Isaiæ 22

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Onus vallis Visionis. Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta ?	1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
2 Clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exsultans ; interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.	2 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
3 Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt ; omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter ; procul fugerunt.	3 All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.
4 Propterea dixi : Recedite a me : amare flebo ; nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiæ populi mei ;	4 For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people.”
5 dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum, Domino Deo exercituum, in valle Visionis, scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.	5 For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
6 Et Ælam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.	6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Et erunt electæ valles tuæ plenæ quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.	7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Et revelabitur operimentum Judæ, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.	8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatæ sunt ; et congregastis aquas piscinæ inferioris,	9 And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 et domos Jerusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.	10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
11 Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinæ veteris ; et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam, et operatorem ejus de longe non vidistis.	11 And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
12 Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci ;	12 And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 et ecce gaudium et lætitia, occidere vitulos et jugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum : comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.	13 But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
14 Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum : Si dimittetur iniquitas hæc vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.	14 And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
15 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum : Vade, ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam, præpositum templi, et dices ad eum :	15 Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
16 Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic ? quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter, in petra tabernaculum tibi.	16 “What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
17 Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus ; et quasi amictum, sic sublevabit te.	17 Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
18 Coronas coronabit te tribulatione ; quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam ; ibi morieris, et ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ, ignominia domus domini tui.	18 He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
19 Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.	19 And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 Et erit in die illa : vocabo servum meum Eliacim, filium Helciæ,	20 And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
21 et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu ejus ; et erit quasi pater habitantibus Jerusalem et domui Juda.	21 And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum ejus ; et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat ; et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.	22 And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.
23 Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriæ domui patris ejus.	23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
24 Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris ejus ; vasorum diversa genera, omne vas parvulum, a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum.	24 And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
25 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli, et frangetur, et cadet, et peribit quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est.	25 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
