Isaiæ 27

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 In die illa visitabit Dominus in gladio suo duro et forti et grandi super Leviathan serpentem fugacem et super Leviathan serpentem tortuosum et occidet draconem, qui in mari est.	1 That day Yahweh wil punish, with his unyielding sword, massive and strong, Leviathan the fleeingserpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he wil kil that dragon that lives in the sea.
2 In die illa vinea erit iucunda; cantate ei.	2 That day, sing of the splendid vineyard!
3 Ego Dominus, qui servo eam; per singula momenta irrigabo eam. Ne forte visitetur contra eam, nocte et die servo eam.	3 I, Yahweh, am its guardian, from time to time I water it; so that no harm befal it, I guard it night andday.
4 Indignatio non est mihi. Quis dabit mihi spinam et veprem? In proelio gradiar super eam, succendam eam pariter,	4 -I do not have a wall. Who can reduce me to brambles and thorn-bushes? -I shal make war andtrample on it and at the same time burn it.
5 nisi forte protectionem meam apprehendat, faciat pacem mecum, pacem faciat mecum.	5 Or should they beg for my protection, let them make their peace with me, peace let them make withme.
6 Diebus futuris radices mittet Iacob, florebit et germinabit Israel, et implebunt faciem orbis fructibus.	6 In days to come, Jacob will take root, Israel wil bud and blossom and the surface of the world be onevast harvest.
7 Numquid iuxta plagam percutientis eum percussit eum? Aut, sicut occiduntur occisi eius, occisus est?	7 Has he struck him as he was struck by those who struck him? Has he murdered him as he wasmurdered by those who murdered him?
8 In mensura punit eum deiciens eum, impellit in spiritu suo duro, tempore quo spirat eurus.	8 By expel ing, by excluding him, you have executed a sentence, he has blown him away with a breathas rough as the east wind.
9 Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas Iacob, et hic erit omnis fructus ablationis peccati eius: ut scilicet ponat omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides calcis comminutos, ne exstent luci et thymiateria.	9 For that is how Jacob's guilt wil be forgiven, such wil be the result of renouncing his sin, when al thealtar-stones have been smashed to pieces like lumps of chalk, when the sacred poles and incense-altars standno longer.
10 Civitas enim munita desolata est, habitaculum derelictum et dimissum quasi desertum; ibi pascetur vitulus et ibi accubabit et consumet arbusta eius.	10 For the fortified city is abandoned now, deserted, forsaken as a desert where calves browse, wherethey lie down, destroying its branches.
11 In siccitate frondes illius conterentur; mulieres venient et comburent eas. Ipse enim non est populus sapiens, propterea non miserebitur eius, qui fecit eum, et, qui formavit eum, non parcet ei.	11 When boughs go dry, they get burnt, women come and use them for firewood. Now, this is a peoplethat does not understand, and so its Maker wil not take pity on it, he who formed it wil not show it any mercy.
12 Et erit: in die illa percutiet spicas Dominus a Flumine usque ad torrentem Aegypti; et vos congregabimini unus et unus, filii Israel.	12 When that day comes, Yahweh wil start his threshing from the course of the River to the Torrent ofEgypt, and you will be gathered one by one, Israelites!
13 Et erit: in die illa clangetur in tuba magna; et venient, qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum, et qui eiecti erant in terra Aegypti, et adorabunt Dominum in monte sancto in Ierusalem.	13 When that day comes, the great ram's-horn will be sounded, and those lost in Assyria will come, andthose banished to Egypt, and they wil worship Yahweh on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
