Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
1[Ecce enim Dominator, Dominus exercituum, auferet a Jerusalem et a Juda validum et fortem, omne robur panis, et omne robor aquæ;
2the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
2fortem, et virum bellatorem, judicem, et prophetam, et ariolum, et senem;
3the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
3principem super quinquaginta, et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium, et sapientem de architectis, et prudentem eloquii mystici.
4“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
4Et dabo pueros principes eorum, et effeminati dominabuntur eis;
5The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
5et irruet populus, vir ad virum, et unusquisque ad proximum suum; tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.
6A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
6Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum, domesticum patris sui: Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem hæc sub manu tua.
7On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
7Respondebit in die illa, dicens: Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum: nolite constituere me principem populi.
8For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
8Ruit enim Jerusalem, et Judas concidit, quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos majestatis ejus.
9The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
9Agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis; et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma prædicaverunt, nec absconderunt. Væ animæ eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala !
10Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
10Dicite justo quoniam bene, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.
11Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
11Væ impio in malum ! retributio enim manuum ejus fiet ei.
12Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
12Populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt, et mulieres dominatæ sunt eis. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt, et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.
13The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.
13Stat ad judicandum Dominus, et stat ad judicandos populos.
14The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
14Dominus ad judicium veniet cum senibus populi sui, et principibus ejus; vos enim depasti estis vineam, et rapina pauperis in domo vestra.
15Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.
15Quare atteritis populum meum, et facies pauperum commolitis? dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.]
16The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—
16[Et dixit Dominus: Pro eo quod elevatæ sunt filiæ Sion, et ambulaverunt extento collo, et nutibus oculorum ibant, et plaudebant, ambulabant pedibus suis, et composito gradu incedebant;
17the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
17decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion, et Dominus crinem earum nudabit.
18In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
18In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentum,
19their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
19et lunulas, et torques, et monilia, et armillas, et mitras,
20their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
20et discriminalia, et periscelidas, et murenulas, et olfactoriola, et inaures,
21their signet rings and nose rings;
21et annulos, et gemmas in fronte pendentes,
22their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
22et mutatoria, et palliola, et linteamina, et acus,
23and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
23et specula, et sindones, et vittas, et theristra.
24Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
24Et erit pro suavi odore fœtor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispanti crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium.
25Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
25Pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in prælio.
26And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
26Et mœrebunt atque lugebunt portæ ejus, et desolata in terra sedebit.]
