Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and said: Thou art great, O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages:
1Aperiens autem Tobias senior os suum, benedixit Dominum, et dixit: [Magnus es, Domine, in æternum, et in omnia sæcula regnum tuum:
2For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand.
2quoniam tu flagellas, et salvas; deducis ad inferos, et reducis: et non est qui effugiat manum tuam.
3Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the Gentiles:
3Confitemini Domino, filii Israël, et in conspectu gentium laudate eum:
4Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him.
4quoniam ideo dispersit vos inter gentes quæ ignorant eum, ut vos enarretis mirabilia ejus, et faciatis scire eos quia non est alius deus omnipotens præter eum.
5He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy.
5Ipse castigavit nos propter iniquitates nostras, et ipse salvabit nos propter misericordiam suam.
6See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works.
6Aspicite ergo quæ fecit nobiscum, et cum timore et tremore confitemini illi: regemque sæculorum exaltate in operibus vestris.
7As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation.
7Ego autem in terra captivitatis meæ confitebor illi: quoniam ostendit majestatem suam in gentem peccatricem.
8Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you.
8Convertimini itaque peccatores, et facite justitiam coram Deo, credentes quod faciat vobiscum misericordiam suam.
9And I and my soul will rejoice in him.
9Ego autem et anima mea in eo lætabimur.
10Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy, and give glory to him.
10Benedicite Dominum omnes electi ejus: agite dies lætitiæ, et confitemini illi.
11Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee for the works of thy hands.
11Jerusalem civitas Dei, castigavit te Dominus in operibus manuum tuarum.
12Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal, that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever.
12Confitere Domino in bonis tuis, et benedic Deum sæculorum: ut reædificet in te tabernaculum suum, et revocet ad te omnes captivos, et gaudeas in omnia sæcula sæculorum.
13Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and all the ends of the earth shall worship thee.
13Luce splendida fulgebis, et omnes fines terræ adorabunt te.
14Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall bring gifts, and shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as holy.
14Nationes ex longinquo ad te venient, et munera deferentes adorabunt in te Dominum, et terram tuam in sanctificationem habebunt:
15For they shall call upon the great name in thee.
15nomen enim magnum invocabunt in te.
16They shall be cursed that shall despise thee: and they shall be condemned that shall blaspheme thee: and blessed shall they be that shall build thee up.
16Maledicti erunt qui contempserint te, et condemnati erunt omnes qui blasphemaverint te: benedictique erunt qui ædificaverint te.
17But thou shalt rejoice in thy children, because they shall all be blessed, and shall be gathered together to the Lord.
17Tu autem lætaberis in filiis tuis, quoniam omnes benedicentur, et congregabuntur ad Dominum.
18Blessed are all they that love thee, and that rejoice in thy peace.
18Beati omnes qui diligunt te, et qui gaudent super pace tua.
19My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our God hath delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles.
19Anima mea, benedic Dominum, quoniam liberavit Jerusalem civitatem suam a cunctis tribulationibus ejus Dominus Deus noster.
20Happy shall I be if there shall remain of my seed, to see the glory of Jerusalem.
20Beatus ero si fuerint reliquiæ seminis mei ad videndam claritatem Jerusalem.
21The gates of Jerusalem shall be built of sapphire, and of emerald, and all the walls thereof round about of precious stones.
21Portæ Jerusalem ex sapphiro et smaragdo ædificabuntur, et ex lapide pretioso omnis circuitus murorum ejus.
22All its streets shall be paved with white and clean stones: and Alleluia shall be sung in its streets.
22Ex lapide candido et mundo omnes plateæ ejus sternentur, et per vicos ejus alleluja cantabitur.
23Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over it for ever and ever, Amen.
23Benedictus Dominus, qui exaltavit eam, et sit regnum ejus in sæcula sæculorum super eam. Amen.]
