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 Yahweh said to me, 'Take a large tablet and on it with an ordinary stylus write, "Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz".
2 Et adhibui mihi testes fideles, Uriam sacerdotem et Zachariamfilium Barachiae;	2 And take reliable witnesses, the priest Uriah 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 I then had intercourse with the prophetess, who then conceived and gave birth to a son. Yahweh said tome, 'Cal 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 say "mother" or "father", the wealth of Damascus and the booty of Samaria wil be carried away while the king of Assyria looks on.'
5 Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad meadhuc dicens:	5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said,
6 “ Pro eo quod abiecit populus iste aquas Siloae, quae vadunt cum silentio, et defecit coram Rasin et filio Romeliae,	6 'Since this people has rejected the waters of Shiloah which flow smoothly, and has trembled beforeRazon and the son of Remaliah,
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 now, against it, the Lord will bring the mighty, swel ing waters of the River (the king of Assyria and al hisglory); the River wil flood up all its channels and overflow al 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 wil flow into Judah, flooding everything and passing on; it will reach right up to the neck, and the spreading of its wings wil cover the whole extent of your country, Immanuel!
9 Clamorem tollite, populi, et consternemini; et audite, universae procul terrae: accingimini et perterremini, accingimini et perterremini.	9 Realise this, peoples, and be afraid, listen, all members of far-off nations! Arm yourselves yet be afraid!Arm yourselves yet be afraid!
10 Inite consilium, et dissipabitur; loquimini verbum, et non fiet, quia nobiscum Deus.	10 Devise plans as you may: they will come to nothing! Make what pronouncements you like; it wil notcome about! For God is with us!'
11 Haec enim ait Dominus ad me, cum apprehendit me manu et monuit, ne irem invia populi huius, dicens:	11 For this was how Yahweh spoke to me when his hand seized hold of me and he taught me not to fol owthe path of this people, saying,
12 “ Ne vocetis coniurationem, quodcumque populus iste vocat coniurationem, et timorem eius ne timeatis neque paveatis ”.	12 'Do not call conspiracy al that this people calls conspiracy; do not dread what they dread, have no fearof that.
13 Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate: ipse pavor vester, et ipse terror vester;	13 Yahweh Sabaoth is the one you wil proclaim holy, him you wil dread, him you wil fear.
14 et erit in sanctuarium, in lapidem offensionis et in petram scandali duabus domibus Israel, in laqueum et in insidias habitantibus Ierusalem.	14 He will be a sanctuary, a stumbling-stone, a rock to trip up the two Houses of Israel; a snare and a trapfor the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
15 Et offendent ex eis plurimi et cadent et conterentur et irretientur et capientur.	15 over which many of them wil stumble, fal and be broken, be ensnared and made captive.
16 Liga testimonium, signa legem in discipulis meis.	16 Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction in the heart of my disciples.'
17 Et exspectabo Dominum,qui abscondit faciem suam a domo Iacob, et praestolabor eum.	17 My trust is in Yahweh who hides his face from the House of Jacob; I put my hope in him.
18 Ecce ego etpueri, quos dedit mihi Dominus in signum et in portentum Israel a Dominoexercituum, qui habitat in monte Sion.	18 Look, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me shal become signs and portents in Israel onbehalf of Yahweh Sabaoth who dwel s 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 should people say to you, 'Go and consult ghosts and wizards that whisper and mutter' -- a peopleshould certainly consult its gods and 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 As regards instruction and testimony, without doubt this is how they wil talk, and hence there wil be nodawn for them.
21 Et transibit per eam afflictus et esuriens; et, cum esurierit, irascetur et maledicet regi suo et deo suo et suspiciet sursum	21 Oppressed and starving he wil wander the country; and, once starving, he wil become frenzied andcurse his king and his God; turning his gaze upward,
22 et ad terram intuebitur: et ecce tribulatio et tenebrae, caligo opprimens et obscuritas diffusa.	22 then down to earth, there wil be only anguish, gloom, the confusion of night, swirling darkness.
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 For is not everything dark as night for a country in distress? As the past humbled the land of Zebulunand the land of Naphtali, so the future will glorify the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, the territory of thenations.
