| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them. | Onus Tyri. Ululate, naves maris, quia vastata est domus unde venire consueverant: de terra Cethim revelatum est eis. |
| 2 | Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee. | Tacete, qui habitatis in insula; negotiatores Sidonis, transfretantes mare, repleverunt te. |
| 3 | The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations. | In aquis multis semen Nili; messis fluminis fruges eius: et facta est negotiatio gentium. |
| 4 | Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins. | Erubesce, Sidon; ait enim mare, fortitudo maris, dicens: Non parturivi, et non peperi, et non enutrivi iuvenes, nec ad incrementum perduxi virgines. |
| 5 | When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre: | Cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto, dolebunt cum audierint de Tiro. |
| 6 | Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island. | Transite maria, ululate, qui habitatis in insula! |
| 7 | Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. | Numquid non vestra haec est, quae gloriabatur a diebus pristinis in antiquitate sua? Ducent eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum. |
| 8 | Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth? | Quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam, cuius negotiatores principes, institores eius inclyti terrae? |
| 9 | The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth. | Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc, ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae, et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclytos terrae. |
| 10 | Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more. | Transi terram tuam quasi flumen, filia maris! non est cingulum ultra tibi. |
| 11 | He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof. | Manum suam extendit super mare; conturbavit regna. Dominus mandavit adversus Chanaan, ut contereret fortes eius; |
| 12 | And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest. | et dixit: Non adiicies ultra ut glorieris, calumniam sustinens virgo filia Sidonis: in Cethim consurgens transfreta: ibi quoque non erit requies tibi. |
| 13 | Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin. | Ecce terra Chaldaeorum, talis populus non fuit: Assur fundavit eam; in captivitatem traduxerunt robustos eius, suffoderunt domos eius, posuerunt eam in ruinam. |
| 14 | Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste. | Ululate, naves maris, quia devastata est fortitudo vestra. |
| 15 | And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot. | Et erit in die illa: in oblivione eris, o Tyre! septuaginta annis, sicut dies regis unius; post septuaginta autem annos erit Tyro quasi canticum meretricis: |
| 16 | Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered. | Sume citharam, circui civitatem, meretrix oblivioni tradita: bene cane, frequenta canticum, ut memoria tui sit. |
| 17 | And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. | Et erit post septuaginta annos: visitabit Dominus Tyrum, et reducet eam ad mercedes suas, et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciem terrae; |
| 18 | And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance. | et erunt negotiationes eius et mercedes eius sanctificatae Domino: non condentur neque reponentur, quia his qui habitaverint coram Domino erit negotiatio eius, ut manducent in saturitatem, et vestiantur usque ad vetustatem. |
