Isaia 13

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Oraculum Babylonis, quod vidit Isaias filius Amos.	1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
2 Super montem decalvatum levate signum, exaltate vocem, levate manum, et ingrediantur portas ducum.	2 Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
3 Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos ad iram meam, exsultantes in gloria mea.	3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
4 Vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populi ingentis, vox sonitus regnorum gentium congregatarum. Dominus exercituum recenset militiam belli;	4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5 veniunt de terra procul a termino caeli, Dominus et vasa furoris eius, ut disperdat omnem terram.	5 To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6 Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini; quasi vastitas a Domino veniet.	6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7 Propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis tabescet.	7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
8 Perterrebuntur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt eos, quasi parturiens dolebunt; unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit: facies combustae vultus eorum.	8 And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
9 Ecce dies Domini venit, crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque, ad ponendam terram in solitudinem, et peccatores eius conteret de ea.	9 Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Quoniam stellae caeli et sidera eius non expandent lumen suum; obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo, et luna non splendebit in lumine suo.	10 For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
11 Et visitabo super orbem propter mala et super impios propter iniquitatem eorum; et quiescere faciam superbiam protervorum et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo.	11 And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12 Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obryzo.	12 A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
13 Super hoc caelum turbabo, et movebitur terra de loco suo in indignatione Domini exercituum et in die irae furoris eius.	13 For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
14 Et erit quasi damula fugiens et quasi ovis, et non erit qui congreget; unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient.	14 And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
15 Omnis, qui inventus fuerit, occidetur, et omnis, qui captus fuerit, cadet in gladio;	15 Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
16 infantes eorum allidentur in oculis eorum, diripientur domus eorum, et uxores eorum violabuntur.	16 Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
17 Ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos, qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint;	17 Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
18 sed arcus pueros prosternent et fructui uteri non miserebuntur.	18 But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
19 Et erit Babylon, splendor regnorum, inclita superbia Chaldaeorum, sicut cum subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorram.	19 And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
20 Non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem, nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs, nec pastores accubare facient ibi,	20 It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
21 sed accubabunt ibi bestiae, et replebunt domus eorum ululae, et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi;	21 But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
22 et respondebunt ibi hyaenae in aedibus eius, et thoes in delubris voluptatis. Prope est ut veniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabuntur.	22 And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
