| [1]Draw near, ye nations; and hearken, ye princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein. |
[1]Accedite, gentes, et audite; et populi, attendite: audiat terra, et plenitudo ejus; orbis, et omne germen ejus. |
| [2]For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and his anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter. |
[2]Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes, et furor super universam militiam eorum: interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem. |
| [3]And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their ill savour shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood. |
[3]Interfecti eorum projicientur, et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor; tabescent montes a sanguine eorum. |
| [4]And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig-tree. |
[4]Et tabescet omnis militia cælorum, et complicabuntur sicut liber cæli: et omnis militia eorum defluet, sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu. |
| [5]My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and with judgment upon the people doomed to destruction. |
[5]Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus; ecce super Idumæam descendet, et super populum interfectionis meæ, ad judicium. |
| [6]The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a great slaughter in Idumea. |
[6]Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine, incrassatus est adipe, de sanguine agnorum et hircorum, de sanguine medullatorum arietum: victima enim Domini in Bosra, et interfectio magna in terra Edom. |
| [7]And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat. |
[7]Et descendent unicornes cum eis, et tauri cum potentibus; inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine, et humus eorum adipe pinguium. |
| [8]For it is the day of judgment of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgment. |
[8]Quia dies ultionis Domini, annus retributionum judicii Sion. |
| [9]And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day; |
[9]Et convertentur torrentes ejus in picem, et humus ejus in sulphur; et erit terra ejus in picem ardentem. |
| [10]and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations, |
[10]Nocte et die non extinguetur, in sempiternum ascendet fumus ejus, a generatione in generationem desolabitur, in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam. |
| [11]and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it. |
[11]Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus et ericius; ibis et corvus habitabunt in ea: et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem. |
| [12]Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed. |
[12]Nobiles ejus non erunt ibi; regem potius invocabunt, et omnes principes ejus erunt in nihilum. |
| [13]And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches. |
[13]Et orientur in domibus ejus spinæ et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus ejus; et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum. |
| [14]And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves a place of rest. |
[14]Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris, et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum; ibi cubavit lamia, et invenit sibi requiem. |
| [15]There has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces. |
[15]Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos, et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra ejus; illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum. |
| [16]They passed by in full number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit gathered them. |
[16]Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite: Unum ex eis non defuit, alter alterum non quæsivit; quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit, et spiritus ejus ipse congregavit ea. |
| [17]And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out their pasture, saying, Ye shall inherit the land for ever: they shall rest on it through all generations. |
[17]Et ipse misit eis sortem, et manus ejus divisit eam illis in mensuram: usque in æternum possidebunt eam; in generationem et generationem habitabunt in ea. |
