New International Version NIV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Hear what the LORD says to you, people of Israel.
1
audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos domus Israhel
2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them.
2
haec dicit Dominus iuxta vias gentium nolite discere et a signis caeli nolite metuere quae timent gentes
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
3
quia leges populorum vanae sunt quia lignum de saltu praecidit opus manuum artificis in ascia
4 They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.
4
argento et auro decoravit illud clavis et malleis conpegit ut non dissolvatur
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”
5
in similitudinem palmae fabricata sunt et non loquentur portata tollentur quia incedere non valent nolite ergo timere ea quia nec male possunt facere nec bene
6 No one is like you, LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.
6
non est similis tui Domine magnus tu et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine
7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise leaders of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.
7
quis non timebit te o rex gentium tuum est enim decus inter cunctos sapientes gentium et in universis regnis eorum nullus est similis tui
8 They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols.
8
pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple— all made by skilled workers.
9
argentum involutum de Tharsis adfertur et aurum de Ofaz opus artificis et manus aerarii hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum opus artificum universa haec
10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.
10
Dominus autem Deus verus est ipse Deus vivens et rex sempiternus ab indignatione eius commovebitur terra et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem eius
11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.’ ”
11
sic ergo dicetis eis dii qui caelos et terram non fecerunt pereant de terra et de his quae sub caelis sunt
12 But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
12
qui facit terram in fortitudine sua praeparat orbem in sapientia sua et prudentia sua extendit caelos
13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
13
ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in caelo et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terrae fulgura in pluviam facit et educit ventum de thesauris suis
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them.
14
stultus factus est omnis homo ab scientia confusus est omnis artifex in sculptili quoniam falsum est quod conflavit et non est spiritus in eis
15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish.
15
vana sunt et opus risu dignum in tempore visitationis suae peribunt
16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the people of his inheritance— the LORD Almighty is his name.
16
non est his similis pars Iacob qui enim formavit omnia ipse est et Israhel virga hereditatis eius Dominus exercituum nomen illi
17 Gather up your belongings to leave the land, you who live under siege.
17
congrega de terra confusionem tuam quae habitas in obsidione
18 For this is what the LORD says: “At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured.”
18
quia haec dicit Dominus ecce ego longe proiciam habitatores terrae in hac vice et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur
19 Woe to me because of my injury! My wound is incurable! Yet I said to myself, “This is my sickness, and I must endure it.”
19
vae mihi super contritione mea pessima plaga mea ego autem dixi plane haec infirmitas mea est et portabo illam
20 My tent is destroyed; all its ropes are snapped. My children are gone from me and are no more; no one is left now to pitch my tent or to set up my shelter.
20
tabernaculum meum vastatum est omnes funiculi mei disrupti sunt filii mei exierunt a me et non subsistunt non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum et erigat pelles meas
21 The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the LORD; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.
21
quia stulte egerunt pastores et Dominum non quaesierunt propterea non intellexerunt et omnis grex eorum dispersus est
22 Listen! The report is coming— a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make the towns of Judah desolate, a haunt of jackals.
22
vox auditionis ecce venit et commotio magna de terra aquilonis ut ponat civitates Iuda solitudinem et habitaculum draconum
23 LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.
23
scio Domine quia non est hominis via eius nec viri est ut ambulet et dirigat gressus suos
24 Discipline me, LORD, but only in due measure— not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing.
24
corripe me Domine verumtamen in iudicio et non in furore tuo ne forte ad nihilum redigas me
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him completely and destroyed his homeland.
25
effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quae non cognoverunt te et super provincias quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt quia comederunt Iacob et devoraverunt eum et consumpserunt illum et decus eius dissipaverunt
