NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 “ Vae, filii desertores, dicitDominus, eo quod facitis consilium et non ex me, et pactum statuitis et non per spiritum meum, ut addatis peccatum super peccatum!	1 “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin!
2 Qui ambulatis, ut descendatis in Aegyptum, et os meum non interrogastis, sperantes auxilium in fortitudine pharaonis et habentes fiduciam in umbra Aegypti.	2 You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my mouth, instead hoping for assistance from the strength of Pharaoh and placing trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Et erit vobis fortitudo pharaonis in confusionem, et fiducia sub umbra Aegypti in ignominiam.	3 And so, the strength of Pharaoh will be your confusion, and trust in the shadow of Egypt will be your disgrace.
4 Cum fuerint enim in Tani principes tui, et nuntii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerint,	4 For your leaders were at Tanis, and your messengers have traveled even as far as Hanes.
5 omnes confundentur super populo, qui eis prodesse non potest; non erit in auxilium et in utilitatem sed in confusionem et opprobrium ”.	5 They have all been confounded because of a people who were not able to offer profit to them, who were not of assistance, nor of other usefulness, except to offer confusion and reproach.
6 Oraculum iumentorum Nageb. In terra tribulationis et angustiae, leaenae et leonis rugientis, viperae et draconis volantis portant super umeros iumentorum divitias suas et super gibbum camelorum thesauros suos ad populum, qui eis prodesse non poterit.	6 The burden of the beasts in the south. In a land of tribulation and anguish, from which go forth the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying king snake, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts of burden, and their valuables upon the humps of camels, to a people who are not able to offer profit to them.
7 Aegyptus enim frustra et vane auxiliabitur; ideo vocavi Rahab otiosam.	7 For Egypt will offer assistance, but without purpose or success. Therefore, concerning this, I cried out: “It is only arrogance! Remain calm.”
8 Nunc ingredere, scribe coram eis super buxum et in libro diligenter exara illud, et erit in posterum in testimonium usque in aeternum.	8 Now, therefore, enter and write for them upon a tablet, and note it diligently in a book, and this shall be a testimony in the last days, and even unto eternity.
9 Populus enim rebellis est, et filii mendaces, filii nolentes audire legem Domini;	9 For they are a people who provoke to wrath, and they are lying sons, sons unwilling to listen to the law of God.
10 qui dicunt videntibus: “ Nolite videre ” et aspicientibus: “ Nolite aspicere nobis ea, quae recta sunt; loquimini nobis placentia, aspicite nobis illusiones.	10 They say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to those who behold: “Do not behold for us the things that are right. Speak to us of pleasing things. See errors for us.
11 Recedite a via, declinate a semita, tollite a facie nostra Sanctum Israel ”.	11 Take me from the way. Avert me from the path. Let the Holy One of Israel cease from before our face.”
12 Propterea haec dicit Sanctus Israel: “ Pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc et sperastis in perversitatem et in perfidiam et innixi estis super eis,	12 Because of this, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Since you have rejected this word, and you have hoped in calumny and rebellion, and since you have depended upon these things,
13 propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens, locus tumens in muro excelso, cuius confractio subito, dum non speratur, venit improviso;	13 for this reason, this iniquity will be to you like a breach that has fallen, and like a gap in a high wall. For its destruction will happen suddenly, when it is not expected.
14 et comminuetur, sicut conteritur lagoena figuli, contritione absque misericordia, et non invenietur de fragmentis eius testa, in qua capiatur igniculus de incendio, aut hauriatur aqua de fovea ”.	14 And it will be crushed, just as the earthen vessel of a potter is destroyed by a sharp blow. And not even a fragment of its earthenware will be found, which might carry a little fire from the hearth, or which might draw a little water from a hollow.
15 Quia haec dixit Dominus Deus, Sanctus Israel: “ In conversione et quiete salvi eritis; in silentio et in spe erit fortitudo vestra ”. Et noluistis	15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!
16 et dixistis: “ Nequaquam, sed super equis fugiemus ”, ideo fugietis; et: “ Super veloces ascendemus ”, ideo veloces erunt, qui persequentur vos.	16 And you have said: “Never! Instead, we will flee by horseback.” For this reason, you will be put to flight. And you have said, “We will climb upon swift ones.” For this reason, those who pursue you will be even swifter.
17 Mille pavebunt a facie terroris unius, et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus in vertice montis et quasi signum super collem.	17 A thousand men will flee in terror from the face of one, and you will flee in terror from the face of five, until you who have been left behind are like the mast of a ship at the top of a mountain, or like a sign on a hill.
18 Propterea exspectat Dominus, ut misereatur vestri, et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis, quia Deus iudicii Dominus; beati omnes, qui exspectant eum.	18 Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Nam, popule Sion, qui habitas in Ierusalem, plorans nequaquam plorabis: miserans miserebitur tui ad vocem clamoris tui; statim ut audierit, respondebit tibi.	19 For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.
20 Et dabit vobis Dominus panem angustiae et aquam afflictionis, sed non amplius avolabit a te doctor tuus; et erunt oculi tui videntes praeceptorem tuum,	20 And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.
21 et aures tuae audient verbum post tergum monentis: “ Haec via, ambulate in ea ”, si declinaveritis ad dexteram vel ad sinistram.	21 And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”
22 Et contaminabis laminas sculptilium argentorum tuorum et vestimentum conflatilis aurei tui; disperges ea sicut immunditiam menstruatae. “ Egredere ” dices ei.	22 And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!”
23 Et dabit pluviam semini tuo, quod seminaveris in terra, et panis frugum terrae erit uberrimus et pinguis; pascetur pecus tuum in die illo, agnus in pascuis spatiosis,	23 And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.
24 et boves tui et asini, qui operantur terram, commixtum migma comedent ventilatum in pala et ventilabro.	24 And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.
25 Et erunt super omnem montem excelsum et super omnem collem elevatum rivi currentium aquarum in die interfectionis multorum, cum ceciderint turres.	25 And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.
26 Et erit lux lunae sicut lux solis, et lux solis erit septempliciter sicut lux septem dierum in die, qua alligaverit Dominus vulnus populi sui et percussuram plagae eius sanaverit.	26 And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
27 Ecce nomen Domini venit de longinquo, ardens furor eius, et gravis eius fragor; labia eius repleta sunt indignatione, et lingua eius quasi ignis devorans.	27 Behold, the name of the Lord arrives from far away. His fury is burning and heavy to bear. His lips have been filled with indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 Spiritus eius velut torrens inundans, usque ad collum pertingens, ad cribrandas gentes in cribro funesto, et frenum dolosum in maxillis populorum.	28 His Spirit is like a torrent, inundating, even as high as the middle of the neck, in order to reduce the nations to nothing, along with the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
29 Canticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificatae sollemnitatis, et laetitia cordis sicut eius, qui ad sonum tibiae pergit in montem Domini, ad petram Israel.	29 There will be a song for you, as in the night of a sanctified solemnity, and a joy of heart, as when one travels with music to arrive at the mountain of the Lord, to the Strong One of Israel.
30 Et auditam faciet Dominus gloriam vocis suae et terrorem brachii sui ostendet in comminatione furoris et flamma ignis devorantis, in turbine et in imbre et in lapide grandinis.	30 And the Lord will cause the glory of his voice to be heard, and, with a threatening fury and a devouring flame of fire, he will reveal the terror of his arm. He will crush with the whirlwind and with hailstones.
31 A voce enim Domini pavebit Assyrius virga percussus.	31 For at the voice of the Lord, Assur will dread being struck with the staff.
32 Et erit omnis ictus baculi percutientis, quem requiescere faciet Dominus super eum in tympanis et citharis, et in bellis agitatis expugnabit eos.	32 And when the passage of the staff has been begun, the Lord will cause it to rest upon him, with timbrels and harps. And with special battles, he will fight against them.
33 Praeparata est enim ab heri Topheth, praeparata, profunda et dilatata, in pyra eius ignis et ligna multa; flatus Domini sicut torrens sulphuris succendit eam.	33 For a burning place, deep and wide, has been prepared from yesterday, prepared by the King. Its nourishment is fire and much wood. The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, kindles it.
