Isaia 30

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 “ Vae, filii desertores, dicitDominus, eo quod facitis consilium et non ex me, et pactum statuitis et non per spiritum meum, ut addatis peccatum super peccatum!	1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, Who carry out plans that are not mine, who weave webs that are not inspired by me, adding sin upon sin.
2 Qui ambulatis, ut descendatis in Aegyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine pharaonis et habentes fiduciam in umbra Aegypti.	2 They go down to Egypt, but my counsel they do not seek. They find their strength in Pharaoh's protection and take refuge in Egypt's shadow;
3 Et erit vobis fortitudo pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia sub umbra Aegypti in ignominiam.	3 Pharaoh's protection shall be your shame, and refuge in Egypt's shadow your disgrace.
4 Cum fuerint enim in Tani principes tui, et nuntii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerint,	4 When their princes are at Zoan and their messengers reach Hanes,
5 omnes confundentur super populo, qui eis prodesse non potest; non erit in auxilium et in utilitatem sed in confusionem et opprobrium ”.	5 All shall be ashamed of a people that gain them nothing, Neither help nor benefit, but only shame and reproach.
6 Oraculum iumentorum Nageb. In terra tribulationis et angustiae, leaenae et leonis rugientis, viperae et draconis volantis portant super umeros iumentorum divitias suas et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.	6 (Oracle on the Beasts of the Negeb) Through the distressed and troubled land of the lioness and roaring lion, of the viper and flying saraph, They carry their riches on the backs of asses and their treasures on the humps of camels To a people good for nothing,
7 Aegyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur; ideo vocavi Rahab otiosam.	7 to Egypt whose help is futile and vain. Therefore I call her "Rahab quelled."
8 Nunc ingredere, scribe coram eis super buxum et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in posterum in testimonium usque in aeternum.	8 Now come, write it on a tablet they can keep, inscribe it in a record; That it may be in future days an eternal witness:
9 Populus enim rebellis est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Domini;	9 This is a rebellious people, deceitful children, Children who refuse to obey the law of the LORD.
10 qui dicunt videntibus: “ Nolite videre ” et aspicientibus: “ Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quae recta sunt; loquimini nobis placentia, aspicite nobis illusiones.	10 They say to the seers, "Have no visions"; to the prophets, "Do not descry for us what is right; speak flatteries to us, conjure up illusions.
11 Recedite a via, declinate a semita, tollite a facie nostra Sanctum Israel ”.	11 Out of the way! Out of our path! Let us hear no more of the Holy One of Israel."
12 Propterea haec dicit Sanctus Israel: “ Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc et sperastis in perversitatem et in perfidiam et innixi estis super eis,	12 Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you reject this word, And put your trust in what is crooked and devious, and depend on it,
13 propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens, locus tumens in muro excelso, cuius confractio subito, dum non speratur, venit improviso;	13 This guilt of yours shall be like a descending rift Bulging out in a high wall whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 et comminuetur, sicut conteritur lagoena figuli, contritione absque misericordia, et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua capiatur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur aqua de fovea ”.	14 It crashes like a potter's jar smashed beyond rescue, And among its fragments cannot be found a sherd to scoop fire from the hearth or dip water from the cistern.
15 Quia haec dixit Dominus Deus, Sanctus Israel: “ In conversione et quiete salvi eritis; in silentio et in spe erit fortitudo vestra ”. Et noluistis	15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies. But this you did not wish.
16 et dixistis: “ Nequaquam, sed super equis fugiemus ”, ideo fugietis; et: “ Super veloces ascendemus ”, ideo veloces erunt, qui persequentur vos.	16 "No," you said, "Upon horses we will flee." --Very well, flee! "Upon swift steeds we will ride." --Not so swift as your pursuers.
17 Mille pavebunt a facie terroris unius, et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus in vertice montis et quasi signum super collem.	17 A thousand shall tremble at the threat of one; if five threaten you, you shall flee, Until you are left like a flagstaff on the mountaintop, like a flag on the hill.
18 Propterea exspectat Dominus, ut misereatur vestri, et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis, quia Deus iudicii Dominus; beati omnes, qui exspectant eum.	18 Yet the LORD is waiting to show you favor, and he rises to pity you; For the LORD is a God of justice: blessed are all who wait for him!
19 Nam, popule Sion, qui habitas in Ierusalem, plorans nequaquam plorabis: miserans miserebitur tui ad vocem clamoris tui; statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.	19 O people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, no more will you weep; He will be gracious to you when you cry out, as soon as he hears he will answer you.
20 Et dabit vobis Dominus panem angustiae et aquam afflictionis, sed non amplius avolabit a te doctor tuus; et erunt oculi tui videntes praeceptorem tuum,	20 The Lord will give you the bread you need and the water for which you thirst. No longer will your Teacher hide himself, but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher,
21 et aures tuae audient verbum post tergum monentis: “ Haec via, ambulate in ea ”, si declinaveritis ad dexteram vel ad sinistram.	21 While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears: "This is the way; walk in it," when you would turn to the right or to the left.
22 Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argentorum tuorum et vestimentum conflatilis aurei tui; disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatae. “ Egredere ” dices ei.	22 And you shall consider unclean your silver-plated idols and your gold-covered images; You shall throw them away like filthy rags to which you say, "Begone!"
23 Et dabit pluviam semini tuo, quod seminaveris in terra, et panis frugum terrae erit uberrimus et pinguis; pascetur pecus tuum in die illo, agnus in pascuis spatiosis,	23 He will give rain for the seed that you sow in the ground, And the wheat that the soil produces will be rich and abundant. On that day your cattle will graze in spacious meadows;
24 et boves tui et asini, qui operantur terram, commixtum migma comedent ventilatum in pala et ventilabro.	24 The oxen and the asses that till the ground will eat silage tossed to them with shovel and pitchfork.
25 Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum, cum ceciderint turres.	25 Upon every high mountain and lofty hill there will be streams of running water. On the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall,
26 Et erit lux lunae sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui et percussuram plagae eius sanaverit.	26 The light of the moon will be like that of the sun and the light of the sun will be seven times greater (like the light of seven days). On the day the LORD binds up the wounds of his people, he will heal the bruises left by his blows.
27 Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis eius fragor; labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.	27 See the name of the LORD coming from afar in burning wrath, with lowering clouds! His lips are filled with fury, his tongue is like a consuming fire;
28 Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans, usque ad collum pertingens, ad cribrandas gentes in cribro funesto, et frenum dolosum in maxillis populorum.	28 His breath, like a flood in a ravine that reaches suddenly to the neck, Will winnow the nations with a destructive winnowing, and with repeated winnowings will he battle against them (and a bridle on the jaws of the peoples to send them astray).
29 Canticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificatae sollemnitatis, et laetitia cordis sicut eius, qui ad sonum tibiae pergit in montem Domini, ad petram Israel.	29 You will sing as on a night when a feast is observed, And be merry of heart, as one marching along with a flute Toward the mountain of the LORD, toward the Rock of Israel, accompanied by the timbrels and lyres.
30 Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suae et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris et flamma ignis devorantis, in turbine et in imbre et in lapide grandinis.	30 The LORD will make his glorious voice heard, and let it be seen how his arm descends In raging fury and flame of consuming fire, in driving storm and hail.
31 A voce enim Domini pavebit Assyrius virga percussus.	31 When the LORD speaks, Assyria will be shattered, as he strikes with the rod;
32 Et erit omnis ictus baculi percutientis, quem requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis, et in bellis agitatis expugnabit eos.	32 While at every sweep of the rod which the LORD will bring down on him in punishment,
33 Praeparata est enim ab heri Topheth, praeparata, profunda et dilatata, in pyra eius ignis et ligna multa; flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendit eam.	33 For the pyre has long been ready, prepared for the king; Broad and deep it is piled with dry grass and wood in abundance, And the breath of the LORD, like a stream of sulphur, will set it afire.
