50:2  Declare ye among the nations, and publish it, lift up a standard: proclaim, and conceal it not: say: Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is overthrown, their graven things are confounded, their idols are overthrown.

50:2  Annuntiate in gentibus, et auditum facite : levate signum, prædicate, et nolite celare : dicite : Capta est Babylon, confusus est Bel, victus est Merodach, confusa sunt sculptilia ejus, superata sunt idola eorum.

50:2  Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

50:3  For a nation is come up against her out of the north, which shall make her land desolate: and there shall be none to dwell therein, from man even to beast: yea they are removed, and gone away.

50:6  My people have been a lost flock, their shepherds have caused them to go astray, and have made them wander in the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

50:6  Grex perditus factus est populus meus : pastores eorum seduxerunt eos, feceruntque vagari in montibus : de monte in collem transierunt ; obliti sunt cubilis sui.

50:6  My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

50:7  All that found them, have devoured them: and their enemies said: We have not sinned in so doing: because they have sinned against the Lord the beauty of justice, and against the Lord the hope of their fathers.

50:7  Omnes qui invenerunt comederunt eos, et hostes eorum dixerunt : Non peccavimus : pro eo quod peccaverunt Domino decori justitiæ, et exspectationi patrum eorum Domino.

50:7  All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

50:8  Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans: and be ye as kids at the head of the flock.

50:9  For behold I raise up, and will bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north: and they shall be prepared against her, and from thence she shall be taken: their arrows, like those of a mighty man, a destroyer, shall not return in vain.

50:9  Quoniam ecce ego suscito, et adducam in Babylonem congregationem gentium magnarum de terra aquilonis, et præparabuntur adversus eam, et inde capietur : sagitta ejus quasi viri fortis interfectoris : non revertetur vacua.

50:9  For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

50:10  And Chaldea shall be made a prey: all that waste her shall be filled, saith the Lord.

50:10  And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.

50:11  Because you rejoice, and speak great things, pillaging my inheritance: because you are spread abroad as calves upon the grass, and have bellowed as bulls.

50:11  Quoniam exsultatis, et magna loquimini, diripientes hæreditatem meam : quoniam effusi estis sicut vituli super herbam, et mugistis sicut tauri :

50:11  Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

50:12  Your mother is confounded exceedingly, and she that bore you is made even with the dust: behold she shall be the last among the nations, a wilderness unpassable, and dry.

50:29  Declare to many against Babylon, to all that bend the bow: stand together against her round about, and let none escape; pay her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do ye to her: for she hath lifted up herself against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

50:29  Annuntiate in Babylonem plurimis, omnibus qui tendunt arcum : consistite adversus eam per gyrum, et nullus evadat : reddite ei secundum opus suum : juxta omnia quæ fecit, facite illi, quia contra Dominum erecta est, adversum Sanctum Israël.

50:29  Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

50:33  Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

50:35  A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

50:36  A sword upon her diviners, and they shall be foolish: a sword upon her valiant ones, and they shall be dismayed.

50:36  Gladius ad divinos ejus, qui stulti erunt : gladius ad fortes illius, qui timebunt.

50:36  A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

50:37  A sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the people that are in the midst of her: and they shall become as women: a sword upon her treasures, and they shall be made a spoil.

50:37  Gladius ad equos ejus, et ad currus ejus, et ad omne vulgus quod est in medio ejus : et erunt quasi mulieres : gladius ad thesauros ejus, qui diripientur.

50:37  A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

50:38  A drought upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: because it is a land of idols, and they glory in monstrous things.

50:38  Siccitas super aquas ejus erit, et arescent, quia terra sculptilium est, et in portentis gloriantur.

50:38  A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

50:39  Therefore shall dragons dwell there with the fig fauns: and ostriches shall dwell therein, and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be built up from generation to generation.

50:39  Propterea habitabunt dracones cum faunis ficariis, et habitabunt in ea struthiones : et non inhabitabitur ultra usque in sempiternum, nec exstruetur usque ad generationem et generationem.

50:39  Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

50:40  As the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and their neighbour cities, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the son of man inhabit it.

50:40  Sicut subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham, et vicinas ejus, ait Dominus, non habitabit ibi vir, et non incolet eam filius hominis.

50:40  As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

50:41  Behold a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall rise from the ends of the earth.

50:41  Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

50:42  They shall take the bow and the shield: they are cruel and unmerciful: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses: like a man prepared for battle against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

50:42  Arcum et scutum apprehendent : crudeles sunt, et immisericordes : vox eorum quasi mare sonabit, et super equos ascendent, sicut vir paratus ad prælium contra te, filia Babylon.

50:42  They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

50:43  The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, pangs as a woman in labour.

50:43  Audivit rex Babylonis famam eorum, et dissolutæ sunt manus ejus : angustia apprehendit eum, dolor quasi parturientem.

50:43  The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

50:44  Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall bear up against me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?

50:44  Ecce quasi leo ascendet, de superbia Jordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam, quia subito currere faciam eum ad illam. Et quis erit electus, quem præponam ei ? quis est enim similis mei ? et quis sustinebit me ? et quis est iste pastor, qui resistat vultui meo ?

50:44  Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

50:45  Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken against Babylon: and his thoughts which he hath thought against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the little ones of the flocks shall pull them down, of a truth their habitation shall be destroyed with them.

50:45  Propterea audite consilium Domini quod mente concepit adversum Babylonem, et cogitationes ejus quas cogitavit super terram Chaldæorum : nisi detraxerint eos parvuli gregum, nisi dissipatum fuerit cum ipsis habitaculum eorum.

50:45  Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

50:46  At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard amongst the nations.

50:46  A voce captivitatis Babylonis commota est terra, et clamor inter gentes auditus est.

50:46  At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
