Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—
1[Ecce Dominus dissipabit terram: et nudabit eam, et affliget faciem ejus, et disperget habitatores ejus.
2people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
2Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos; et sicut servus, sic dominus ejus; sicut ancilla, sic domina ejus; sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit; sicut fœnerator, sic is qui mutuum accipit; sicut qui repetit, sic qui debet.
3The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered. For the LORD has spoken this word.
3Dissipatione dissipabitur terra, et direptione prædabitur; Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.
4The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
4Luxit, et defluxit terra, et infirmata est; defluxit orbis, infirmata est altitudo populi terræ.
5The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.
5Et terra infecta est ab habitatoribus suis, quia transgressi sunt leges, mutaverunt jus, dissipaverunt fœdus sempiternum.
6Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.
6Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores ejus; ideoque insanient cultores ejus, et relinquentur homines pauci.
7The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
7Luxit vindemia, infirmata est vitis, ingemuerunt omnes qui lætabantur corde;
8The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
8cessavit gaudium tympanorum, quievit sonitus lætantium, conticuit dulcedo citharæ.
9They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
9Cum cantico non bibent vinum; amara erit potio bibentibus illam.
10The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
10Attrita est civitas vanitatis, clausa est omnis domus, nullo introëunte.
11In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
11Clamor erit super vino in plateis, deserta est omnia lætitia, translatum est gaudium terræ.
12The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
12Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et calamitas opprimet portas.
13So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
13Quia hæc erunt in medio terræ in medio populorum, quomodo si paucæ olivæ quæ remanserunt excutiantur ex olea et racemi, cum fuerit finita vindemia.]
14They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
14[Hi levabunt vocem suam, atque laudabunt: cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus, hinnient de mari.
15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
15Propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum; in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israël.
16From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.
16A finibus terræ laudes audivimus, gloriam Justi. Et dixi: Secretum meum mihi, secretum meum mihi. Væ mihi ! prævaricantes prævaricati sunt, et prævaricatione transgressorum prævaricati sunt.
17Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth.
17Formido, et fovea, et laqueus super te, qui habitator es terræ.
18Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
18Et erit: qui fugerit a voce formidinis cadet in foveam; et qui se explicaverit de fovea tenebitur laqueo; quia cataractæ de excelsis apertæ sunt et concutientur fundamenta terræ.
19The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently.
19Confractione confringetur terra, contritione conteretur terra, commotione commovebitur terra;
20The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.
20agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius, et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis; et gravabit eam iniquitas sua, et corruet, et non adjiciet ut resurgat.
21In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
21Et erit: in die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam cæli in excelso, et super reges terræ qui sunt super terram;
22They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
22et congregabuntur in congregatione unius fascis in lacum, et claudentur ibi in carcere, et post multos dies visitabuntur.
23The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
23Et erubescet luna, et confundetur sol, cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion et in Jerusalem et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus.]
