Isaiah 13

The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

onus Babylonis quod vidit Isaias filius Amos

Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

super montem caligosum levate signum exaltate vocem levate manum et ingrediantur portas duces

I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea exultantes in gloria mea

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populorum frequentium vox sonitus regum gentium congregatarum Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

venientibus de terra procul a summitate caeli Dominus et vasa furoris eius ut disperdat omnem terram

Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

ululate quia prope est dies Domini quasi vastitas a Domino veniet

Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

et conteretur tortiones et dolores tenebunt quasi parturiens dolebunt unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit facies conbustae vultus eorum

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

ecce dies Domini venit crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudine et peccatores eius conterendos de ea

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

quoniam stellae caeli et splendor earum non expandent lumen suum obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo et luna non splendebit in lumine suo

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

et visitabo super orbis mala et contra impios iniquitatem eorum et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo

I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

pretiosior erit vir auro et homo mundo obrizo

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

super hoc caelum turbabo et movebitur terra de loco suo propter indignationem Domini exercituum et propter diem irae furoris eius

And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

et erit quasi dammula fugiens et quasi ovis et non erit qui congreget unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur et singuli ad terram suam fugient

Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio

Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

infantes eorum adlident in oculis eorum diripientur domus eorum et uxores eorum violabuntur

Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint

Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

sed sagittis parvulos interficiant et lactantibus uteri non misereantur et super filios non parcat oculus eorum

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis inclita in superbia Chaldeorum sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram

It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs nec pastores requiescent ibi

But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

sed requiescent ibi bestiae et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus et habitabunt ibi strutiones et pilosi saltabunt ibi

And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius et sirenae in delubris voluptatis
