Isaia 29

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Vae Ariel, Ariel, civitas, quam circumdedit David! Addite annum ad annum, sollemnitates evolvantur;	1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
2 et circumvallabo Ariel, et erit maeror et maestitia, et erit mihi quasi Ariel.	2 And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
3 Et circumdabo te quasi sphaeram et iaciam contra te aggerem et munimenta ponam in obsidionem tuam.	3 And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
4 Humiliaberis, de terra loqueris, et de pulvere vix audietur eloquium tuum, et erit quasi pythonis de terra vox tua, et de humo eloquium tuum mussitabit.	4 Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
5 Et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo superborum tuorum, et sicut palea volans multitudo fortium. Eritque repente confestim,	5 And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
6 a Domino exercituum visitaberis in tonitruo et commotione terrae, magno fragore, turbine et tempestate et flamma ignis devorantis.	6 And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
7 Et erit sicut somnium visionis nocturnae multitudo omnium gentium, quae dimicant contra Ariel, et omnes, qui pugnant contra eam et contra munimenta eius et oppressores eius;	7 And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
8 Et sicut somniat esuriens, et ecce comedit, cum autem fuerit expergefactus, vacua est anima eius; et sicut somniat sitiens, et ecce bibit et, postquam fuerit expergefactus, lassus adhuc sitit, et anima eius vacua est, sic erit multitudo omnium gentium dimicantium contra montem Sion.	8 And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.
9 Obstupescite et admiramini, excaecamini et caeci estote, inebriamini et non a vino, vacillate et non ab ebrietate.	9 Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
10 Quoniam miscuit vobis Dominus spiritum soporis, clausit oculos vestros et capita vestra operuit.	10 For the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
11 Et erit vobis visio omnis sicut verba libri signati; quem cum dederintscienti litteras dicentes: “ Lege istum ”, respondebit: “ Non possum,signatus est enim ”.	11 And the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 Et dabitur liber nescienti litteras diceturque ei: “Lege ”, et respondebit: “ Nescio litteras ”.	12 And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
13 Et dixit Dominus: “ Eo quod appropinquat populus iste ore suo et labiis suis glorificat me, cor autem eius longe est a me, et est timor eorum erga me velut mandatum hominum perceptum,	13 And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines of men:
14 ideo ecce ego addam ut admirationem faciam populo huic miraculo grandi et stupendo: peribit sapientia sapientium eius, et prudentia prudentium eius abscondetur ”.	14 Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Vae, qui profunde a Domino consilium abscondunt, quorum sunt in tenebris opera, et dicunt: “ Quis videt nos, et quis novit nos? ”.	15 Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
16 Perversa cogitatio vestra! Numquid quasi lutum reputabitur figulus, ut dicat opus factori suo: “ Non fecisti me ”; et figmentum dicat fictori suo: “ Non intellegis ”?	16 This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
17 Nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus in hortum, et hortus in saltum reputabitur?	17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 Et audient in die illa surdi verba libri, et de tenebris et caligine oculi caecorum videbunt.	18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind shall see.
19 Et addent mites in Domino laetitiam, et pauperrimi hominum in Sancto Israel exsultabunt;	19 And the meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 quoniam defecit, qui praevalebat, consummatus est illusor, et succisi sunt omnes, qui vigilabant super iniquitatem,	20 For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
21 qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo et arguentem in porta supplantabant et deiecerunt inanibus verbis iustum.	21 That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
22 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus ad domum Iacob, qui redemit Abraham: “ Non modo confundetur Iacob, nec modo vultus eius erubescet;	22 Therefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
23 sed, cum viderit opera manuum mearum, in medio sui sanctificabunt nomen meum et sanctificabunt Sanctum Iacob et Deum Israel pavebunt,	23 But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify the God of Israel:
24 et scient errantes spiritu sapientiam, et mussitatores discent doctrinam ”.	24 And they that erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
