Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests: | Haec dicit Dominus: Vade, et accipe lagunculam figuli testeam a senioribus populi et a senioribus sacerdotum, |
| 2 | And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee. | et egredere ad vallem filii Ennom, quae est iuxta introitum portae fictilis: et praedicabis ibi verba quae ego loquar ad te. |
| 3 | And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle: | Et dices: Audite verbum Domini, reges Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem. Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego inducam afflictionem super locum istum, ita ut omnis qui audierit illam, tinniant aures eius, |
| 4 | Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents. | eo quod dereliquerint me, et alienum fecerint locum istum, et libaverunt in eo diis alienis quos nescierunt, ipsi et patres eorum, et reges Iuda: et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentum, |
| 5 | And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind. | et aedificaverunt excelsa Baalim, ad comburendos filios suos igni in holocaustum Baalim: quae non praecepi, nec locutus sum, nec ascenderunt in cor meum. |
| 6 | Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter. | Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth, et vallis filii Ennom, sed vallis occisionis. |
| 7 | And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth. | Et dissipabo consilium Iuda et Ierusalem in loco isto, et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorum, et in manu quaerentium animas eorum: et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae. |
| 8 | And I will make this city an astonishent, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof. | Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem, et in sibilum: omnis qui praeterierit per eam obstupescet, et sibilabit super universa plaga eius. |
| 9 | And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives shall straiten them. | Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum: et unusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione, et in angustia in qua concludent eos inimici eorum, et qui quaerunt animas eorum. |
| 10 | And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee. | Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum qui ibunt tecum, |
| 11 | And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter’s vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in. | et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sic conteram populum istum, et civitatem istam, sicut conteritur vas figuli, quod non potest ultra instaurari: et in Topheth sepelientur, eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum. |
| 12 | Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth. | Sic faciam loco huic, ait Dominus, et habitatoribus eius, et ponam civitatem istam sicut Topheth. |
| 13 | And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roots they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods. | Et erunt domus Ierusalem, et domus regum Iuda, sicut locus Topheth, immundae, omnes domus in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiae caeli, et libaverunt libamina diis alienis. |
| 14 | Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophecy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all people: | Venit autem Ieremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, et stetit in atrio domus Domini, et dixit ad omnem populum: |
| 15 | Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, and they might not hear my words. | Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc, et super omnes urbes eius, universa mala quae locutus sum adversum eam, quoniam induraverunt cervicem suam ut non audirent sermones meos. |
