Isaiæ 18


font
VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Væ terræ cymbalo alarum,
quæ est trans flumina Æthiopiæ,
1 Disaster! Land of the whirring locust beyond the rivers of Cush,
2 qui mittit in mare legatos,
et in vasis papyri super aquas.
Ite, angeli veloces,
ad gentem convulsam et dilaceratam ;
ad populum terribilem, post quem non est alius ;
ad gentem exspectantem et conculcatam,
cujus diripuerunt flumina terram ejus.
2 who send ambassadors by sea, in little reed-boats across the waters! Go, swift messengers to a nationtal and bronzed, to a people feared far and near, a mighty and masterful nation whose country is criss-crossedwith rivers.
3 Omnes habitatores orbis, qui moramini in terra, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis,
et clangorem tubæ audietis.
3 Al you who inhabit the world, you who people the earth, when the signal is hoisted on the mountains,you wil see, when the ram's-horn is sounded, you wil hear.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad me :
Quiescam et considerabo in loco meo,
sicut meridiana lux clara est,
et sicut nubes roris in die messis.
4 For this is what Yahweh has told me, 'I shall sit here quietly looking down, like the burning heat in thedaytime, like a dewy mist in the heat of harvest.'
5 Ante messem enim totus effloruit,
et immatura perfectio germinabit ;
et præcidentur ramusculi ejus falcibus,
et quæ derelicta fuerint abscindentur et excutientur.
5 For, before the harvest, once the flowering is over and blossom turns into ripening grape, the brancheswil be cut off with pruning knives, and the shoots taken off, cut away.
6 Et relinquentur simul avibus montium
et bestiis terræ ;
et æstate perpetua erunt super eum volucres,
et omnes bestiæ terræ super illum hiemabunt.
6 Al has been abandoned to the mountain birds of prey and the wild animals: the birds of prey wilsummer on them, and al the wild animals winter on them.
7 In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum
a populo divulso et dilacerato,
a populo terribili, post quem non fuit alius ;
a gente exspectante, exspectante et conculcata,
cujus diripuerunt flumina terram ejus ;
ad locum nominis Domini exercituum, montem Sion.
7 Then, an offering will be brought to Yahweh Sabaoth on behalf of a people tal and bronzed, on behalfof a people feared far and near, on behalf of a mighty and masterful nation whose country is criss-crossed withrivers: to the place where the name of Yahweh Sabaoth resides, Mount Zion.
