Isaiah 22

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

onus vallis Visionis quidnam tibi quoque est quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta

Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

clamoris plena urbs frequens civitas exultans interfecti tui non interfecti gladio nec mortui in bello

All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter procul fugerunt

Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

propterea dixi recedite a me amare flebo nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiae populi mei

For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

dies enim interfectionis et conculcationis et fletuum Domino Deo exercituum in valle Visionis scrutans murum et magnificus super montem

And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

et Aelam sumpsit faretram currum hominis equitis et parietem nudavit clypeus

And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

et erunt electae valles tuae plenae quadrigarum et equites ponent sedes suas in porta

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

et revelabitur operimentum Iudae et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus

Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

et scissuras civitatis David videbitis quia multiplicatae sunt et congregastis aquas piscinae inferioris

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

et domos Hierusalem numerastis et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum

Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

et lacum fecistis inter duos muros et aquam piscinae veteris et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam et operatorem eius de longe non vidistis

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

et vocavit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum et ad planctum ad calvitium et ad cingulum sacci

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

et ecce gaudium et laetitia occidere vitulos et iugulare arietes comedere carnes et bibere vinum comedamus et bibamus cras enim moriemur

And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

et revelata est in auribus meis Domini exercituum si dimittetur iniquitas haec vobis donec moriamini dicit Dominus Deus exercituum

Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum vade ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo ad Sobnam praepositum templi

What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

quid tu hic aut quasi quis hic quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum excidisti in excelso memoriam diligenter in petra tabernaculum tibi

Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

ecce Dominus asportari te faciet sicut asportatur gallus gallinacius et quasi amictum sic sublevabit te

He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

coronans coronabit te tribulatione quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam ibi morieris et ibi erit currus gloriae tuae ignominia domus Domini tui

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

et expellam te de statione tua et de ministerio tuo deponam te

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

et erit in die illa vocabo servum meum Eliachim filium Helciae

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

et induam illum tunicam tuam et cingulo tuo confortabo eum et potestatem tuam dabo in manu eius et erit quasi pater habitantibus Hierusalem et domui Iuda

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

et dabo clavem domus David super umerum eius et aperiet et non erit qui claudat et claudet et non erit qui aperiat

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli et erit in solium gloriae domui patris sui

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris eius vasorum diversa genera omne vas parvulum a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

in die illo 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
