Comparison
Isaiah 35
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily. | Laetabitur deserta et invia, et exsultabit solitudo, et florebit quasi lilium. |
| 2 | It shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God. | Germinans germinabit, et exsultabit laetabunda et laudans: gloria Libani data est ei, decor Carmeli et Saron; ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini, et decorem Dei nostri. |
| 3 | Strengthen ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees. | Confortate manus dissolutas, et genua debilia roborate. |
| 4 | Say to the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you. | Dicite pusillanimis: Confortamini, et nolite timere: ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis; Deus ipse veniet, et salvabit vos. |
| 5 | Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. | Tunc aperientur oculi caecorum, et aures surdorum patebunt; |
| 6 | Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness. | tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus, et aperta erit lingua mutorum: quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae, et torrentes in solitudine; |
| 7 | And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwell before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush. | et quae erat arida, erit in stagnum, et sitiens in fontes aquarum. In cubilibus, in quibus prius dracones habitabant, orietur viror calami et iunci. |
| 8 | And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that fools shall not err therein. | Et erit ibi semita et via, et via sancta vocabitur: non transibit per eam pollutus, et haec erit vobis directa via, ita ut stulti non errent per eam. |
| 9 | No lion shall be there, nor shall any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered. | Non erit ibi leo, et mala bestia non ascendet per eam, nec invenietur ibi; et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint. |
| 10 | And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. | Et redempti a Domino convertentur, et venient in Sion cum laude, et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum: gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt, et fugiet dolor et gemitus. |
