Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Audite hæc, domus Jacob, qui vocamini nomine Israël, et de aquis Juda existis; qui juratis in nomine Domini, et Dei Israël recordamini non in veritate neque in justitia.
1Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD , and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2De civitate enim sancta vocati sunt, et super Deum Israël constabiliti sunt: Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
2For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
3Priora ex tunc annuntiavi, et ex ore meo exierunt, et audita feci ea: repente operatus sum, et venerunt.
3I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4Scivi enim quia durus es tu, et nervus ferreus cervix tua, et frons tua ærea.
4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5Prædixi tibi ex tunc; antequam venirent, indicavi tibi, ne forte diceres: Idola mea fecerunt hæc, et sculptilia mea et conflatilia mandaverunt ista.
5I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6Quæ audisti, vide omnia; vos autem, num annuntiastis? Audita feci tibi nova ex tunc, et conservata sunt quæ nescis.
6Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it ? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7Nunc creata sunt et non ex tunc; et ante diem, et non audisti ea, ne forte dicas: Ecce ego cognovi ea.
7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8Neque audisti, neque cognovisti, neque ex tunc aperta est auris tua: scio enim quia prævaricans prævaricaberis, et transgressorem ex utero vocavi te.
8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9Propter nomen meum longe faciam furorem meum, et laude mea infrenabo te, ne intereas.
9¶ For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10Ecce excoxi te, sed non quasi argentum; elegi te in camino paupertatis.
10Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11Propter me, propter me faciam, ut non blasphemer; et gloriam meam alteri non dabo.
11For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12Audi me, Jacob, et Israël, quem ego voco: ego ipse, ego primus, et ego novissimus.
12¶ Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13Manus quoque mea fundavit terram, et dextera mea mensa est cælos; ego vocabo eos, et stabunt simul.
13Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14Congregamini, omnes vos, et audite: quis de eis annuntiavit hæc? Dominus dilexit eum, faciet voluntatem suam in Babylone, et brachium suum in Chaldæis.
14All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things ? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15Ego, ego locutus sum, et vocavi eum; adduxi eum, et directa est via ejus.
15I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16Accedite ad me et audite hoc: non a principio in abscondito locutus sum: ex tempore antequam fieret, ibi eram: et nunc Dominus Deus misit me, et spiritus ejus.
16¶ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD , and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor tuus, Sanctus Israël: Ego Dominus Deus tuus, docens te utilia, gubernans te in via qua ambulas.
17Thus saith the LORD , thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18Utinam attendisses mandata mea: facta fuisset sicut flumen pax tua, et justitia tua sicut gurgites maris:
18O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19et fuisset quasi arena semen tuum, et stirps uteri tui ut lapilli ejus; non interisset et non fuisset attritum nomen ejus a facie mea.
19Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20Egredimini de Babylone, fugite a Chaldæis, in voce exsultationis annuntiate: auditum facite hoc, et efferte illud usque ad extrema terræ. Dicite: Redemit Dominus servum suum Jacob.
20¶ Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21Non sitierunt in deserto, cum educeret eos: aquam de petra produxit eis, et scidit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ.
21And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus.]
22There is no peace, saith the LORD , unto the wicked.
