Isaia 8

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Sume tibi tabulam grandem et scribe in eastilo hominis: Maher Salal Has Baz (id est Velociter spolia detrahe, citopraedare).	1 The LORD said to me: Take a large cylinder-seal, and inscribe on it in ordinary letters: "Belonging to Maher-shalal-hash-baz."
2 Et adhibui mihi testes fideles, Uriam sacerdotem et Zachariamfilium Barachiae;	2 And I took reliable witnesses, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, son of Jeberechiah.
3 et accessi ad prophetissam, et concepit et peperit filium.Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Voca nomen eius Maher Salal Has Baz,	3 Then I went to the prophetess and she conceived and bore a son. The LORD said to me: Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
4 quia antequamsciat puer clamare: “Pater mi” et “Mater mea”, afferentur opes Damasciet spolia Samariae coram rege Assyriorum ”.	4 for before the child knows how to call his father or mother by name, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried off by the king of Assyria.
5 Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad meadhuc dicens:	5 Again the LORD spoke to me:
6 “ Pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloae, quae vadunt cum silentio, et defecit coram Rasin et filio Romeliae,	6 Because this people has rejected the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, And melts with fear before the loftiness of Rezin and Remaliah's son,
7 propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos aquas Fluminis fortes et multas, regem Assyriorum et omnem gloriam eius, et ascendet super omnes rivos eius et fluet super universas ripas eius;	7 Therefore the LORD raises against them the waters of the River, great and mighty (the king of Assyria and all his power). It shall rise above all its channels, and overflow all its banks;
8 et ibit per Iudam inundans et diffluens, usque ad collum veniet. Et erit extensio alarum eius implens latitudinem terrae tuae, o Emmanuel ”.	8 It shall pass into Judah, and flood it all throughout: up to the neck it shall reach; It shall spread its wings the full width of your land, Immanuel!
9 Clamorem tollite, populi, et consternemini; et audite, universae procul terrae: accingimini et perterremini, accingimini et perterremini.	9 Know, O peoples, and be appalled! Give ear, all you distant lands! Arm, but be crushed! Arm, but be crushed!
10 Inite consilium, et dissipabitur; loquimini verbum, et non fiet, quia nobiscum Deus.	10 Form a plan, and it shall be thwarted; make a resolve, and it shall not be carried out, for "With us is God!"
11 Haec enim ait Dominus ad me, cum apprehendit me manu et monuit, ne irem invia populi huius, dicens:	11 For thus said the LORD to me, taking hold of me and warning me not to walk in the way of this people:
12 “ Ne vocetis coniurationem, quodcumque populus iste vocat coniurationem, et timorem eius ne timeatis neque paveatis ”.	12 Call not alliance what this people calls alliance, and fear not, nor stand in awe of what they fear.
13 Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate: ipse pavor vester, et ipse terror vester;	13 But with the LORD of hosts make your alliance-- for him be your fear and your awe.
14 et erit in sanctuarium, in lapidem offensionis et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israel, in laqueum et in insidias habitantibus Ierusalem.	14 Yet he shall be a snare, an obstacle and a stumbling stone to both the houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to those who dwell in Jerusalem;
15 Et offendent ex eis plurimi et cadent et conterentur et irretientur et capientur.	15 And many among them shall stumble and fall, broken, snared, and captured.
16 Liga testimonium, signa legem in discipulis meis.	16 The record is to be folded and the sealed instruction kept among my disciples.
17 Et exspectabo Dominum,qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob, et praestolabor eum.	17 For I will trust in the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob; yes, I will wait for him.
18 Ecce ego etpueri, quos dedit mihi Dominus in signum et in portentum Israel a Dominoexercituum, qui habitat in monte Sion.	18 Look at me and the children whom the Lord has given me: we are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 Et cum dixerint ad vos: “ Quaerite apythonibus et a divinis, qui susurrant et murmurant; numquid non populus a deosuo requiret, pro vivis a mortuis? ”.	19 And when they say to you, "Inquire of mediums and fortune-tellers (who chirp and mutter!); should not a people inquire of their gods, apply to the dead on behalf of the living?"--
20 Ad legem et ad testimonium! Quod sinon dixerint iuxta verbum hoc, non erit eis matutina lux.	20 then this document will furnish its instruction. That kind of thing they will surely say.
21 Et transibit per eam afflictus et esuriens; et, cum esurierit, irascetur et maledicet regi suo et deo suo et suspiciet sursum	21
22 et ad terram intuebitur: et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae, caligo opprimens et obscuritas diffusa.
23 Non erit enim amplius caligo, ubi erat oppressio. Primo tempore contemptibilem reddidit terram Zabulon et terram Nephthali; etnovissimo glorificavit viam maris, trans Iordanem, Galilaeam gentium.	23 First he degraded the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the end he has glorified the seaward road, the land West of the Jordan, the District of the Gentiles. Anguish has taken wing, dispelled is darkness; for there is no gloom where but now there was distress.
