus regum, et gentium congregatarum: Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli,
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
venientibus de terra procul, a summitate caeli: Dominus, et vasa furoris eius, ut disperdat omnem terram.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini: quasi vastitas a Domino veniet.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
Propter hoc, omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis contabescet,
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
et conteretur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt, quasi parturiens, dolebunt: unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit, facies combustae vultus eorum.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Ecce dies Domini veniet, crudelis, et indignationis plenus, et irae, furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudinem, et peccatores eius conterendos de ea.
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her 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 visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
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 precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obrizo.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, 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 be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
Et erit quasi damula fugiens, et quasi ovis: et non erit qui congreget: unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Omnis, qui inventus fuerit, occidetur: et omnis, qui supervenerit, cadet in gladio.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
Infantes eorum allidentur in oculis eorum: diripientur domus eorum, et uxores eorum violabuntur.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos, qui argentum non quaerant, nec aurum velint:
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
sed sagittis parvulos interficient, et lactantibus uteris non miserebuntur, et super filios non parcet oculus eorum.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
Et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis, inclyta superbia Chaldaeorum: sicut subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes 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 Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Sed requiescent ibi bestiae, et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus: et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi:
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius, et sirenes in delubris voluptatis.
