NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Oraculum Babylonis, quod vidit Isaias filius Amos.	1 The burden of Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
2 Super montem decalvatum levate signum, exaltate vocem, levate manum, et ingrediantur portas ducum.	2 Over the foggy mountain lift up a sign! Raise the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers enter through the gates!
3 Ego mandavi sanctificatis meis et vocavi fortes meos ad iram meam, exsultantes in gloria mea.	3 In my wrath, I commanded my sanctified ones, and I called my strong ones, those who exult in my glory.
4 Vox multitudinis in montibus quasi populi ingentis, vox sonitus regnorum gentium congregatarum. Dominus exercituum recenset militiam belli;	4 On the mountains, there is the voice of a multitude, as if of a numerous people, a voice with the sound of kings, of nations gathered together. For the Lord of hosts has given orders to soldiers of war,
5 veniunt de terra procul a termino caeli, Dominus et vasa furoris eius, ut disperdat omnem terram.	5 to those who are arriving from a far off land, from the heights of the heavens. It is the Lord and the instruments of his fury, so that he may bring ruin to all the earth.
6 Ululate, quia prope est dies Domini; quasi vastitas a Domino veniet.	6 Wail aloud! For the day of the Lord draws near! It will arrive like a devastation from the Lord.
7 Propter hoc omnes manus dissolventur, et omne cor hominis tabescet.	7 Because of it, every hand will fail, and every heart of man will waste away and be crushed.
8 Perterrebuntur. Torsiones et dolores tenebunt eos, quasi parturiens dolebunt; unusquisque ad proximum suum stupebit: facies combustae vultus eorum.	8 Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up.
9 Ecce dies Domini venit, crudelis et indignationis plenus et irae furorisque, ad ponendam terram in solitudinem, et peccatores eius conteret de ea.	9 Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it.
10 Quoniam stellae caeli et sidera eius non expandent lumen suum; obtenebratus est sol in ortu suo, et luna non splendebit in lumine suo.	10 For the stars of the heavens, in their splendor, will not display their light. The sun will be obscured at its rising, and the moon will not shine in her brightness.
11 Et visitabo super orbem propter mala et super impios propter iniquitatem eorum; et quiescere faciam superbiam protervorum et arrogantiam fortium humiliabo.	11 And I will act against the evils of the world, and against the impious for their iniquity. And I will cause the pride of the unfaithful to cease, and I will bring down the arrogance of the strong.
12 Pretiosior erit vir auro, et homo mundo obryzo.	12 A man will be more precious than gold, and mankind will become like pure refined gold.
13 Super hoc caelum turbabo, et movebitur terra de loco suo in indignatione Domini exercituum et in die irae furoris eius.	13 For this purpose, I will stir up heaven, and the earth will be moved from its place, because of the indignation of the Lord of hosts, because of the day of his furious wrath.
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 And they will be like a doe fleeing away, or like sheep; and there will be no one who may gather them together. Each one will turn to his own people, and every one will flee to his own land.
15 Omnis, qui inventus fuerit, occidetur, et omnis, qui captus fuerit, cadet in gladio;	15 All who are found will be killed, and all who are caught unaware will fall by the sword.
16 infantes eorum allidentur in oculis eorum, diripientur domus eorum, et uxores eorum violabuntur.	16 Their infants will be thrown down violently before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be violated.
17 Ecce ego suscitabo super eos Medos, qui argentum non quaerant nec aurum velint;	17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them. They will not seek silver, nor desire gold.
18 sed arcus pueros prosternent et fructui uteri non miserebuntur.	18 Instead, with their arrows, they will put the little children to death, and they will take no pity on breastfeeding women, and their eye will not spare their children.
19 Et erit Babylon, splendor regnorum, inclita superbia Chaldaeorum, sicut cum subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorram.	19 And then Babylon, the glorious one among kingdoms, that famous pride of the Chaldeans, will be destroyed, even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 It will not be inhabited, even unto the end, and it will not be reestablished, even from generation to generation. The Arab will not pitch his tents there, nor will the shepherds take rest there.
21 sed accubabunt ibi bestiae, et replebunt domus eorum ululae, et habitabunt ibi struthiones, et pilosi saltabunt ibi;	21 Instead, the wild beasts will rest there, and their houses will be filled with serpents, and ostriches will live there, and the hairy ones will leap about there.
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 And the tawny owls will answer one another there, in its buildings, and the Sirens in its shrines of pleasure.
