Douai-Rheims	Nova Vulgata
¹ Let us now praise men of renown, and our fathers in their generation.	¹ Laus patrum. Laudemus viros gloriosos et parentes nostros in generatione sua.
² The Lord hath wrought great glory through his magnificence from the beginning.	² Multam gloriam fecit Dominus, magnificentiam suam a saeculo.
³ Such as have borne rule in their dominions, men of great power, and endued with their wisdom, shewing forth in the prophets the dignity of prophets,	³ Dominantes in potestatibus suis, homines magni virtute et prudentia sua praediti, nuntiantes in prophetiis,
⁴ And ruling over the present people, and by the strength of wisdom instructing the people in most holy words.	⁴ regentes populum in consiliis et peritia scripturae populos; verba sapientiae in disciplina eorum,
⁵ Such as by their skill sought out musical tunes, and published canticles of the scriptures.	⁵ requirentes modos musicos et narrantes carmina scripturarum;
⁶ Rich men in virtue, studying beautifulness: living at peace in their houses.	⁶ homines divites innixi virtute, pulchritudinis studium habentes, pacificantes in domibus suis.
⁷ All these have gained glory in their generations, and were praised in their days.	⁷ Omnes isti in generationibus gentis suae gloriam adepti sunt et a diebus suis habentur in laudibus.
⁸ They that were born of them have left a name behind them, that their praises might be related:	⁸ De illis nati sunt, qui reliquerunt nomen narrandi laudes eorum.
⁹ And there are some, of whom there is no memorial: who are perished, as if they had never been: and are become as if they had never been born, and their children with them.	⁹ Et sunt quorum non est memoria: perierunt quasi qui non fuerint; et nati sunt quasi non nati, et filii ipsorum post ipsos.
¹⁰ But these were men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed:	¹⁰ Sed hi viri misericordiae sunt, quorum pietates non fuerunt in oblivione.
¹¹ Good things continue with their seed,	¹¹ Cum semine eorum permanent, bona hereditas, nepotes eorum,
¹² Their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed hath stood in the covenants.	¹² et in testamentis stetit semen eorum;
¹³ And their children for their sakes remain for ever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken.	¹³ et filii eorum propter illos. Usque in aeternum manet semen eorum, et gloria eorum non derelinquetur.
¹⁴ Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation.	¹⁴ Corpora ipsorum in pace sepulta sunt, et nomen eorum vivit in generationem et generationem;
¹⁵ Let the people shew forth their wisdom, and the church declare their praise.	¹⁵ sapientiam ipsorum narrent populi, et laudem eorum nuntiet ecclesia.
¹⁶ Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations.	¹⁶ Henoch placuit Deo et translatus est in paradisum, ut det gentibus paenitentiam.
¹⁷ Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation.	¹⁷ Noe inventus est perfectus iustus et in tempore iracundiae factus est reconciliatio;
¹⁸ Therefore was there a remnant left to the earth, when the flood came.	¹⁸ propter eum dimissum est reliquum terrae, cum factum est diluvium:
¹⁹ The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the hood.	¹⁹ testamenta saeculi posita sunt apud illum, ne deleri posset diluvio omnis caro.
²⁰ Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him.	²⁰ Abraham magnus pater multitudinis gentium, et non est inventa macula in gloria eius; qui conservavit legem Excelsi et fuit in testamento cum illo.
²¹ In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful.	²¹ In carne eius stare fecit testamentum, et in tentatione inventus est fidelis.
²² Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth,	²² Ideo iure iurando statuit illi benedici gentes in semine eius, crescere illum quasi terrae cumulum
²³ And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.	²³ et ut stellas exaltare semen eius et hereditare illos a mari usque ad mare et a Flumine usque ad terminos terrae.
²⁴ And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father.	²⁴ Et in Isaac eodem modo statuit propter Abraham patrem eius.
²⁵ The Lord gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob.	²⁵ Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi Dominus et testamentum confirmavit super caput Iacob.
²⁶ He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes.	²⁶ Agnovit eum in benedictionibus suis et dedit illi hereditatem et divisit illi partem in tribubus duodecim.
²⁷ And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh.	²⁷ Et eduxit ex illo hominem misericordiae invenientem gratiam in oculis omnis carnis,
