Isaia 30

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
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 rebel ious children -- declares Yahweh -- who make plans which do not come from me andmake al iances not inspired by me, and so add sin to 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 are leaving for Egypt, without consulting me, to take refuge in Pharaoh's protection, to shelter inEgypt's shadow.
3 Et erit vobis fortitudo pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia sub umbra Aegypti in ignominiam.	3 Pharaoh's protection will be your shame, the shelter of Egypt's shadow your confounding.
4 Cum fuerint enim in Tani principes tui, et nuntii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerint,	4 For his princes have gone to Zoan and his messengers have reached Hanes.
5 omnes confundentur super populo, qui eis prodesse non potest; non erit in auxilium et in utilitatem sed in confusionem et opprobrium ”.	5 Everyone has been disappointed by a people who cannot help, who bring neither aid nor profit, onlydisappointment and confusion.
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 Proclamation about the beasts of the Negeb: Into the land of distress and of anguish, of lioness androaring lion, of viper and flying dragon, they bear their riches on donkeys' backs, their treasures on camels'humps, to a nation that cannot help:
7 Aegyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur; ideo vocavi Rahab otiosam.	7 Egypt, whose help is vain and futile; and so I cal her 'Rahab -the-collapsed'.
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 go, inscribe this on a tablet, write it on a scrol , so that it may serve for time to come for ever andfor ever.
9 Populus enim rebellis est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Domini;	9 This is a rebellious people, they are lying children, children who will not listen to Yahweh's Law.
10 qui dicunt videntibus: “ Nolite videre ” et aspicientibus: “ Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quae recta sunt; loquimini nobis placentia, aspicite nobis illusiones.	10 To the seers they say, 'See nothing!' To the prophets, 'Do not prophesy the truth to us; tel us flatteringthings; have illusory visions;
11 Recedite a via, declinate a semita, tollite a facie nostra Sanctum Israel ”.	11 turn aside from the way, leave the path, rid us 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 So the Holy One of Israel says this, 'Since you have rejected this word and put your trust in fraud anddisloyalty and rely on these,
13 propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens, locus tumens in muro excelso, cuius confractio subito, dum non speratur, venit improviso;	13 for you this guilt will prove to be a breach opening up, a bulge at the top of a wal which suddenly andal at once comes crashing down.
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 He wil shatter it like an earthenware pot, ruthlessly knocking it to pieces, so that of the fragments notone shard can be found with which to take up fire from the hearth or scoop water from the storage-wel .'
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 Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, says this, 'Your salvation lay in conversion and tranquil ity,your strength in serenity and trust and you would have none of it.
16 et dixistis: “ Nequaquam, sed super equis fugiemus ”, ideo fugietis; et: “ Super veloces ascendemus ”, ideo veloces erunt, qui persequentur vos.	16 "No," you said, "we shall flee on horses." And so flee you wil ! And again, "We shal ride on swift ones." And so your pursuers will be swift!
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 wil quake at the threat of one and when five threaten you will flee, until what is left of youwil be like a flagstaff on a mountain top, like a signal on a hil .'
18 Propterea exspectat Dominus, ut misereatur vestri, et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis, quia Deus iudicii Dominus; beati omnes, qui exspectant eum.	18 But Yahweh is waiting to be gracious to you, the Exalted One, to take pity on you, for Yahweh is aGod of fair judgement; blessed are al who hope in 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 Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He wil be gracious to you when yourcry for help rings out; as soon as he hears it, 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 When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering and the water of distress, he who is your teacherwil hide no longer, and you wil see your teacher with your own eyes.
21 et aures tuae audient verbum post tergum monentis: “ Haec via, ambulate in ea ”, si declinaveritis ad dexteram vel ad sinistram.	21 Your ears wil hear these words behind you, 'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right orleft.
22 Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argentorum tuorum et vestimentum conflatilis aurei tui; disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatae. “ Egredere ” dices ei.	22 You wil hold unclean the silverplating of your idols and the goldplating of your images. You wil throwthem away like the pol uted things they are, shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
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 wil send rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the bread that the ground provides wil berich and nourishing. That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
24 et boves tui et asini, qui operantur terram, commixtum migma comedent ventilatum in pala et ventilabro.	24 Oxen and donkeys that work the land will eat for fodder wild sorrel, spread by the shovel-load andfork-load.
25 Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum, cum ceciderint turres.	25 On every lofty mountain, on every high hil there wil be streams and water-courses, on the day of thegreat slaughter when the strongholds fal .
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 Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight and sunlight itself be seven times brighter -- like the light ofseven days in one -- on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound and heals the scars of the blows they havereceived.
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 Yahweh comes from afar, blazing his anger, heavy his threat. His lips are brimmingover with fury, his tongue is like a devouring 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 is like a river in spate coming up to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve ofdestruction, to harness the peoples in a bridle, that wil lead 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 Your song wil be like that on a festal night, and there wil be joy in your hearts as when to the soundof the flute people make a pilgrimage to the mountain of Yahweh, the Rock of Israel.
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 Yahweh will make his majestic voice ring out, he wil show the weight of his arm in the heat of hisanger, with a devouring fire, with thunderbolt, downpour and hailstones.
31 A voce enim Domini pavebit Assyrius virga percussus.	31 Yes, at Yahweh's voice Assyria wil be terrified, he wil strike him with his 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 each time he goes by, wil fal the punishing rod that Yahweh wil lay on him, to the sound oftambourines and harps, in the battles which he wil wage against him with uplifted hand.
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 Yes, Topheth has been ready for a long time now, that too is ready for the king, deep and wide hispyre, fire and wood in plenty. Yahweh's breath, like a stream of brimstone, wil set fire to it.
