VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis : factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :1 In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of Yahweh was addressed to me asfol ows,
2 Fili hominis, assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum : Leoni gentium assimilatus es,
et draconi qui est in mari :
et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis,
et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis,
et conculcabas flumina earum.
2 'Son of man, raise a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt. Say to him: "Young lion of nations, you aredestroyed! Once you were like a crocodile in the lagoons; emerging from your rivers, you churned up the waterwith your trampling and fouled their streams.
3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum,
et extraham te in sagena mea.
3 "The Lord Yahweh says this: I shal throw my net over you in a great concourse of nations; and theywil trawl you up in my net. Then I shal leave you high and dry,
4 Et projiciam te in terram ;
super faciem agri abjiciam te :
et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia cæli,
et saturabo de te bestias universæ terræ.
4 I shal throw you out into the wilds and make al the birds of heaven settle on you, and glut all thebeasts of the earth with you.
5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes,
et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.
5 I shal strew your flesh on your mountains and fil the val eys with your corruption;
6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes,
et valles implebuntur ex te.
6 I shal water the country with what flows from you, with your blood, on the mountainsides, and you wilfill the ravines.
7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum,
et nigrescere faciam stellas ejus :
solem nube tegam,
et luna non dabit lumen suum.
7 When I extinguish you I shal cover the skies and darken the stars. I shall cover the sun with cloudsand the moon wil not give its light.
8 Omnia luminaria cæli mœrere faciam super te,
et dabo tenebras super terram tuam,
dicit Dominus Deus,
cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terræ,
ait Dominus Deus.
8 I shal dim every luminary in heaven because of you and cover your country in darkness -declares theLord Yahweh.
9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum,
cum induxero contritionem tuam in gentibus super terras quas nescis.
9 "I shall grieve the heart of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, incountries unknown to you.
10 Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos,
et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te,
cum volare cœperit gladius meus super facies eorum :
et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinæ tuæ.
10 I shal stun many peoples with shock at your fate; their kings wil tremble with horror at your fate,when I brandish my sword before their eyes. The day you fal , each wil tremble in terror for his life.
11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi.
11 For the Lord Yahweh says this: The sword of the king of Babylon wil overtake you.
12 In gladiis fortium dejiciam multitudinem tuam :
inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ,
et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti,
et dissipabitur multitudo ejus.
12 I shal make your throngs of subjects fall at the swords of my warriors. They are the most barbarousof nations. They wil annihilate the pride of Egypt, and al its throngs will be destroyed.
13 Et perdam omnia jumenta ejus,
quæ erant super aquas plurimas :
et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra,
neque ungula jumentorum turbabit eas.
13 I shal also destroy al its cattle beside the plentiful waters. No human foot wil churn them, no animalfoot wil churn them up again;
14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum,
et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam,
ait Dominus Deus,
14 then I shal let their waters settle and make their rivers glide like oil -- declares the Lord Yahweh.
15 cum dedero terram Ægypti desolatam :
deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua
quando percussero omnes habitatores ejus :
et scient quia ego Dominus.
15 "When I reduce Egypt to a ruin and the country is stripped of its contents, when I strike all those wholive there, they wil know that I am Yahweh.
16 Planctus est, et plangent eum :
filiæ gentium plangent eum :
super Ægyptum et super multitudinem ejus plangent eum,
ait Dominus Deus.
16 "Such is the lament which the daughters of the nations wil raise. They wil raise it over Egypt and allits throng. This is the lament they will raise -- declares the Lord Yahweh." '

cum his qui descendunt in lacum.
