Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
1[Ecce Dominus dissipabit terram: et nudabit eam, et affliget faciem ejus, et disperget habitatores ejus.
2It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
2Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos; et sicut servus, sic dominus ejus; sicut ancilla, sic domina ejus; sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit; sicut fœnerator, sic is qui mutuum accipit; sicut qui repetit, sic qui debet.
3The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.
3Dissipatione dissipabitur terra, et direptione prædabitur; Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.
4The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
4Luxit, et defluxit terra, et infirmata est; defluxit orbis, infirmata est altitudo populi terræ.
5The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
5Et terra infecta est ab habitatoribus suis, quia transgressi sunt leges, mutaverunt jus, dissipaverunt fœdus sempiternum.
6Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
6Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores ejus; ideoque insanient cultores ejus, et relinquentur homines pauci.
7The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
7Luxit vindemia, infirmata est vitis, ingemuerunt omnes qui lætabantur corde;
8The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
8cessavit gaudium tympanorum, quievit sonitus lætantium, conticuit dulcedo citharæ.
9They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
9Cum cantico non bibent vinum; amara erit potio bibentibus illam.
10The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
10Attrita est civitas vanitatis, clausa est omnis domus, nullo introëunte.
11There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
11Clamor erit super vino in plateis, deserta est omnia lætitia, translatum est gaudium terræ.
12The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
12Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et calamitas opprimet portas.
13For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
13Quia hæc erunt in medio terræ in medio populorum, quomodo si paucæ olivæ quæ remanserunt excutiantur ex olea et racemi, cum fuerit finita vindemia.]
14These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.
14[Hi levabunt vocem suam, atque laudabunt: cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus, hinnient de mari.
15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
15Propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum; in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israël.
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
16A finibus terræ laudes audivimus, gloriam Justi. Et dixi: Secretum meum mihi, secretum meum mihi. Væ mihi ! prævaricantes prævaricati sunt, et prævaricatione transgressorum prævaricati sunt.
17Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
17Formido, et fovea, et laqueus super te, qui habitator es terræ.
18It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
18Et erit: qui fugerit a voce formidinis cadet in foveam; et qui se explicaverit de fovea tenebitur laqueo; quia cataractæ de excelsis apertæ sunt et concutientur fundamenta terræ.
19The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
19Confractione confringetur terra, contritione conteretur terra, commotione commovebitur terra;
20The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
20agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius, et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis; et gravabit eam iniquitas sua, et corruet, et non adjiciet ut resurgat.
21It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
21Et erit: in die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam cæli in excelso, et super reges terræ qui sunt super terram;
22They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
22et congregabuntur in congregatione unius fascis in lacum, et claudentur ibi in carcere, et post multos dies visitabuntur.
23Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
23Et erubescet luna, et confundetur sol, cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion et in Jerusalem et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus.]
