Isaiah 28

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!	1 Vae coronae superbiae ebriorum Ephraim et flori decidenti gloriae maiestatis eius, qui erant in vertice vallis pinguissimae, errantes a vino!
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.	2 Ecce validus et fortis Domino sicut impetus grandinis, turbo confringens, sicut impetus aquarum multarum inundantium, et deiciet in terram violenter.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:	3 Pedibus conculcabitur corona superbiae ebriorum Ephraim;
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.	4 et erit flos decidens gloriae maiestatis eius, qui est super verticem vallis pinguium, quasi ficus praecox ante messem, quam quis, ut viderit, manu statim arreptam devorabit.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,	5 In die illa erit Dominus exercituum corona gloriae et sertum maiestatis residuo populi sui
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.	6 et spiritus iudicii sedenti ad iudicandum et fortitudo vertentibus proelium usque ad portam.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.	7 Verum hi quoque prae vino vacillant et prae ebrietate nutant; sacerdos et propheta vacillant prae ebrietate, absorpti sunt a vino, nutant in ebrietate, vacillant in visione, fluctuant in iudicio.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.	8 Omnes enim mensae repletae sunt vomitu sordiumque, ita ut non esset ultra locus.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.	9 Quem docebit scientiam? Et quem intellegere faciet auditum? Ablactatos a lacte, avulsos ab uberibus.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:	10 Etenim praeceptum ad praeceptum, praeceptum ad praeceptum, regula ad regulam, regula ad regulam, modicum ibi, modicum ibi.
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.	11 Balbis enim labiis et lingua altera loquetur ad populum istum,
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.	12 cui dixerat: “ Haec requies, reficite lassum; et hoc est refrigerium ”. Et noluerunt audire.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.	13 Et erit eis verbum Domini: “ Praeceptum ad praeceptum, praeceptum ad praeceptum, regula ad regulam, regula ad regulam, modicum ibi, modicum ibi ”, ut vadant et cadant retrorsum et conterantur et illaqueentur et capiantur.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.	14 Propter hoc audite verbum Domini, viri illusores, qui dominamini super populum meum, qui est in Ierusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:	15 Dixistis enim: “ Percussimus foedus cum morte et cum inferno fecimus pactum; flagellum inundans cum transierit, non veniet super nos, quia posuimus mendacium spem nostram et in fallacia absconditi sumus ”.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.	16 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: “ Ecce ego fundamentum ponam in Sion, lapidem, lapidem probatum, angularem, pretiosum, fundatum; qui crediderit, non turbabitur.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.	17 Et ponam iudicium tamquam normam et iustitiam tamquam perpendiculum; et subvertet grando spem mendacii, et latibulum aquae inundabunt.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.	18 Et delebitur foedus vestrum cum morte, et pactum vestrum cum inferno non stabit; flagellum inundans cum transierit, eritis ei in conculcationem.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.	19 Quandocumque pertransierit, tollet vos; quoniam mane diluculo pertransibit, in die et in nocte, et erit tantummodo horrendum intellegere auditum ”.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.	20 Coangustatum est enim stratum, ut quis se extendat, et pallium brevius, ut quis se operire possit.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.	21 Sicut enim in monte Pharasim stabit Dominus, sicut in valle, quae est in Gabaon, irascetur, ut faciat opus suum, novum opus suum, ut operetur operationem suam, peregrinam operationem suam.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.	22 Et nunc nolite illudere, ne forte constringantur vincula vestra; decretum enim destructionis audivi a Domino, Deo exercituum, super universam terram.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.	23 Auribus percipite et audite vocem meam, attendite et audite eloquium meum.
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?	24 Numquid tota die arat arans, ut serat, proscindit et sarrit humum suam?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and rie in their place?	25 Nonne, cum adaequaverit faciem eius, spargit nigellam et serit cuminum, ponit triticum et hordeum et far in finibus suis?
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.	26 Erudit enim illum recte, Deus suus docet illum.
27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.	27 Non enim in serris trituratur nigella, nec rota plaustri super cuminum circuit; sed in virga excutitur nigella, et cuminum in baculo.
28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.	28 Numquid comminuitur triticum? Verum non in perpetuum triturans triturabit illum, neque vexabit eum rota plaustri, nec ungulis suis comminuet eum.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.	29 Et hoc a Domino, Deo exercituum, exivit; mirabile fecit consilium, magnificavit sapientiam.
