Isaia 34

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Accedite, gentes, ad audien dum; et populi, attendite. Audiat terra et plenitudo eius, orbis et omne germen eius.	1 Come near, ye Gentiles, and hear, and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it.
2 Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: ad interitum devovit eos et dedit eos in occisionem.	2 For the indignation of the Lord if upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them, and delivered them to slaughter.
3 Interfecti eorum proicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet foetor; dissolventur montes sanguine eorum.	3 Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a slink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 Et tabescet omnis militia caelorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber caeli, et omnis militia eorum defluet, sicut defluit folium de vinea et arida frons de ficu.	4 And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine, and from the fig tree.
5 Quoniam inebriatus est in caelo gladius meus: ecce super Edom descendet et super populum interfectionis meae ad iudicium.	5 For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment.
6 Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum et hircorum, de adipe viscerum arietum; victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in terra Edom.	6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Cadunt bubali cum eis, iuvenci cum tauris; inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium,	7 And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.
8 quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum ad vindicandam Sion.	8 For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.
9 Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur, et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.	9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 Nocte et die non exstinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius, a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in saecula saeculorum non erit transiens per eam.	10 Night and day it shall not be quenched, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste, none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus et ericius, noctua et corvus habitabunt in ea; et extendet super eam mensuram solitudinis et perpendiculum desolationis.	11 The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.
12 Nobiles eius non erunt, nec regnum proclamabunt; et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.	12 The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.
13 Et orientur in domibus eius spinae, urticae et paliurus in munitionibus eius; et erit cubile draconum et pascua struthionum.	13 And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Et occurrent hyaenae thoibus, et pilosus clamat ad amicum suum; ibi cubat lamia et invenit sibi requiem.	14 And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.
15 Ibi nidificat serpens ovaque deponit et circumfodit et fovet in umbra eius; illuc congregantur milvi alter ad alterum.	15 There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another.
16 Requirite in libro Domini et legite: unum ex eis non deest, alter alterum exspectare non debet; quia os Domini praecepit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.	16 Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit terram illis in mensura; usque in aeternum possidebunt eam, in generatione et generatione habitabunt in ea.	17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.
