Isaiæ 34

VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Accedite, gentes, et audite ; et populi, attendite : audiat terra, et plenitudo ejus ; orbis, et omne germen ejus.	1 Draw near, O nations, to hear, and hearken, O peoples! Let the earth listen, and all that fills it; the world, and all that comes from it.
2 Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum : interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.	2 For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their host, he has doomed them, has given them over for slaughter.
3 Interfecti eorum projicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor ; tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.	3 Their slain shall be cast out, and the stench of their corpses shall rise; the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 Et tabescet omnis militia cælorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber cæli : et omnis militia eorum defluet, sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.	4 All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus ; ecce super Idumæam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meæ, ad judicium.	5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom, upon the people I have doomed.
6 Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum et hircorum, de sanguine medullatorum arietum : victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in terra Edom.	6 The LORD has a sword; it is sated with blood, it is gorged with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus ; inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium.	7 Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their soil made rich with fat.
8 Quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum judicii Sion.	8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Et convertentur torrentes ejus in picem, et humus ejus in sulphur ; et erit terra ejus in picem ardentem.	9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into brimstone; her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus ejus, a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam.	10 Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke 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 ; ibis et corvus habitabunt in ea : et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.	11 But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it, the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plummet of chaos over its nobles.
12 Nobiles ejus non erunt ibi ; regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes ejus erunt in nihilum.	12 They shall name it No Kingdom There, and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 Et orientur in domibus ejus spinæ et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus ejus ; et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.	13 Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14 Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum ; ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem.	14 And wild beasts shall meet with hyenas, the satyr shall cry to his fellow; yea, there shall the night hag alight, and find for herself a resting place.
15 Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra ejus ; illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.	15 There shall the owl nest and lay and hatch and gather her young in her shadow; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, each one with her mate.
16 Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite : Unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quæsivit ; quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus ejus ipse congregavit ea.	16 Seek and read from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus ejus divisit eam illis in mensuram : usque in æternum possidebunt eam ; in generationem et generationem habitabunt in ea.	17 He has cast the lot for them, his hand has portioned it out to them with the line; they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
