Clementine Vulgate
Berean Standard Bible
1
VUL
[Audite quæ Dominus loquitur: Surge, contende judicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam.
BSB
BSB:
Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2
VUL
Audiant montes judicium Domini, et fortia fundamenta terræ; quia judicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israël dijudicabitur.
BSB
BSB:
Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
3
VUL
Popule meus, quid feci tibi? aut quid molestus fui tibi? Responde mihi.
BSB
BSB:
‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
4
VUL
Quia eduxi te de terra Ægypti, et de domo servientium liberavi te, et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen, et Aaron, et Mariam.
BSB
BSB:
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
5
VUL
Popule meus, memento, quæso, quid cogitaverit Balach, rex Moab, et quid responderit ei Balaam, filius Beor, de Setim usque ad Galgalam, ut cognosceres justitias Domini.
BSB
BSB:
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
6
VUL
Quid dignum offeram Domino? curvabo genu Deo excelso? Numquid offeram ei holocautomata et vitulos anniculos?
BSB
BSB:
With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
7
VUL
numquid placari potest Dominus in millibus arietum, aut in multis millibus hircorum pinguium? numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo, fructum ventris mei pro peccato animæ meæ?
BSB
BSB:
Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8
VUL
Indicabo tibi, o homo, quid sit bonum, et quid Dominus requirat a te: utique facere judicium, et diligere misericordiam, et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo.
BSB
BSB:
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9
VUL
Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat, et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum: audite, tribus, et quis approbabit illud?
BSB
BSB:
The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
10
VUL
Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor iræ plena.
BSB
BSB:
Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
11
VUL
Numquid justificabo stateram impiam, et saccelli pondera dolosa?
BSB
BSB:
Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
12
VUL
In quibus divites ejus repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum.
BSB
BSB:
For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
13
VUL
Et ego ergo cœpi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
14
VUL
Tu comedes, et non saturaberis, et humiliatio tua in medio tui: et apprehendes, et non salvabis, et quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo.
BSB
BSB:
You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
15
VUL
Tu seminabis, et non metes: tu calcabis olivam, et non ungeris oleo; et mustum, et non bibes vinum.
BSB
BSB:
You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
16
VUL
Et custodisti præcepta Amri, et omne opus domus Achab, et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum: ut darem te in perditionem, et habitantes in ea in sibilum, et opprobrium populi mei portabitis.]
BSB
BSB:
You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
