Isaia 22

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Oraculum vallis Visionis. Quidnam tibi est, quia ascendisti omnis in tecta,	1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
2 clamoris plena, urbs tumultuans, civitas exsultans? Interfecti tui non interfecti gladio nec mortui in bello;	2 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
3 cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul sine arcu capti; omnes, qui inventi sunt, capti sunt simul, procul fugerunt.	3 All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.
4 Propterea dixi: “ Recedite a me, amare flebo; nolite incumbere, ut consolemini me super vastitate filiae populi mei ”.	4 For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people.”
5 Dies enim confusionis et conculcationis et fletus Domino, Deo exercituum, in valle Visionis, eversio murorum et vociferatio ad montem.	5 For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
6 Et Elam sumpsit pharetram, in agmine hominum equitum, et Cir nudavit clipeum.	6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Et electae valles tuae plenae sunt quadrigarum, et equites ponunt sedes suas in porta.	7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Et revelatum est operimentum Iudae, et respexisti in die illa armamentarium domus Saltus;	8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 et scissuras civitatis David vidistis, quia multiplicatae sunt; et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris.	9 And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 Et domos Ierusalem numerastis et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum;	10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
11 et lacum fecistis inter duos muros pro aqua piscinae veteris; sed non suspexistis ad eum, qui fecit haec, et eum, qui haec de longe formavit, non vidistis.	11 And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
12 Et vocavit Dominus, Deus exercituum, in die illa ad fletum et ad planctum, ad calvitium et ad cingendum saccum;	12 And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 et ecce gaudium et laetitia, occidere boves et iugulare pecus, comedere carnes et bibere vinum: “ Comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur ”.	13 But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
14 Et revelatum est in auribus meis a Domino exercituum: “ Certe non dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis, donec moriamini! ”, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum.	14 And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
15 Haec dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum: “ Vade, ingredere ad procuratorem istum, ad Sobnam praepositum palatii:	15 Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
16 “Quid tibi hic? Aut quis tibi hic, quia excidisti tibi hic sepulcrum?”. Effodiens in excelso sepulcrum suum, excavabat in petra tabernaculum sibi.	16 “What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
17 Ecce Dominus vehementer proiciet te, homo, violenter te apprehendens.	17 Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
18 In globum te convolvet glomerans; quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam: ibi morieris, et ibi erunt currus gloriae tuae, ignominia domus domini tui.	18 He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
19 Et expellam te de statione tua et de ministerio tuo deponam te.	19 And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 Et erit in die illa: vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helciae	20 And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
21 et induam illum tunicam tuam et cingulo tuo cingam eum et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius; et erit in patrem habitantibus Ierusalem et domui Iudae.	21 And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Et dabo clavem domus David super umerum eius; et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat; et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.	22 And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.
23 Et figam illum paxillum in loco securo, et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui.	23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
24 Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris sui, propagines etstirpes, omne vas parvulum, a pelvibus ad amphoras.	24 And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
25 In die illa, dicitDominus exercituum, auferetur paxillus, qui fixus fuerat in loco securo, etfrangetur et cadet; et peribit, quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est”.	25 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
