| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand, | Canite tuba in Sion, ululate in monte sancto meo, conturbentur omnes habitatores terrae: quia venit dies Domini, quia prope est. |
| 2 | A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation and generation. | Dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nubis et turbinis; quasi mane expansum super montes populus multus et fortis: similis ei non fuit a principio, et post eum non erit usque in annos generationis et generationis. |
| 3 | Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it. | Ante faciem eius ignis vorans, et post eum exurens flamma. Quasi hortus voluptatis terra coram eo, et post eum solitudo deserti, neque est qui effugiat eum. |
| 4 | The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen. | Quasi aspectus equorum, aspectus eorum; et quasi equites, sic current. |
| 5 | They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as a strong people prepared to battle. | Sicut sonitus quadrigarum super capita montium exilient, sicut sonitus flammae ignis devorantis stipulam, velut populus fortis praeparatus ad praelium. |
| 6 | At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle. | A facie eius cruciabuntur populi; omnes vultus redigentur in ollam. |
| 7 | They shall run like valiant men: like men of war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and they shall not turn aside from their ranks. | Sicut fortes current; quasi viri bellatores ascendent murum: viri in viis suis gradientur, et non declinabunt a semitis suis. |
| 8 | No one shall press upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall fall through the windows, and shall take no harm. | Unusquisque fratrem suum non coarctabit, singuli in calle suo ambulabunt; sed et per fenestras cadent, et non demolientur. |
| 9 | They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows as a thief. | Urbem ingredientur, in muro current, domos conscendent, per fenestras intrabunt quasi fur. |
| 10 | At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining. | A facie eius contremuit terra, moti sunt caeli, sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum. |
| 11 | And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it? | Et Dominus dedit vocem suam ante faciem exercitus sui, quia multa sunt nimis castra eius, quia fortia et facientia verbum eius: magnus enim dies Domini, et terribilis valde, et quis sustinebit eum? |
| 12 | Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning. | Nunc ergo, dicit Dominus, convertimini ad me in toto corde vestro, in ieiunio, et in fletu, et in planctu. |
| 13 | And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil. | Et scindite corda vestra, et non vestimenta vestra; et convertimini ad Dominum Deum vestrum, quia benignus et misericors est, patiens et multae misericordiae, et praestabilis super malitia. |
| 14 | Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God? | Quis scit si convertatur, et ignoscat, et relinquat post se benedictionem, sacrificium et libamen Domino Deo vestro? |
| 15 | Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, | Canite tuba in Sion, sanctificate ieiunium, vocate coetum: |
| 16 | Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber. | congregate populum, sanctificate ecclesiam, coadunate senes, congregate parvulos, et sugentes ubera; egrediatur sponsus de cubili suo, et sponsa de thalamo suo. |
| 17 | Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord’s ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God? | Inter vestibulum et altare plorabunt sacerdotes, ministri Domini, et dicent: Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo; et ne des haereditatem tuam in opprobrium, ut dominentur eis nationes. Quare dicunt in populis: Ubi est Deus eorum? |
| 18 | The Lord hath been zealous for his land, and hath spared his people. | Zelatus est Dominus terram suam, et pepercit populo suo. |
| 19 | And the Lord answered and said to his people: Behold I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be filled with them: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. | Et respondit Dominus, et dixit populo suo: Ecce ego mittam vobis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et replebimini eis; et non dabo vos ultra opprobrium in gentibus. |
| 20 | And I will remove far off from you the northern enemy: and I will drive him into a land unpassable, and desert, with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea: and his stench shall ascend, and his rottenness shall go up, because he hath done proudly. | Et eum qui ab aquilone est procul faciam a vobis, et expellam eum in terram inviam et desertam: faciem eius contra mare orientale, et extremum eius ad mare novissimum: et ascendet foetor eius, et ascendet putredo eius, quia superbe egit. |
| 21 | Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord hath done great things. | Noli timere, terra: exsulta, et laetare, quoniam magnificavit Dominus ut faceret. |
| 22 | Fear not, ye beasts of the fields: for the beautiful places of the wilderness are sprung, for the tree hath brought forth its fruit, the fig tree, and the vine have yielded their strength. | Nolite timere, animalia regionis, quia germinaverunt speciosa deserti; quia lignum attulit fructum suum, ficus et vinea dederunt virtutem suam. |
| 23 | And you, O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God: because he hath given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you as in the beginning. | Et, filii Sion, exsultate, et laetamini in Domino Deo vestro, quia dedit vobis doctorem iustitiae, et descendere faciet ad vos imbrem matutinum et serotinum, sicut in principio. |
| 24 | And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil. | Et implebuntur areae frumento, et redundabunt torcularia vino et oleo. |
| 25 | And I will restore to you the ears which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm have eaten; my great host which I sent upon you. | Et reddam vobis annos, quos comedit locusta, bruchus, et rubigo, et eruca: fortitudo mea magna quam misi in vos. |
| 26 | And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever. | Et comedetis vescentes, et saturabimini; et laudabitis nomen Domini Dei vestri, qui fecit mirabilia vobiscum; et non confundetur populus meus in sempiternum. |
| 27 | And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded for ever. | Et scietis quia in medio Israël ego sum, et ego Dominus Deus vester, et non est amplius; et non confundetur populus meus in aeternum. |
| 28 | And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. | Et erit post haec: effundam spiritum meum super omnem carnem, et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiae vestrae: senes vestri somnia somniabunt, et iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt. |
| 29 | Moreover upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit. | Sed et super servos meos et ancillas in diebus illis effundam spiritum meum. |
| 30 | And I will shew wonders in heaven; and in earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke. | Et dabo prodigia in caelo et in terra, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi. |
| 31 | The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come. | Sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et horribilis. |
| 32 | And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem shall be salvation, as the Lord hath said, and in the residue whom the Lord shall call. | Et erit: omnis qui invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit: quia in monte Sion et in Ierusalem erit salvatio, sicut dixit Dominus, et in residuis quos Dominus vocaverit. |
