Isaiah 18

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Woe to the land, that winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,	1 Vae terrae alarum strepitantium, quae est trans flumina Aethiopiae!
2 which sends ambassadors by sea and in vessels of papyrus above the waters. Go forth, O swift Angels, to a nation which has been convulsed and torn apart, to a terrible people, after whom there is no other, to a nation apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have spoiled.	2 Quae mittit in mari legatos et in vasis papyri super aquas: “ Ite, nuntii veloces, ad gentem proceram et lucidam, ad populum terribilem, prope et procul, gentem robustam et conculcantem, cuius flumina scindunt terram ”.
3 All inhabitants of the world, you who dwell upon the earth: when the sign will have been elevated on the mountains, you will see, and you will hear the blast of the trumpet.	3 Omnes habitatores orbis et in terra commorantes, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis et, cum clanguerit tuba, audietis.
4 For the Lord says this to me: I will be quiet, and I will consider in my place, as the light at midday is clear, and as a cloud of dew in the day of the harvest.	4 Quia haec dixit Dominus ad me: “ Quiescam et considerabo in loco meo, sicut calor torrens orta iam luce et sicut nubes roris in aestu messis ”.
5 For before the harvest, all was flourishing. And it will spring forth with an untimely completion, and its little branches will be pruned with a curved blade. And what is left over will be cut away and shaken off.	5 Etenim ante vindemiam, cum consummatus fuerit flos, et uva germinans maturescens erit, praecidet ramusculos falcibus et propagines abscindet et proiciet;
6 And together they will be abandoned to the birds of the mountains and to the wild beasts of the earth. And the birds will be continuously on them in the summer, and all the wild beasts of the earth will winter over them.	6 et relinquentur simul avibus montium et bestiis terrae; et aestate erunt super ea volucres, et omnes bestiae terrae super illa hiemabunt.
7 In that time, a gift will be carried to the Lord of hosts, from a people divided and torn apart, from a terrible people, after whom there has been no other, from an apprehensive nation, apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have ruined, and it will be carried to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, to mount Zion.	7 In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo procero et lucido,a populo terribili, prope et procul, a gente robusta et conculcante, cuiusterram flumina scindunt, ad locum nominis Domini exercituum, montem Sion.
