Isaia 24

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ecce Dominus dissipat terram et frangit eam et conturbat faciem eius et dispergit habitatores eius.	1 Lo, the LORD empties the land and lays it waste; he turns it upside down, scattering its inhabitants:
2 Et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos, et sicut servus sic dominus eius, sicut ancilla sic domina eius, sicut emens sic ille qui vendit, sicut fenerator sic is qui mutuum accipit, sicut qui repetit sic qui debet.	2 Layman and priest alike, servant and master, The maid as her mistress, the buyer as the seller, The lender as the borrower, the creditor as the debtor.
3 Dissipatione dissipabitur terra et direptione praedabitur: Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.	3 The earth is utterly laid waste, utterly stripped, for the LORD has decreed this thing.
4 Luget, languet terra, marcescit, languet orbis, marcescit altitudo simul cum terra.	4 The earth mourns and fades, the world languishes and fades; both heaven and earth languish.
5 Et terra infecta est sub habitatoribussuis, quia transgressi sunt leges, violaverunt mandatum, dissipaverunt foedus sempiternum.	5 The earth is polluted because of its inhabitants, who have transgressed laws, violated statutes, broken the ancient covenant.
6 Propter hoc maledictio voravit terram, et poenas exsolverunt habitatores eius; ideoque imminuti sunt cultores eius, et relicti sunt homines pauci.	6 Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants pay for their guilt; Therefore they who dwell on earth turn pale, and few men are left.
7 Luget mustum, emarcuit vitis, ingemiscunt omnes, qui laetabantur corde.	7 The wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted groan.
8 Cessavit gaudium tympanorum, quievit sonitus laetantium, cessavit gaudium citharae;	8 Stilled are the cheerful timbrels, ended the shouts of the jubilant, stilled is the cheerful harp.
9 cum cantico non bibent vinum, amara erit potio bibentibus illam.	9 They cannot sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who partake of it.
10 Attrita est civitas inanitatis, clausa est omnis domus, ut nemo introeat;	10 Broken down is the city of chaos, shut against entry, every house.
11 clamor est super vino in plateis, occidit omnis laetitia, translatum est gaudium terrae.	11 In the streets they cry out for lack of wine; all joy has disappeared and cheer has left the land.
12 Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et in ruinam confracta est porta;	12 In the city nothing remains but ruin; its gates are battered and desolate.
13 quia haec erunt in medio terrae, in medio populorum, quomodo si olivae excutiantur, et finita vindemia colligantur racemi.	13 Thus it is within the land, and among the peoples, As with an olive tree after it is beaten, as with a gleaning when the vintage is done.
14 Hi levabunt vocem suam, laudabunt maiestatem Domini, hinnient de mari.	14 These lift up their voice in acclaim; from the sea they proclaim the majesty of the LORD:
15 Propter hoc in regionibus lucis glorificate Dominum, in insulis maris nomen Domini, Dei Israel.	15 "For this, in the coastlands, give glory to the LORD! In the coastlands of the sea, to the name of the LORD, the God of Israel!"
16 A finibus terrae laudes audivimus: “ Gloria iusto ”. Et dixi: “ Secretum meum mihi, secretum meum mihi. Vae mihi! ”. Praevaricantes praevaricati sunt et praevaricatione praevaricantium praevaricati sunt.	16 From the end of the earth we hear songs: "Splendor to the Just One!" But I said, "I am wasted, wasted away. Woe is me! The traitors betray: with treachery have the traitors betrayed!
17 Formido et fovea et laqueus super te, habitator terrae.	17 Terror, pit, and trap are upon you, inhabitant of the earth;
18 Et erit: qui fugerit a voce formidinis, cadet in foveam; et, qui ascenderit de fovea, tenebitur laqueo, quia cataractae de excelsis apertae sunt, et concussa sunt fundamenta terrae.	18 He who flees at the sound of terror will fall into the pit; He who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap. For the windows on high will be opened and the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 Confractione confracta est terra, contritione contrita est terra, commotione commota est terra,	19 The earth will burst asunder, the earth will be shaken apart, the earth will be convulsed.
20 agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius et fluctuabit quasi tabernaculum; et gravis erit super eam iniquitas eius, et corruet et non adiciet ut resurgat.	20 The earth will reel like a drunkard, and it will sway like a hut; Its rebellion will weigh it down, until it falls, never to rise again."
21 Et erit in die illa: visitabit Dominus super militiam caeli in excelso et super reges terrae super terram;	21 On that day the LORD will punish the host of the heavens in the heavens, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 et congregabuntur et vincientur in lacu et claudentur in carcere; et post multos dies visitabuntur.	22 They will be gathered together like prisoners into a pit; They will be shut up in a dungeon, and after many days they will be punished.
23 Et erubescet luna, et confundetur sol, quia regnavit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion et in Ierusalem et in conspectu senum suorum glorificabitur.	23 Then the moon will blush and the sun grow pale, For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, glorious in the sight of his elders.
