NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Descende, sede in pulvere,
virgo filia Babylon;
sede in terra sine solio,
filia Chaldaeorum,
quia ultra non vocaberis
mollis et tenera.
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Tolle molam et mole farinam;
depone velum tuum,
subleva stolam, revela crura,
transi flumina.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Revelabitur ignominia tua,
et videbitur opprobrium tuum.
“ Ultionem capiam,
nemini parcam ”,
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
4 dicit Redemptor noster, Dominus exercituum nomen illius,
Sanctus Israel.
4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sede tacens et intra in tenebras,
filia Chaldaeorum,
quia non vocaberis ultra
Domina regnorum.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 Iratus sum super populum meum,
contaminavi hereditatem meam
et dedi eos in manu tua;
non posuisti eis misericordias,
super senem aggravasti iugum tuum valde
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 et dixisti: “ In sempiternum ero domina ”.
Non posuisti haec super cor tuum
neque recordata es novissimi tui.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 Et nunc audi haec, delicata,
quae habitas confidenter
et dicis in corde tuo:
“ Ego, et praeter me non est altera, non sedebo vidua et orbitatem ignorabo”.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 Venient tibi duo haec
subito in die una,
orbitas et viduitas;
repente venerunt super te
propter multitudinem maleficiorum tuorum,
propter abundantiam incantationum tuarum.
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 Et fiduciam habuisti in malitia tua
et dixisti: “ Non est qui videat me ”.
Sapientia tua et scientia tua,
haec decepit te.
Et dixisti in corde tuo:
“ Ego, et praeter me non est altera ”.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Veniet super te malum,
et nescies avertere;
et irruet super te calamitas,
quam non poteris expiare;
veniet super te repente
miseria, quam nescies.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Sta cum incantationibus tuis
et cum multitudine maleficiorum tuorum,
in quibus laborasti ab adulescentia tua:
forte poteris iuvari, forte terrebis.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Defecisti in multitudine consiliorum tuorum;
stent et salvent te, qui metiuntur caelum,
qui contemplantur sidera
et annuntiant singulis noviluniis
ventura tibi.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Ecce facti sunt quasi stipula,
ignis combussit eos.
Non liberabunt seipsos
de manu flammae;
non sunt prunae, quibus calefiant,
nec focus, ut sedeant ad eum.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Sic fiunt tibi incantatores tui,
in quibuscumque laborasti ab adulescentia tua;
unusquisque in via sua errat,
non est qui salvet te.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
