Isaiæ 27
1 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.
In that day the LORD with his keen and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he will slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.
In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 Ego Dominus, qui servo eam, repente propinabo ei: ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.
I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Indignatio non est mihi: quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio: gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter?
Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam, faciet pacem mihi, pacem faciet mihi?
Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me, [and] he shall make peace with me.
6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis semine.
He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum? aut sicut occidit interfectos eius, sic occisus est?
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In mensura contra mensuram, cum abiecta fuerit, iudicabis eam: meditatus est in spiritu suo duro per diem æstus.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Iacob: et iste omnis fructus ut auferatur peccatum eius, cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides cineris allisos, non stabunt luci et delubra.
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Civitas enim munita desolata erit, speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum: ibi pascetur vitulus, et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates eius.
Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.
11 In siccitate messes illius conterentur, mulieres venientes, et docentes eam: non est enim populus sapiens, propterea non miserebitur eius, qui fecit eum: et qui formavit eum, non parcet ei.
When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 Et erit: In die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Ægypti, et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 Et erit: In die illa clangetur in tuba magna, et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum, et qui eiecti erant in Terra Ægypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Ierusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
