Isaia 32

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ecce in iustitia regnabit rex, et principes in iudicio praee runt.	1 There wil be a king who reigns uprightly and princes who rule with fair judgement;
2 Et erit vir sicut latibulum a vento et refugium a tempestate, sicut rivi aquarum in sitiente terra et umbra petrae magnae in terra arida.	2 each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams on arid ground, like theshade of a solid rock in a desolate land.
3 Non caligabunt oculi videntium, et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt,	3 The eyes of seers wil no longer be closed, the ears of hearers wil be alert,
4 et cor stultorum intelleget scientiam, et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.	4 the heart of the hasty wil learn to think things over, and the tongue of stammerers wil speak promptlyand clearly.
5 Non vocabitur ultra is, qui insipiens est, nobilis, neque fraudulentus appellabitur maior;	5 The fool wil no longer be cal ed generous, nor the rascal be styled bountiful.
6 stultus enim fatua loquitur, et cor eius cogitat iniquitatem, ut perficiat impietatem et loquatur contra Dominum errores et vacuam faciat animam esurientem et potum sitienti auferat.	6 For the fool speaks fol y and his heart is set on vil ainy; he is godless in his actions and his wordsascribe error to Yahweh; he starves the hungry of their food and refuses drink to the thirsty.
7 Fraudulenti fraudes pessimae sunt; ipse enim cogitationes concinnat ad perdendos mites in sermone mendaci, etiam quando pauper iudicium vindicat.	7 Everything to do with the rascal is evil, he devises infamous plans to ruin the poor with lying wordseven when the needy has right on his side;
8 Nobilis vero consilia nobilia dat et ipse ad nobilia assurget.	8 but the noble person plans only noble things, noble his every move.
9 Mulieres vanae, surgite, audite vocem meam; filiae confidentes, percipite auribus eloquium meum.	9 Stand up, you haughty women, listen to my words; you over-confident daughters, pay attention to whatI say.
10 Post dies enim et annum vos pavebitis confidentes; consummata est enim vindemia, collectio ultra non veniet.	10 Within one year and a few days you wil tremble, you over-confident women; grape-harvesting will befinished, gathering will never happen again.
11 Obstupescite, vanae; pavete, confidentes, exuite vos et nudate vos, accingite lumbos vestros.	11 Shudder, you haughty women, tremble, you over-confident women; strip, undress, put sackclothround your waists.
12 Super ubera plangite, super regione desiderabili, super vinea fertili.	12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13 Super humum populi mei spinae et vepres ascendent, super omnes domos gaudii, super civitatem exsultantem.	13 for my people's soil where the bramble-bush wil be growing and for al the happy houses, for therejoicing city.
14 Domus enim dimissa est; multitudo urbis relicta est, Ophel et Bahan erunt speluncae usque in aeternum, gaudium onagrorum, pascua gregum,	14 For the citadel wil be abandoned and the thronged city deserted, Ophel and the Keep wil be denudedfor ever, the playground of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
15 donec effundatur super nos spiritus de excelso. Et erit desertum in hortum, et hortus in saltum reputabitur,	15 until the spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes an orchard, and an orchardthat seems like a forest.
16 et habitabit in solitudine iudicium, et iustitia in horto sedebit;	16 Fair judgement wil fix its home in the desert, and uprightness live in this orchard,
17 et erit opus iustitiae pax, et cultus iustitiae silentium, et securitas usque in sempiternum.	17 and the product of uprightness will be peace, the effect of uprightness being quiet and security forever.
18 Et sedebit populus meus in habitatione pacis et in tabernaculis fiduciae et in locis securis.	18 My people will live in a peaceful home, in peaceful houses, tranquil dwel ings.
19 Et penitus cadet saltus, et profunde deprimetur civitas.	19 And should the forest be total y destroyed and the city gravely humiliated,
20 Beati, qui seminatis super omnes aquas, immittentes pedem bovis et asini.	20 You wil be happy to sow wherever there is water and to let the ox and donkey roam free.
