Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition NOVA VULGATA
1 The word of the LORD came to me:1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
2 "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;2 “ Fili hominis, duaemulieres filiae matris unius fuerunt
3 they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled.3 et fornicatae sunt in Aegypto, inadulescentia sua fornicatae sunt; ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et tactae suntmammae virginitatis earum.
4 Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.4 Nomina autem earum Oolla maior et Ooliba sororeius; et habui eas, et pepererunt filios et filias: porro earum nomina SamariaOolla et Ierusalem Ooliba.
5 "Oholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she doted on her lovers the Assyrians,5 Fornicata est igitur Oolla discedens a me; etinsanivit in amatores suos, in Assyrios: bellatores
6 warriors clothed in purple, governors and commanders, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.6 vestitos hyacintho,principes et magistratus, iuvenes desiderabiles universi, equites ascensoresequorum.
7 She bestowed her harlotries upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and she defiled herself with all the idols of every one on whom she doted.7 Et dedit fornicationes suas ad eos electos filiorum Assyriaeuniversos; et apud omnes, in quos insanivit, in omnibus idolis eorum pollutaest.
8 She did not give up her harlotry which she had practiced since her days in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.8 Insuper et fornicationes suas, quas habuerat in Aegypto, non reliquit;nam et illi dormierunt cum ea in adulescentia eius, et illi tetigerant uberavirginitatis eius et effuderant fornicationem suam super eam.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.9 Proptereatradidi eam in manus amatorum suorum, in manus filiorum Assyriae, in quosinsanivit;
10 These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword; and she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed upon her.10 ipsi discooperuerunt ignominiam eius, filios et filias illiustulerunt et ipsam occiderunt gladio; et facta est famosa mulieribus, et iudiciaperpetrarunt in ea.
11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt than she in her doting and in her harlotry, which was worse than that of her sister.11 Quod cum vidisset soror eius Ooliba, plus quam illa insanivit libidine etfornicatione sua super fornicationem sororis suae.
12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.12 In filios Assyriorum amoreexarsit: duces et magistratus, bellatores indutos veste pretiosa, equites, quivectabantur equis, adulescentes cuncti desiderabiles.
13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way.13 Et vidi quod pollutaesset: via una ambarum;
14 But she carried her harlotry further; she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,14 et auxit fornicationes suas. Cumque vidisset virosdepictos in pariete, imagines Chaldaeorum expressas sinopide,
15 girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, a picture of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea.15 et accinctosbalteis renes, et tiaras defluentes in capitibus eorum; aspectus essedariorumomnibus, similitudo filiorum Babylonis, quorum patria Chaldaea.
16 When she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.16 Et insanivitsuper eos concupiscentia oculorum suorum et misit nuntios ad eos in Chaldaeam.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their lust; and after she was polluted by them, she turned from them in disgust.17 Cumque venissent ad eam filii Babylonis ad cubile amoris, polluerunt eamstupris suis; et, cum polluta esset ab eis, recessit anima eius ab illis.
18 When she carried on her harlotry so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned from her sister.18 Cummanifestasset fornicationes suas et discooperuisset ignominiam suam, recessitanima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore eius.
19 Yet she increased her harlotry, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt19 Multiplicavitautem fornicationes suas, recordans dies adulescentiae suae, quibus fornicataest in terra Aegypti;
20 and doted upon her paramours there, whose members were like those of asses, and whose issue was like that of horses.20 et insanivit libidine in amatores suos, quorum membrasunt ut membra asinorum, et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts."21 Et desiderastiscelus adulescentiae tuae, quando subacta sunt in Aegypto ubera tua, et tactaemammae pubertatis tuae.
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will rouse against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side:22 Propterea, Ooliba, haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego suscitabo amatores tuoscontra te, de quibus recessit anima tua; et congregabo eos adversum te incircuitu,
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and warriors, all of them riding on horses.23 filios Babylonis et universos Chaldaeos, Phacud et Sue et Cue,omnes filios Assyriorum cum eis, iuvenes desiderabiles, duces et magistratusuniversos, essedarios et nominatos, ascensores equorum omnes.
24 And they shall come against you from the north with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples; they shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet, and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.24 Et venientsuper te instructi curru et rota, cum multitudine populorum; scuto et clipeo etgalea armabuntur contra te undique, et dabo coram eis iudicium, et iudicabunt teiudiciis suis.
25 And I will direct my indignation against you, that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire.25 Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore:nasum tuum et aures tuas praecident et, quae remanserint de te, gladioconcident; ipsi filios tuos et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuumdevorabitur igni.
26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your fine jewels.26 Et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis et tollent vasa gloriaetuae;
27 Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to the Egyptians or remember them any more.27 et cessare faciam scelus tuum de te et fornicationem tuam de terraAegypti, nec levabis oculos tuos ad eos et Aegypti non recordaberis amplius.
28 For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust;28 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego tradam te in manu eorum, quos odisti, inmanu, de quibus recessit anima tua;
29 and they shall deal with you in hatred, and take away all the fruit of your labor, and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your harlotry29 et agent tecum in odio et tollent omneslabores tuos et dimittent te nudam et ignominia plenam, et revelabitur ignominiafornicationum tuarum, scelus tuum et fornicationes tuae.
30 have brought this upon you, because you played the harlot with the nations, and polluted yourself with their idols.30 Fecerunt haec tibi,quia fornicata es post gentes, inter quas polluta es in idolis earum.
31 You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.31 In viasororis tuae ambulasti, et dabo calicem eius in manu tua.
32 Thus says the Lord GOD: "You shall drink your sister's cup which is deep and large; you shall be laughed at and held in derision, for it contains much;32 Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
Calicem sororis tuae bibes
profundum et latum
C eris in derisum et in subsannationem C:
est capacissimus.
33 you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow. A cup of horror and desolation, is the cup of your sister Samaria;33 Ebrietate et dolore repleberis,
calice stuporis et horroris,
calice sororis tuae Samariae,
34 you shall drink it and drain it out, and pluck out your hair, and tear your breasts; for I have spoken, says the Lord GOD.34 et bibes illum et epotabis usque ad faeces;
et fragmenta eius rodes
et ubera tua lacerabis,
quia ego locutus sum ”,
ait Dominus Deus.
35 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore bear the consequences of your lewdness and harlotry."35 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: “ Quia oblita es mei et proiecisti mepost tergum tuum, tu quoque porta scelus tuum et fornicationes tuas ”.
36 The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominable deeds.36 Etait Dominus ad me: “ Fili hominis, numquid iudicas Oollam et Oolibam? Annuntiaergo eis scelera earum.
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is upon their hands; with their idols they have committed adultery; and they have even offered up to them for food the sons whom they had borne to me.37 Quia adulteratae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum,et cum idolis suis fornicatae sunt; insuper et filios suos, quos genuerunt mihi,obtulerunt eis ad devorandum.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and profaned my sabbaths.38 Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi: pollueruntsanctuarium meum in die illa et sabbata mea profanaverunt.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And lo, this is what they did in my house.39 Cumque immolarentfilios suos idolis suis et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa, utpolluerent illud, ecce haec fecerunt in medio domus meae.
40 They even sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and lo, they came. For them you bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and decked yourself with ornaments;40 Quin et miserunt adviros venientes de longe, ad quos nuntius missus erat; itaque ecce venerunt.Quibus te lavisti et circumlevisti stibio oculos tuos et ornata es mundomuliebri;
41 you sat upon a stately couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed my incense and my oil.41 sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo, et mensa ornata est ante te, thymiamameum et unguentum meum posuisti super eam.
42 The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort drunkards were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of the women, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.42 Et vox multitudinis exsultantiserat apud eam et apud viros multitudo hominum, qui adducebantur de deserto; etposuerunt armillas in manibus earum et coronas speciosas in capitibus earum.
43 "Then I said, Do not men now commit adultery when they practice harlotry with her?43 Et dixi de ea, quae attrita est in adulteriis: Nunc fornicabitur in fornicationesua etiam haec.
44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a harlot. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah to commit lewdness.44 Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem; sicingrediebantur ad Oollam et ad Oolibam, mulieres nefarias.
45 But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is upon their hands."45 Viri ergo iustisunt; hi iudicabunt eas iudicio adulterarum et iudicio effundentium sanguinem,quia adulterae sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum ”.
46 For thus says the Lord GOD: "Bring up a host against them, and make them an object of terror and a spoil.46 Haec enim dicit Dominus Deus: “ Adduc ad eas congregationem et trade eas interrorem et in rapinam;
47 And the host shall stone them and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses.47 et lapidentur lapidibus congregationis etconfodiantur gladiis eorum; filios et filias earum interficiant et domos earumigne succendant.
48 Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done.48 Et auferam scelus de terra, et discent omnes mulieres, nefaciant secundum scelus vestrum;
49 And your lewdness shall be requited upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD."49 et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos, etpeccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus ”.
