The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 "On the Big Day, a fountain will be opened for the family of David and all the leaders of Jerusalem for washing away their sins, for scrubbing their stained and soiled lives clean.
1
in die illa erit fons patens domus David et habitantibus Hierusalem in ablutionem peccatoris et menstruatae
2 "On the Big Day" - this is God-of-the-Angel-Armies speaking - "I will wipe out the store-bought gods, erase their names from memory. People will forget they ever heard of them. And I'll get rid of the prophets who polluted the air with their diseased words.
2
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus exercituum disperdam nomina idolorum de terra et non memorabuntur ultra et prophetas et spiritum inmundum auferam de terra
3 If anyone dares persist in spreading diseased, polluting words, his very own parents will step in and say, 'That's it! You're finished! Your lies about God put everyone in danger,' and then they'll stab him to death in the very act of prophesying lies about God - his own parents, mind you!
3
et erit cum prophetaverit quispiam ultra dicent ei pater eius et mater eius qui genuerunt eum non vives quia mendacium locutus es in nomine Domini et configent eum pater eius et mater eius genitores eius cum prophetaverit
4 "On the Big Day, the lying prophets will be publicly exposed and humiliated. Then they'll wish they'd never swindled people with their 'visions.' No more masquerading in prophet clothes.
4
et erit in die illa confundentur prophetae unusquisque ex visione sua cum prophetaverit nec operientur pallio saccino ut mentiantur
5 But they'll deny they've even heard of such things: 'Me, a prophet? Not me. I'm a farmer - grew up on the farm.'
5
sed dicet non sum propheta homo agricola ego sum quoniam Adam exemplum meum ab adulescentia mea
6 And if someone says, 'And so where did you get that black eye?' they'll say, 'I ran into a door at a friend's house.'
6
et dicetur ei quid sunt plagae istae in medio manuum tuarum et dicet his plagatus sum in domo eorum qui diligebant me
7 "Sword, get moving against my shepherd, against my close associate!" Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies. "Kill the shepherd! Scatter the sheep! The back of my hand against even the lambs!
7
framea suscitare super pastorem meum et super virum coherentem mihi dicit Dominus exercituum percute pastorem et dispergantur oves et convertam manum meam ad parvulos
8 All across the country" - God's Decree - "two-thirds will be devastated and one-third survive.
8
et erunt in omni terra dicit Dominus partes duae in ea disperdentur et deficient et tertia pars relinquetur in ea
9 I'll deliver the surviving third to the refinery fires. I'll refine them as silver is refined, test them for purity as gold is tested. Then they'll pray to me by name and I'll answer them personally. I'll say, 'That's my people.' They'll say, 'God - my God!'"
9
et ducam tertiam partem per ignem et uram eas 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
