NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna dicens: “ Appro pinquaveruntvisitationes urbis, et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua ”.	1 And he cried out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: “The visitations of the city have drawn near, and each one has equipment for killing in his hand.”
2 Et ecce sex viri veniebant de via portae superioris, quae respicit ad aquilonem,et uniuscuiusque vas interitus in manu eius; vir quoque unus in medio eorumvestitus lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius; et ingressi sunt etsteterunt iuxta altare aereum.	2 And behold, six men were approaching from the way of the upper gate, which looks to the north. And each one had equipment for killing in his hand. Also, one man in their midst was clothed with linen, and an instrument for writing was at his waist. And they entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Et gloria Dei Israel elevata est de cherub,super quem erat, ad limen domus; et vocavit virum, qui indutus erat lineis etatramentarium scriptoris habebat in lumbis suis.	3 And the glory of the Lord of Israel was taken up, from the cherub upon which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called out to the man who was clothed with linen and had an instrument for writing at his waist.
4 Et dixit Dominus ad eum: “Transi per mediam civitatem in medio Ierusalem et signa thau super frontesvirorum gementium et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus, quae fiunt inmedio eius ”.	4 And the Lord said to him: “Cross through the middle of the city, in the center of Jerusalem, and seal a Tau upon the foreheads of the grieving men, who are mourning over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
5 Et illis dixit, audiente me: “ Transite per civitatemsequentes eum et percutite; non parcat oculus vester, neque misereamini:	5 And he said to the others, in my hearing: “Cross through the city after him, and strike! Your eye shall not be lenient, and you shall not take pity.
6 senem, adulescentulum et virginem et parvulum et mulieres interficite usque adinternecionem; omnem autem, super quem videritis thau, ne occidatis, et asanctuario meo incipite ”. Coeperunt ergo a viris senioribus, qui erant antefaciem domus.	6 Kill, even to utter destruction, old men, young men, and virgins, little ones, and women. But all upon whom see the Tau, you shall not kill. And begin from my sanctuary.” Therefore, they began with the men among the elders, who were before the face of the house.
7 Et dixit ad eos: “Contaminate domum et implete atriainterfectis. Egredimini ”. Et egressi sunt et percutiebant eos, qui erant incivitate.	7 And he said to them: “Defile the house, and fill its courts with the slain! Go forth!” And they went forth and struck down those who were in the city.
8 Et caede completa, remansi ego ruique super faciem meam et clamans aio: “Heu,Domine Deus! Ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israel, effundens furorem tuumsuper Ierusalem? ”.	8 And when the slaughter was completed, I remained. And I fell upon my face, and crying out, I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you now destroy the entire remnant of Israel, by pouring out your fury upon Jerusalem?”
9 Et dixit ad me: “ Iniquitas domus Israel et Iudaemagna est nimis valde; et repleta est terra sanguinibus, et civitas repleta estiniustitia. Dixerunt enim: “Dereliquit Dominus terram, et Dominus non videt”;	9 And he said to me: “The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Judah, is vast and exceedingly great, and the land has been filled with blood, and the city has been filled with what is abhorrent. For they have said: ‘The Lord has forsaken the earth,’ and, ‘The Lord does not see.’
10 igitur et meus non parcet oculus, neque miserebor: viam eorum super caputeorum reddam ”.	10 Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
11 Et ecce vir, qui indutus erat lineis, qui habebatatramentarium in lumbis suis, respondit verbum dicens: “ Feci, sicutpraecepisti mihi ”.	11 And behold, the man who was clothed with linen, who had a writing instrument at his back, responded a word, saying: “I have done just as you instructed me.”
