Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw. | Onus Babylonis, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos. |
| 2 | Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates. | Super montem caliginosum levate signum: exaltate vocem, levate manum, et ingrediantur portas duces. |
| 3 | I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory. | Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis, et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea, exsultantes in gloria mea. |
| 4 | The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war. | Vox multitudinis in montibus, quasi populorum frequentium; vox sonitus regum, gentium congregatarum. Dominus exercituum praecepit militiae belli, |
| 5 | To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land. | venientibus de terra procul, a summitate caeli; Dominus, et vasa furoris eius, ut disperdat omnem terram. |
| 6 | Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord. | Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini; quasi vastitas a Domino veniet. |
| 7 | Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt, | Propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis contabescet, |
| 8 | And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt. | et conteretur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt; quasi parturiens dolebunt: unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit, facies combustae vultus eorum. |
| 9 | Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. | Ecce dies Domini veniet, crudelis, et indignationis plenus, et irae, furorisque, ad ponendam terram in solitudinem, et peccatores eius conterendos de ea. |
| 10 | For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light. | Quoniam stellae caeli, et splendor earum, non expandent lumen suum; obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo, et luna non splendebit in lumine suo. |
| 11 | And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty. | Et visitabo super orbis mala, et contra impios iniquitatem eorum; et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium, et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo. |
| 12 | A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold. | Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obrizo. |
| 13 | For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath. | Super hoc caelum turbabo; et movebitur terra de loco suo, propter indignationem Domini exercituum, et propter diem irae furoris eius. |
| 14 | And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land. | Et erit quasi damula fugiens, et quasi ovis, et non erit qui congreget. Unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient. |
| 15 | Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword. | Omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur, et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio; |
| 16 | Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished. | infantes eorum allidentur in oculis eorum, diripientur domus eorum, et uxores eorum violabuntur. |
| 17 | Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold: | Ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos, qui argentum non quaerant, nec aurum velint; |
| 18 | But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons. | sed sagittis parvulos interficient, et lactantibus uteris non miserebuntur, et super filios non parcet oculus eorum. |
| 19 | And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha. | Et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis, inclyta superbia Chaldaeorum, sicut subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham. |
| 20 | It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there. | Non habitabitur usque in finem, et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem; nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs, nec pastores requiescent ibi. |
| 21 | But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there: | Sed requiescent ibi bestiae, et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus, et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi; |
| 22 | And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure. | et respondebunt ibi ululae in aedibus eius, et sirenes in delubris voluptatis. |
