Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear ye what the Lord saith: Arise, contend thou in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. | Audite quae Dominus loquitur: Surge, contende iudicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam. |
| 2 | Let the mountains hear the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord will enter into judgment with his people, and he will plead against Israel. | Audiant montes iudicium Domini, et fortia fundamenta terrae; quia iudicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israël diiudicabitur. |
| 3 | O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested thee? answer thou me. | Popule meus, quid feci tibi? aut quid molestus fui tibi? Responde mihi. |
| 4 | For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of slaves: and I sent before thy face Moses, and Aaron, and Mary. | Quia eduxi te de terra Aegypti, et de domo servientium liberavi te, et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen, et Aaron, et Mariam. |
| 5 | O my people, remember, I pray thee, what Balach the king of Moab purposed: and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Setim to Galgal, that thou mightest know the justices of the Lord. | Popule meus, memento, quaeso, quid cogitaverit Balach, rex Moab, et quid responderit ei Balaam, filius Beor, de Setim usque ad Galgalam, ut cognosceres iustitias Domini. |
| 6 | What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? wherewith shall I kneel before the high God? shall I offer holocausts unto him, and calves of a year old? | Quid dignum offeram Domino? curvabo genu Deo excelso? Numquid offeram ei holocautomata et vitulos anniculos? |
| 7 | May the Lord be appeased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he goats? shall I give my firstborn for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? | numquid placari potest Dominus in millibus arietum, aut in multis millibus hircorum pinguium? numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo, fructum ventris mei pro peccato animae meae? |
| 8 | I will shew thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: Verily, to do judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk solicitous with thy God. | Indicabo tibi, o homo, quid sit bonum, et quid Dominus requirat a te: utique facere iudicium, et diligere misericordiam, et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo. |
| 9 | The voice of the Lord crieth to the city, and salvation shall be to them that fear thy name: hear, O ye tribes, and who shall approve it? | Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat, et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum: audite, tribus, et quis approbabit illud? |
| 10 | As yet there is a fire in the house of the wicked, the treasures of iniquity, and a scant measure full of wrath. | Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor irae plena. |
| 11 | Shall I justify wicked balances, and the deceitful weights of the bag? | Numquid iustificabo stateram impiam, et saccelli pondera dolosa? |
| 12 | By which her rich men were filled with iniquity, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in their mouth. | In quibus divites eius repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum. |
| 13 | And I therefore began to strike thee with desolation for thy sins. | Et ego ergo coepi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis. |
| 14 | Thou shalt eat, but shalt not be filled: and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not save: and those whom thou shalt save, I will give up to the sword. | Tu comedes, et non saturaberis, et humiliatio tua in medio tui: et apprehendes, et non salvabis, et quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo. |
| 15 | Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap: thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not be anointed with the oil: and the new wine, but shalt not drink the wine. | Tu seminabis, et non metes: tu calcabis olivam, et non ungeris oleo; et mustum, et non bibes vinum. |
| 16 | For thou hast kept the statutes of Amri, and all the works of the house of Achab: and thou hast walked according to their wills, that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing, and you shall bear the reproach of my people. | Et custodisti praecepta Amri, et omne opus domus Achab, et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum: ut darem te in perditionem, et habitantes in ea in sibilum, et opprobrium populi mei portabitis. |
