Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
1[Væ qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariæ: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israël !
2Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
2Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam, et descendite in Geth Palæstinorum, et ad optima quæque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
3You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
3Qui separati estis in diem malum, et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis;
4You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
4qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris; qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti;
5You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
5qui canitis ad vocem psalterii, sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici,
6That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
6bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti, et nihil patiebantur super contritione Joseph.
7Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
7Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium.
8The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
8Juravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Detestor ego superbiam Jacob, et domos ejus odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis.
9And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
9Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
10And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee?
10Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo; et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te?
11And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord.
11Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini.
12For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
12Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum majorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
13Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
13Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis? quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem judicium, et fructum justitiæ in absinthium.
14You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
14Qui lætamini in nihilo; qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua?
15But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
15Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israël, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem, et conteret vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem deserti.]
