Isaia 10

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Vae, qui condunt leges iniquas et scribentes iniustitiam scribunt,	1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 ut opprimant in iudicio pauperes et vim faciant causae humilium populi mei, ut fiant viduae praeda eorum, et pupillos diripiant!	2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 Quid facietis in die visitationis et calamitatis de longe venientis? Ad cuius confugietis auxilium et ubi derelinquetis gloriam vestram?	3 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
4 Nam incurvabimini subter captivos et infra occisos cadetis. In omnibus his non est aversus furor eius, sed adhuc manus eius extenta.	4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 Vae Assur, virga furoris mei et baculus in manu mea, indignatio mea!	5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 Ad gentem impiam mitto eum et contra populum furoris mei mando illi, ut auferat spolia et diripiat praedam et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum.	6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
7 Ipse autem non sic arbitratur, et cor eius non ita existimat; sed in corde suo ad conterendum et ad internecionem gentium non paucarum.	7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 Dicet enim: “ Numquid non principes mei omnes reges sunt?	8 For he will say:
9 Numquid non ut Charcamis sic Chalano? Numquid non ut Arphad sic Emath? Numquid non ut Damascus sic Samaria?	9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Quomodo apprehendit manus mea regna idololatra, quorum simulacra plura sunt quam in Ierusalem et in Samaria,	10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 numquid non sicut feci Samariae et idolis eius, sic faciam Ierusalem et simulacris eius? ”.	11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
12 Et erit: cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion et inIerusalem, visitabo super fructum superbiae cordis regis Assyriae et superarrogantiam altitudinis oculorum eius.	12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Dixit enim: “ In fortitudine manus meae feci et in sapientia mea, prudens sum enim; et abstuli terminos populorum et scrinia eorum depraedatus sum et detraxi quasi potens in sublimi sedentes;	13 For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
14 et apprehendit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum; et sicut colliguntur ova derelicta, sic universam terram ego congregavi, et non fuit qui moveret pennam aut aperiret os et ganniret ”.	14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
15 Numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum, qui secat in ea? Aut exaltabitur serra contra eum, qui trahit eam? Quomodo si agitet virga elevantem eam, et exaltet baculus eum, qui non est lignum.	15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
16 Propter hoc mittet Dominator, Dominus exercituum, in pingues eius tenuitatem; et subtus gloriam eius ardor ardebit quasi combustio ignis.	16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
17 Et erit Lumen Israel ignis, et Sanctus eius flamma; et succendetur et devorabit spinas eius et vepres in die una.	17 And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
18 Et gloriam saltus eius et horti eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumet, et erit sicut aeger tabescens;	18 And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 et reliquiae ligni saltus eius tam paucae erunt, ut puer scribat ea.	19 And what remain of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
20 Et erit in die illa: non adiciet residuum Israel et, qui effugerint de domo Iacob, inniti super eo, qui percutit eos, sed innitentur super Dominum, Sanctum Israel, in veritate.	20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Reliquiae revertentur, reliquiae, inquam, Iacob, ad Deum fortem.	21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
22 Si enim fuerit populus tuus, Israel, quasi arena maris, reliquiae revertentur ex eo; consummatio decreta redundat in iustitia:	22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 interitum enim, qui decretus est, Dominus, Deus exercituum, faciet in medio omnis terrae.	23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum: “ Noli timere, populusmeus habitator Sion, ab Assur; in virga percutiet te et baculum suum levabitsuper te sicut Aegyptus.	24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 Adhuc enim paululum modicumque, et consummabiturindignatio et furor meus ad destructionem eorum ”.	25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
26 Et suscitabit super eumDominus exercituum flagellum iuxta plagam Madian in Petra Oreb et virgam suamsuper mare et levabit eam sicut in Aegypto.	26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 Et erit in die illa: auferetur onus eius de umero tuo, et iugum eius de collo tuo. Et vastator ascendit a Remmon.	27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Veniet in Aiath, transibit per Magron, apud Machmas deponit sarcinas suas;	28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 transeunt vadum cursim; in Geba pernoctabimus; trepidat Rama, Gabaa Saulis fugit.	29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Hinni voce tua, Bathgallim; attende, Laisa; responde, Anathoth.	30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Migrat Medemena, habitatores Gabim fugiunt;	31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 hodie in Nob stabit: agitabit manum suam ad montem filiae Sion, collem Ierusalem.	32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Ecce Dominator, Dominus exercituum, amputat ramos in terrore, et extrema acumina succiduntur, et sublimes humiliantur;	33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 et caeduntur condensa saltus ferro, et Libanus cum excelsis suis cadet.	34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
