Isaiah 21

KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.1 Oraculum deserti maris.
Sicut turbines per austrum transeuntes,
de deserto venit, de terra horribili.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.2 Visio dura nuntiata est mihi:
praedo praedatur,
et vastator vastat.
Ascende, Elam;
obside, Media;
omnem gemitum eius cessare feci.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.3 Propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei tremore,
angustia possedit me sicut angustia parientis;
corrui, cum audirem;
conturbatus sum, cum viderem.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.4 Vacillat cor meum,
pavor invadit me:
crepusculum optatum
posuit mihi in terrorem.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.5 Ponunt mensam,
stragulum pandunt, comedunt, bibunt.
Surgite, principes,
ungite clipeum.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.6 Haec enim dixit mihi Dominus:
“ Vade et pone speculatorem;
quodcumque viderit, annuntiet.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:7 Si viderit currum, bigam equitum,
ascensorem asini et ascensorem cameli,
intueatur diligenter multo intuitu ”.
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:8 Et clamavit speculator:
“ Super specula, Domine,
ego sum stans iugiter per diem,
et super custodiam meam
ego sum stans totis noctibus.
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.9 Ecce, huc venit agmen virorum,
biga equitum ”.
Et respondit et dixit:
“ Cecidit, cecidit Babylon,
et omnia sculptilia deorum eius
contrita sunt in terram ”.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.10 Tritura mea et fili areae meae,
quae audivi a Domino exercituum, Deo Israel,
annuntiavi vobis.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?11 Oraculum Duma.
Ad me clamat ex Seir:
“ Custos, quid de nocte?
Custos, quid de nocte? ”.
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.12 Dixit custos:
“ Venit mane, sed etiam nox;
si quaeritis, quaerite,
revertimini, venite ”.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.13 Oraculum in solitudine.
In saltu, in solitudine dormietis,
turmae Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.14 Occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam,
qui habitatis terram Thema;
cum panibus occurrite fugienti:
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.15 a facie enim gladiorum fugerunt,
a facie gladii nudati,
a facie arcus extenti,
a facie gravis proelii.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:16 Quoniam haec dicit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc anno sicut anni mercennarii, etauferetur omnis gloria Cedar;
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.17 et reliquiae numeri arcuum fortium filiorumCedar imminuentur; Dominus enim, Deus Israel, locutus est ”.
