Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1[Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumææ usque ad cinerem.
1Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.
2Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit ædes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubæ.
2And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet:
3Et disperdam judicem de medio ejus, et omnes principes ejus interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.]
3And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord.
4[Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Juda, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod abjecerit legem Domini et mandata ejus non custodierit: deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quæ abierant patres eorum.
4Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.
5Et mittam ignem in Juda, et devorabit ædes Jerusalem.
5And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.
6Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israël, et super quatuor non convertam eum, pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento justum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.
6Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.
7Qui conterunt super pulverem terræ capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant: et filius ac pater ejus ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.
7They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
8Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt juxta omne altare, et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
8And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
9Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhæum a facie eorum, cujus altitudo, cedrorum altitudo ejus, et fortis ipse quasi quercus; et contrivi fructum ejus desuper, et radices ejus subter.
9Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.
10Ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Ægypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis, ut possideretis terram Amorrhæi.
10It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.
11Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de juvenibus vestris nazaræos. Numquid non ita est, filii Israël? dicit Dominus.
11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord?
12Et propinabitis nazaræis vinum, et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.
12And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.
13Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fœno.
13Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
14Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam:
14And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
15et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam:
15And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life.
16et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.]
16And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
