VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In die illa erit fons patens domui David et habitantibus Jerusalem,
in ablutionem peccatoris et menstruatæ.
1 'When that day comes, a fountain will be opened for the House of David and the inhabitants ofJerusalem, to wash sin and impurity away.
2 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum :
disperdam nomina idolorum de terra,
et non memorabuntur ultra :
et pseudoprophetas, et spiritum immundum auferam de terra.
2 'When that day comes -- Yahweh declares -- I shall cut off the names of the idols from the country, and they will never be remembered again; I shal also rid the country of the prophets, and of the spirit of impurity.
3 Et erit : cum prophetaverit quispiam ultra,
dicent ei pater ejus et mater ejus, qui genuerunt eum :
Non vives, quia mendacium locutus es in nomine Domini :
et configent eum pater ejus et mater ejus, genitores ejus,
cum prophetaverit.
3 Then, if anyone still goes on prophesying, his parents, his own father and mother wil say to him, "Youshall not live, since you utter lies in Yahweh's name." And even while he is prophesying, his parents, his ownfather and mother wil pierce him through.
4 Et erit : in die illa confundentur prophetæ,
unusquisque ex visione sua cum prophetaverit :
nec operientur pallio saccino, ut mentiantur :
4 When that day comes, the prophets wil al be ashamed to relate their visions when they prophesy andno longer put on their hair cloaks with intent to deceive.
5 sed dicet : Non sum propheta :
homo agricola ego sum,
quoniam Adam exemplum meum ab adolescentia mea.
5 Instead, they wil say, "I am no prophet. I am a man who til s the soil, for the land has been my livingsince I was a boy."
6 Et dicetur ei : Quid sunt plagæ istæ in medio manuum tuarum ?
Et dicet : His plagatus sum in domo eorum qui diligebant me.
6 And if anyone asks him, "What are those gashes on your chest?" he wil reply, "I got them when I was with my friends." '
7 Framea, suscitare super pastorem meum, et super virum cohærentem mihi, dicit Dominus exercituum : percute pastorem, et dispergentur oves : et convertam manum meam ad parvulos.7 Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me- declares Yahweh Sabaoth!Strike the shepherd, scatter the sheep! And I shal turn my hand against the young!
8 Et erunt in omni terra, dicit Dominus : partes duæ in ea dispergentur, et deficient : et tertia pars relinquetur in ea.8 So it wil be, throughout the country- declares Yahweh Sabaoth- two-thirds in it wil be cut off (be kil ed)and the other third wil be left.
9 Et ducam tertiam partem per ignem, et uram eos sicut uritur argentum, et probabo eos sicut probatur aurum. Ipse vocabit nomen meum, et ego exaudiam eum. Dicam : Populus meus es : et ipse dicet : Dominus Deus meus.9 I shall pass this third through the fire, refine them as silver is refined, test them as gold is tested. Hewil cal on my name and I shal answer him; I shal say, 'He is my people,' and he will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'
