Isaia 21

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Oraculum deserti maris. Sicut turbines per austrum transeuntes, de deserto venit, de terra horribili.	1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 Visio dura nuntiata est mihi: praedo praedatur, et vastator vastat. Ascende, Elam; obside, Media; omnem gemitum eius cessare feci.	2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei tremore, angustia possedit me sicut angustia parientis; corrui, cum audirem; conturbatus sum, cum viderem.	3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 Vacillat cor meum, pavor invadit me: crepusculum optatum posuit mihi in terrorem.	4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
5 Ponunt mensam, stragulum pandunt, comedunt, bibunt. Surgite, principes, ungite clipeum.	5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6 Haec enim dixit mihi Dominus: “ Vade et pone speculatorem; quodcumque viderit, annuntiet.	6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 Si viderit currum, bigam equitum, ascensorem asini et ascensorem cameli, intueatur diligenter multo intuitu ”.	7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 Et clamavit speculator: “ Super specula, Domine, ego sum stans iugiter per diem, et super custodiam meam ego sum stans totis noctibus.	8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 Ecce, huc venit agmen virorum, biga equitum ”. Et respondit et dixit: “ Cecidit, cecidit Babylon, et omnia sculptilia deorum eius contrita sunt in terram ”.	9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 Tritura mea et fili areae meae, quae audivi a Domino exercituum, Deo Israel, annuntiavi vobis.	10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 Oraculum Duma. Ad me clamat ex Seir: “ Custos, quid de nocte? Custos, quid de nocte? ”.	11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 Dixit custos: “ Venit mane, sed etiam nox; si quaeritis, quaerite, revertimini, venite ”.	12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.
13 Oraculum in solitudine. In saltu, in solitudine dormietis, turmae Dedanim.	13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
14 Occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam, qui habitatis terram Thema; cum panibus occurrite fugienti:	14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
15 a facie enim gladiorum fugerunt, a facie gladii nudati, a facie arcus extenti, a facie gravis proelii.	15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 Quoniam haec dicit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc anno sicut anni mercennarii, etauferetur omnis gloria Cedar;	16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 et reliquiae numeri arcuum fortium filiorumCedar imminuentur; Dominus enim, Deus Israel, locutus est ”.	17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
