Prophetia Isaiae

Isaiah

1

In diebus illis ægrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem; et introivit ad eum Isaias, filius Amos, propheta, et dixit ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Dispone domui tuæ, quia morieris tu, et non vives.

In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and Isaiah the son of Amos the prophet cane unto him, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Take order with thy house, for thou shalt die, and not live.

In dies ad illos Ezechiase aegrota usque ad morte; et introi ad illo Isaiase, filio Amore, propheta, et dic ad illo: hoc dic Domino: dispone ad domo tuo, quia te more, et non vive.

2

Et convertit Ezechias faciem suam ad parietem, et oravit ad Dominum,

And Ezechias turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord,

Et Ezechiase converte facie suo ad pariete, et ora ad Domino,

3

et dixit: Obsecro, Domine, memento, quæso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate et in corde perfecto, et quod bonum est in oculis tuis fecerim. Et flevit Ezechias fletu magno.

And said: I beseech thee, O Lord, remember how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Ezechias wept with great weeping.

Et dic: obsecra, Domino, mene, quaese, quomodo ambula coram te in veritate et in corde perfice, et quod bono es in oculos tuo fac. Et Ezechiase fle fletu magna.

4

Et factum est verbum Domini ad Isaiam, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:

Et facto es verbo de Domino ad Isaiase, dicente:

5

Vade, et dic Ezechiæ: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui: Audivi orationem tuam, et vidi lacrimas tuas; ecce ego adjiciam super dies tuos quindecim annos,

Go and say to Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years:

Vade, et dic de Ezechiase: Domino Deo Davide de patre tuo dic hoc: audi oratione tuo, et vide lacrimas tuo; ecce me adiice super dies tuo quindecime annos,

6

et de manu regis Assyriorum eruam te, et civitatem istam, et protegam eam.

And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.

Et de manu de rege de Assyriis erue te, et civitate isto, et protige illa.

7

Hoc autem tibi erit signum a Domino, quia faciet Dominus verbum hoc quod locutus est:

And this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word which he hath spoken:

Hoc autem ad te es signo ab Domino, quia Domino i fac verbo hoc quod locuto es:

8

ecce ego reverti faciam umbram linearum per quas descenderat in horologio Achaz in sole, retrorsum decem lineis. Et reversus est sol decem lineis per gradus quos descenderat.

Behold I will bring again the shadow of the lines, by which it is now gone down in the sun dial of Achaz with the sun, ten lines backward. And the sun returned ten lines by the degrees by which it was gone down.

Ecce me reverte fac umbra de lineas per que descende in horologio Achaz in sole, retrorsus deceme linea. Et reverte es sole deceme linea per gradus que descende.

9

Scriptura Ezechiæ, regis Juda, cum ægrotasset et convaluisset de infirmitate sua.

The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.

Scriptura de Ezechiase, de rege Iuda, cum aegrota et convalesce de infirmitate suo.

10

Ego dixi in dimidio dierum meorum: Vadam ad portas inferi; quæsivi residuum annorum meorum.

I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years.

Me dic in dimidio de dies meo: vade ad portas de inferno; quaere residuo de annos meo.

11

Dixi: Non videbo Dominum Deum in terra viventium; non aspiciam hominem ultra, et habitatorem quietis.

I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest.

Fixe: non vide Domino Deo in terra vive; non aspice homine ultra, et habitatore de quiete.

12

Generatio mea ablata est, et convoluta est a me, quasi tabernaculum pastorum. Præcisa est velut a texente vita mea; dum adhuc ordirer, succidit me: de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.

My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd's tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

Generatione meo aufer es, et convola es ab me, quasi tabernaculo de pastus. Praecide es sicut ab texe vita meo; dum adhuc ordior, succide me: de mane usque ad vespera finie me.

13

Sperabam usque ad mane; quasi leo, sic contrivit omnia ossa mea: de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.

I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

Spera usque ad mane; quasi leone, sic contrie omni ores meo: de mane usque ad vespera finie me.

14

Sicut pullus hirundinis, sic clamabo; meditabor ut columba. Attenuati sunt oculi mei, suspicientes in excelsum. Domine, vim patior: responde pro me.

I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me.

Sicut pullo de hirundine, sic clama; meditor ut columba. Attenua es oculos meo, suspicie in excelso. Domino, vi pate: responde pro me.

15

Quid dicam, aut quid respondebit mihi, cum ipse fecerit? Recogitabo tibi omnes annos meos in amaritudine animæ meæ.

What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

Quid dic, aut quid responde ad me, cum ipso fac? Recogita ad te omni annos meo in amaritudine de anima meo.

16

Domine, si sic vivitur, et in talibus vita spiritus mei, corripies me, et vivificabis me.

O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.

Domino, si sic vive, et in tale vita de spiritu meo, corripie me, et vivifica me.

17

Ecce in pace amaritudo mea amarissima. Tu autem eruisti animam meam ut non periret; projecisti post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.

Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Ecce in pace amaritudine meo amaro. Te autem erue anima meo ut non peri; proicie post tergo tuo omni peccatos meo.

18

Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi, neque mors laudabit te: non exspectabunt qui descendunt in lacum veritatem tuam.

For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.

Quia non inferno confite ad te, neque morte lauda te: non qui descende in lacu veritate tuo expecta.

19

Vivens, vivens ipse confitebitur tibi, sicut et ego hodie; pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.

The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make the truth known to the children.

Vivente, vivente ipso confite ad te, sicut et me hodie; patre ad filios noto i fac veritate tuo.

20

Domine, salvum me fac! et psalmos nostros cantabimus cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ in domo Domini.

O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

Domino, salva me fac! Et psalmos nostro canta cuncta dies de vita nostro in domo de Domino.

21

Et jussit Isaias ut tollerent massam de ficis, et cataplasmarent super vulnus, et sanaretur.

Now Isaiah had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as a plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed.

Et Isaiase iube ut tolle massa de fices, et cataplasma super vulnere, et sana.

22

Et dixit Ezechias: Quod erit signum quia ascendam in domum Domini?

And Ezechias had said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

Et Ezechiase dic: quod es signo quia ascende in domo de Domino?
