Isaiah 64
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | That thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence. | Utinam dirumperes caelos, et descenderes; a facie tua montes defluerent; |
| 2 | They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence. | sicut exustio ignis tabescerent, aquae arderent igni: ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis; a facie tua gentes turbarentur. |
| 3 | When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away. | Cum feceris mirabilia, non sustinebimus; descendisti, et a facie tua montes defluxerunt. |
| 4 | From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee. | A saeculo non audierunt, neque auribus perceperunt; oculus non vidit, Deus, absque te, quae praeparasti exspectantibus te. |
| 5 | Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved. | Occurristi laetanti, et facienti iustitiam; in viis tuis recordabuntur tui. Ecce tu iratus es, et peccavimus; in ipsis fuimus semper, et salvabimur. |
| 6 | And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. | Et facti sumus ut immundus omnes nos, et quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae; et cecidimus quasi folium universi, et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos. |
| 7 | There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity. | Non est qui invocet nomen tuum; qui consurgat, et teneat te. Abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis, et allisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae. |
| 8 | And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands. | Et nunc, Domine, pater noster es tu, nos vero lutum; et fictor noster tu, et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos. |
| 9 | Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people. | Ne irascaris, Domine, satis, et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis nostrae; ecce, respice, populus tuus omnes nos. |
| 10 | The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate. | Civitas Sancti tui facta est deserta, Sion deserta facta est, Ierusalem desolata est. |
| 11 | The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins. | Domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae, ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri, facta est in exustionem ignis, et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas. |
| 12 | Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently? | Numquid super his continebis te, Domine; tacebis, et affliges nos vehementer? |
