Isaiah 21

KJV

1  The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the desert⁴⁰⁵⁷ of the sea.³²²⁰ As whirlwinds⁵⁴⁹² in the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ pass through;²⁴⁹⁸ so it cometh⁹³⁵ from the desert,^{4480 4057} from a terrible³³⁷² land.^{4480 776}

2  A grievous⁷¹⁸⁶ vision²³⁸⁰ is declared⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto me; the treacherous dealer⁸⁹⁸ dealeth treacherously,⁸⁹⁸ and the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ spoileth.⁷⁷⁰³ Go up,⁵⁹²⁷ O Elam:⁵⁸⁶⁷ besiege,⁶⁶⁹⁶ O Media;⁴⁰⁷⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ the sighing⁵⁸⁵ thereof have I made to cease.⁷⁶⁷³

3  Therefore^{5921 3651} are my loins⁴⁹⁷⁵ filled⁴³⁹⁰ with pain:²⁴⁷⁹ pangs⁶⁷³⁵ have taken hold²⁷⁰ upon me, as the pangs⁶⁷³⁵ of a woman that travaileth:³²⁰⁵ I was bowed down⁵⁷⁵³ at the hearing^{4480 8085} of it; I was dismayed⁹²⁶ at the seeing^{4480 7200} of it.

4  My heart³⁸²⁴ panted,⁸⁵⁸² fearfulness⁶⁴²⁷ frightened^{1204 853} me: the night⁵³⁹⁹ of my pleasure²⁸³⁷ hath he turned⁷⁷⁶⁰ into fear²⁷³¹ unto me.

5  Prepare⁶¹⁸⁶ the table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ watch⁶⁸²² in the watchtower,⁶⁸⁴⁴ eat,³⁹⁸ drink:⁸³⁵⁴ arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ ye princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and anoint⁴⁸⁸⁶ the shield.⁴⁰⁴³

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the Lord¹³⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ set⁵⁹⁷⁵ a watchman,⁶⁸²² let him declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ what⁸³⁴ he seeth.⁷²⁰⁰

7  And he saw⁷²⁰⁰ a chariot⁷³⁹³ with a couple⁶⁷⁷⁶ of horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ a chariot⁷³⁹³ of asses,²⁵⁴³ and a chariot⁷³⁹³ of camels;¹⁵⁸¹ and he hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ diligently⁷¹⁸² with much⁷²²⁷ heed:⁷¹⁸²

8  And he cried,⁷¹²¹ A lion:⁷³⁸ My lord,¹¹³ I⁵⁹⁵ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the watchtower⁴⁷⁰⁷ in the daytime,³¹¹⁹ and I⁵⁹⁵ am set⁵³²⁴ in⁵⁹²¹ my ward⁴⁹³¹ whole³⁶⁰⁵ nights:³⁹¹⁵

9  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ here²⁰⁸⁸ cometh⁹³⁵ a chariot⁷³⁹³ of men,³⁷⁶ with a couple⁶⁷⁷⁶ of horsemen.⁶⁵⁷¹ And he answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Babylon⁸⁹⁴ is fallen,⁵³⁰⁷ is fallen;⁵³⁰⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the graven images⁶⁴⁵⁶ of her gods⁴³⁰ he hath broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ unto the ground.⁷⁷⁶

10  O my threshing,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and the corn¹¹²¹ of my floor:¹⁶³⁷ that which⁸³⁴ I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of^{4480 854} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ have I declared⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto you.

11  The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of Dumah.¹⁷⁴⁶ He calleth⁷¹²¹ to⁴¹³ me out of Seir,^{4480 8165} Watchman,⁸¹⁰⁴ what⁴¹⁰⁰ of the night?^{4480 3915} Watchman,⁸¹⁰⁴ what⁴¹⁰⁰ of the night?^{4480 3915}

12  The watchman⁸¹⁰⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ The morning¹²⁴² cometh,⁸⁵⁷ and also¹⁵⁷¹ the night:³⁹¹⁵ if⁵¹⁸ ye will inquire,¹¹⁵⁸ inquire¹¹⁵⁸ ye: return,⁷⁷²⁵ come.⁸⁵⁷

13  The burden⁴⁸⁵³ upon Arabia.⁶¹⁵² In the forest³²⁹³ in Arabia⁶¹⁵² shall ye lodge,³⁸⁸⁵ O ye traveling companies⁷³⁶ of Dedanim.¹⁷²⁰

14  The inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Tema⁸⁴⁸⁵ brought⁸⁵⁷ water⁴³²⁵ to him that was thirsty,⁶⁷⁷¹ they prevented⁶⁹²³ with their bread³⁸⁹⁹ him that fled.⁵⁰⁷⁴

15  For³⁵⁸⁸ they fled⁵⁰⁷⁴ from^{4480 6440} the swords,²⁷¹⁹ from^{4480 6440} the drawn⁵²⁰³ sword,²⁷¹⁹ and from^{4480 6440} the bent¹⁸⁶⁹ bow,⁷¹⁹⁸ and from^{4480 6440} the grievousness³⁵¹⁴ of war.⁴⁴²¹

16  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the Lord¹³⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Within⁵⁷⁵⁰ a year,⁸¹⁴¹ according to the years⁸¹⁴¹ of a hireling,⁷⁹¹⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of Kedar⁶⁹³⁸ shall fail:³⁶¹⁵

17  And the residue⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of archers,⁷¹⁹⁸ the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Kedar,⁶⁹³⁸ shall be diminished:⁴⁵⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it.

1 τὸ ὅραμα τῆς ἐρήμου ὡς καταιγὶς δι᾽ ἐρήμου διέλθοι ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς φοβερὸν

2 τὸ ὅραμα καὶ σκληρὸν ἀνηγγέλη μοι ὁ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ ὁ ἀνομῶν ἀνομεῖ ἐπ᾽ ἐμοὶ οἱ Αιλαμῖται καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις τῶν Περσῶν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἔρχονται νῦν στενάξω καὶ παρακαλέσω ἐμαυτόν

3 διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ ὀσφύς μου ἐκλύσεως καὶ ὠδῖνες ἔλαβόν με ὡς τὴν τίκτουσαν ἠδίκησα τὸ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι ἐσπούδασα τὸ μὴ βλέπειν

4 ἡ καρδία μου πλανᾶται καὶ ἡ ἀνομία με βαπτίζει ἡ ψυχή μου ἐφέστηκεν εἰς φόβον

5 ἑτοίμασον τὴν τράπεζαν πίετε φάγετε ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἑτοιμάσατε θυρεούς

6 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος πρός με βαδίσας σεαυτῷ στῆσον σκοπὸν καὶ ὃ ἂν ἴδῃς ἀνάγγειλον

7 καὶ εἶδον ἀναβάτας ἱππεῖς δύο ἀναβάτην ὄνου καὶ ἀναβάτην καμήλου ἀκρόασαι ἀκρόασιν πολλὴν

8 καὶ κάλεσον Ουριαν εἰς τὴν σκοπιὰν κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ἔστην διὰ παντὸς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἔστην ὅλην τὴν νύκτα

9 καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται ἀναβάτης συνωρίδος καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν πέπτωκεν Βαβυλών καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγάλματα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῆς συνετρίβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν

10 ἀκούσατε οἱ καταλελειμμένοι καὶ οἱ ὀδυνώμενοι ἀκούσατε ἃ ἤκουσα παρὰ κυρίου σαβαωθ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ισραηλ ἀνήγγειλεν ἡμῖν

11 τὸ ὅραμα τῆς Ιδουμαίας πρὸς ἐμὲ καλεῖ παρὰ τοῦ Σηιρ φυλάσσετε ἐπάλξεις

12 φυλάσσω τὸ πρωὶ καὶ τὴν νύκτα ἐὰν ζητῇς ζήτει καὶ παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ οἴκει

13 ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ ἑσπέρας κοιμηθήσῃ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Δαιδαν

14 εἰς συνάντησιν διψῶντι ὕδωρ φέρετε οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν χώρᾳ Θαιμαν ἄρτοις συναντᾶτε τοῖς φεύγουσιν

15 διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν φευγόντων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πλανωμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς μαχαίρας καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν διατεταμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεπτωκότων ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ

16 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπέν μοι κύριος ἔτι ἐνιαυτὸς ὡς ἐνιαυτὸς μισθωτοῦ ἐκλείψει ἡ δόξα τῶν υἱῶν Κηδαρ

17 καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν ἰσχυρῶν υἱῶν Κηδαρ ἔσται ὀλίγον διότι κύριος ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ

1 Onus deserti maris. [Sicut turbines ab africo veniunt,
de deserto venit,
de terra horribili.

2 Visio dura nuntiata est mihi:
qui incredulus est infideliter agit;
et qui depopulator est vastat.
Ascende, Ælam; obside, Mede;
omnem gemitum ejus cessare feci.

3 Propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei dolore;
angustia possedit me
sicut angustia parturientis;
corrui cum audirem, conturbatus sum cum viderem.

4 Emarcuit cor meum;
tenebræ stupefecerunt me:
Babylon dilecta mea
posita est mihi in miraculum.

5 Pone mensam, contemplare in specula
comedentes et bibentes:
surgite, principes,
arripite clypeum.

6 Hæc enim dixit mihi Dominus:
Vade, et pone speculatorem,
et quodcumque viderit annuntiet.

7 Et vidit currum duorum equitum,
ascensorem asini,
et ascensorem cameli;
et contemplatus est diligenter multo intuitu.

8 Et clamavit leo:
Super speculam Domini ego sum,
stans jugiter per diem;
et super custodiam meam ego sum,
stans totis noctibus.

9 Ecce iste venit ascensor
vir bigæ equitum;
et respondit, et dixit:
Cecidit, cecidit Babylon,
et omnia sculptilia deorum ejus
contrita sunt in terram.

10 Tritura mea et filii areæ meæ,
quæ audivi a Domino exercituum,
Deo Israël,
annuntiavi vobis.]

11 Onus Duma. [Ad me clamat ex Seir:
Custos, quid de nocte?
custos, quid de nocte?

12 Dixit custos:
Venit mane et nox;
si quæritis, quærite;
convertimini, venite.]

13 Onus in Arabia. [In saltu ad vesperam dormietis,
in semitis Dedanim.

14 Occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam,
qui habitatis terram austri;
cum panibus occurrite fugienti.

15 A facie enim gladiorum fugerunt,
a facie gladii imminentis,
a facie arcus extenti,
a facie gravis prælii.

16 Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus ad me:
Adhuc in uno anno, quasi in anno mercenarii,
et auferetur omnis gloria Cedar.

17 Et reliquiæ numeri sagittariorum fortium
de filiis Cedar imminuentur;
Dominus enim Deus Israël locutus est.]
