The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
5 vae Assur virga furoris mei et baculus ipse in manu eorum indignatio mea
5
“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!
6 ad gentem fallacem mittam eum et contra populum furoris mei mandabo illi ut auferat spolia et diripiat praedam et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum
6
I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
7 ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur et cor eius non ita aestimabit sed ad conterendum erit cor eius et ad internicionem gentium non paucarum
7
But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.
8 dicet enim
8
‘Are not my commanders all kings?’ he says.
9 numquid non principes mei simul reges sunt numquid non ut Charchamis sic Chalanno et ut Arfad sic Emath numquid non ut Damascus sic Samaria
9
‘Has not Kalno fared like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad, and Samaria like Damascus?
10 quomodo invenit manus mea regna idoli sic et simulacra eorum de Hierusalem et de Samaria
10
As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 numquid non sicut feci Samariae et idolis eius sic faciam Hierusalem et simulacris eius
11
shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’ ”
12 et erit cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion et in Hierusalem visitabo super fructum magnifici cordis regis Assur et super gloriam altitudinis oculorum eius
12
When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.
13 dixit enim in fortitudine manus meae feci et in sapientia mea intellexi et abstuli terminos populorum et principes eorum depraedatus sum et detraxi quasi potens in sublime residentes
13
For he says: “ ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, because I have understanding. I removed the boundaries of nations, I plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their kings.
14 et invenit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum et sicut colliguntur ova quae derelicta sunt sic universam terram ego congregavi et non fuit qui moveret pinnam et aperiret os et ganniret
14
As one reaches into a nest, so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as people gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.’ ”
15 numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum qui secat in ea aut exaltabitur serra contra eum a quo trahitur quomodo si elevetur virga contra levantem se et exaltetur baculus qui utique lignum est
15
Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it, or the saw boast against the one who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the one who is not wood!
16 propter hoc mittet Dominator Deus exercituum in pinguibus eius tenuitatem et subtus gloriam eius succensa ardebit quasi conbustio ignis
16
Therefore, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors; under his pomp a fire will be kindled like a blazing flame.
17 et erit lumen Israhel in igne et Sanctus eius in flamma et succendetur et devorabitur spina eius et vepres in die una
17
The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briers.
18 et gloria saltus eius et Carmeli eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur et erit terrore profugus
18
The splendor of his forests and fertile fields it will completely destroy, as when a sick person wastes away.
19 et reliquiae ligni saltus eius pro paucitate numerabuntur et puer scribet eos
19
And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few that a child could write them down.
20 et erit in die illa non adiciet residuum Israhel et hii qui fugerint de domo Iacob inniti super eo qui percutit eos sed innitetur super Dominum Sanctum Israhel in veritate
20
In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21 reliquiae convertentur reliquiae inquam Iacob ad Deum fortem
21
A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.
22 si enim fuerit populus tuus Israhel quasi harena maris reliquiae convertentur ex eo consummatio adbreviata inundabit iustitiam
22
Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous.
23 consummationem enim et adbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terrae
23
The Lord, the LORD Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum noli timere populus meus habitator Sion ab Assur in virga percutiet te et baculum suum levabit super te in via Aegypti
24
Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 adhuc enim paululum modicumque et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum
25
Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”
26 et suscitabit super eum Dominus exercituum flagellum iuxta plagam Madian in petra Oreb et virgam suam super mare et levabit eam in via Aegypti
26
The LORD Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt.
27 et erit in die illa auferetur onus eius de umero tuo et iugum eius de collo tuo et conputrescet iugum a facie olei
27
In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.
28 veniet in Aiath transibit in Magron apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua
28
They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.
29 transierunt cursim Gabee sedes nostra obstipuit Rama Gabaath Saulis fugit
29
They go over the pass, and say, “We will camp overnight at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
30 hinni voce tua filia Gallim adtende Laisa paupercula Anathoth
30
Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!
31 migravit Medemena habitatores Gebim confortamini
31
Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.
32 adhuc dies est ut in Nob stetur agitabit manum suam super montem filiae Sion collem Hierusalem
32
This day they will halt at Nob; they will shake their fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 ecce Dominator Dominus exercituum confringet lagunculam in terrore et excelsi statura succidentur et sublimes humiliabuntur
33
See, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will lop off the boughs with great power. The lofty trees will be felled, the tall ones will be brought low.
34 et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro et Libanus cum excelsis cadet
34
He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax; Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
