25 — Isaia

1O Lord, thou art my God, I will exalt thee, and give glory to thy name: for thou hast done wonderful things, thy designs of old faithful, amen.Signore, tu se il mio Dio; te io esalterò, benedirò il nome tuo, perchè hai eseguite cose ammirande, consigli antichi fedeli: così è.OLORD thou art my God, I wil exalt thee, and confesse to thy name: because thou hast done meruelous thinges, the old cogitations faithful, Amen.Domine, Deus meus es tu; / exaltabo te, et confitebor nomini tuo: / quoniam fecisti mirabilia, / cogitationes antiquas fideles. Amen. 2For thou hast reduced the city to a heap, the strong city to ruin, the house of strangers, to be no city, and to be no more built up for ever.Perchè in un sepolcro hai ridotta la città, la città potente, la casa d'uomini stranieri in una massa di rottami, onde non sia più città, e non sia rifabbricata in sempiterno.Because thou hast brought the citie into a heape, the strong citie into ruine, the house of strangers: that it be no citie, & that it be not built for euer.Quia posuisti civitatem in tumulum, / urbem fortem in ruinam, domum alienorum: / ut non sit civitas, / et in sempiternum non ædificetur. 3Therefore shall a strong people praise thee, the city of mighty nations shall fear thee.Per questo darà lode a te il popol forte, la città di genti robuste ti temerà.For this shal strong people prayse thee, the citie of strong nations shal feare thee.Super hoc laudabit te populus fortis; / civitas gentium robustarum timebit te: 4Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.Perchè tu sei stato fortezza al povero, fortezza al mendico nella sua tribolazione: speranza nella procella, suo riparo dall'ardore del giorno; perocché l'impeto dei potenti è qual turbine, che fa traballare una muraglia.Because thou art become a strength to the poore, a strength to the needie in his tribulation: an hope against the whirlwinde, a shadow against the heate. For the spirit of the strong is as a whirlwinde beating against a wal.quia factus es fortitudo pauperi, / fortitudo egeno in tribulatione sua, / spes a turbine, / umbraculum ab æstu; / spiritus enim robustorum / quasi turbo impellens parietem. 5Thou shalt bring down the tumult of strangers, as heat in thirst: and as with heat under a burning cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the mighty to wither away.Abbatterai tu l'arroganza degli stranieri, come il violento ardore (abbatte) nella sete; e quasi con vampa di nube ardente farai seccare la propagine di questi potenti.As heate in thirst, shalt thou humble the tumult of strangers: and as with heate vnder a burning cloude thou shalt make the branch of the strong to wither.Sicut æstus in siti, / tumultum alienorum humiliabis; / et quasi calore sub nube torrente, / propaginem fortium marcescere facies.

6And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from the lees.E il Signore degli eserciti farà a tutti i popoli in questo monte un convito di grasse carni, un convito di vendemmia, di carni grasse midollose, di vino senza feccia.And the Lord of hostes shal make to al peoples in this mount, a feast of fat thinges, a feast of vintage, of fat thinges ful of marrow, of vintage purified from the dregges.Et faciet Dominus exercituum / omnibus populis in monte hoc / convivium pinguium, / convivium vindemiæ, / pinguium medullatorum, / vindemiæ defæcatæ. 7And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the bond with which all people were tied, and the web that he began over all nations.Ed ei troncherà le funi, che stringevano tutti quanti i popoli, e la tela ordita contro tutte le nazioni.And he shal in this mount throw downe headlong the face of the bond, tied together vpon al peoples, and the webbe that he hath begune vpon al nations.Et præcipitabit in monte isto / faciem vinculi colligati super omnes populos, / et telam quam orditus est super omnes nationes. 8He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.Ei precipiterà la morte per sempre, e il Signore Dio asciugherà da tutti gli occhi le lagrime, e l'obbrobrio del popol suo torrà da tutta quanta la terra: perocché il Signore ha parlato.He shal cast death downe headlong for euer: and our Lord God shal take away teare from al face, and the reproch of his people he shal take away out of the whole earth: because our Lord hath spoken it.Præcipitabit mortem in sempiternum; / et auferet Dominus Deus / lacrimam ab omni facie, / et opprobrium populi sui auferet / de universa terra: / quia Dominus locutus est. 9And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyful in his salvation.Ed egli dirà in quel giorno: Ecco, questi è il nostro Dio; lo abbiamo aspettato, ed ei ci salverà: abbiam pazientato, ed esulteremo, e goderemo della salute, che vien da lui.And he shal say in that day: Loe this is our God, we haue expected him, and he wil saue vs: this is our Lord, we haue patiently wayted for him, we shal reioyce and be ioyful in his saluation.Et dicet in die illa: / Ecce Deus noster iste; / exspectavimus eum, et salvabit nos; / iste Dominus, sustinuimus eum: / exsultabimus, et lætabimur in salutari ejus.

10For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain: and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is broken in pieces with the wain.Imperocché la mano del Signore poserà sopra di questo monte: e sotto di lui sarà stritolato Moab, come è tritata la paglia sotto d'un carro.Because the hand of our Lord shal rest in this mount: and Moab shal be treshed vnder him, as straw is broken with the wayne.Quia requiescet manus Domini / in monte isto; / et triturabitur Moab sub eo, / sicuti teruntur paleæ in plaustro. 11And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.E stenderà le sue braccia sotto di lui, come uno le stende per nuotare. Ma il Signore umilierà il fasto di lui coll'infrangere le sue braccia.And he shal stretch forth his handes vnder him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth to swimme: and he shal humble his glorie with dashing of his handes.Et extendet manus suas sub eo / sicut extendit natans ad natandum; / et humiliabit gloriam ejus / cum allisione manuum ejus. 12And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground, even to the dust.E le difese delle tue alte mura caderanno, e saranno abbattute, e gettate a terra, e ridotte in polvere.And the munitions of thy high walles shal fal, and be humbled, & shal be plucked downe to the grownd euen to the dust.Et munimenta sublimium murorum tuorum / concident, et humiliabuntur, / et detrahentur in terram usque ad pulverem.
