Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Exue te, Jerusalem, stola luctus et vexationis tuæ, et indue te decore, et honore ejus, quæ a Deo tibi est, sempiternæ gloriæ.
1Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever.
2Circumdabit te Deus diploide justitiæ, et imponet mitram capiti honoris æterni.
2Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which cometh from God; and set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting.
3Deus enim ostendet splendorem suum in te, omni qui sub cælo est.
3For God will shew thy brightness unto every country under heaven.
4Nominabitur enim tibi nomen tuum a Deo in sempiternum: pax justitiæ, et honor pietatis.
4For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God’s worship.
5Exsurge, Jerusalem, et sta in excelso: et circumspice ad orientem, et vide collectos filios tuos ab oriente sole usque ad occidentem, in verbo Sancti, gaudentes Dei memoria.
5Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.
6Exierunt enim abs te pedibus ducti ab inimicis: adducet autem illos Dominus ad te portatos in honore sicut filios regni:
6For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom.
7constituit enim Deus humiliare omnem montem excelsum et rupes perennes, et convalles replere in æqualitatem terræ, ut ambulet Israël diligenter in honorem Dei.
7For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,
8Obumbraverunt autem et silvæ, et omne lignum suavitatis Israël ex mandato Dei.
8Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.
9Adducet enim Deus Israël cum jucunditate in lumine majestatis suæ, cum misericordia et justitia quæ est ex ipso.]
9For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.
