Comparison
Hosea 4
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land. | Audite verbum Domini, filii Israël, quia iudicium Domino cum habitatoribus terrae: non est enim veritas, et non est misericordia, et non est scientia Dei in terra. |
| 2 | Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood. | Maledictum, et mendacium, et homicidium, et furtum, et adulterium inundaverunt, et sanguis sanguinem tetigit. |
| 3 | Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. | Propter hoc lugebit terra, et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea, in bestia agri, et in volucre caeli; sed et pisces maris congregabuntur. |
| 4 | But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest. | Verumtamen unusquisque non iudicet, et non arguatur vir: populus enim tuus sicut hi qui contradicunt sacerdoti. |
| 5 | And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent. | Et corrues hodie, et corruet etiam propheta tecum. Nocte tacere feci matrem tuam. |
| 6 | My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. | Conticuit populus meus, eo quod non habuerit scientiam: quia tu scientiam repulisti, repellam te, ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi; et oblita es legis Dei tui, obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego. |
| 7 | According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. | Secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi: gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo. |
| 8 | They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity. | Peccata populi mei comedent, et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum. |
| 9 | And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices. | Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos; et visitabo super eum vias eius, et cogitationes eius reddam ei. |
| 10 | And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law. | Et comedent, et non saturabuntur; fornicati sunt, et non cessaverunt: quoniam Dominum dereliquerunt in non custodiendo. |
| 11 | Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding. | Fornicatio, et vinum, et ebrietas auferunt cor. |
| 12 | My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God. | Populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit, et baculus eius annuntiavit ei; spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos, et fornicati sunt a Deo suo. |
| 13 | They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses. | Super capita montium sacrificabant, et super colles ascendebant thymiama; subtus quercum, et populum, et terebinthum, quia bona erat umbra eius; ideo fornicabuntur filiae vestrae, et sponsae vestrae adulterae erunt. |
| 14 | I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten. | Non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatae, et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint, quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus conversabantur, et cum effeminatis sacrificabant; et populus non intelligens vapulabit. |
| 15 | If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth. | Si fornicaris tu, Israël, non delinquat saltem Iuda; et nolite ingredi in Galgala, et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven, neque iuraveritis: Vivit Dominus! |
| 16 | For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place. | Quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israël; nunc pascet eos Dominus, quasi agnum in latitudine. |
| 17 | Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone. | Particeps idolorum Ephraim: dimitte eum. |
| 18 | Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them. | Separatum est convivium eorum; fornicatione fornicati sunt: dilexerunt afferre ignominiam protectores eius. |
| 19 | The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices. | Ligavit eum spiritus in alis suis, et confundentur a sacrificiis suis. |
