Isaiah 22

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Prophecy on the Valley of Vision: Now what is the matter with you for you al to be up on thehousetops,	1 Oraculum vallis Visionis. Quidnam tibi est, quia ascendisti omnis in tecta,
2 ful of excitement, boisterous town, joyful city? Your slain have not fal en to the sword nor died in battle.	2 clamoris plena, urbs tumultuans, civitas exsultans? Interfecti tui non interfecti gladio nec mortui in bello;
3 Your leaders have al fled together, captured without a bow between them, al who could be found havebeen captured at a blow, far though they had fled.	3 cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul sine arcu capti; omnes, qui inventi sunt, capti sunt simul, procul fugerunt.
4 That is why I said, 'Turn your eyes away from me, let me weep bitterly; do not try to comfort me overthe ruin of the daughter of my people.'	4 Propterea dixi: “ Recedite a me, amare flebo; nolite incumbere, ut consolemini me super vastitate filiae populi mei ”.
5 For this is a day of rout, panic and confusion, the work of the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth in the Val ey ofVision. The wal is sapped, cries for help ring out to the mountains.	5 Dies enim confusionis et conculcationis et fletus Domino, Deo exercituum, in valle Visionis, eversio murorum et vociferatio ad montem.
6 Elam has picked up his quiver, with manned chariots and horsemen, and Kir has bared his shield.	6 Et Elam sumpsit pharetram, in agmine hominum equitum, et Cir nudavit clipeum.
7 Your fairest val eys are full of chariots and the horsemen take up positions at the gates;	7 Et electae valles tuae plenae sunt quadrigarum, et equites ponunt sedes suas in porta.
8 thus falls the defence of Judah. That day you turned your gaze to the weapons in the House of theForest.	8 Et revelatum est operimentum Iudae, et respexisti in die illa armamentarium domus Saltus;
9 You saw how many breaches there were in the City of David. You col ected the waters of the lowerpool.	9 et scissuras civitatis David vidistis, quia multiplicatae sunt; et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris.
10 You surveyed the houses in Jerusalem and pul ed houses down to strengthen the wal .	10 Et domos Ierusalem numerastis et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum;
11 Between the two wal s you made a reservoir for the waters of the old pool. But you did not look to theCreator of these things, you did not look to the One who fashioned them long ago.	11 et lacum fecistis inter duos muros pro aqua piscinae veteris; sed non suspexistis ad eum, qui fecit haec, et eum, qui haec de longe formavit, non vidistis.
12 That day the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth cal ed on you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads, to put onsackcloth.	12 Et vocavit Dominus, Deus exercituum, in die illa ad fletum et ad planctum, ad calvitium et ad cingendum saccum;
13 But instead there is joy and merriment, killing of oxen, slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat, drinkingof wine, 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shal be dead.'	13 et ecce gaudium et laetitia, occidere boves et iugulare pecus, comedere carnes et bibere vinum: “ Comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur ”.
14 Then Yahweh Sabaoth revealed this to my ears, 'This guilt wil never be forgiven you, until you aredead,' says the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth.	14 Et revelatum est in auribus meis a Domino exercituum: “ Certe non dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis, donec moriamini! ”, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum.
15 The Lord Yahweh Sabaoth says this: Go and find that steward, Shebna, the master of the palace:	15 Haec dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum: “ Vade, ingredere ad procuratorem istum, ad Sobnam praepositum palatii:
16 'What do you own here, who gave you the right for you to hew yourself a tomb here?' He is hewinghimself a tomb, is digging a resting-place for himself in the rock.	16 “Quid tibi hic? Aut quis tibi hic, quia excidisti tibi hic sepulcrum?”. Effodiens in excelso sepulcrum suum, excavabat in petra tabernaculum sibi.
17 But Yahweh wil throw you away, strong as you are, wil grasp you in his grip,	17 Ecce Dominus vehementer proiciet te, homo, violenter te apprehendens.
18 will screw you up into a bal , a ball thrown into a vast space. There you will die, with your splendidchariots, disgrace to your master's palace!	18 In globum te convolvet glomerans; quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam: ibi morieris, et ibi erunt currus gloriae tuae, ignominia domus domini tui.
19 I shal hound you from your office, I shal snatch you from your post	19 Et expellam te de statione tua et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20 and, when that day comes, I shal summon my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.	20 Et erit in die illa: vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helciae
21 I shal dress him in your tunic, I shal put your sash round his waist, I shall invest him with yourauthority; and he wil be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the House of Judah.	21 et induam illum tunicam tuam et cingulo tuo cingam eum et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius; et erit in patrem habitantibus Ierusalem et domui Iudae.
22 I shal place the key of David's palace on his shoulder; when he opens, no one will close, when hecloses, no one wil open.	22 Et dabo clavem domus David super umerum eius; et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat; et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23 I shal drive him like a nail into a firm place; and he wil become a throne of glory for his family.	23 Et figam illum paxillum in loco securo, et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui.
24 'On him wil depend al the glory of his family, the descendants and offspring, al the vessels of smalcapacity too, from cups to pitchers.	24 Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris sui, propagines etstirpes, omne vas parvulum, a pelvibus ad amphoras.
25 That day, declares Yahweh Sabaoth, the nail driven into a firm place wil give way, wil be torn out andfal . And the whole load hanging on it will be lost. For Yahweh has spoken.'	25 In die illa, dicitDominus exercituum, auferetur paxillus, qui fixus fuerat in loco securo, etfrangetur et cadet; et peribit, quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est”.
