31 — Isaia

1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they are many: and in horsemen, because they are very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.Guai a coloro, che vanno a cercar aiuto in Egitto, ponendo la loro speranza ne' cavalli, e affidandosi ai cocchi, che sono molti, e ai cavalieri, che sono fortissimi; e non hanno posta la lor fiducia nel Santo d'Israele, e non son ricorsi al Signore.VVOE to them that goe downe into Aegypt for helpe, hoping in horses, and hauing confidence vpon chariots, because they be manie: and vpon horsemen, because they be very strong: and haue not trusted vpon the holie one of Israel, & haue not sought after our Lord.Væ qui descendunt in Ægyptum ad auxilium, / in equis sperantes, / et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multæ sunt; / et super equitibus, quia prævalidi nimis; / et non sunt confisi super Sanctum Israël, / et Dominum non requisierunt ! 2But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.Ma egli il sapiente ha mandati i disastri, e non ha fatte vane le sue parole: e si leverà su a' danni della casa dei perversi, e a' danni degli aiuti di gente versata nella iniquità.But he that is the wise one hath brought euil, and hath not taken away his wordes: and he wil rise vp against the house of the wicked, & against the ayde of them that worke iniquitie.Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, / et verba sua non abstulit; / et consurget contra domum pessimorum, / et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem. 3Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.l'Egitto è uomo, e non Dio: e i suoi cavalli sono carne, e non ispirito: e il Signore stenderà la sua mano, e l'aiutatore precipiterà, e andrà per terra colui, cui prestavasi aiuto, e tutti insieme saran consunti;Aegypt, a man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirite: and our Lord shal bowe downe his hand, and the helper shal fal, and he that is holpen shal fal, and they shal al be confounded together.Ægyptus homo, et non deus; / et equi eorum caro, et non spiritus; / et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, / et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui præstatur auxilium, / simulque omnes consumentur. 4For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.Imperocché il Signore ha detto a me: Come un lione, od un lioncello rugge sulla sua preda, e benché vada contro di lui una turba dì pastori, non s'impaurisce pe' loro strepiti, né teme il loro numero: così scenderà il Signor degli eserciti a combattere sul monte di Sion, e sopra la sua collina.Because thus sayth our Lord to me: As if a lion should roare, and the lions whelpe vpon his praye, & when a multitude of shepheards shal come against him, he wil not feare at their voice, and of their multitude he wil not be afrayd: so shal the Lord of hostes descend, to fight vpon mount Sion, and vpon the litle hil therof.Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad me: / Quomodo si rugiat leo / et catulus leonis super prædam suam; / et cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, / a voce eorum non formidabit, / et a multitudine eorum non pavebit: / sic descendet Dominus exercituum ut prælietur / super montem Sion et super collem ejus.

5As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.Come un uccello, che svolazza (in torno al suo nido), così il Signore degli eserciti proteggerà Gerusalemme, la proteggerà, e la libererà, e in passando la salverà.As birdes that flie, so wil the Lord of hostes protect Ierusalem, protecting and deliuering, passing and sauing.Sicut aves volantes, / sic proteget Dominus exercituum Jerusalem, / protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans. 6Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.Convertitevi, o figliuoli d'Israele, e quanto fu profondo il vostro allontanamento.Returne as you reuolted deeply ô children of Israel.Convertimini, sicut in profundum recesseratis, / filii Israël. 7For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.Imperocché in quel giorno getterà via ogni uomo i suoi idoli d'oro, e i suoi idoli di argento, i quali per gran peccato vi faceste voi colle vostre mani.For in that day man shal cast away the idols of his siluer, and the idols of his gold, which your handes haue made you into sinne.In die enim illa abjiciet vir / idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, / quæ fecerunt vobis manus vestræ in peccatum. 8And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword, and his young men shall be tributaries.E perirà l'Assiro di spada non di uomo, e la spada non di uomo lo divorerà, e fuggirà non perseguitato dalla spada; e la sua gioventù pagherà tributo:And Assur shal fal by the sword not of man, and the sword not of man shal deuoure him, & he shal flee not at the face of the sword: and his yong men shal be tributaries:Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, / et gladius non hominis vorabit eum: / et fugiet non a facie gladii, / et juvenes ejus vectigales erunt. 9And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose fire is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.E pel terrore verrà meno la sua fortezza, e i principi di lui fuggitivi saran senza coraggio: ha detto il Signore, il quale ha suo fuoco in Sionne, e suo focolare in Gerusalemme.and his strength shal passe away at the terrour, & his princes fleing shal be afrayd: our Lord hath sayd it: whose fyre is in Sion, & his fornace in Ierusalem.Et fortitudo ejus a terrore transibit, / et pavebunt fugientes principes ejus, / dixit Dominus: cujus ignis est in Sion / et caminus ejus in Jerusalem.
