Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
1Onus vallis Visionis. [Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta?
2O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
2Clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exsultans; interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.
3All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
3Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt; omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter; procul fugerunt.
4Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
4Propterea dixi: Recedite a me: amare flebo; nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiæ populi mei;
5For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
5dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum, Domino Deo exercituum, in valle Visionis, scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.
6Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
6Et Ælam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.
7Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
7Et erunt electæ valles tuæ plenæ quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.
8He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
8Et revelabitur operimentum Judæ, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.
9You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
9Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatæ sunt; et congregastis aquas piscinæ inferioris,
10You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
10et domos Jerusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.
11You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
11Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinæ veteris; et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam, et operatorem ejus de longe non vidistis.
12On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
12Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci;
13But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
13et ecce gaudium et lætitia, occidere vitulos et jugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum: comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.
14The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.
14Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum: Si dimittetur iniquitas hæc vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.]
15This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
15[Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Vade, ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam, præpositum templi, et dices ad eum:
16What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
16Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic? quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter, in petra tabernaculum tibi.
17Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
17Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus; et quasi amictum, sic sublevabit te.
18roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
18Coronas coronabit te tribulatione; quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam; ibi morieris, et ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ, ignominia domus domini tui.
19I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
19Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
20Et erit in die illa: vocabo servum meum Eliacim, filium Helciæ,
21I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
21et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu ejus; et erit quasi pater habitantibus Jerusalem et domui Juda.
22I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
22Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum ejus; et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat; et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
23Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriæ domui patris ejus.
24So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
24Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris ejus; vasorum diversa genera, omne vas parvulum, a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum.
25In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
25In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli, et frangetur, et cadet, et peribit quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est.]
