Nahum 1

Douai-Rheims	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.	¹ Onus Ninive. Liber visionis Nahum Elcesæi.
² The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.	² Deus æmulator, et ulciscens Dominus : ulciscens Dominus, et habens furorem : ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos, et irascens ipse inimicis suis.
³ The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.	³ Dominus patiens, et magnus fortitudine, et mundans non faciet innocentem. Dominus in tempestate et turbine viæ ejus, et nebulæ pulvis pedum ejus.
⁴ He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.	⁴ Increpans mare, et exsiccans illud, et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens. Infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus, et flos Libani elanguit.
⁵ The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.	⁵ Montes commoti sunt ab eo, et colles desolati sunt : et contremuit terra a facie ejus, et orbis, et omnes habitantes in eo.
⁶ Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.	⁶ Ante faciem indignationis ejus quis stabit ? et quis resistet in ira furoris ejus ? Indignatio ejus effusa est ut ignis, et petræ dissolutæ sunt ab eo.
⁷ The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.	⁷ Bonus Dominus, et confortans in die tribulationis, et sciens sperantes in se.
⁸ But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.	⁸ Et in diluvio prætereunte consummationem faciet loci ejus, et inimicos ejus persequentur tenebræ.
⁹ What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.	⁹ Quid cogitatis contra Dominum ? Consummationem ipse faciet : non consurget duplex tribulatio,
¹⁰ For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.	¹⁰ quia sicut spinæ se invicem complectuntur, sic convivium eorum pariter potantium ; consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena.
¹¹ Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.	¹¹ Ex te exibit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam, mente pertractans prævaricationem.
¹² Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.	¹² Hæc dicit Dominus : Si perfecti fuerint, et ita plures, sic quoque attondentur, et pertransibit : afflixi te, et non affligam te ultra.
¹³ And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.	¹³ Et nunc conteram virgam ejus de dorso tuo, et vincula tua disrumpam.
¹⁴ And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.	¹⁴ Et præcipiet super te Dominus ; non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius : de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile, et conflatile ; ponam sepulchrum tuum, quia inhonoratus es.
¹⁵ Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off.	¹⁵ Ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis, et annuntiantis pacem. Celebra, Juda, festivitates tuas, et redde vota tua, quia non adjiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial : universus interiit.
