3 Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos ad iram meam, exsultantes in gloria mea.	3 I have issued orders to my sacred warriors, I have summoned my heroes to serve my anger, my proudchampions.
4 Vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populi ingentis, vox sonitus regnorum gentium congregatarum. Dominus exercituum recenset militiam belli;	4 The noise of a great crowd in the mountains, like an immense people, the tumultuous sound ofkingdoms, of nations mustering: it is Yahweh Sabaoth marshal ing the troops for battle.

6 Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini; quasi vastitas a Domino veniet.	6 Howl! For the Day of Yahweh is near, coming like devastation from Shaddai.
7 Propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis tabescet.	7 This is why al hands fal limp, why al the men are losing heart;
8 Perterrebuntur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt eos, quasi parturiens dolebunt; unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit: facies combustae vultus eorum.	8 they are panic-stricken, seized with pains and convulsions; they writhe like a woman in labour, theylook at one another appal ed, with feverish faces.

11 Et visitabo super orbem propter mala et super impios propter iniquitatem eorum; et quiescere faciam superbiam protervorum et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo.	11 I am going to punish the world for its wickedness and the wicked for their guilt, and put an end to thepride of the arrogant and humble the haughtiness of despots.
12 Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obryzo.	12 I shal make people scarcer than pure gold, human life scarcer than the gold of Ophir.
13 Super hoc caelum turbabo, et movebitur terra de loco suo in indignatione Domini exercituum et in die irae furoris eius.	13 This is why I am going to shake the heavens, why the earth wil reel on its foundations, under thewrath of Yahweh Sabaoth, the day when his anger ignites.
14 Et erit quasi damula fugiens et quasi ovis, et non erit qui congreget; unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient.	14 Then like a hunted gazel e, like sheep that nobody gathers in, everyone will head back to his people,everyone wil flee to his native land.

20 Non habitabitur usque in finem et non fundabitur usque ad generationem et generationem, nec ponet ibi tentoria Arabs, nec pastores accubare facient ibi,	20 Never again will anyone live there or reside there for al generations to come. Never again wil theArab pitch his tent there, or the shepherds bring their flocks to rest.
21 sed accubabunt ibi bestiae, et replebunt domus eorum ululae, et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi;	21 But beasts of the desert wil make their haunt there and owls fill their houses, there ostriches wil settletheir home, there goats will dance.
22 et respondebunt ibi hyaenae in aedibus eius, et thoes in delubris voluptatis. Prope est ut veniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabuntur.	22 Hyenas wil howl in its towers, jackals in its delightful palaces, for its doom is about to come and itsdays wil not last long.
