1 This is the revelation made to Isaias, son of Amos, about Juda and Jerusalem, during the reigns of Ozias, Joatham, Achaz and Ezechias in Juda. 2 Listen, you heavens, and let earth attend to this, a divine remonstrance; my own sons, that I reared and brought to manhood, hold me in defiance! 3 Ox recognizes its owner, ass knows the way to its master’s crib; and I? I go unacknowledged; my own people of Israel gives me never a thought. 4 Woe to a sinful nation, a people bowed with guilt, a rebellious race, a brood foully degenerate! They have forsaken God, they have spurned the Holy One of Israel, turned strangers to me. 5 Would you have me smite you again, that you shew yourselves ever more faithless? Everywhere bowed heads, and faint hearts; 6 no health anywhere, from sole to crown, nothing but wounds, and bruises, and swollen sores, that none binds up, or medicines, or anoints with oil! 7 Your land a desert, your cities burnt to ashes, your fields ravaged before your eyes by strangers, desolation everywhere, as if an enemy had plundered you! 8 Poor Sion, forlorn as vineyard watch-tower, summer-house in a herb-garden, a beleaguered city! 9 A stock to breed from, so much the Lord of hosts has left us; but for that, we should be as Sodom is, Gomorrha’s doom should be ours. |
1 Visio Isaiæ, filii Amos, quam vidit super Judam et Jerusalem, in diebus Oziæ, Joathan, Achaz, et Ezechiæ, regum Juda. 2
Audite, cæli, et auribus percipe, terra,
quoniam Dominus locutus est.
Filios enutrivi, et exaltavi;
ipsi autem spreverunt me. 3
Cognovit bos possessorem suum,
et asinus præsepe domini sui;
Israël autem me non cognovit,
et populus meus non intellexit. 4
Væ genti peccatrici,
populo gravi iniquitate,
semini nequam, filiis sceleratis!
dereliquerunt Dominum;
blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israël;
abalienati sunt retrorsum. 5
Super quo percutiam vos ultra, addentes prævaricationem?
omne caput languidum,
et omne cor mœrens. 6
A planta pedis usque ad verticem,
non est in eo sanitas;
vulnus, et livor, et plaga tumens,
non est circumligata, nec curata medicamine,
neque fota oleo. 7
Terra vestra deserta;
civitates vestræ succensæ igni:
regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant,
et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili. 8
Et derelinquetur filia Sion
ut umbraculum in vinea,
et sicut tugurium in cucumerario,
et sicut civitas quæ vastatur. 9
Nisi Dominus exercituum
reliquisset nobis semen,
quasi Sodoma fuissemus,
et quasi Gomorrha similes essemus. |
