< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
In die illa visitabit Dominus in gladio suo duro, et grandi, et forti, super Leviathan, serpentem vectem, et super Leviathan, serpentem tortuosum, et occidet cetum qui in mari est.
2 In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!
In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
3 I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
Ego Dominus qui servo eam; repente propinabo ei. Ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
4 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
Indignatio non est mihi. Quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio? gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”
An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam? faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Jacob, florebit et germinabit Israël, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
Numquid juxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum? aut sicut occidit interfectos ejus, sic occisus est?
8 In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
In mensura contra mensuram, cum abjecta fuerit, judicabis eam; meditatus est in spiritu suo duro per diem æstus.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.
Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Jacob; et iste omnis fructus: ut auferatur peccatum ejus, cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides cineris allisos: non stabunt luci et delubra.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
Civitas enim munita desolata erit; speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum; ibi pascetur vitulus, et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates ejus.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
In siccitate messes illius conterentur. Mulieres venientes, et docentes eam; non est enim populus sapiens: propterea non miserebitur ejus qui fecit eum, et qui formavit eum non parcet ei.
12 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
Et erit: in die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Ægypti; et vos congregabimini unus et unus, filii Israël.
13 It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Et erit: in die illa clangetur in tuba magna; et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum, et qui ejecti erant in terra Ægypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Jerusalem.
