NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Oraculum.
“ Verbum Domini in terra Ha drach
et Damasci requiei eius,
quia Domini est oculus Aram
sicut omnes tribus Israel.
1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.
2 Emath quoque in terminis eius
et Tyrus et Sidon, quae sapiens est valde.
2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
3 Et aedificavit Tyrus munitionem suam
et coacervavit argentum quasi pulverem
et aurum ut lutum platearum.
3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Ecce Dominus possidebit eam
et percutiet in mari fortitudinem eius;
et haec igni devorabitur.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Videbit Ascalon et timebit,
et Gaza dolore torquetur nimis,
et Accaron, quoniam confusa est spes eius;
et peribit rex de Gaza,
et Ascalon non habitabitur.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 Et habitabit spurius in Azoto,
et disperdam superbiam Philisthim.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Et auferam sanguinem eius de ore eius
et abominationes eius de medio dentium eius,
et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro,
et erit quasi dux in Iuda,
et Accaron quasi Iebusaeus.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Et circumdabo domum meam ut praesidium
contra euntes et revertentes;
et non transibit super eos ultra exactor,
quia nunc vidi in oculis meis.
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
9 Exsulta satis, filia Sion;
iubila, filia Ierusalem.
Ecce rex tuus venit tibi
iustus et salvator ipse,
pauper et sedens super asinum
et super pullum filium asinae.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 Et disperdam currum ex Ephraim
et equum de Ierusalem;
et confringetur arcus belli,
et loquetur pacem gentibus.
Et imperium eius a mari usque ad mare
et a flumine usque ad fines terrae.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth.
11 Tu quoque: in sanguine testamenti tui
extraho vinctos tuos de lacu,
in quo non est aqua.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Convertimini ad munitionem,
vincti spei;
hodie quoque annuntians:
Duplicia reddam tibi.
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
13 Nam extendi mihi Iudam quasi arcum,
implevi Ephraim;
et suscitabo filios tuos, Sion,
super filios tuos, Graecia,
et ponam te quasi gladium fortium.
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 Et Dominus super eos videbitur,
et exibit ut fulgur iaculum eius;
et Dominus Deus in tuba canet
et vadet in procellis austri.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 Dominus exercituum proteget eos;
et devorabunt et conculcabunt lapides fundae
et bibent, agitabuntur quasi vino
et replebuntur ut phialae et quasi cornua altaris.
15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
16 Et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum
in die illa
ut gregem populi sui,
quia lapides coronae
fulgebunt super terram eius.
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
17 Quid enim bonum eius est,
et quid pulchrum eius!
Frumentum succrescere facit iuvenes,
et mustum virgines.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
