Isaiæ 18

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Vae terrae alarum strepitantium, quae est trans flumina Aethiopiae!	1 Woe to the land, the winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 Quae mittit in mari legatos et in vasis papyri super aquas: “ Ite, nuntii veloces, ad gentem proceram et lucidam, ad populum terribilem, prope et procul, gentem robustam et conculcantem, cuius flumina scindunt terram ”.	2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, and in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters. Go, ye swift angels, to a nation rent and torn in pieces: to a terrible people, after which there is no other: to a nation expecting and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled.
3 Omnes habitatores orbis et in terra commorantes, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis et, cum clanguerit tuba, audietis.	3 All ye inhabitants of the world, who dwell on the earth, when the sign shall be lifted up on the mountains, you shall see, and you shall hear the sound of the trumpet.
4 Quia haec dixit Dominus ad me: “ Quiescam et considerabo in loco meo, sicut calor torrens orta iam luce et sicut nubes roris in aestu messis ”.	4 For thus saith the Lord to me: I will take my rest, and consider in my place, as the noon light is clear, and as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.
5 Etenim ante vindemiam, cum consummatus fuerit flos, et uva germinans maturescens erit, praecidet ramusculos falcibus et propagines abscindet et proiciet;	5 For before the harvest it was all flourishing, and it shall bud without perfect ripeness, and the sprigs thereof shall be cut off with pruning hooks: and what is left shall be cut away and shaken out.
6 et relinquentur simul avibus montium et bestiis terrae; et aestate erunt super ea volucres, et omnes bestiae terrae super illa hiemabunt.	6 And they shall be left together to the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall be upon them all the summer, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo procero et lucido,a populo terribili, prope et procul, a gente robusta et conculcante, cuiusterram flumina scindunt, ad locum nominis Domini exercituum, montem Sion.	7 At that time shall a present be brought to the Lord of hosts, from a people rent and torn in pieces: from a terrible people, after which there hath been no other: from a nation expecting, expecting and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, to mount Sion.
