Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed. | Haec dicit Dominus: Custodite iudicium, et facite iustitiam, quia iuxta est salus mea ut veniat, et iustitia mea ut reveletur. |
| 2 | Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil. | Beatus vir qui facit hoc, et filius hominis qui apprehendet istud, custodiens sabbatum ne polluat illud, custodiens manus suas ne faciat omne malum. |
| 3 | And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree. | Et non dicat filius advenae qui adhaeret Domino, dicens: Separatione dividet me Dominus a populo suo; et non dicat eunuchus: Ecce ego lignum aridum. |
| 4 | For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall hold fast my covenant: | Quia haec dicit Dominus eunuchis: Qui custodierint sabbata mea, et elegerint quae ego volui, et tenuerint foedus meum, |
| 5 | I will give to them in my house, and within my walls, a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish. | dabo eis in domo mea et in muris meis locum, et nomen melius a filiis et filiabus: nomen sempiternum dabo eis, quod non peribit. |
| 6 | And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant: | Et filios advenae, qui adhaerent Domino, ut colant eum, et diligant nomen eius, ut sint ei in servos; omnem custodientem sabbatum ne polluat illud, et tenentem foedus meum; |
| 7 | I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations. | adducam eos in montem sanctum meum, et laetificabo eos in domo orationis meae; holocausta eorum et victimae eorum placebunt mihi super altari meo, quia domus mea domus orationis vocabitur cunctis populis. |
| 8 | The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation. | Ait Dominus Deus, qui congregat dispersos Israël: Adhuc congregabo ad eum congregatos eius. |
| 9 | All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest. | Omnes bestiae agri, venite ad devorandum, universae bestiae saltus. |
| 10 | His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams. | Speculatores eius caeci omnes; nescierunt universi: canes muti non valentes latrare, videntes vana, dormientes, et amantes somnia. |
| 11 | And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last. | Et canes imprudentissimi nescierunt saturitatem; ipsi pastores ignoraverunt intelligentiam: omnes in viam suam declinaverunt; unusquisque ad avaritiam suam, a summo usque ad novissimum. |
| 12 | Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more. | Venite, sumamus vinum, et impleamur ebrietate; et erit sicut hodie, sic et cras, et multo amplius. |
