KING JAMES BIBLEVULGATA
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.1 Væ qui cogitatis inutile,
et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris !
In luce matutina faciunt illud,
quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.2 Et concupierunt agros, et violenter tulerunt :
et rapuerunt domos,
et calumniabantur virum, et domum ejus :
virum, et hæreditatem ejus.
3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.3 Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce ego cogito super familiam istam malum,
unde non auferetis colla vestra,
et non ambulabitis superbi :
quoniam tempus pessimum est.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.4 In die illa sumetur super vos parabola,
et cantabitur canticum cum suavitate, dicentium :
Depopulatione vastati sumus ;
pars populi mei commutata est :
quomodo recedet a me, cum revertatur,
qui regiones nostras dividat ?
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.5 Propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in cœtu Domini.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.6 Ne loquamini loquentes ;
non stillabit super istos, non comprehendet confusio.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?7 Dicit domus Jacob :
Numquid abbreviatus est spiritus Domini,
aut tales sunt cogitationes ejus ?
nonne verba mea bona sunt cum eo qui recte graditur ?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.8 et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit.
Desuper tunica pallium sustulistis :
et eos qui transibant simpliciter convertistis in bellum.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.9 Mulieres populi mei ejecistis de domo deliciarum suarum ;
a parvulis earum tulistis laudem meam in perpetuum.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.10 Surgite, et ite, quia non habetis hic requiem :
propter immunditiam ejus corrumpetur putredine pessima.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.11 Utinam non essem vir habens spiritum,
et mendacium potius loquerer !
Stillabo tibi in vinum et in ebrietatem ;
et erit super quem stillatur populus iste.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.12 Congregatione congregabo, Jacob, totum te ;
in unum conducam reliquias Israël :
pariter ponam illum quasi gregem in ovili,
quasi pecus in medio caularum :
tumultuabuntur a multitudine hominum.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.13 Ascendet enim pandens iter ante eos :
divident, et transibunt portam,
et ingredientur per eam :
et transibit rex eorum coram eis,
et Dominus in capite eorum.
