KJV ¹ Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

VULC ¹ Et dixit Dominus ad me : Sume tibi librum grandem, et scribe in eo stylo hominis : Velociter spolia detrahe, cito prædare.

KJV ² And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

VULC ² Et adhibui mihi testes fideles, Uriam sacerdotem, et Zachariam, filium Barachiæ :

KJV ³ And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

VULC ³ et accessi ad prophetissam, et concepit, et peperit filium. Et dixit Dominus ad me : Voca nomen ejus : Accelera spolia detrahere ; Festina prædari :

KJV ⁴ For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

VULC ⁴ quia antequam sciat puer vocare patrem suum et matrem suam, auferetur fortitudo Damasci, et spolia Samariæ, coram rege Assyriorum.

KJV ⁵ The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

VULC ⁵ Et adjecit Dominus loqui ad me adhuc, dicens :

KJV ⁶ Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

VULC ⁶ [Pro eo quod abjecit populus iste
aquas Siloë, quæ vadunt cum silentio,
et assumpsit magis Rasin,
et filium Romeliæ :

KJV ⁷ Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

VULC ⁷ propter hoc ecce Dominus adducet super eos
aquas fluminis fortes et multas,
regem Assyriorum, et omnem gloriam ejus,
et ascendet super omnes rivos ejus,
et fluet super universas ripas ejus ;

KJV ⁸ And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

VULC ⁸ et ibit per Judam, inundans, et transiens :
usque ad collum veniet.
Et erit extensio alarum ejus
implens latitudinem terræ tuæ, o Emmanuel !

KJV ⁹ Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

VULC ⁹ Congregamini, populi, et vincimini ;
et audite, universæ procul terræ :
confortamini, et vincimini ;
accingite vos, et vincimini.

KJV ¹⁰ Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

VULC ¹⁰ Inite consilium, et dissipabitur ;
loquimini verbum, et non fiet :
quia nobiscum Deus.

KJV ¹¹ For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

VULC ¹¹ Hæc enim ait Dominus ad me : Sicut in manu forti erudivit me,
ne irem in via populi hujus, dicens :

KJV ¹² Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

VULC ¹² Non dicatis : Conjuratio ;
omnia enim quæ loquitur populus iste, conjuratio est :
et timorem ejus ne timeatis, neque paveatis.

KJV ¹³ Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

VULC ¹³ Dominum exercituum ipsum sanctificate ;
ipse pavor vester, et ipse terror vester :

KJV ¹⁴ And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

VULC ¹⁴ et erit vobis in sanctificationem ;
in lapidem autem offensionis, et in petram scandali,
duabus domibus Israël ;
in laqueum et in ruinam habitantibus Jerusalem.

KJV ¹⁵ And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

VULC ¹⁵ Et offendent ex eis plurimi,
et cadent, et conterentur,
et irretientur, et capientur.

KJV ¹⁶ Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

VULC ¹⁶ Liga testimonium,
signa legem in discipulis meis.

KJV ¹⁷ And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

VULC ¹⁷ Et exspectabo Dominum qui abscondit faciem suam
a domo Jacob, et præstolabor eum.

KJV ¹⁸ Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

VULC ¹⁸ Ecce ego et pueri mei quos dedit mihi Dominus
in signum, et in portentum Israël
a Domino exercituum,
qui habitat in monte Sion :

KJV ¹⁹ And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

VULC ¹⁹ et cum dixerint ad vos :
Quærite a pythonibus
et a divinis qui strident in incantationibus suis :
numquid non populus a Deo suo requiret,
pro vivis a mortuis ?

KJV ²⁰ To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

VULC ²⁰ ad legem magis et ad testimonium.
Quod si non dixerint juxta verbum hoc,
non erit eis matutina lux.

KJV ²¹ And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

VULC ²¹ Et transibit per eam, corruet, et esuriet ;
et cum esurierit, irascetur.
Et maledicet regi suo, et Deo suo,
et suspiciet sursum,

KJV ²² And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

VULC ²² et ad terram intuebitur ;
et ecce tribulatio et tenebræ,
dissolutio et angustia,
et caligo persequens,
et non poterit avolare de angustia sua.]
