Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying: | Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israël, super omnem cognationem quam eduxi de terra Aegypti, dicens: |
| 2 | You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities. | Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras. |
| 3 | Shall two walk together except they be agreed? | Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis? |
| 4 | Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion’s whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? | numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit praedam? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit? |
| 5 | Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat? | numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit? |
| 6 | Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done? | si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit? |
| 7 | For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. | Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas. |
| 8 | The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy? | Leo rugiet, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit? |
| 9 | Publish it in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the land of Egypt, and say: Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the many follies in the midst thereof, and them that suffer oppression in the inner rooms thereof. | Auditum facite in aedibus Azoti, et in aedibus terrae Aegypti, et dicite: Congregamini super montes Samariae, et videte insanias multas in medio eius, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus eius. |
| 10 | And they have not known to do the right thing, saith the Lord, storing up iniquity, and robberies in their houses. | Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in aedibus suis. |
| 11 | Therefore thus saith the Lord God: The land shall be in tribulation, and shall be compassed about: and thy strength shall be taken away from thee, and thy houses shall be spoiled. | Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tribulabitur et circuietur terra: et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur aedes tuae. |
| 12 | Thus saith the Lord: As if a shepherd should get out of the lion’s mouth two legs, or the tip of the ear: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in a piece of a bed, and in the couch of Damascus. | Haec dicit Dominus: Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculae, sic eruentur filii Israël, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato. |
| 13 | Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God of hosts: | Audite, et contestamini in domo Iacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum; |
| 14 | That in the day when I shall begin to visit the transgressions of Israel, I will visit upon him, and upon the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altars shall be cut off, and shall fall to the ground. | quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israël, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel; et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram. |
| 15 | And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith the Lord. | Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva, et peribunt domus eburneae, et dissipabuntur aedes multae, dicit Dominus. |
