Isaiæ 29

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Væ Ariel, Ariel civitas, quam expugnavit David ! additus est annus ad annum : solemnitates evolutæ sunt.	1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Et circumvallabo Ariel, et erit tristis et mœrens, et erit mihi quasi Ariel.	2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3 Et circumdabo quasi sphæram in circuitu tuo, et jaciam contra te aggerem, et munimenta ponam in obsidionem tuam.	3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4 Humiliaberis, de terra loqueris, et de humo audietur eloquium tuum ; et erit quasi pythonis de terra vox tua, et de humo eloquium tuum mussitabit.	4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo ventilantium te, et sicut favilla pertransiens multitudo eorum qui contra te prævaluerunt ;	5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 eritque repente confestim. A Domino exercituum visitabitur in tonitruo, et commotione terræ, et voce magna turbinis et tempestatis, et flammæ ignis devorantis.	6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 Et erit sicut somnium visionis nocturnæ multitudo omnium gentium quæ dimicaverunt contra Ariel, et omnes qui militaverunt, et obsederunt, et prævaluerunt adversus eam.	7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 Et sicut somniat esuriens, et comedit, cum autem fuerit expergefactus, vacua est anima ejus ; et sicut somniat sitiens et bibit, et postquam fuerit expergefactus, lassus adhuc sitit, et anima ejus vacua est : sic erit multitudo omnium gentium quæ dimicaverunt contra montem Sion.	8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 Obstupescite et admiramini ; fluctuate et vacillate ; inebriamini, et non a vino ; movemini, et non ab ebrietate.	9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Quoniam miscuit vobis Dominus spiritum soporis ; claudet oculos vestros : prophetas et principes vestros, qui vident visiones, operiet.	10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11 Et erit vobis visio omnium sicut verba libri signati, quem cum dederint scienti litteras, dicent : Lege istum : et respondebit : Non possum, signatus est enim.	11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 Et dabitur liber nescienti litteras, diceturque ei : Lege ; et respondebit : Nescio litteras.	12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13 Et dixit Dominus : Eo quod appropinquat populus iste ore suo, et labiis suis glorificat me, cor autem ejus longe est a me, et timuerunt me mandato hominum et doctrinis,	13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 ideo ecce ego addam ut admirationem faciam populo huic miraculo grandi et stupendo ; peribit enim sapientia a sapientibus ejus, et intellectus prudentium ejus abscondetur.	14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Væ qui profundi estis corde, ut a Domino abscondatis consilium ; quorum sunt in tenebris opera, et dicunt : Quis videt nos ? et quis novit nos ?	15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Perversa est hæc vestra cogitatio ; quasi si lutum contra figulum cogitet, et dicat opus factori suo : Non fecisti me ; et figmentum dicat fictori suo : Non intelligis.	16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus in carmel, et carmel in saltum reputabitur ?	17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 Et audient in die illa surdi verba libri, et de tenebris et caligine oculi cæcorum videbunt.	18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 Et addent mites in Domino lætitiam, et pauperes homines in Sancto Israël exsultabunt ;	19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 quoniam defecit qui prævalebat, consummatus est illusor, et succisi sunt omnes qui vigilabant super iniquitatem,	20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo, et arguentem in porta supplantabant, et declinaverunt frustra a justo.	21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22 Propter hoc, hæc dicit Dominus ad domum Jacob, qui redemit Abraham : Non modo confundetur Jacob, nec modo vultus ejus erubescet ;	22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 sed cum viderit filios suos, opera manuum mearum in medio sui sanctificantes nomen meum, et sanctificabunt Sanctum Jacob, et Deum Israël prædicabunt ;	23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 et scient errantes spiritu intellectum, et mussitatores discent legem.	24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
