Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you. | Agite nunc divites, plorate ululantes in miseriis vestris, quae advenient vobis. |
| 2 | Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten. | Divitiae vestrae putrefactae sunt, et vestimenta vestra a tineis comesta sunt. |
| 3 | Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days. | Aurum et argentum vestrum aeruginavit: et aerugo eorum in testimonium vobis erit, et manducabit carnes vestras sicut ignis. Thesaurizastis vobis iram in novissimis diebus. |
| 4 | Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. | Ecce merces operariorum, qui messuerunt regiones vestras, quae fraudata est a vobis, clamat: et clamor eorum in aures Domini sabbaoth introivit. |
| 5 | You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter. | Epulati estis super terram, et in luxuriis enutristis corda vestra in die occisionis. |
| 6 | You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not. | Addixistis, et occidistis iustum, et non resistit vobis. |
| 7 | Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain. | Patientes igitur estote, fratres, usque ad adventum Domini. Ecce agricola exspectat pretiosum fructum terrae, patienter ferens donec accipiat temporaneum et serotinum. |
| 8 | Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. | Patientes igitur estote et vos, et confirmate corda vestra: quoniam adventus Domini appropinquavit. |
| 9 | Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door. | Nolite ingemiscere, fratres, in alterutrum, ut non iudicemini. Ecce iudex ante ianuam assistit. |
| 10 | Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord. | Exemplum accipite, fratres, exitus mali, laboris, et patientiae, prophetas qui locuti sunt in nomine Domini. |
| 11 | Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate. | Ecce beatificamus eos qui sustinuerunt. Sufferentiam Iob audistis, et finem Domini vidistis, quoniam misericors Dominus est, et miserator. |
| 12 | But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: that you fall not under judgment. | Ante omnia autem, fratres mei, nolite iurare, neque per caelum, neque per terram, neque aliud quodcumque iuramentum. Sit autem sermo vester: Est, est: Non, non: ut non sub iudicio decidatis. |
| 13 | Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing. | Tristatur aliquis vestrum? oret. Aequo animo est? psallat. |
| 14 | Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. | Infirmatur quis in vobis? inducat presbyteros ecclesiae, et orent super eum, ungentes eum oleo in nomine Domini: |
| 15 | And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. | et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum, et alleviabit eum Dominus: et si in peccatis sit, remittentur ei. |
| 16 | Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. | Confitemini ergo alterutrum peccata vestra, et orate pro invicem ut salvemini: multum enim valet deprecatio iusti assidua. |
| 17 | Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months. | Elias homo erat similis nobis passibilis: et oratione oravit ut non plueret super terram, et non pluit annos tres, et menses sex. |
| 18 | And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. | Et rursum oravit: et caelum dedit pluviam, et terra dedit fructum suum. |
| 19 | My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him: | Fratres mei, si quis ex vobis erraverit a veritate, et converterit quis eum: |
| 20 | He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins. | scire debet quoniam qui converti fecerit peccatorem ab errore viae suae, salvabit animam eius a morte, et operiet multitudinem peccatorum. |
