The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 audite verbum Domini filii Israhel quia iudicium Domino cum habitatoribus terrae non est enim veritas et non est misericordia et non est scientia Dei in terra
1
Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel; for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness, and no knowledge of God in the land;
2 maledictum et mendacium et homicidium et furtum et adulterium inundaverunt et sanguis sanguinem tetigit
2
there is swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds and murder follows murder.
3 propter hoc lugebit terra et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea in bestia agri et in volucre caeli sed et pisces maris congregabuntur
3
Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air; and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
4 verumtamen unusquisque non iudicet et non arguatur vir populus enim tuus sicut hii qui contradicunt sacerdoti
4
Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.
5 et corrues hodie et corruet etiam propheta tecum nocte tacere feci matrem tuam
5
You shall stumble by day, the prophet also shall stumble with you by night; and I will destroy your mother.
6 conticuit populus meus eo quod non habuerit scientiam quia tu scientiam reppulisti repellam te ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi et oblita es legis Dei tui obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego
6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
7 secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo
7
The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.
8 peccata populi mei comedent et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum
8
They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.
9 et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos et visitabo super eum vias eius et cogitationes eius reddam ei
9
And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways, and requite them for their deeds.
10 et comedent et non saturabuntur fornicati sunt et non cessaverunt quoniam Dominum reliquerunt in non custodiendo
10
They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the harlot, but not multiply; because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish harlotry.
11 fornicatio et vinum et ebrietas aufert cor
11
Wine and new wine take away the understanding.
12 populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit et baculus eius adnuntiavit ei spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos et fornicati sunt a Deo suo
12
My people inquire of a thing of wood, and their staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot.
13 super capita montium sacrificabant et super colles accendebant thymiama subtus quercum et populum et terebinthum quia bona erat umbra eius ideo fornicabuntur filiae vestrae et sponsae vestrae adulterae erunt
13
They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and make offerings upon the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
14 non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatae et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus versabantur et cum effeminatis sacrificabant et populus non intellegens vapulabit
14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
15 si fornicaris tu Israhel non delinquat saltim Iuda et nolite ingredi in Galgala et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven neque iuraveritis vivit Dominus
15
Though you play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-a'ven, and swear not, "As the LORD lives."
16 quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israhel nunc pascet eos Dominus quasi agnum in latitudine
16
Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?
17 particeps idolorum Ephraim dimitte eum
17
E'phraim is joined to idols, let him alone.
18 separatum est convivium eorum fornicatione fornicati sunt dilexerunt adferre ignominiam protectores eius
18
A band of drunkards, they give themselves to harlotry; they love shame more than their glory.
19 ligavit spiritus eam in alis suis et confundentur a sacrificiis suis
19
A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
