| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying. | Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce volumen volans. |
| 2 | And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. | Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudo eius decem cubitorum. |
| 3 | And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it. | Et dixit ad me: Haec est maledictio quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, iudicabitur, et omnis iurans ex hoc similiter iudicabitur. |
| 4 | I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof. | Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus eius, et consumet eam, et ligna eius, et lapides eius. |
| 5 | And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth. | Et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur. |
| 6 | And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth. | Et dixi: Quidnam est? Et ait: Haec est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Haec est oculus eorum in universa terra. |
| 7 | And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel. | Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae. |
| 8 | And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. | Et dixit: Haec est impietas. Et proiecit eam in medio amphorae, et misit massam plumbeam in os eius. |
| 9 | And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven. | Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duae mulieres egredientes: et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi, et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et caelum. |
| 10 | And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel? | Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram? |
| 11 | And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis. | Et dixit ad me: Ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam. |
