Isaiæ 25

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Domine, Deus meus es tu ; exaltabo te, et confitebor nomini tuo : quoniam fecisti mirabilia, cogitationes antiquas fideles. Amen.	1 O LORD, you are my God, I will extol you and praise your name; For you have fulfilled your wonderful plans of old, faithful and true.
2 Quia posuisti civitatem in tumulum, urbem fortem in ruinam, domum alienorum : ut non sit civitas, et in sempiternum non ædificetur.	2 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; The castle of the insolent is a city no more, nor ever to be rebuilt.
3 Super hoc laudabit te populus fortis ; civitas gentium robustarum timebit te :	3 Therefore a strong people will honor you, fierce nations will fear you.
4 quia factus es fortitudo pauperi, fortitudo egeno in tribulatione sua, spes a turbine, umbraculum ab æstu ; spiritus enim robustorum quasi turbo impellens parietem.	4 For you are a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in distress; Shelter from the rain, shade from the heat. As with the cold rain,
5 Sicut æstus in siti, tumultum alienorum humiliabis ; et quasi calore sub nube torrente, propaginem fortium marcescere facies.	5 as with the desert heat, even so you quell the uproar of the wanton.
6 Et faciet Dominus exercituum omnibus populis in monte hoc convivium pinguium, convivium vindemiæ, pinguium medullatorum, vindemiæ defæcatæ.	6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples A feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
7 Et præcipitabit in monte isto faciem vinculi colligati super omnes populos, et telam quam orditus est super omnes nationes.	7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, The web that is woven over all nations;
8 Præcipitabit mortem in sempiternum ; et auferet Dominus Deus lacrimam ab omni facie, et opprobrium populi sui auferet de universa terra : quia Dominus locutus est.	8 he will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.
9 Et dicet in die illa : Ecce Deus noster iste ; exspectavimus eum, et salvabit nos ; iste Dominus, sustinuimus eum : exsultabimus, et lætabimur in salutari ejus.	9 On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"
10 Quia requiescet manus Domini in monte isto ; et triturabitur Moab sub eo, sicuti teruntur paleæ in plaustro.	10 For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, but Moab will be trodden down as a straw is trodden down in the mire.
11 Et extendet manus suas sub eo sicut extendit natans ad natandum ; et humiliabit gloriam ejus cum allisione manuum ejus.	11 He will stretch forth his hands in Moab as a swimmer extends his hands to swim; He will bring low their pride as his hands sweep over them.
12 Et munimenta sublimium murorum tuorum concident, et humiliabuntur, et detrahentur in terram usque ad pulverem.	12 The high-walled fortress he will raze, and strike it down level with the earth, with the very dust.
