Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law.
1[In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini, pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.
2They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.
2Me invocabunt: Deus meus, cognovimus te Israël.
3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.
3Projecit Israël bonum: inimicus persequetur eum.
4They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.
4Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me; principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.
5Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
5Projectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria; iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?
6For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders’ webs.
6Quia ex Israël et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est deus; quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.
7For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.
7Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo; germen non faciet farinam: quod etsi fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
8Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.
8Devoratus est Israël; nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
9Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi; Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
10But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.
10Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos, et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum.
11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
11Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum; factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.
12I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.
12Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.
13They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
13Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.
14And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
14Et oblitus est Israël factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra; et Judas multiplicavit urbes munitas; et mittam ignem in civitates ejus, et devorabit ædes illius.]
