| The Latin Vulgate (VUL) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 onus Babylonis quod vidit Isaias filius Amos
|
1 An oracle concerning Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
|
|
2 super montem caligosum levate signum exaltate vocem levate manum et ingrediantur portas duces
|
2 Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles.
|
|
3 ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea exultantes in gloria mea
|
3 I have commanded my holy ones; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath-- those who rejoice in my triumph.
|
|
4 vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populorum frequentium vox sonitus regum gentium congregatarum Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli
|
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war.
|
|
5 venientibus de terra procul a summitate caeli Dominus et vasa furoris eius ut disperdat omnem terram
|
5 They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens-- the LORD and the weapons of his wrath-- to destroy the whole country.
|
|
6 ululate quia prope est dies Domini quasi vastitas a Domino veniet
|
6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
|
|
7 propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur et omne cor hominis tabescet
|
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man's heart will melt.
|
|
8 et conteretur tortiones et dolores tenebunt quasi parturiens dolebunt unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit facies conbustae vultus eorum
|
8 Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame.
|
|
9 ecce dies Domini venit crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque ad ponendam terram in solitudine et peccatores eius conterendos de ea
|
9 See, the day of the LORD is coming --a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger-- to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.
|
|
10 quoniam stellae caeli et splendor earum non expandent lumen suum obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo et luna non splendebit in lumine suo
|
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.
|
|
11 et visitabo super orbis mala et contra impios iniquitatem eorum et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo
|
11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
|
|
12 pretiosior erit vir auro et homo mundo obrizo
|
12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir.
|
|
13 super hoc caelum turbabo et movebitur terra de loco suo propter indignationem Domini exercituum et propter diem irae furoris eius
|
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.
|
|
14 et erit quasi dammula fugiens et quasi ovis et non erit qui congreget unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur et singuli ad terram suam fugient
|
14 Like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
|
|
15 omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio
|
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword.
|
|
16 infantes eorum adlident in oculis eorum diripientur domus eorum et uxores eorum violabuntur
|
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives ravished.
|
|
17 ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint
|
17 See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold.
|
|
18 sed sagittis parvulos interficiant et lactantibus uteri non misereantur et super filios non parcat oculus eorum
|
18 Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants nor will they look with compassion on children.
|
|
19 et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis inclita in superbia Chaldeorum sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram
|
19 Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians' pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
|
|
20 non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs nec pastores requiescent ibi
|
20 She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flocks there.
|
|
21 sed requiescent ibi bestiae et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus et habitabunt ibi strutiones et pilosi saltabunt ibi
|
21 But desert creatures will lie there, jackals will fill her houses; there the owls will dwell, and there the wild goats will leap about.
|
|
22 et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius et sirenae in delubris voluptatis
|
22 Hyenas will howl in her strongholds, jackals in her luxurious palaces. Her time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
