| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Now Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana, | Arphaxad itaque, rex Medorum, subiugaverat multas gentes imperio suo, et ipse aedificavit civitatem potentissimam, quam appellavit Ecbatanis, |
| 2 | Of stones squared and hewed: he made the walls thereof seventy cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, and the towers thereof he made a hundred cubits high. But on the square of them, each side was extended the space of twenty feet. | ex lapidibus quadratis et sectis: fecit muros eius in altitudinem cubitorum septuaginta, et in latitudinem cubitorum triginta: turres vero eius posuit in altitudinem cubitorum centum. |
| 3 | And he made the gates thereof according to the height of the towers: | Per quadrum vero earum latus utrumque vicenorum pedum spatio tendebatur, posuitque portas eius in altitudinem turrium: |
| 4 | And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his army and in the glory of his chariots. | et gloriabatur quasi potens in potentia exercitus sui, et in gloria quadrigarum suarum. |
| 5 | Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against Arphaxad and overcame him, | Anno igitur duodecimo regni sui, Nabuchodonosor rex Assyriorum, qui regnabat in Ninive civitate magna, pugnavit contra Arphaxad, et obtinuit eum |
| 6 | In the great plain which is called Ragua, about the Euphrates, and the Tigris, and the Jadason, in the plain of Erioch the king of the Elicians. | in campo magno qui appellatur Ragau, circa Euphraten, et Tigrin, et Iadason, in campo Erioch regis Elicorum. |
| 7 | Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, | Tunc exaltatum est regnum Nabuchodonosor, et cor eius elevatum est: et misit ad omnes qui habitabant in Cilicia, et Damasco, et Libano, |
| 8 | And to the nations that are in Carmelus, and Cedar, and to the inhabitants of Galilee in the great plain of Asdrelon, | et ad gentes quae sunt in Carmelo et Cedar, et inhabitantes Galilaeam in campo magno Esdrelon, |
| 9 | And to all that were in Samaria, and beyond the river Jordan even to Jerusalem, and all the land of Jesse till you come to the borders of Ethiopia. | et ad omnes qui erant in Samaria, et trans flumen Iordanem usque ad Ierusalem, et omnem terram Iesse quousque perveniatur ad terminos Aethiopiae. |
| 10 | To all these Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, sent messengers: | Ad hos omnes misit nuntios Nabuchodonosor rex Assyriorum: |
| 11 | But they all with one mind refused, and sent them back empty, and rejected them without honour. | qui omnes uno animo contradixerunt, et remiserunt eos vacuos, et sine honore abiecerunt. |
| 12 | Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all those countries. | Tunc indignatus Nabuchodonosor rex adversus omnem terram illam, iuravit per thronum et regnum suum quod defenderet se de omnibus regionibus his. |
