Isaiah 32


font
NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 There wil be a king who reigns uprightly and princes who rule with fair judgement;1 Ecce in iustitia regnabit rex,
et principes in iudicio praee runt.
2 each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams on arid ground, like theshade of a solid rock in a desolate land.2 Et erit vir sicut latibulum a vento
et refugium a tempestate,
sicut rivi aquarum in sitiente terra
et umbra petrae magnae in terra arida.
3 The eyes of seers wil no longer be closed, the ears of hearers wil be alert,3 Non caligabunt oculi videntium,
et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt,
4 the heart of the hasty wil learn to think things over, and the tongue of stammerers wil speak promptlyand clearly.4 et cor stultorum intelleget scientiam,
et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.
5 The fool wil no longer be cal ed generous, nor the rascal be styled bountiful.5 Non vocabitur ultra is, qui insipiens est, nobilis,
neque fraudulentus appellabitur maior;
6 For the fool speaks fol y and his heart is set on vil ainy; he is godless in his actions and his wordsascribe error to Yahweh; he starves the hungry of their food and refuses drink to the thirsty.6 stultus enim fatua loquitur,
et cor eius cogitat iniquitatem,
ut perficiat impietatem
et loquatur contra Dominum errores
et vacuam faciat animam esurientem
et potum sitienti auferat.
7 Everything to do with the rascal is evil, he devises infamous plans to ruin the poor with lying wordseven when the needy has right on his side;7 Fraudulenti fraudes pessimae sunt;
ipse enim cogitationes concinnat
ad perdendos mites in sermone mendaci,
etiam quando pauper iudicium vindicat.
8 but the noble person plans only noble things, noble his every move.8 Nobilis vero consilia nobilia dat
et ipse ad nobilia assurget.
9 Stand up, you haughty women, listen to my words; you over-confident daughters, pay attention to whatI say.9 Mulieres vanae, surgite, audite vocem meam;
filiae confidentes, percipite auribus eloquium meum.
10 Within one year and a few days you wil tremble, you over-confident women; grape-harvesting will befinished, gathering will never happen again.10 Post dies enim et annum
vos pavebitis confidentes;
consummata est enim vindemia,
collectio ultra non veniet.
11 Shudder, you haughty women, tremble, you over-confident women; strip, undress, put sackclothround your waists.11 Obstupescite, vanae;
pavete, confidentes,
exuite vos et nudate vos,
accingite lumbos vestros.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,12 Super ubera plangite,
super regione desiderabili,
super vinea fertili.
13 for my people's soil where the bramble-bush wil be growing and for al the happy houses, for therejoicing city.13 Super humum populi mei
spinae et vepres ascendent,
super omnes domos gaudii,
super civitatem exsultantem.
14 For the citadel wil be abandoned and the thronged city deserted, Ophel and the Keep wil be denudedfor ever, the playground of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,14 Domus enim dimissa est;
multitudo urbis relicta est,
Ophel et Bahan erunt speluncae
usque in aeternum,
gaudium onagrorum,
pascua gregum,
15 until the spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes an orchard, and an orchardthat seems like a forest.15 donec effundatur super nos
spiritus de excelso.
Et erit desertum in hortum,
et hortus in saltum reputabitur,
16 Fair judgement wil fix its home in the desert, and uprightness live in this orchard,16 et habitabit in solitudine iudicium,
et iustitia in horto sedebit;
17 and the product of uprightness will be peace, the effect of uprightness being quiet and security forever.17 et erit opus iustitiae pax,
et cultus iustitiae silentium,
et securitas usque in sempiternum.
18 My people will live in a peaceful home, in peaceful houses, tranquil dwel ings.18 Et sedebit populus meus in habitatione pacis
et in tabernaculis fiduciae
et in locis securis.
19 And should the forest be total y destroyed and the city gravely humiliated,19 Et penitus cadet saltus,
et profunde deprimetur civitas.
20 You wil be happy to sow wherever there is water and to let the ox and donkey roam free.20 Beati, qui seminatis super omnes aquas,
immittentes pedem bovis et asini.
