NEW JERUSALEMVULGATA
1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said, 'Strike the top of the pil ar so that the thresholdsshake! Smash their heads in, one and al ! And I shal put any survivors to the sword; whoever runs away wil notrun far, whoever escapes wil not make good his escape.1 Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit : Percute cardinem,
et commoveantur superliminaria :
avaritia enim in capite omnium,
et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam ;
non erit fuga eis.
Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.
2 Should they burrow into Sheol, my hand wil haul them out; should they climb to heaven, I shal bringthem down.2 Si descenderint usque ad infernum,
inde manus mea educet eos ;
et si ascenderint usque in cælum,
inde detraham eos.
3 Should they hide on the top of Carmel, I shall track them down and catch them; should they hide fromme on the sea bed, I shall order the Serpent there to bite them;3 Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli,
inde scrutans auferam eos ;
et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris,
ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.
4 if their enemies herd them into captivity, I shal order the sword to kil them there, and I shall fix myeyes on them for evil and not for good.'4 Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis,
ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos :
et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum,
et non in bonum.
5 Lord Yahweh Sabaoth- he touches the earth and it melts, and al living things on it lament, as al risestogether like the Nile in Egypt and then subsides like the Egyptian Nile.5 Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet,
et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea :
et ascendet sicut rivus omnis,
et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.
6 He who builds his mansions in the heavens, supporting his vault on the earth; who summons thewaters of the sea and pours them over the surface of the land: Yahweh is his name.6 Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam,
et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit ;
qui vocat aquas maris,
et effundit eas super faciem terræ :
Dominus nomen ejus.
7 Are not you and the Cushites all the same to me, children of Israel? - declares Yahweh. Did I not bringIsrael up from Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?7 Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum
vos estis mihi, filii Israël ? ait Dominus.
Numquid non Israël ascendere feci de terra Ægypti,
et Palæstinos de Cappadocia,
et Syros de Cyrene ?
8 Look, Lord Yahweh's eyes are on the sinful kingdom, I shal wipe it off the face of the earth, although Ishall not destroy the House of Jacob completely -declares Yahweh.8 Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans :
et conteram illud a facie terræ ;
verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Jacob,
dicit Dominus.
9 For look, I shall give the command and shal shake out the House of Israel among al nations as asieve is shaken out without one grain fal ing on the ground.9 Ecce enim mandabo ego,
et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israël,
sicut concutitur triticum in cribro,
et non cadet lapillus super terram.
10 All the sinners of my people wil perish by the sword, who say, 'Disaster wil never approach orovertake us.'10 In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei,
qui dicunt : Non appropinquabit,
et non veniet super nos malum.
11 On that Day, I shal rebuild the tottering hut of David, make good the gaps in it, restore its ruins andrebuild it as it was in the days of old,11 In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit :
et reædificabo aperturas murorum ejus,
et ea quæ corruerant instaurabo :
et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis,
12 for them to be master of what is left of Edom and of al the nations once cal ed mine -Yahwehdeclares, and he wil perform it.12 ut possideant reliquias Idumææ, et omnes nationes :
eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos,
dicit Dominus faciens hæc.
13 The days are coming- declares Yahweh- when the ploughman wil tread on the heels of the reaper,and the treader of grapes on the heels of the sower of seed, and the mountains wil run with new wine and thehil s al flow with it.13 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et comprehendet arator messorem,
et calcator uvæ mittentem semen :
et stillabunt montes dulcedinem,
et omnes colli culti erunt.
14 I shall restore the fortunes of my people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them, theywil plant vineyards and drink their wine, they wil lay out gardens and eat their produce.14 Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israël ;
et ædificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt ;
et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum,
et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.
15 And I shal plant them in their own soil and they wil never be uprooted again from the country which Ihave given them, declares Yahweh, your God.15 Et plantabo eos super humum suam,
et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis,
dicit Dominus Deus tuus.
