Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Onus Babylonis, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos.
1The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
2[Super montem caliginosum levate signum: exaltate vocem, levate manum, et ingrediantur portas duces.
2Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
3Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis, et vocavi fortes meos in ira mea, exsultantes in gloria mea.
3I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
4Vox multitudinis in montibus, quasi populorum frequentium; vox sonitus regum, gentium congregatarum. Dominus exercituum præcepit militiæ belli,
4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5venientibus de terra procul, a summitate cæli; Dominus, et vasa furoris ejus, ut disperdat omnem terram.
5To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini; quasi vastitas a Domino veniet.
6Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7Propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis contabescet,
7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
8et conteretur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt; quasi parturiens dolebunt: unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit, facies combustæ vultus eorum.
8And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
9Ecce dies Domini veniet, crudelis, et indignationis plenus, et iræ, furorisque, ad ponendam terram in solitudinem, et peccatores ejus conterendos de ea.
9Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10Quoniam stellæ cæli, et splendor earum, non expandent lumen suum; obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo, et luna non splendebit in lumine suo.
10For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
11Et visitabo super orbis mala, et contra impios iniquitatem eorum; et quiescere faciam superbiam infidelium, et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo.
11And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obrizo.
12A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
13Super hoc cælum turbabo; et movebitur terra de loco suo, propter indignationem Domini exercituum, et propter diem iræ furoris ejus.
13For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
14Et erit quasi damula fugiens, et quasi ovis, et non erit qui congreget. Unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient.
14And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
15Omnis qui inventus fuerit occidetur, et omnis qui supervenerit cadet in gladio;
15Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
16infantes eorum allidentur in oculis eorum, diripientur domus eorum, et uxores eorum violabuntur.
16Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
17Ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos, qui argentum non quærant, nec aurum velint;
17Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
18sed sagittis parvulos interficient, et lactantibus uteris non miserebuntur, et super filios non parcet oculus eorum.
18But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
19Et erit Babylon illa gloriosa in regnis, inclyta superbia Chaldæorum, sicut subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham.
19And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
20Non habitabitur usque in finem, et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem; nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs, nec pastores requiescent ibi.
20It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
21Sed requiescent ibi bestiæ, et replebuntur domus eorum draconibus, et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi;
21But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
22et respondebunt ibi ululæ in ædibus ejus, et sirenes in delubris voluptatis.]
22And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
