Isaia 31

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Vae, qui descendunt in Aegyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multae sunt, et super equitibus, quia praevalidi nimis, et non intendunt in Sanctum Israel et Dominum non requirunt!	1 Woe to those who descend into Egypt for assistance, hoping in horses, and putting their trust in four-horse chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are exceedingly strong. And they have not believed in the Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought the Lord.
2 Tamen et ipse sapiens adducit malum et verba sua non retractat; et consurget contra domum pessimorum et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.	2 Therefore, being wise, he has permitted harm, and he has not removed his words, and he will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who assist the workers of iniquity.
3 Aegyptius homo et non Deus, et equi eorum caro et non spiritus; et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet, cui praestatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur.	3 Egypt is man, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And so, the Lord will reach down his hand, and the helper will fall, and the one who was being helped will fall, and they will all be consumed together.
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus ad me: “ Quomodo si rugit leo et catulus leonis super praedam suam, cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, a voce eorum non formidabit et a multitudine eorum non pavebit, sic descendet Dominus exercituum, ut proelietur super montem Sion et supercollem eius.	4 For the Lord says this to me: In the same way that a lion roars, and a young lion is over his prey, and though a multitude of shepherds may meet him, he will not dread their voice, nor be afraid of their number, so will the Lord of hosts descend in order to battle upon mount Zion and upon its hill.
5 Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Ierusalem, protegens et liberans, parcens et salvans ”.	5 Like birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and freeing, passing over and saving.
6 Convertimini ad eum, a quo penitus recesseratis, filii Israel.	6 Be converted to the same depth that you have drawn away, O sons of Israel.
7 In die enim illa abiciet vir idola argentea sua et idola aurea sua, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum;	7 For in that day, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you unto sin.
8 et cadet Assyria in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum, et fugiet a facie gladii, et iuvenes eius vectigales erunt.	8 And Assur will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him. And he will not flee from the face of the sword, and his young men will be subject to a penalty.
9 Et fortitudo eius prae terrore transibit, et pavebunt signum principes eius, dixit Dominus, cuius ignis est in Sion, et caminus eius in Ierusalem.	9 And his strength will pass away in terror, and his princes will flee in fear. The Lord has said it. His fire is in Zion, and his furnace is at Jerusalem.
