Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1[Ecce in justitia regnabit rex, et principes in judicio præerunt.
1Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shell rule in judgment.
2Et erit vir sicut qui absconditur a vento, et celat se a tempestate; sicut rivi aquarum in siti, et umbra petræ prominentis in terra deserta.
2And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.
3Non caligabunt oculi videntium, et aures audientium diligenter auscultabunt.
3The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.
4Et cor stultorum intelliget scientiam, et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.
4And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.
5Non vocabitur ultra is qui insipiens est, princeps, neque fraudulentus appellabitur major;
5The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
6stultus enim fatua loquetur, et cor ejus faciet iniquitatem, ut perficiat simulationem, et loquatur ad Dominum fraudulenter, et vacuam faciat animam esurientis, et potum sitienti auferat.
6For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.
7Fraudulenti vasa pessima sunt; ipse enim cogitationes concinnavit ad perdendos mites in sermone mendacii, cum loqueretur pauper judicium.
7The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
8Princeps vero ea quæ digna sunt principe cogitabit, et ipse super duces stabit.]
8But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
9[Mulieres opulentæ, surgite, et audite vocem meam; filiæ confidentes, percipite auribus eloquium meum.
9Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to my speech.
10Post dies enim et annum, vos conturbabimini confidentes; consummata est enim vindemia, collectio ultra non veniet.
10For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.
11Obstupescite, opulentæ; conturbamini, confidentes: exuite vos et confundimini; accingite lumbos vestros.
11Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird your loins.
12Super ubera plangite, super regione desiderabili, super vinea fertili.
12Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.
13Super humum populi mei spinæ et vepres ascendent: quanto magis super omnes domos gaudii civitatis exultantis !
13Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?
14Domus enim dimissa est, multitudo urbis relicta est, tenebræ et palpatio factæ sunt super speluncas usque in æternum; gaudium onagrorum, pascua gregum.
14For the house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever. A joy of wild asses, the pastures of flocks,
15Donec effundatur super nos spiritus de excelso, et erit desertum in carmel, et carmel in saltum reputabitur.
15Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest.
16Et habitabit in solitudine judicium, et justitia in carmel sedebit.
16And judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.
17Et erit opus justitiæ pax, et cultus justitiæ silentium, et securitas usque in sempiternum.
17And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.
18Et sedebit populus meus in pulchritudine pacis, et in tabernaculis fiduciæ, et in requie opulenta.
18And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.
19Grando autem in descensione saltus, et humilitate humiliabitur civitas.
19But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.
20Beati qui seminatis super omnes aquas, immittentes pedem bovis et asini.]
20Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, sending thither the foot of the ox and the ass.
