Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
1Intellectus Asaph. [Attendite, popule meus, legem meam; inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei.
2I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning.
2Aperiam in parabolis os meum; loquar propositiones ab initio.
3How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
3Quanta audivimus, et cognovimus ea, et patres nostri narraverunt nobis.
4They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.
4Non sunt occultata a filiis eorum in generatione altera, narrantes laudes Domini et virtutes ejus, et mirabilia ejus quæ fecit.
5And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:
5Et suscitavit testimonium in Jacob, et legem posuit in Israël, quanta mandavit patribus nostris nota facere ea filiis suis:
6That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.
6ut cognoscat generatio altera: filii qui nascentur et exsurgent, et narrabunt filiis suis,
7That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.
7ut ponant in Deo spem suam, et non obliviscantur operum Dei, et mandata ejus exquirant:
8That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
8ne fiant, sicut patres eorum, generatio prava et exasperans; generatio quæ non direxit cor suum, et non est creditus cum Deo spiritus ejus.
9The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.
9Filii Ephrem, intendentes et mittentes arcum, conversi sunt in die belli.
10They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.
10Non custodierunt testamentum Dei, et in lege ejus noluerunt ambulare.
11And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.
11Et obliti sunt benefactorum ejus, et mirabilium ejus quæ ostendit eis.
12Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
12Coram patribus eorum fecit mirabilia in terra Ægypti, in campo Taneos.
13He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
13Interrupit mare, et perduxit eos, et statuit aquas quasi in utre:
14And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.
14et deduxit eos in nube diei, et tota nocte in illuminatione ignis.
15He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
15Interrupit petram in eremo, et adaquavit eos velut in abysso multa.
16He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.
16Et eduxit aquam de petra, et deduxit tamquam flumina aquas.
17And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
17Et apposuerunt adhuc peccare ei; in iram excitaverunt Excelsum in inaquoso.
18And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.
18Et tentaverunt Deum in cordibus suis, ut peterent escas animabus suis.
19And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
19Et male locuti sunt de Deo; dixerunt: Numquid poterit Deus parare mensam in deserto?
20Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?
20quoniam percussit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ, et torrentes inundaverunt. Numquid et panem poterit dare, aut parare mensam populo suo?
21Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
21Ideo audivit Dominus et distulit; et ignis accensus est in Jacob, et ira ascendit in Israël:
22Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.
22quia non crediderunt in Deo, nec speraverunt in salutari ejus.
23And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.
23Et mandavit nubibus desuper, et januas cæli aperuit.
24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.
24Et pluit illis manna ad manducandum, et panem cæli dedit eis.
25Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.
25Panem angelorum manducavit homo; cibaria misit eis in abundantia.
26He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
26Transtulit austrum de cælo, et induxit in virtute sua africum.
27And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
27Et pluit super eos sicut pulverem carnes, et sicut arenam maris volatilia pennata.
28And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.
28Et ceciderunt in medio castrorum eorum, circa tabernacula eorum.
29So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:
29Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt nimis, et desiderium eorum attulit eis:
30They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:
30non sunt fraudati a desiderio suo. Adhuc escæ eorum erant in ore ipsorum,
31And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
31et ira Dei ascendit super eos: et occidit pingues eorum, et electos Israël impedivit.
32In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.
32In omnibus his peccaverunt adhuc, et non crediderunt in mirabilibus ejus.
33And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
33Et defecerunt in vanitate dies eorum, et anni eorum cum festinatione.
34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
34Cum occideret eos, quærebant eum et revertebantur, et diluculo veniebant ad eum.
35And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
35Et rememorati sunt quia Deus adjutor est eorum, et Deus excelsus redemptor eorum est.
36And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
36Et dilexerunt eum in ore suo, et lingua sua mentiti sunt ei;
37But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
37cor autem eorum non erat rectum cum eo, nec fideles habiti sunt in testamento ejus.
38But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
38Ipse autem est misericors, et propitius fiet peccatis eorum, et non disperdet eos. Et abundavit ut averteret iram suam, et non accendit omnem iram suam.
39And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
39Et recordatus est quia caro sunt, spiritus vadens et non rediens.
40How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?
40Quoties exacerbaverunt eum in deserto; in iram concitaverunt eum in inaquoso?
41And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.
41Et conversi sunt, et tentaverunt Deum, et sanctum Israël exacerbaverunt.
42They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
42Non sunt recordati manus ejus, die qua redemit eos de manu tribulantis:
43How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
43sicut posuit in Ægypto signa sua, et prodigia sua in campo Taneos;
44And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink.
44et convertit in sanguinem flumina eorum, et imbres eorum, ne biberent.
45He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
45Misit in eos cœnomyiam, et comedit eos, et ranam, et disperdidit eos;
46And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
46et dedit ærugini fructus eorum, et labores eorum locustæ;
47And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
47et occidit in grandine vineas eorum, et moros eorum in pruina;
48And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.
48et tradidit grandini jumenta eorum, et possessionem eorum igni;
49And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
49misit in eos iram indignationis suæ, indignationem, et iram, et tribulationem, immissiones per angelos malos.
50He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
50Viam fecit semitæ iræ suæ: non pepercit a morte animabus eorum, et jumenta eorum in morte conclusit:
51And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
51et percussit omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti; primitias omnis laboris eorum in tabernaculis Cham:
52And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
52et abstulit sicut oves populum suum, et perduxit eos tamquam gregem in deserto:
53And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
53et deduxit eos in spe, et non timuerunt, et inimicos eorum operuit mare.
54And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
54Et induxit eos in montem sanctificationis suæ, montem quem acquisivit dextera ejus; et ejecit a facie eorum gentes, et sorte divisit eis terram in funiculo distributionis;
55And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
55et habitare fecit in tabernaculis eorum tribus Israël.
56Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.
56Et tentaverunt, et exacerbaverunt Deum excelsum, et testimonia ejus non custodierunt.
57And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
57Et averterunt se, et non servaverunt pactum: quemadmodum patres eorum, conversi sunt in arcum pravum.
58They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
58In iram concitaverunt eum in collibus suis, et in sculptilibus suis ad æmulationem eum provocaverunt.
59God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
59Audivit Deus, et sprevit, et ad nihilum redegit valde Israël.
60And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
60Et repulit tabernaculum Silo, tabernaculum suum, ubi habitavit in hominibus.
61And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
61Et tradidit in captivitatem virtutem eorum, et pulchritudinem eorum in manus inimici.
62And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.
62Et conclusit in gladio populum suum, et hæreditatem suam sprevit.
63Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.
63Juvenes eorum comedit ignis, et virgines eorum non sunt lamentatæ.
64Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.
64Sacerdotes eorum in gladio ceciderunt, et viduæ eorum non plorabantur.
65And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
65Et excitatus est tamquam dormiens Dominus, tamquam potens crapulatus a vino.
66And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.
66Et percussit inimicos suos in posteriora; opprobrium sempiternum dedit illis.
67And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
67Et repulit tabernaculum Joseph, et tribum Ephraim non elegit:
68But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
68sed elegit tribum Juda, montem Sion, quem dilexit.
69And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.
69Et ædificavit sicut unicornium sanctificium suum, in terra quam fundavit in sæcula.
70And he chose his servant David, and took him from the hocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
70Et elegit David, servum suum, et sustulit eum de gregibus ovium; de post fœtantes accepit eum:
71To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.
71pascere Jacob servum suum, et Israël hæreditatem suam.
72And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.
72Et pavit eos in innocentia cordis sui, et in intellectibus manuum suarum deduxit eos.]
