NOVA VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Haec dicit Dominus:
“ Caelum thronus meus,
terra autem scabellum pedum meorum.
Quae ista domus, quam aedificabitis mihi,
et quis iste locus quietis meae?
1 Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
2 Omnia haec manus mea fecit,
et mea sunt universa ista,
dicit Dominus.
Ad hunc autem respiciam,
ad pauperculum et contritum spiritu
et trementem sermones meos.
2 My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
3 Qui immolat bovem, interficit virum;
qui sacrificat ovem, excerebrat canem;
qui offert oblationem, idemque sanguinem suillum;
qui adolet incensum, benedicit idolo.
Sicut isti elegerunt vias suas,
et in abominationibus suis anima eorum delectatur,
3 He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine's blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
4 sic ego eligam malam sortem eorum
et, quae timebant, adducam eis;
quia vocavi, et non erat qui responderet,
locutus sum, et non audierunt
feceruntque malum in oculis meis
et, quod displicet mihi, elegerunt ”.
4 Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: y because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
5 Audite verbum Domini,
qui tremitis ad verbum eius.
Dixerunt fratres vestri odientes vos
et abicientes vos propter nomen meum:
“ Gloriam suam manifestet Dominus,
ut videamus laetitiam vestram”;
ipsi autem confundentur.
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name's sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
6 Vox clamoris de civitate,
vox de templo,
vox Domini
reddentis retributionem inimicis suis.
6 A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 Antequam parturiret, peperit;
antequam veniret partus eius, peperit masculum.
7 Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
8 Quis audivit umquam tale?
Et quis vidit huic simile?
Numquid oritur terra in die una,
aut parietur gens in momento?
Quia parturivit, iam peperit Sion filios suos.
8 Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
9 “ Numquid aperiam uterum et parere non faciam? ”,
dicit Dominus.
“ Aut ego, qui parere facio, uterum claudam? ”,
ait Deus tuus.
9 Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
10 Laetamini cum Ierusalem et exsultate in ea,
omnes, qui diligitis eam;
gaudete cum ea gaudio,
universi, qui lugebatis super eam,
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
11 ut sugatis et repleamini
ab ubere consolationis eius,
ut mulgeatis et deliciis affluatis
ex uberibus gloriae eius.
11 That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus:
“ Ecce ego dirigam ad eam quasi fluvium pacem
et quasi torrentem inundantem gloriam gentium.
Sugetis, in ulnis portabimini,
et super genua blandientur vobis.
12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, end upon the knees they shall caress you.
13 Quomodo si quem mater consolatur,
ita ego consolabor vos;
et in Ierusalem consolabimini.
13 As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Videbitis, et gaudebit cor vestrum,
et ossa vestra quasi herba germinabunt,
et manifestabitur manus Domini in servis eius,
et indignabitur inimicis suis.
14 You shah see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
15 Quia ecce Dominus in igne veniet,
et quasi turbo quadrigae eius,
reddere in indignatione furorem suum
et increpationem suam in flamma ignis;
15 For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 quia in igne Dominus diiudicabit
et in gladio suo omnem carnem,
et multiplicabuntur interfecti a Domino.
16 For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 Qui sanctificantur et purificantur, ut ingrediantur
in hortos post aliquem stantem in medio,
qui comedunt carnem suillam
et abominationem et murem,
simul consumentur,
dicit Dominus.
17 They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 Ego autem cognoscens opera eorum et cogitationes eorum veniam, ut congregemomnes gentes et linguas; et venient et videbunt gloriam meam.18 But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
19 Et ponam in eissignum et mittam ex eis, qui salvati fuerint, ad gentes in Tharsis, Phut, Lud,Mosoch, Ros, Thubal et Iavan, ad insulas longinquas, ad eos, qui non audieruntde me et non viderunt gloriam meam, et annuntiabunt gloriam meam gentibus;19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
20 etadducent omnes fratres vestros de cunctis gentibus oblationem Domino, in equiset in quadrigis et in lecticis et in mulis et in dromedariis, ad montem sanctummeum Ierusalem, dicit Dominus: quomodo si inferant filii Israel oblationem invase mundo in domum Domini.20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Et assumam ex eis in sacerdotes et Levitas, dicitDominus.
21 And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
22 Quia sicut caeli novi
et terra nova, quae ego faciam,
stabunt coram me,
dicit Dominus,
sic stabit semen vestrum et nomen vestrum.
22 For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
23 Et erit: unoquoque novilunio
et quovis sabbato
veniet omnis caro, ut adoret coram facie mea,
dicit Dominus.
23 And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
24 Et egredientur et videbunt cadavera virorum,
qui praevaricati sunt in me;
nam vermis eorum non morietur,
et ignis eorum non exstinguetur,
et erunt abominationi omni carni ”.
24 And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shah not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
