| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES. | Oratio Habacuc prophetae, pro ignorantiis. |
| 2 | O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy. | Domine, audivi auditionem tuam, et timui. Domine, opus tuum, in medio annorum vivifica illud; in medio annorum notum facies: cum iratus fueris, misericordiae recordaberis. |
| 3 | God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise. | Deus ab austro veniet, et Sanctus de monte Pharan: operuit caelos gloria eius, et laudis eius plena est terra. |
| 4 | His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid: | Splendor eius ut lux erit, cornua in manibus eius: ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius. |
| 5 | Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet. | Ante faciem eius ibit mors, et egredietur diabolus ante pedes eius. |
| 6 | He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity. | Stetit, et mensus est terram; aspexit, et dissolvit gentes, et contriti sunt montes saeculi: incurvati sunt colles mundi ab itineribus aeternitatis eius. |
| 7 | I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled. | Pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Aethiopiae; turbabuntur pelles terrae Madian. |
| 8 | Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation. | Numquid in fluminibus iratus es, Domine? aut in fluminibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignatio tua? Qui ascendes super equos tuos, et quadrigae tuae salvatio. |
| 9 | Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth. | Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum, iuramenta tribubus quae locutus es; fluvios scindes terrae. |
| 10 | The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands. | Viderunt te, et doluerunt montes; gurges aquarum transiit: dedit abyssus vocem suam; altitudo manus suas levavit. |
| 11 | The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear. | Sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo: in luce sagittarum tuarum ibunt, in splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae. |
| 12 | In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations. | In fremitu conculcabis terram; in furore obstupefacies gentes. |
| 13 | Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck. | Egressus es in salutem populi tui, in salutem cum christo tuo: percussisti caput de domo impii, denudasti fundamentum eius usque ad collum. |
| 14 | Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret. | Maledixisti sceptris eius, capiti bellatorum eius, venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me: exsultatio eorum, sicut eius qui devorat pauperem in abscondito. |
| 15 | Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters. | Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum. |
| 16 | I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded. | Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus; a voce contremuerunt labia mea. Ingrediatur putredo in ossibus meis, et subter me scateat: ut requiescam in die tribulationis, ut ascendam ad populum accinctum nostrum. |
| 17 | For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls. | Ficus enim non florebit, et non erit germen in vineis; mentietur opus olivae, et arva non afferent cibum: abscindetur de ovili pecus, et non erit armentum in praesepibus. |
| 18 | But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus. | Ego autem in Domino gaudebo; et exsultabo in Deo Iesu meo. |
| 19 | The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms. | Deus Dominus fortitudo mea, et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum: et super excelsa mea deducet me victor in psalmis canentem. |
