Isaiah 33

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Woe, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; when wearied with betraying, you will be betrayed.	1 Vae, qui praedaris, cum nemo te praedatus sit; qui devastas, cum nemo te devastaverit! Cum consummaveris depraedationem, depraedaberis; cum perfeceris devastationem, te devastabunt.
2 O LORD, have pity on us, for you we wait. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble!	2 Domine, miserere nostri, te enim exspectavimus; esto brachium nostrum in mane et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
3 At the roaring sound, peoples flee; when you rise in your majesty, nations are scattered.	3 A voce fragoris fugerunt populi, ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.
4 Men gather spoil as caterpillars are gathered up; they rush upon it like the onrush of locusts.	4 Et congregabuntur spolia, sicut colligitur bruchus; sicut discurrunt locustae, ad ea discurritur.
5 The LORD is exalted, enthroned on high; he fills Zion with right and justice.	5 Sublimis est Dominus, quoniam habitat in excelso; implet Sion iudicio et iustitia.
6 That which makes her seasons lasting, the riches that save her, are wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is her treasure.	6 Et erit firmitas in temporibus tuis; divitiae salutis sapientia et scientia: timor Domini ipse est thesaurus eius.
7 See, the men of Ariel cry out in the streets, the messengers of Shalem weep bitterly.	7 Ecce praecones clamabunt foris, angeli pacis amare flebunt.
8 The highways are desolate, travelers have quit the paths, Covenants are broken, their terms are spurned; yet no man gives it a thought.	8 Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam; irritum fecit pactum, reiecit testes, non reputavit homines.
9 The country languishes in mourning, Lebanon withers with shame; Sharon is like the steppe, Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.	9 Luget et elanguescit terra, confusus est Libanus et obsorduit, et factus est Saron sicut desertum, et exaruerunt Basan et Carmelus.
10 Now will I rise up, says the LORD, now will I be exalted, now be lifted up.	10 “ Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus, nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
11 You conceive dry grass, bring forth stubble; my spirit shall consume you like fire.	11 Concipietis fenum, parietis stipulam; spiritus meus ut ignis vorabit vos.
12 The peoples shall be as in a limekiln, like brushwood cut down for burning in the fire.	12 Et erunt populi fornaces calcis: spinae congregatae igne comburentur.
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge my might.	13 Audite, qui longe estis, quae fecerim, et cognoscite, vicini, fortitudinem meam ”.
14 On Zion sinners are in dread, trembling grips the impious: "Who of us can live with the consuming fire? who of us can live with the everlasting flames?"	14 Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores, possedit tremor impios. Quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante? Quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis?
15 He who practices virtue and speaks honestly, who spurns what is gained by oppression, Brushing his hands free of contact with a bribe, stopping his ears lest he hear of bloodshed, closing his eyes lest he look on evil--	15 Qui ambulat in iustitiis et loquitur aequitates, qui reicit lucra ex rapinis et excutit manus suas, ne munera accipiat, qui obturat aures suas, ne audiat sanguinem, et claudit oculos suos, ne videat malum:
16 He shall dwell on the heights, his stronghold shall be the rocky fastness, his food and drink in steady supply.	16 iste in excelsis habitabit, munimenta saxorum refugium eius; panis ei datus est, aquae eius fideles sunt.
17 Your eyes will see a king in his splendor, they will look upon a vast land.	17 Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi tui, cernent terram longinquam.
18 Your mind will dwell on the terror: "Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?"	18 Cor tuum cum timore inquiret: “ Ubi est scriba? Ubi ponderator? Ubi computator turrium? ”.
19 To the people of alien tongue you will look no more, the people of obscure speech, stammering in a language not understood.	19 Populum impudentem non videbis, populum profundi sermonis, ininterpretabilis, linguae barbarae absque intellegentia.
20 Look to Zion, the city of our festivals; let your eyes see Jerusalem as a quiet abode, a tent not to be struck, Whose pegs will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes severed.	20 Respice Sion civitatem sollemnitatum nostrarum! Oculi tui videbunt Ierusalem, habitationem securam, tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit; nec auferentur clavi eius in sempiternum, et omnes funiculi eius non rumpentur.
21 In a place of rivers and wide streams on which no boat is rowed, where no majestic ship passes,	21 Quia ibi potens Dominus pro nobis loco fluviorum, rivorum late patentium; non transibit ibi navis remigum, neque navis magna transgredietur eum.
22 Indeed the LORD will be there with us, majestic; yes, the LORD our judge, the LORD our lawgiver, the LORD our king, he it is who will save us.	22 Dominus enim iudex noster, Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster: ipse salvabit nos.
23 The rigging hangs slack; it cannot hold the mast in place, nor keep the sail spread out. Then the blind will divide great spoils and the lame will carry off the loot.	23 Laxati sunt funiculi tui nec sustinent malum suum, ut dilatare velum non queant. Tunc divident caeci praedam multam; claudi diripient rapinam.
24 No one who dwells there will say, "I am sick"; the people who live there will be forgiven their guilt.	24 Nec dicet incola: “ Elangui ”. Populus, qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
