Isaiæ 3

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ecce enim Dominator, Dominus exercituum, aufert a Ierusalem et a Iuda robur et praesidium, omne robur panis et omne robur aquae,	1 Now the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth is about to deprive Jerusalem and Judah of resources and provisions --al reserves of food, al reserves of water-
2 fortem et virum bellatorem, iudicem et prophetam et hariolum et senem,	2 of hero, warrior, judge, prophet, diviner, elder,
3 principem super quinquaginta et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium et sapientem magum et prudentem incantatorem.	3 captain, dignitary, counsellor, architect, soothsayer.
4 Et dabo pueros principes eorum; et infantes dominabuntur eis.	4 'I shal give them boys for princes, raw lads to rule over them.'
5 Et irruet populus, vir ad virum, unusquisque ad proximum suum: tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.	5 People will be il -treated by one another, each by his neighbour; the young wil insult the aged, and thelow, the respected.
6 Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum in domo patris sui: “ Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem haec sub manu tua ”.	6 Yes, a man wil catch hold of his brother in their father's house, to say, 'You have a cloak, so you beleader, and rule this heap of ruins.'
7 Clamabit in die illa dicens: “ Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum; nolite constituere me principem populi ”.	7 And, that day, the other wil protest, 'I am no healer; in my house there is neither food nor clothing; donot make me leader of the people.'
8 Ruit enim Ierusalem, et Iudas concidit, quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos maiestatis eius.	8 For Jerusalem has col apsed and Judah has fallen, because their words and deeds affront Yahweh andinsult his glorious gaze.
9 Procacitas vultus eorum accusat eos, et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma praedicaverunt nec absconderunt; vae animae eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala!	9 Their complacency bears witness against them, they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not conceal it,al the worse for them, for they have hatched their own downfal .
10 Dicite iusto: “ Bene! ”, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.	10 Say, 'Blessed the upright, for he will feed on the fruit of his deeds;
11 Vae impio in malum: retributio enim manuum eius fiet ei!	11 woe to the wicked, it wil go il with him, for he will be treated as his actions deserve.'
12 Populum meum opprimit infans, et mulieres dominantur ei. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.	12 O my people, their oppressors pil age them and extortioners rule over them! O my people, your rulersmislead you and efface the paths you ought to fol ow!
13 Surgit ad arguendum Dominus et stat ad iudicandos populos.	13 Yahweh has risen to accuse, is standing to pass judgement on the people.
14 Dominus ad iudicium veniet cum senibus populi sui et principibus eius: “ Vos enim depasti estis vineam, et rapina pauperis in domibus vestris.	14 Yahweh is about to try the elders and the princes of his people, 'You are the ones who have ravagedthe vineyard, the spoils of the poor are in your houses.
15 Quare atteritis populum meum et facies pauperum commolitis? ”, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum.	15 By what right do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?' says the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth.
16 Et dixit Dominus: “ Pro eo quod elevatae sunt filiae Sion et ambulaverunt extento collo et nutibus oculorum, parvis passibus incedebant et catenulis pedum tinniebant,	16 Yahweh says: Because Zion's daughters are proud and walk with heads held high and enticing eyes --with mincing steps they go, jingling the bangles on their feet-
17 decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion et Dominus crinem earum nudabit ”.	17 the Lord will give Zion's daughters scabby heads, Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.
18 In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentorum et torques	18 That day the Lord wil take away the ornamental chains, medallions, crescents,
19 et lunulas et inaures et armillas et mitras,	19 pendants, bracelets, trinkets,
20 discriminalia et periscelidas et fascias et olfactoriola	20 diadems, ankle-chains, necklaces, scent bottles, amulets,
21 et anulos et ornamenta narium,	21 finger-rings, nose-rings,
22 mutatoria et palliola et linteamina et marsupia,	22 party dresses, cloaks, scarves, purses,
23 specula et sindones et vittas et pallia.	23 mirrors, linen clothes, turbans and mantillas.
24 Et erit pro suavi odore foetor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispante crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium, stigma pro pulchritudine.	24 Then, instead of perfume, a stink; instead of belt, a rope, instead of hair elaborately dressed, a shavenscalp, instead of gorgeous clothes, sacking round the waist, and brand marks instead of beauty.
25 Viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in proelio,	25 Your men wil fal by the sword, your warriors in battle,
26 et maerebunt atque lugebunt portae eius, et desolata in terra sedebit.	26 and her gates wil moan and mourn; she wil sit on the ground, deserted.
