< Isaiah 10 >

1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness:
vae qui condunt leges iniquas et scribentes iniustitiam scripserunt
2 to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of my people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
ut opprimerent in iudicio pauperes et vim facerent causae humilium populi mei ut essent viduae praeda eorum et pupillos diriperent
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
quid facietis in die visitationis et calamitatis de longe venientis ad cuius fugietis auxilium et ubi derelinquetis gloriam vestram
4 They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
ne incurvemini sub vinculo et cum interfectis cadatis super omnibus his non est aversus furor eius sed adhuc manus eius extenta
5 Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!
vae Assur virga furoris mei et baculus ipse in manu eorum indignatio mea
6 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
ad gentem fallacem mittam eum et contra populum furoris mei mandabo illi ut auferat spolia et diripiat praedam et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur et cor eius non ita aestimabit sed ad conterendum erit cor eius et ad internicionem gentium non paucarum
8 For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?
dicet enim
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
numquid non principes mei simul reges sunt numquid non ut Charchamis sic Chalanno et ut Arfad sic Emath numquid non ut Damascus sic Samaria
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
quomodo invenit manus mea regna idoli sic et simulacra eorum de Hierusalem et de Samaria
11 shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
numquid non sicut feci Samariae et idolis eius sic faciam Hierusalem et simulacris eius
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
et erit cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion et in Hierusalem visitabo super fructum magnifici cordis regis Assur et super gloriam altitudinis oculorum eius
13 For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and I have brought down as a valiant man them that sit [on thrones]:
dixit enim in fortitudine manus meae feci et in sapientia mea intellexi et abstuli terminos populorum et principes eorum depraedatus sum et detraxi quasi potens in sublime residentes
14 and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
et invenit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum et sicut colliguntur ova quae derelicta sunt sic universam terram ego congregavi et non fuit qui moveret pinnam et aperiret os et ganniret
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if a rod should shake them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum qui secat in ea aut exaltabitur serra contra eum a quo trahitur quomodo si elevetur virga contra levantem se et exaltetur baculus qui utique lignum est
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
propter hoc mittet Dominator Deus exercituum in pinguibus eius tenuitatem et subtus gloriam eius succensa ardebit quasi conbustio ignis
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
et erit lumen Israhel in igne et Sanctus eius in flamma et succendetur et devorabitur spina eius et vepres in die una
18 And he shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
et gloria saltus eius et Carmeli eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur et erit terrore profugus
19 And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
et reliquiae ligni saltus eius pro paucitate numerabuntur et puer scribet eos
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
et erit in die illa non adiciet residuum Israhel et hii qui fugerint de domo Iacob inniti super eo qui percutit eos sed innitetur super Dominum Sanctum Israhel in veritate
21 A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
reliquiae convertentur reliquiae inquam Iacob ad Deum fortem
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a consumption [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.
si enim fuerit populus tuus Israhel quasi harena maris reliquiae convertentur ex eo consummatio adbreviata inundabit iustitiam
23 For a consummation, and that determined, shall the Lord, the LORD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
consummationem enim et adbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terrae
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum noli timere populus meus habitator Sion ab Assur in virga percutiet te et baculum suum levabit super te in via Aegypti
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.
adhuc enim paululum modicumque et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod shall be over the sea, and he shall lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
et suscitabit super eum Dominus exercituum flagellum iuxta plagam Madian in petra Oreb et virgam suam super mare et levabit eam in via Aegypti
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
et erit in die illa auferetur onus eius de umero tuo et iugum eius de collo tuo et conputrescet iugum a facie olei
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage:
veniet in Aiath transibit in Magron apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua
29 they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
transierunt cursim Gabee sedes nostra obstipuit Rama Gabaath Saulis fugit
30 Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!
hinni voce tua filia Gallim adtende Laisa paupercula Anathoth
31 Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
migravit Medemena habitatores Gebim confortamini
32 This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
adhuc dies est ut in Nob stetur agitabit manum suam super montem filiae Sion collem Hierusalem
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.
ecce Dominator Dominus exercituum confringet lagunculam in terrore et excelsi statura succidentur et sublimes humiliabuntur
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro et Libanus cum excelsis cadet
