| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction. | Confortamini, filii Beniamin, in medio Ierusalem: et in Thecua clangite buccina, et super Bethacarem levate vexillum, quia malum visum est ab aquilone, et contritio magna. |
| 2 | I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman. | Speciosae et delicatae assimilavi filiam Sion. |
| 3 | The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand. | Ad eam venient pastores et greges eorum; fixerunt in ea tentoria in circuitu: pascet unusquisque eos qui sub manu sua sunt. |
| 4 | Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer. | Sanctificate super eam bellum: consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie: vae nobis, quia declinavit dies; quia longiores factae sunt umbrae vesperi! |
| 5 | Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses. | Surgite, et ascendamus in nocte, et dissipemus domus eius. |
| 6 | For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her. | Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Caedite lignum eius, et fundite circa Ierusalem aggerem. Haec est civitas visitationis: omnis calumnia in medio eius. |
| 7 | As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me. | Sicut frigidam fecit cisterna aquam suam, sic frigidam fecit malitiam suam. Iniquitas et vastitas audietur in ea, coram me semper infirmitas et plaga. |
| 8 | Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited. | Erudire, Ierusalem, ne forte recedat anima mea a te; ne forte ponam te desertam, terram inhabitabilem. |
| 9 | Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket. | Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Usque ad racemum colligent quasi in vinea reliquias Israël. Converte manum tuam quasi vindemiator ad cartallum. |
| 10 | To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it. | Cui loquar, et quem contestabor ut audiat? ecce incircumcisae aures eorum, et audire non possunt: ecce verbum Domini factum est eis in opprobrium, et non suscipient illud. |
| 11 | Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days. | Idcirco furore Domini plenus sum; laboravi sustinens. Effunde super parvulum foris, et super consilium iuvenum simul: vir enim cum muliere capietur; senex cum pleno dierum. |
| 12 | And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord. | Et transibunt domus eorum ad alteros, agri et uxores pariter, quia extendam manum meam super habitantes terram, dicit Dominus: |
| 13 | For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit. | a minore quippe usque ad maiorem omnes avaritiae student, et a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt dolum. |
| 14 | And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace. | Et curabant contritionem filiae populi mei cum ignominia, dicentes: Pax, pax! et non erat pax. |
| 15 | They were confounded, because they committed abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord. | Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt: quin potius confusione non sunt confusi, et erubescere nescierunt. Quam ob rem cadent inter ruentes: in tempore visitationis suae corruent, dicit Dominus. |
| 16 | Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk. | Haec dicit Dominus: State super vias, et videte, et interrogate de semitis antiquis quae sit via bona, et ambulate in ea: et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris. Et dixerunt: Non ambulabimus. |
| 17 | And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken. | Et constitui super vos speculatores: Audite vocem tubae. Et dixerunt: Non audiemus. |
| 18 | Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them. | Ideo audite, gentes, et cognosce, congregatio, quanta ego faciam eis. |
| 19 | Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law. | Audi, terra: ecce ego adducam mala super populum istum, fructum cogitationum eius: quia verba mea non audierunt, et legem meam proiecerunt. |
| 20 | To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me. | Ut quid mihi thus de Saba affertis, et calamum suave olentem de terra longinqua? Holocautomata vestra non sunt accepta, et victimae vestrae non placuerunt mihi. |
| 21 | Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish. | Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo in populum istum ruinas: et ruent in eis patres et filii simul; vicinus et proximus peribunt. |
| 22 | Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth. | Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce populus venit de terra aquilonis, et gens magna consurget a finibus terrae. |
| 23 | They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion. | Sagittam et scutum arripiet: crudelis est et non miserebitur. Vox eius quasi mare sonabit: et super equos ascendent, praeparati quasi vir ad praelium adversum te, filia Sion. |
| 24 | We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor. | Audivimus famam eius; dissolutae sunt manus nostrae: tribulatio apprehendit nos, dolores ut parturientem. |
| 25 | Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side. | Nolite exire ad agros, et in via ne ambuletis, quoniam gladius inimici, pavor in circuitu. |
| 26 | Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us. | Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio, et conspergere cinere: luctum unigeniti fac tibi, planctum amarum, quia repente veniet vastator super nos. |
| 27 | I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way. | Probatorem dedi te in populo meo robustum: et scies, et probabis viam eorum. |
| 28 | All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted. | Omnes isti principes declinantes, ambulantes fraudulenter, aes et ferrum: universi corrupti sunt. |
| 29 | The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed. | Defecit sufflatorium; in igne consumptum est plumbum: frustra conflavit conflator, malitiae enim eorum non sunt consumptae. |
| 30 | Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them. | Argentum reprobum vocate eos, quia Dominus proiecit illos. |
