Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
1Onus vallis Visionis. [Quidnam quoque tibi est, quia ascendisti et tu omnis in tecta?
2You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
2Clamoris plena, urbs frequens, civitas exsultans; interfecti tui, non interfecti gladio, nec mortui in bello.
3All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
3Cuncti principes tui fugerunt simul dureque ligati sunt; omnes qui inventi sunt vincti sunt pariter; procul fugerunt.
4Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
4Propterea dixi: Recedite a me: amare flebo; nolite incumbere ut consolemini me super vastitate filiæ populi mei;
5For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, GOD of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”
5dies enim interfectionis, et conculcationis, et fletuum, Domino Deo exercituum, in valle Visionis, scrutans murum, et magnificus super montem.
6Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
6Et Ælam sumpsit pharetram, currum hominis equitis, et parietem nudavit clypeus.
7Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
7Et erunt electæ valles tuæ plenæ quadrigarum, et equites ponent sedes suas in porta.
8He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
8Et revelabitur operimentum Judæ, et videbis in die illa armamentarium domus saltus.
9You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
9Et scissuras civitatis David videbitis, quia multiplicatæ sunt; et congregastis aquas piscinæ inferioris,
10You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
10et domos Jerusalem numerastis, et destruxistis domos ad muniendum murum.
11You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
11Et lacum fecistis inter duos muros ad aquam piscinæ veteris; et non suspexistis ad eum qui fecerat eam, et operatorem ejus de longe non vidistis.
12In that day, the Lord, GOD of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth;
12Et vocabit Dominus Deus exercituum in die illa ad fletum, et ad planctum, ad calvitium, et ad cingulum sacci;
13and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
13et ecce gaudium et lætitia, occidere vitulos et jugulare arietes, comedere carnes, et bibere vinum: comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur.
14The LORD of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
14Et revelata est in auribus meis vox Domini exercituum: Si dimittetur iniquitas hæc vobis donec moriamini, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.]
15The Lord, GOD of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
15[Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Vade, ingredere ad eum qui habitat in tabernaculo, ad Sobnam, præpositum templi, et dices ad eum:
16‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
16Quid tu hic, aut quasi quis hic? quia excidisti tibi hic sepulchrum, excidisti in excelso memoriale diligenter, in petra tabernaculum tibi.
17Behold, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
17Ecce Dominus asportari te faciet, sicut asportatur gallus gallinaceus; et quasi amictum, sic sublevabit te.
18He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house.
18Coronas coronabit te tribulatione; quasi pilam mittet te in terram latam et spatiosam; ibi morieris, et ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ, ignominia domus domini tui.
19I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
19Et expellam te de statione tua, et de ministerio tuo deponam te.
20It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
20Et erit in die illa: vocabo servum meum Eliacim, filium Helciæ,
21and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
21et induam illum tunica tua, et cingulo tuo confortabo eum, et potestatem tuam dabo in manu ejus; et erit quasi pater habitantibus Jerusalem et domui Juda.
22I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
22Et dabo clavem domus David super humerum ejus; et aperiet, et non erit qui claudat; et claudet, et non erit qui aperiat.
23I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
23Et figam illum paxillum in loco fideli, et erit in solium gloriæ domui patris ejus.
24They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
24Et suspendent super eum omnem gloriam domus patris ejus; vasorum diversa genera, omne vas parvulum, a vasis craterarum usque ad omne vas musicorum.
25“In that day,” says the LORD of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it.”
25In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, auferetur paxillus qui fixus fuerat in loco fideli, et frangetur, et cadet, et peribit quod pependerat in eo, quia Dominus locutus est.]
