Isaiah 33

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.	1 Vae, qui praedaris, cum nemo te praedatus sit; qui devastas, cum nemo te devastaverit! Cum consummaveris depraedationem, depraedaberis; cum perfeceris devastationem, te devastabunt.
2 O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.	2 Domine, miserere nostri, te enim exspectavimus; esto brachium nostrum in mane et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
3 From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.	3 A voce fragoris fugerunt populi, ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.
4 And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.	4 Et congregabuntur spolia, sicut colligitur bruchus; sicut discurrunt locustae, ad ea discurritur.
5 The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.	5 Sublimis est Dominus, quoniam habitat in excelso; implet Sion iudicio et iustitia.
6 And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.	6 Et erit firmitas in temporibus tuis; divitiae salutis sapientia et scientia: timor Domini ipse est thesaurus eius.
7 Behold, outside, those who see will cry out. The Angels of peace will weep bitterly.	7 Ecce praecones clamabunt foris, angeli pacis amare flebunt.
8 The roads have become desolate. Travelers have ceased along the paths. The covenant has been nullified. He has tossed aside cities. He has disregarded men.	8 Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam; irritum fecit pactum, reiecit testes, non reputavit homines.
9 The earth has mourned and languished. Lebanon has been confounded and desecrated. And Sharon has become like a desert. And Bashan and Carmel have been struck together.	9 Luget et elanguescit terra, confusus est Libanus et obsorduit, et factus est Saron sicut desertum, et exaruerunt Basan et Carmelus.
10 “Now, I will rise up!” says the Lord. “Now I will be exalted! Now I will lift myself up!”	10 “ Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus, nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
11 You will conceive heat. You will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit will devour you like fire.	11 Concipietis fenum, parietis stipulam; spiritus meus ut ignis vorabit vos.
12 And the people will be like the ashes from a fire. They will be consumed by fire like a bundle of thorns.	12 Et erunt populi fornaces calcis: spinae congregatae igne comburentur.
13 “You who are far away, listen to what I have done! And you who are near, acknowledge my strength!”	13 Audite, qui longe estis, quae fecerim, et cognoscite, vicini, fortitudinem meam ”.
14 The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among you is able to live with a devouring fire? Who among you will live with an everlasting flame?	14 Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores, possedit tremor impios. Quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante? Quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis?
15 The one who walks in justice and speaks the truth, who casts out avarice with oppression and shakes all bribes from his hands, who blocks his ears so that he may not listen to blood, and closes his eyes so that he may not see evil.	15 Qui ambulat in iustitiis et loquitur aequitates, qui reicit lucra ex rapinis et excutit manus suas, ne munera accipiat, qui obturat aures suas, ne audiat sanguinem, et claudit oculos suos, ne videat malum:
16 Such a one will live on high; the fortification of rocks will be his lofty place. Bread has been given to him; his waters are reliable.	16 iste in excelsis habitabit, munimenta saxorum refugium eius; panis ei datus est, aquae eius fideles sunt.
17 His eyes will see the king in his elegance; they will discern the land from far away.	17 Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi tui, cernent terram longinquam.
18 Your heart will meditate on fear. Where are the learned? Where are those who ponder the words of the law? Where are the teachers of little ones?	18 Cor tuum cum timore inquiret: “ Ubi est scriba? Ubi ponderator? Ubi computator turrium? ”.
19 You will not look upon a shameless people, a people of exalted words. For you are not able to understand the dissertation of a tongue in which there is no wisdom.	19 Populum impudentem non videbis, populum profundi sermonis, ininterpretabilis, linguae barbarae absque intellegentia.
20 Look with favor upon Zion, the city of our solemnity. Your eyes will behold Jerusalem: an opulent habitation, a tabernacle that can never be taken away. Its stakes will not be taken away forever, nor will any of its cords be broken.	20 Respice Sion civitatem sollemnitatum nostrarum! Oculi tui videbunt Ierusalem, habitationem securam, tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit; nec auferentur clavi eius in sempiternum, et omnes funiculi eius non rumpentur.
21 For only in that place has our Lord been magnified. It is a place of rivers, very broad and open. No ship with oars will cross through it, nor will the great Greek ship pass through it.	21 Quia ibi potens Dominus pro nobis loco fluviorum, rivorum late patentium; non transibit ibi navis remigum, neque navis magna transgredietur eum.
22 For the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. He himself will save us.	22 Dominus enim iudex noster, Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster: ipse salvabit nos.
23 Your ropes have become loose, and they will not prevail. Your mast will be such that you will not be able to unfurl a flag. Then the spoils of much plunder will be divided. The lame will seize the spoils.	23 Laxati sunt funiculi tui nec sustinent malum suum, ut dilatare velum non queant. Tunc divident caeci praedam multam; claudi diripient rapinam.
24 He who is nearby will not say: “I am too weak.” The people who live in it will have their iniquity taken away from them.	24 Nec dicet incola: “ Elangui ”. Populus, qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.
