CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINNOVA VULGATA
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.1 Vae, qui tranquilli sunt in Sion
et confidunt in monte Samariae;
designati primitiae populorum,
ad quos venit domus Israel!
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.2 Transite in Chalanne et videte;
et ite inde in Emath magnam
et descendite in Geth Palaestinorum.
Numquid meliores regnis istis vos,
aut latior terminus eorum termino vestro est?
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.3 Qui removetis diem malum
et appropinquare facitis solium violentiae.
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.4 Qui dormiunt in lectis eburneis,
recumbentes in stratis suis,
comedentes agnos de grege
et vitulos de medio armenti;
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.5 canentes ad vocem psalterii,
sicut David excogitant sibi vasa cantici;
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.6 bibentes vinum in phialis,
optimis unguentis delibuti,
et non sunt contristati super ruina Ioseph.
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.7 Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium,
et auferetur factio lascivientium.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.8 Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua,
dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum:
“ Detestor ego superbiam Iacob
et domos eius odi
et tradam civitatem et plenitudinem eius ”.
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.9 Quod si reliqui fuerint
decem viri in domo una,
et ipsi morientur;
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?”10 et tollet eum propinquus suus
et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo,
et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est:
“ Numquid adhuc est penes te? ”.
Et respondebit: “Non est”;
et dicet ei: “Tace!”;
non est qui recordetur nominis Domini.
11 And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”11 Quia ecce Dominus mandat
et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis
et domum minorem scissionibus.
12 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.12 Numquid currunt in petris equi,
aut aratur mare in bobus,
quoniam convertistis in venenum iudicium
et fructum iustitiae in absinthium?
13 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.13 Qui laetantur pro Lodabar,
qui dicunt: “ Numquid non in fortitudine nostra
cepimus nobis Carnaim? ”.
14 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”14 “ Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israel,
dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum, gentem;
et oppriment vos ab introitu Emath
usque ad torrentem Arabae ”.
15 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
