| 1 | Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord. | Vae qui descendunt in Aegyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes, et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multae sunt; et super equitibus, quia praevalidi nimis; et non sunt confisi super Sanctum Israël, et Dominum non requisierunt! |
| 2 | But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity. | Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit; et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem. |
| 3 | Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together. | Aegyptus homo, et non deus; et equi eorum caro, et non spiritus; et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui praestatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur. |
| 4 | For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof. | Quia haec dicit Dominus ad me: Quomodo si rugiat leo et catulus leonis super praedam suam; et cum occurrerit ei multitudo pastorum, a voce eorum non formidabit, et a multitudine eorum non pavebit: sic descendet Dominus exercituum ut praelietur super montem Sion et super collem eius. |
| 5 | As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving. | Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Ierusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans. |
| 6 | Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel. | Convertimini, sicut in profundum recesseratis, filii Israël. |
| 7 | For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin. | In die enim illa abiiciet vir idola argenti sui, et idola auri sui, quae fecerunt vobis manus vestrae in peccatum. |
| 8 | And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries. | Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum: et fugiet non a facie gladii, et iuvenes eius vectigales erunt. |
| 9 | And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. | Et fortitudo eius a terrore transibit, et pavebunt fugientes principes eius, dixit Dominus: cuius ignis est in Sion et caminus eius in Ierusalem. |
