Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly? | Iustus quidem tu es, Domine, si disputem tecum: verumtamen iusta loquar ad te: Quare via impiorum prosperatur; bene est omnibus qui praevaricantur et inique agunt? |
| 2 | Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. | Plantasti eos, et radicem miserunt: proficiunt, et faciunt fructum: prope es tu ori eorum, et longe a renibus eorum. |
| 3 | And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as sheep for a sacrifice, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. | Et tu, Domine, nosti me, vidisti me, et probasti cor meum tecum. Congrega eos quasi gregem ad victimam, et sanctifica eos in die occisionis. |
| 4 | How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end. | Usquequo lugebit terra, et herba omnis regionis siccabitur, propter malitiam habitantium in ea? Consumptum est animal, et volucre, quoniam dixerunt: Non videbit novissima nostra. |
| 5 | If thou hast wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? | Si cum peditibus currens laborasti, quomodo contendere poteris cum equis? cum autem in terra pacis securus fueris, quid facies in superbia Iordanis? |
| 6 | For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee. | Nam et fratres tui, et domus patris tui, etiam ipsi pugnaverunt adversum te, et clamaverunt post te plena voce: ne credas eis, cum locuti fuerint tibi bona. |
| 7 | I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies. | Reliqui domum meam; dimisi haereditatem meam: dedi dilectam animam meam in manu inimicorum eius. |
| 8 | My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it. | Facta est mihi haereditas mea quasi leo in silva: dedit contra me vocem, ideo odivi eam. |
| 9 | Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour. | Numquid avis discolor haereditas mea mihi? numquid avis tincta per totum? Venite, congregamini, omnes bestiae terrae: properate ad devorandum. |
| 10 | Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness. | Pastores multi demoliti sunt vineam meam, conculcaverunt partem meam, dederunt portionem meam desiderabilem in desertum solitudinis. |
| 11 | They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart. | Posuerunt eam in dissipationem, luxitque super me: desolatione desolata est omnis terra, quia nullus est qui recogitet corde. |
| 12 | The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh. | Super omnes vias deserti venerunt vastatores, quia gladius Domini devorabit: ab extremo terrae usque ad extremum eius, non est pax universae carni. |
| 13 | They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord. | Seminaverunt triticum, et spinas messuerunt: haereditatem acceperunt, et non eis proderit. Confundemini a fructibus vestris propter iram furoris Domini. |
| 14 | Thus saith the Lord against all my wicked neighbors, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them. | Haec dicit Dominus adversum omnes vicinos meos pessimos, qui tangunt haereditatem quam distribui populo meo Israël: Ecce ego evellam eos de terra sua, et domum Iuda evellam de medio eorum. |
| 15 | And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and I will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man to his land. | Et cum evulsero eos, convertar, et miserebor eorum, et reducam eos: virum ad haereditatem suam, et virum in terram suam. |
| 16 | And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people. | Et erit: si eruditi didicerint vias populi mei, ut iurent in nomine meo: Vivit Dominus! sicut docuerunt populum meum iurare in Baal, aedificabuntur in medio populi mei. |
| 17 | But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord. | Quod si non audierint, evellam gentem illam evulsione et perditione, ait Dominus. |
