Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes. | Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumaeae usque ad cinerem. |
| 2 | And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet: | Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit aedes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubae. |
| 3 | And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord. | Et disperdam iudicem de medio eius, et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus. |
| 4 | Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked. | Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Iuda, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod abiecerit legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierit: deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quae abierant patres eorum. |
| 5 | And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem. | Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit aedes Ierusalem. |
| 6 | Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes. | Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israël, et super quatuor non convertam eum, pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento iustum, et pauperem pro calceamentis. |
| 7 | They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name. | Qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant: et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum. |
| 8 | And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God. | Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare, et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui. |
| 9 | Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath. | Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhaeum a facie eorum, cuius altitudo, cedrorum altitudo eius, et fortis ipse quasi quercus; et contrivi fructum eius desuper, et radices eius subter. |
| 10 | It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite. | Ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis, ut possideretis terram Amorrhaei. |
| 11 | And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord? | Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaraeos. Numquid non ita est, filii Israël? dicit Dominus. |
| 12 | And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not. | Et propinabitis nazaraeis vinum, et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis. |
| 13 | Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay. | Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum foeno. |
| 14 | And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life. | Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam: |
| 15 | And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life. | et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam: |
| 16 | And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord. | et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus. |
