Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1[Væ qui prædaris ! nonne et ipse prædaberis? et qui spernis, nonne et ipse sperneris? Cum consummaveris deprædationem, deprædaberis; cum fatigatus desieris contemnere, contemneris.
1Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed, and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2Domine, miserere nostri, te enim exspectavimus; esto brachium nostrum in mane, et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
2LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersæ sunt gentes.
3At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossæ plenæ fuerint de eo.
4Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso; implevit Sion judicio et justitia.
5The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6Et erit fides in temporibus tuis: divitiæ salutis sapientia et scientia; timor Domini ipse est thesaurus ejus.
6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
7Ecce videntes clamabunt foris; angeli pacis amare flebunt.
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8Dissipatæ sunt viæ, cessavit transiens per semitam: irritum factum est pactum, projecit civitates, non reputavit homines.
8The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9Luxit et elanguit terra; confusus est Libanus, et obsorduit: et factus est Saron sicut desertum, et concussa est Basan, et Carmelus.
9The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus; nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.
10“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11Concipietis ardorem, parietis stipulam; spiritus vester ut ignis vorabit vos.
11You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12Et erunt populi quasi de incendio cinis; spinæ congregatæ igni comburentur.
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13Audite, qui longe estis, quæ fecerim; et cognoscite, vicini, fortitudinem meam.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores; possedit tremor hypocritas. Quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante? quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis?
14The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15Qui ambulat in justitiis et loquitur veritatem, qui projicit avaritiam ex calumnia, et excutit manus suas ab omni munere, qui obturat aures suas ne audiat sanguinem, et claudit oculos suos ne videat malum.
15He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16Iste in excelsis habitabit; munimenta saxorum sublimitas ejus: panis ei datus est, aquæ ejus fideles sunt.
16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi ejus, cernent terram de longe.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18Cor tuum meditabitur timorem: ubi est litteratus? ubi legis verba ponderans? ubi doctor parvulorum?
18Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19Populum impudentem non videbis, populum alti sermonis, ita ut non possis intelligere disertitudinem linguæ ejus, in quo nulla est sapientia.
19You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20Respice, Sion, civitatem solemnitatis nostræ: oculi tui videbunt Jerusalem, habitationem opulentam, tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit; nec auferentur clavi ejus in sempiternum, et omnes funiculi ejus non rumpentur:
20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21quia solummodo ibi magnificus est Dominus noster: locus fluviorum rivi latissimi et patentes: non transibit per eum navis remigum, neque trieris magna transgredietur eum.
21But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22Dominus enim judex noster, Dominus legifer noster, Dominus rex noster, ipse salvabit nos.
22For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will save us.
23Laxati sunt funiculi tui, et non prævalebunt; sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas. Tunc dividentur spolia prædarum multarum; claudi diripient rapinam.
23Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
24Nec dicet vicinus: Elangui; populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.]
24The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
