Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord. | Lauda, sterilis, quae non paris; decanta laudem, et hinni, quae non pariebas: quoniam multi filii desertae magis quam eius quae habet virum, dicit Dominus. |
| 2 | Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. | Dilata locum tentorii tui, et pelles tabernaculorum tuorum extende: ne parcas: longos fac funiculos tuos, et clavos tuos consolida. |
| 3 | For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities. | Ad dexteram enim et ad laevam penetrabis, et semen tuum gentes haereditabit, et civitates desertas inhabitabit. |
| 4 | Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood. | Noli timere, quia non confunderis, neque erubesces; non enim te pudebit, quia confusionis adolescentiae tuae oblivisceris, et opprobrii viduitatis tuae non recordaberis amplius. |
| 5 | For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth. | Quia dominabitur tui qui fecit te, Dominus exercituum nomen eius, et redemptor tuus, Sanctus Israël: Deus omnis terrae vocabitur. |
| 6 | For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and as a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God. | Quia et mulierem derelictam et moerentem spiritu vocavit te Dominus, et uxorem ab adolescentia abiectam, dixit Deus tuus. |
| 7 | For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee. | Ad punctum in modico dereliqui te, et in miserationibus magnis congregabo te. |
| 8 | In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer. | In momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te; et in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui, dixit redemptor tuus, Dominus. |
| 9 | This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee. | Sicut in diebus Noë istud mihi est, cui iuravi ne inducerem aquas Noë ultra super terram; sic iuravi ut non irascar tibi, et non increpem te. |
| 10 | For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee. | Montes enim commovebuntur, et colles contremiscent; misericordia autem mea non recedet a te, et foedus pacis meae non movebitur, dixit miserator tuus Dominus. |
| 11 | O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires, | Paupercula, tempestate convulsa absque ulla consolatione, ecce ego sternam per ordinem lapides tuos, et fundabo te in sapphiris: |
| 12 | And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones. | et ponam iaspidem propugnacula tua, et portas tuas in lapides sculptos, et omnes terminos tuos in lapides desiderabiles; |
| 13 | All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children. | universos filios tuos doctos a Domino, et multitudinem pacis filiis tuis. |
| 14 | And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. | Et in iustitia fundaberis: recede procul a calumnia, quia non timebis, et a pavore, quia non appropinquabit tibi. |
| 15 | Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee. | Ecce accola veniet qui non erat mecum, advena quondam tuus adiungetur tibi. |
| 16 | Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy. | Ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas, et proferentem vas in opus suum; et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum. |
| 17 | No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord. | Omne vas quod fictum est contra te, non dirigetur, et omnem linguam resistentem tibi in iudicio, iudicabis. Haec est haereditas servorum Domini, et iustitia eorum apud me, dicit Dominus. |
