Isaiah 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Her time is drawing near, and her days will not be prolonged. For the Lord will take pity on Jacob, and he will still choose from Israel, and he will cause them to rest upon their own soil. And the new arrival will be joined to them, and he will adhere to the house of Jacob.	1 Miserebitur enim Dominus Iacob et eliget adhuc de Israel et requiescere eos faciet super humum suam; adiungetur advena ad eos et adhaerebit domui Iacob.
2 And the people will take them, and lead them to their place. And the house of Israel will possess them, in the land of the Lord, as men and women servants. And they will take captive those who had taken them captive. And they will subjugate their oppressors.	2 Et tenebunt eos populi et adducent eos in locum suum; et possidebit eos domus Israel super terram Domini in servos et ancillas; et erunt capientes eos, qui se ceperant, et subicient exactores suos.
3 And this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,	3 Et erit in die illa: cum requiem dederit tibi Dominus a labore tuo et a concussione tua et a servitute dura, qua ante servisti,
4 you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?	4 proferes parabolam istam contra regem Babylonis et dices: “ Quomodo cessavit exactor, quievit oppressio?
5 The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,	5 Contrivit Dominus baculum impiorum, virgam dominantium,
6 which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.	6 caedentem populos in indignatione plaga sine remissione, subicientem in furore gentes persecutione sine fine.
7 All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.	7 Conquievit et siluit omnis terra, gavisa est, et exsultaverunt.
8 The evergreens, too, have rejoiced over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: ‘Since you have slept, no one has ascended who would cut us down.’	8 Abietes quoque laetatae sunt super te, et cedri Libani: “Ex quo dormisti, non ascendit, qui succidat nos”.
9 Hell below was stirred up to meet you at your advent; it has awakened the giants for you. All the leaders of the earth have risen from their thrones, all the leaders among the nations.”	9 Infernus subter conturbatus est in occursum adventus tui; suscitat tibi umbras, omnes principes terrae surgere fecit de soliis suis, omnes reges nationum.
10 Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.	10 Universi respondebunt et dicent tibi: “Et tu vulneratus es sicut nos, nostri similis effectus es”.
11 Your arrogance has been dragged down to Hell. Your body has fallen dead. The moths will be strewn beneath you, and the worms will be your covering.	11 Detracta est ad inferos superbia tua, sonitus nablorum tuorum; subter te sternitur tinea, et operimentum tuum sunt vermes.
12 How is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?	12 Quomodo cecidisti de caelo, lucifer, fili aurorae? Deiectus es in terram, qui deiciebas gentes,
13 And you said in your heart: ‘I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.	13 qui dicebas in corde tuo: “In caelum conscendam, super astra Dei exaltabo solium meum, sedebo in monte conventus in lateribus aquilonis;
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’	14 ascendam super altitudinem nubium, similis ero Altissimo”.
15 Yet truly, you shall be dragged down to Hell, into the depths of the pit.	15 Verumtamen ad infernum detractus es, in profundum laci.
16 Those who see you, will lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: ‘Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook kingdoms,	16 Qui te viderint, te intuentur teque prospicient: “Numquid iste est vir, qui conturbavit terram, qui concussit regna,
17 who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’ ”	17 qui posuit orbem desertum et urbes eius destruxit, vinctis eius non aperuit carcerem?
18 All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.	18 Omnes reges gentium universi dormiunt in gloria, vir in domo sua;
19 But you have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.	19 tu autem proiectus es de sepulcro tuo quasi stirps abominabilis, obvolutus cum his, qui interfecti sunt gladio et descenderunt ad lapides sepulcri, quasi cadaver conculcatum.
20 You will not be associated with them, even in the grave. For you have destroyed your own land; you have slain your own people. The offspring of the wicked ones will not be called upon for eternity.	20 Non habebis consortium cum eis in sepultura; tu enim terram tuam disperdidisti, tu populum tuum occidisti: non vocabitur in aeternum semen malefactorum.
21 Prepare his sons for the slaughter, according to the iniquity of their fathers. They will not rise up, nor inherit the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.	21 Praeparate filios eius occisioni ob iniquitatem patrum suorum; ne consurgant, ut hereditent terram, neque impleant faciem orbis civitatum” ”.
22 But I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts. And I will perish the name of Babylon and its remnants: both the plant and its progeny, says the Lord.	22 “ Et consurgam contra eos, dicit Dominus exercituum; et perdam Babylonis nomen et reliquias et germen et progeniem, dicit Dominus;
23 And I will appoint it as a possession for the hedgehog, with swamps of water. And I will sweep it out and wear it away with a brush, says the Lord of hosts.	23 et ponam eam in possessionem ericii et in paludes aquarum, et scopabo eam in scopa destructionis ”, dicit Dominus exercituum.
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying: Surely, just as I have considered it, so shall it be, and in the same manner as I have drawn it through my mind,	24 Iuravit Dominus exercituum dicens: “ Profecto, ut putavi, ita erit; et quomodo mente tractavi, sic eveniet.
25 so shall it occur. So shall I crush the Assyrian in my land, and I will trample him upon my mountains, and his yoke will be taken away from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulder.	25 Conteram Assyrium in terra mea et in montibus meis conculcabo eum; et auferetur ab eis iugum eius, et onus illius ab umero eorum tolletur ”.
26 This is the plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the nations.	26 Hoc consilium, quod initum est super omnem terram, et haec est manus extenta super universas gentes.
27 For the Lord of hosts has decreed it, and who is able to weaken it? And his hand is extended, so who can avert it?	27 Dominus enim exercituum decrevit, et quis poterit infirmare? Et manus eius extenta, et quis avertet eam?
28 In the year in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:	28 In anno, quo mortuus est rex Achaz, factum est oraculum istud:
29 You should not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod of him who struck you has been crushed. For from the root of the serpent will go forth a king snake, and his offspring will engulf that which flies.	29 “ Ne laeteris, Philisthaea omnis tu, quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui; de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus, et semen eius draco volans.
30 And the firstborn of the poor will be pastured, and the poor will rest in faithfulness. And I will cause your root to pass away by famine, and I will put to death your remnant.	30 Et pascentur primogeniti egenorum, et pauperes fiducialiter requiescent; et interire faciam in fame radicem tuam et reliquias tuas interficiam.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! All of Philistia has been prostrated. For a smoke will arrive from the north, and there is no one who will escape his army.	31 Ulula, porta! Clama, civitas! Contremisce, Philisthaea omnis; ab aquilone enim fumus venit, et non est fugitivus in agminibus eius ”.
32 And what will be the response to this news among the nations? It will be that the Lord has established Zion, and that the poor of his people will hope in him.	32 Et quid respondebitur nuntiis gentis? “ Quia Dominus fundavit Sion, et in ipsam confugiunt pauperes populi eius ”.
