Comparison
Isaiah 57
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil. | Iustus perit, et non est qui recogitet in corde suo; et viri misericordiae colliguntur, quia non est qui intelligat: a facie enim malitiae collectus est iustus. |
| 2 | Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness. | Veniat pax; requiescat in cubili suo qui ambulavit in directione sua. |
| 3 | But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot. | Vos autem accedite huc, filii auguratricis, semen adulteri et fornicariae. |
| 4 | Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed, | Super quem lusistis? super quem dilatastis os, et eiecistis linguam? Numquid non vos filii scelesti, semen mendax, |
| 5 | Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks? | qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum, immolantes parvulos in torrentibus, subter eminentes petras? |
| 6 | In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things? | In partibus torrentis pars tua; haec est sors tua: et ipsis effudisti libamen, obtulisti sacrificium. Numquid super his non indignabor? |
| 7 | Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims. | Super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum, et illuc ascendisti ut immolares hostias. |
| 8 | And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand. | Et post ostium, et retro postem, posuisti memoriale tuum. Quia iuxta me discooperuisti, et suscepisti adulterum, dilatasti cubile tuum, et pepigisti cum eis foedus; dilexisti stratum eorum manu aperta. |
| 9 | And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. | Et ornasti te regi unguento, et multiplicasti pigmenta tua. Misisti legatos tuos procul, et humiliata es usque ad inferos. |
| 10 | Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked. | In multitudine viae tuae laborasti; non dixisti: Quiescam. Vitam manus tuae invenisti; propterea non rogasti. |
| 11 | For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me. | Pro quo sollicita timuisti, quia mentita es, et mei non es recordata, neque cogitasti in corde tuo? Quia ego tacens et quasi non videns, et mei oblita es. |
| 12 | I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee. | Ego annuntiabo iustitiam tuam, et opera tua non proderunt tibi. |
| 13 | When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount. | Cum clamaveris, liberent te congregati tui, et omnes eos auferet ventus, tollet aura. Qui autem fiduciam habet mei, haereditabit terram, et possidebit montem sanctum meum. |
| 14 | And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people. | Et dicam: Viam facite, praebete iter; declinate de semita, auferte offendicula de via populi mei. |
| 15 | For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. | Quia haec dicit Excelsus, et Sublimis, habitans aeternitatem, et sanctum nomen eius: in excelso et in sancto habitans, et cum contrito et humili spiritu: ut vivificet spiritum humilium, et vivificet cor contritorum. |
| 16 | For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make. | Non enim in sempiternum litigabo, neque usque ad finem irascar, quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur, et flatus ego faciam. |
| 17 | For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart. | Propter iniquitatem avaritiae eius iratus sum, et percussi eum. Abscondi a te faciem meam, et indignatus sum; et abiit vagus in via cordis sui. |
| 18 | I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him. | Vias eius vidi, et sanavi eum; et reduxi eum, et reddidi consolationes ipsi, et lugentibus eius. |
| 19 | I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him. | Creavi fructum labiorum pacem; pacem ei qui longe est et qui prope, dixit Dominus, et sanavi eum. |
| 20 | But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire. | Impii autem quasi mare fervens, quod quiescere non potest, et redundant fluctus eius in conculcationem et lutum. |
| 21 | There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God. | Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus Deus. |
