Isaiah 33

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 Woe, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; when wearied with betraying, you will be betrayed.	1 Væ qui prædaris ! nonne et ipse prædaberis ? et qui spernis, nonne et ipse sperneris ? Cum consummaveris deprædationem, deprædaberis ; cum fatigatus desieris contemnere, contemneris.
2 O LORD, have pity on us, for you we wait. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble!	2 Domine, miserere nostri, te enim exspectavimus ; esto brachium nostrum in mane, et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
3 At the roaring sound, peoples flee; when you rise in your majesty, nations are scattered.	3 A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersæ sunt gentes.
4 Men gather spoil as caterpillars are gathered up; they rush upon it like the onrush of locusts.	4 Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossæ plenæ fuerint de eo.
5 The LORD is exalted, enthroned on high; he fills Zion with right and justice.	5 Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso ; implevit Sion judicio et justitia.
6 That which makes her seasons lasting, the riches that save her, are wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is her treasure.	6 Et erit fides in temporibus tuis : divitiæ salutis sapientia et scientia ; timor Domini ipse est thesaurus ejus.
7 See, the men of Ariel cry out in the streets, the messengers of Shalem weep bitterly.	7 Ecce videntes clamabunt foris ; angeli pacis amare flebunt.
8 The highways are desolate, travelers have quit the paths, Covenants are broken, their terms are spurned; yet no man gives it a thought.	8 Dissipatæ sunt viæ, cessavit transiens per semitam : irritum factum est pactum, projecit civitates, non reputavit homines.
9 The country languishes in mourning, Lebanon withers with shame; Sharon is like the steppe, Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.	9 Luxit et elanguit terra ; confusus est Libanus, et obsorduit : et factus est Saron sicut desertum, et concussa est Basan, et Carmelus.
10 Now will I rise up, says the LORD, now will I be exalted, now be lifted up.	10 Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus ; nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
11 You conceive dry grass, bring forth stubble; my spirit shall consume you like fire.	11 Concipietis ardorem, parietis stipulam ; spiritus vester ut ignis vorabit vos.
12 The peoples shall be as in a limekiln, like brushwood cut down for burning in the fire.	12 Et erunt populi quasi de incendio cinis ; spinæ congregatæ igni comburentur.
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge my might.	13 Audite, qui longe estis, quæ fecerim ; et cognoscite, vicini, fortitudinem meam.
14 On Zion sinners are in dread, trembling grips the impious: "Who of us can live with the consuming fire? who of us can live with the everlasting flames?"	14 Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores ; possedit tremor hypocritas. Quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante ? quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis ?
15 He who practices virtue and speaks honestly, who spurns what is gained by oppression, Brushing his hands free of contact with a bribe, stopping his ears lest he hear of bloodshed, closing his eyes lest he look on evil--	15 Qui ambulat in justitiis et loquitur veritatem, qui projicit avaritiam ex calumnia, et excutit manus suas ab omni munere, qui obturat aures suas ne audiat sanguinem, et claudit oculos suos ne videat malum.
16 He shall dwell on the heights, his stronghold shall be the rocky fastness, his food and drink in steady supply.	16 Iste in excelsis habitabit ; munimenta saxorum sublimitas ejus : panis ei datus est, aquæ ejus fideles sunt.
17 Your eyes will see a king in his splendor, they will look upon a vast land.	17 Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi ejus, cernent terram de longe.
18 Your mind will dwell on the terror: "Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?"	18 Cor tuum meditabitur timorem : ubi est litteratus ? ubi legis verba ponderans ? ubi doctor parvulorum ?
19 To the people of alien tongue you will look no more, the people of obscure speech, stammering in a language not understood.	19 Populum impudentem non videbis, populum alti sermonis, ita ut non possis intelligere disertitudinem linguæ ejus, in quo nulla est sapientia.
20 Look to Zion, the city of our festivals; let your eyes see Jerusalem as a quiet abode, a tent not to be struck, Whose pegs will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes severed.	20 Respice, Sion, civitatem solemnitatis nostræ : oculi tui videbunt Jerusalem, habitationem opulentam, tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit ; nec auferentur clavi ejus in sempiternum, et omnes funiculi ejus non rumpentur :
21 In a place of rivers and wide streams on which no boat is rowed, where no majestic ship passes,	21 quia solummodo ibi magnificus est Dominus noster : locus fluviorum rivi latissimi et patentes : non transibit per eum navis remigum, neque trieris magna transgredietur eum.
22 Indeed the LORD will be there with us, majestic; yes, the LORD our judge, the LORD our lawgiver, the LORD our king, he it is who will save us.	22 Dominus enim judex noster, Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster, ipse salvabit nos.
23 The rigging hangs slack; it cannot hold the mast in place, nor keep the sail spread out. Then the blind will divide great spoils and the lame will carry off the loot.	23 Laxati sunt funiculi tui, et non prævalebunt ; sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas. Tunc dividentur spolia prædarum multarum ; claudi diripient rapinam.
24 No one who dwells there will say, "I am sick"; the people who live there will be forgiven their guilt.	24 Nec dicet vicinus : Elangui ; populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
