NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Accedite, gentes, ad audien dum; et populi, attendite. Audiat terra et plenitudo eius, orbis et omne germen eius.	1 O nations and peoples: draw near, and listen, and pay attention! Let the earth and its fullness hear, the entire world and all its offspring.
2 Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: ad interitum devovit eos et dedit eos in occisionem.	2 For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury is over all their armies. He has put them to death, and he has given them over to slaughter.
3 Interfecti eorum proicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet foetor; dissolventur montes sanguine eorum.	3 Their slain will be cast out, and from their carcasses a foul odor will rise up. The mountains will languish because of their blood.
4 Et tabescet omnis militia caelorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber caeli, et omnis militia eorum defluet, sicut defluit folium de vinea et arida frons de ficu.	4 And the entire army of the heavens will languish, and the heavens will be folded like a book. And their entire army will fall away, as a leaf falls from the vine or from the fig tree.
5 Quoniam inebriatus est in caelo gladius meus: ecce super Edom descendet et super populum interfectionis meae ad iudicium.	5 “For my sword in heaven has been inebriated. Behold, it will descend upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter, unto judgment.”
6 Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum et hircorum, de adipe viscerum arietum; victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in terra Edom.	6 The sword of the Lord has been filled with blood. It has been thickened by the blood of lambs and he-goats, by the innermost blood of rams. For the victim of the Lord is in Bozrah, and a great slaughter is in the land of Edom.
7 Cadunt bubali cum eis, iuvenci cum tauris; inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium,	7 And the single-horned beasts will descend with them, and the bulls along with the mighty. Their land will be inebriated by blood, and their ground by the fat of their lazy ones.
8 quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum ad vindicandam Sion.	8 For this is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of retribution for the judgment of Zion.
9 Et convertentur torrentes eius in picem, et humus eius in sulphur, et erit terra eius in picem ardentem.	9 And its torrents will be turned into tar, and its soil into sulfur. And its land will become burning tar.
10 Nocte et die non exstinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus eius, a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in saecula saeculorum non erit transiens per eam.	10 Night and day, it will not be extinguished; its smoke will rise up without ceasing. From generation to generation it will remain desolate. No one will pass through it, forever and ever.
11 Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus et ericius, noctua et corvus habitabunt in ea; et extendet super eam mensuram solitudinis et perpendiculum desolationis.	11 The pelican and the hedgehog will possess it. And the ibis and the raven will live in it. And a measuring line will be extended over it, so that it may be reduced to nothing, and a plumb line, unto desolation.
12 Nobiles eius non erunt, nec regnum proclamabunt; et omnes principes eius erunt in nihilum.	12 Its nobles will not be in that place. Instead, they will call upon the king, and all its leaders will be as nothing.
13 Et orientur in domibus eius spinae, urticae et paliurus in munitionibus eius; et erit cubile draconum et pascua struthionum.	13 And thorns and nettles will rise up in its houses, and the thistle in its fortified places. And it will be the lair of serpents and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Et occurrent hyaenae thoibus, et pilosus clamat ad amicum suum; ibi cubat lamia et invenit sibi requiem.	14 And demons and monsters will meet, and the hairy ones will cry out to one another. There, the ogress has lain down and found rest for herself.
15 Ibi nidificat serpens ovaque deponit et circumfodit et fovet in umbra eius; illuc congregantur milvi alter ad alterum.	15 In that place, the hedgehog has kept its den, and has raised its young, and has dug around them, and has kept them warm in its shadow. In that place, the birds of prey have joined together, one to another.
16 Requirite in libro Domini et legite: unum ex eis non deest, alter alterum exspectare non debet; quia os Domini praecepit, et spiritus eius ipse congregavit ea.	16 Search and read diligently in the book of the Lord. Not one of them was lacking; not one has sought for the other. For what has proceeded from my mouth, he has commanded, and his very Spirit has gathered them.
17 Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus eius divisit terram illis in mensura; usque in aeternum possidebunt eam, in generatione et generatione habitabunt in ea.	17 And he has cast lots over them. And his hand has distributed this to them by measure. They will possess it, even unto eternity. From generation to generation, they will dwell in it.
