Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1“Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
1Dicite fratribus vestris: Populus meus; et sorori vestræ: Misericordiam consecuta.
2Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
2[Judicate matrem vestram, judicate, quoniam ipsa non uxor mea, et ego non vir ejus. Auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua, et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum;
3Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
3ne forte expoliem eam nudam, et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suæ, et ponam eam quasi solitudinem, et statuam eam velut terram inviam, et interficiam eam siti.
4I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
4Et filiorum illius non miserebor, quoniam filii fornicationum sunt.
5For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
5Quia fornicata est mater eorum, confusa est quæ concepit eos; quia dixit: Vadam post amatores meos, qui dant panes mihi, et aquas meas, lanam meam, et linum meum, oleum meum, et potum meum.
6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
6Propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis, et sepiam eam maceria, et semitas suas non inveniet.
7She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
7Et sequetur amatores suos, et non apprehendet eos; et quæret eos, et non inveniet: et dicet: Vadam, et revertar ad virum meum priorem, quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc.
8For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
8Et hæc nescivit, quia ego dedi ei frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et argentum multiplicavi ei, et aurum, quæ fecerunt Baal.
9Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
9Idcirco convertar, et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo, et vinum meum in tempore suo. Et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum, quæ operiebant ignominiam ejus.
10And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
10Et nunc revelabo stultitiam ejus in oculis amatorum ejus; et vir non eruet eam de manu mea;
11I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
11et cessare faciam omne gaudium ejus, solemnitatem ejus, neomeniam ejus, sabbatum ejus, et omnia festa tempora ejus.
12I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
12Et corrumpam vineam ejus, et ficum ejus, de quibus dixit: Mercedes hæ meæ sunt, quas dederunt mihi amatores mei; et ponam eam in saltum, et comedet eam bestia agri.
13I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.
13Et visitabo super eam dies Baalim, quibus accendebat incensum, et ornabatur in aure sua, et monili suo. Et ibat post amatores suos, et mei obliviscebatur, dicit Dominus.
14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
14Propter hoc ecce ego lactabo eam, et ducam eam in solitudinem, et loquar ad cor ejus.
15There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
15Et dabo ei vinitores ejus ex eodem loco, et vallem Achor, ad aperiendam spem; et canet ibi juxta dies juventutis suæ, et juxta dies ascensionis suæ de terra Ægypti.
16In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
16Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus: vocabit me, Vir meus, et non vocabit me ultra Baali.
17For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
17Et auferam nomina Baalim de ore ejus, et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum.
18On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
18Et percutiam cum eis fœdus in die illa, cum bestia agri, et cum volucre cæli, et cum reptili terræ; et arcum, et gladium, et bellum conteram de terra, et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter.
19So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
19Et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum; et sponsabo te mihi in justitia, et judicio, et in misericordia, et in miserationibus.
20And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
20Et sponsabo te mihi in fide; et scies quia ego Dominus.
21“On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
21Et erit in die illa: exaudiam, dicit Dominus, exaudiam cælos, et illi exaudient terram.
22And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
22Et terra exaudiet triticum, et vinum, et oleum, et hæc exaudient Jezrahel.
23And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
23Et seminabo eam mihi in terra, et miserebor ejus quæ fuit Absque misericordia.
