| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Phatuel. | Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Ioël, filium Phatuel. |
| 2 | Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land: did this ever happen in your days, or in the days of your fathers? | Audite hoc, senes, et auribus percipite, omnes habitatores terrae: si factum est istud in diebus vestris, aut in diebus patrum vestrorum? |
| 3 | Tell ye of this to your children, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation. | Super hoc filiis vestris narrate, et filii vestri filiis suis, et filii eorum generationi alterae. |
| 4 | That which the palmerworm hath left, the locust hath eaten: and that which the locust hath left, the bruchus hath eaten: and that which the bruchus hath left, the mildew hath destroyed. | Residuum erucae comedit locusta, et residuum locustae comedit bruchus, et residuum bruchi comedit rubigo. |
| 5 | Awake, ye that are drunk, and weep, and mourn all ye that take delight in drinking sweet wine: for it is cut off from your mouth. | Expergiscimini, ebrii, et flete et ululate, omnes qui bibitis vinum in dulcedine, quoniam periit ab ore vestro. |
| 6 | For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number: his teeth are like the teeth of a lion: and his cheek teeth as of a lion’s whelp. | Gens enim ascendit super terram meam, fortis et innumerabilis: dentes eius ut dentes leonis, et molares eius ut catuli leonis. |
| 7 | He hath laid my vineyard waste, and hath pilled off the bark of my fig tree: he hath stripped it bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. | Posuit vineam meam in desertum, et ficum meam decorticavit; nudans spoliavit eam, et proiecit: albi facti sunt rami eius. |
| 8 | Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. | Plange quasi virgo accincta sacco super virum pubertatis suae. |
| 9 | Sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of the Lord: the priests, the Lord’s ministers, have mourned: | Periit sacrificium et libatio de domo Domini; luxerunt sacerdotes, ministri Domini. |
| 10 | The country is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: for the corn is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oil hath languished. | Depopulata est regio, luxit humus, quoniam devastatum est triticum, confusum est vinum, elanguit oleum. |
| 11 | The husbandmen are ashamed, the vinedressers have howled for the wheat, and for the barley, because the harvest of the field is perished. | Confusi sunt agricolae, ululaverunt vinitores super frumento et hordeo, quia periit messis agri. |
| 12 | The vineyard is confounded, and the fig tree hath languished: the pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the apple tree, and all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withdrawn from the children of men. | Vinea confusa est, et ficus elanguit; malogranatum, et palma, et malum, et omnia ligna agri aruerunt, quia confusum est gaudium a filiis hominum. |
| 13 | Gird yourselves, and lament, O ye priests, howl, ye ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God. | Accingite vos, et plangite, sacerdotes: ululate, ministri altaris; ingredimini, cubate in sacco, ministri Dei mei, quoniam interiit de domo Dei vestri sacrificium et libatio. |
| 14 | Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly; gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord: | Sanctificate ieiunium, vocate coetum, congregate senes, omnes habitatores terrae in domum Dei vestri, et clamate ad Dominum: |
| 15 | Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come like destruction from the mighty. | A, a, a, diei! quia prope est dies Domini, et quasi vastitas a potente veniet. |
| 16 | Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? | Numquid non coram oculis vestris alimenta perierunt de domo Dei nostri, laetitia et exsultatio? |
| 17 | The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded. | Computruerunt iumenta in stercore suo, demolita sunt horrea, dissipatae sunt apothecae, quoniam confusum est triticum. |
| 18 | Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished. | Quid ingemuit animal, mugierunt greges armenti? quia non est pascua eis; sed et greges pecorum disperierunt. |
| 19 | To thee, O Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country. | Ad te, Domine, clamabo, quia ignis comedit speciosa deserti, et flamma succendit omnia ligna regionis. |
| 20 | Yea and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness. | Sed et bestiae agri, quasi area sitiens imbrem, suspexerunt ad te, quoniam exsiccati sunt fontes aquarum, et ignis devoravit speciosa deserti. |
