Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1[Ecce enim Dominator, Dominus exercituum, auferet a Jerusalem et a Juda validum et fortem, omne robur panis, et omne robor aquæ;
1For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2fortem, et virum bellatorem, judicem, et prophetam, et ariolum, et senem;
2the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3principem super quinquaginta, et honorabilem vultu et consiliarium, et sapientem de architectis, et prudentem eloquii mystici.
3the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4Et dabo pueros principes eorum, et effeminati dominabuntur eis;
4I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5et irruet populus, vir ad virum, et unusquisque ad proximum suum; tumultuabitur puer contra senem, et ignobilis contra nobilem.
5The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.
6Apprehendet enim vir fratrem suum, domesticum patris sui: Vestimentum tibi est, princeps esto noster, ruina autem hæc sub manu tua.
6Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
7Respondebit in die illa, dicens: Non sum medicus, et in domo mea non est panis neque vestimentum: nolite constituere me principem populi.
7In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
8Ruit enim Jerusalem, et Judas concidit, quia lingua eorum et adinventiones eorum contra Dominum, ut provocarent oculos majestatis ejus.
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9Agnitio vultus eorum respondit eis; et peccatum suum quasi Sodoma prædicaverunt, nec absconderunt. Væ animæ eorum, quoniam reddita sunt eis mala !
9The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10Dicite justo quoniam bene, quoniam fructum adinventionum suarum comedet.
10Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11Væ impio in malum ! retributio enim manuum ejus fiet ei.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
12Populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt, et mulieres dominatæ sunt eis. Popule meus, qui te beatum dicunt, ipsi te decipiunt, et viam gressuum tuorum dissipant.
12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13Stat ad judicandum Dominus, et stat ad judicandos populos.
13The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14Dominus ad judicium veniet cum senibus populi sui, et principibus ejus; vos enim depasti estis vineam, et rapina pauperis in domo vestra.
14The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15Quare atteritis populum meum, et facies pauperum commolitis? dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.]
15What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
16[Et dixit Dominus: Pro eo quod elevatæ sunt filiæ Sion, et ambulaverunt extento collo, et nutibus oculorum ibant, et plaudebant, ambulabant pedibus suis, et composito gradu incedebant;
16Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17decalvabit Dominus verticem filiarum Sion, et Dominus crinem earum nudabit.
17therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”
18In die illa auferet Dominus ornamentum calceamentum,
18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19et lunulas, et torques, et monilia, et armillas, et mitras,
19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20et discriminalia, et periscelidas, et murenulas, et olfactoriola, et inaures,
20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21et annulos, et gemmas in fronte pendentes,
21the signet rings, the nose rings,
22et mutatoria, et palliola, et linteamina, et acus,
22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23et specula, et sindones, et vittas, et theristra.
23the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24Et erit pro suavi odore fœtor, et pro zona funiculus, et pro crispanti crine calvitium, et pro fascia pectorali cilicium.
24It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25Pulcherrimi quoque viri tui gladio cadent, et fortes tui in prælio.
25Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26Et mœrebunt atque lugebunt portæ ejus, et desolata in terra sedebit.]
26Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
