2 “ Auferens auferam omnia a facie terrae, dicit Dominus,	2 I will completely sweep away all things from the face of the earth, says the LORD.
3 auferam hominem et pecus, auferam volatile caeli et pisces maris. Et ruinae impiorum erunt; et disperdam homines a facie terrae, dicit Dominus.	3 I will sweep away man and beast, I will sweep away the birds of the sky, and the fishes of the sea. I will overthrow the wicked; I will destroy mankind from the face of the earth, says the LORD.
4 Et extendam manum meam super Iudam et super omnes habitantes Ierusalem; et disperdam de loco hoc reliquias Baal et nomina aedituorum cum sacerdotibus	4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; I will destroy from this place the last vestige of Baal, the very names of his priests.
5 et eos, qui adorant super tecta militiam caeli et adorant et iurant in Domino et iurant in Melchom,	5 And those who adore the host of heaven on the roofs, with those who adore the LORD but swear by Milcom;
6 et qui avertuntur de post tergum Domini, et qui non quaerunt Dominum nec investigant eum ”.	6 And those who have fallen away from the LORD, and those who do not seek the LORD.
7 Silete a facie Domini Dei, quia iuxta est dies Domini; quia praeparavit Dominus hostiam, sanctificavit vocatos suos.	7 Silence in the presence of the Lord GOD! for near is the day of the LORD, Yes, the LORD has prepared a slaughter feast, he has consecrated his guests.
8 “ Et erit in die hostiae Domini: visitabo super principes et super filios regis et super omnes, qui induti sunt veste peregrina;	8 On the day of the LORD'S slaughter feast I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all that dress in foreign apparel.
9 et visitabo super omnem, qui arroganter ingreditur super limen in die illa, qui complent domum domini sui iniquitate et dolo.	9 I will punish, on that day, all who leap over the threshold, Who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
10 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, vox clamoris a porta Piscium, et ululatus ab urbe Nova, et contritio magna a collibus.	10 On that day, says the LORD, A cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the New Quarter, loud crashing from the hills.
11 Ululate, habitatores Pilae, quia interiit omnis populus Chanaan, disperierunt omnes involuti argento.	11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! for all the merchants will be destroyed, all who weigh out silver, done away with.
12 Et erit in tempore illo: scrutabor Ierusalem in lucernis et visitabo super viros defixos in faecibus suis, qui dicunt in cordibus suis: “Non faciet bene Dominus et non faciet male”.	12 At that time I will explore Jerusalem with lamps; I will punish the men who thicken on their lees, Who say in their hearts, "Neither good nor evil can the LORD do."
13 Et erunt opes eorum in direptionem, et domus eorum in desertum; et aedificabunt domos et non habitabunt, et plantabunt vineas et non bibent vinum earum ”.	13 Their wealth shall be given to pillage and their houses to devastation; They will build houses, but shall not dwell in them, plant vineyards, but not drink their wine,
14 Iuxta est dies Domini magnus, iuxta et velox nimis; vox diei Domini amara, tribulabitur ibi fortis.	14 Near is the great day of the LORD, near and very swiftly coming, Hark, the day of the LORD! bitter, then, the warrior's cry.
15 Dies irae dies illa, dies tribulationis et angustiae, dies vastitatis et desolationis, dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nebulae et turbinis,	15 A day of wrath is that day a day of anguish and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, A day of thick black clouds,
16 dies tubae et clangoris super civitates munitas et super angulos excelsos.	16 a day of trumpet blasts and battle alarm Against fortified cities, against battlements on high.
17 Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut caeci, quia Domino peccaverunt; et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus, et viscera eorum sicut stercora.	17 I will hem men in till they walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their brains like dung.
18 Sed et argentum eorum et aurum eorum non poterit liberare eos in die irae Domini; in igne zeli eius devorabitur omnis terra, quia consummationem cum festinatione faciet cunctis habitantibus terram.	18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to save them on the day of the LORD'S wrath, When in the fire of his jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. For he shall make an end, yes, a sudden end, of all who live on the earth.
