1Vidi Dominum stantem super altare,I saw the Lord standing over an altar,et dixit:and he said:Percute cardinem,“Strike the hinges,et commoveantur superliminaria:and let the lintels be shaken.avaritia enim in capite omnium,For there is avarice at the head of them all,et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam;and I will execute the very last of them with the sword.non erit fuga eis.There will be no escape for them.Fugient,They will flee,et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.and he who flees from among them will not be saved.
2Si descenderint usque ad infernum,If they descend even to the underworld,inde manus mea educet eos;from there my hand will draw them out;et si ascenderint usque in cælum,and if they ascend even to the sky,inde detraham eos.from there will I pull them down.
3Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli,And if they were hiding at the top of Carmel,inde scrutans auferam eos;when searching there,et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris,I would steal them away,ibi mandabo serpenti,and if they conceal themselves from my eyes in the depths of the sea,et mordebit eos.I will command the serpent there and he will bite them.
4Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis,And if they go into captivity in the sight of their enemies,ibi mandabo gladio,there I will command the sword,et occidet eos:and it will kill them.et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum,And I will set my eyes over them for harmet non in bonum.and not for good.”
5Et Dominus Deus exercituum,And the Lord God of hosts,qui tangit terram,he touches the earthet tabescet,and it will melt.et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea:And all who dwell in it will mourn.et ascendet sicut rivus omnis,And everyone will rise up like a river,et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.and will flow away like the river of Egypt.
6Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam,He establishes his ascension into heaven,et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit;and he has founded his bundle on the earth.qui vocat aquas maris,He calls the waters of the ocean,et effundit eas super faciem terræ:and pours them over the face of the earth.Dominus nomen ejus.The Lord is his name.
7Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum vos estis mihi,Sons of Israel,filii Israël?are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to me,ait Dominus.says the Lord?Numquid non Israël ascendere feci de terra Ægypti,Did I not cause Israel to rise up out of the land of Egypt,et Palæstinos de Cappadocia,and the Philistines out of Cappadocia,et Syros de Cyrene?and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
8Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans:Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinning kingdom,et conteram illud a facie terræ;and I will wipe it from the face of the earth.verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Jacob,Though truly, when destroying, I will not wipe away the house of Jacob,dicit Dominus.says the Lord.
9Ecce enim mandabo ego,For behold, I will command,et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israël,and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations,sicut concutitur triticum in cribro, et non cadet lapillus super terram.as wheat is sifted in a sieve. And not even one small stone will fall to the ground.
10In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei,All the sinners of my people will die by the sword.qui dicunt:They say,Non appropinquabit,“Disaster will not come near us,et non veniet super nos malum.and it will not overcome us.”
11In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David,In that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David,quod cecidit:which is fallen.et reædificabo aperturas murorum ejus,And I will repair the breaches in its walls,et ea quæ corruerant instaurabo:and I will restore that which collapsed.et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis,And I will rebuild it, just as in the days of antiquity,
12ut possideant reliquias Idumææ,so that they may possess the remnant of Idumeaet omnes nationes:and all the nations,eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos,for my name has been invoked over them,dicit Dominus faciens hæc.says the Lord who does this.
13Ecce dies veniunt,Behold, the days pass,dicit Dominus,says the Lord,et comprehendet arator messorem,and the plower will overtake the harvester,et calcator uvæ mittentem semen:and the treader of grapes will overtake the sower of seed.et stillabunt montes dulcedinem,And the mountains will drip sweetness,et omnes colli culti erunt.and every hill will be cultivated.
14Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israël;And I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel.et ædificabunt civitates desertas,And they will rebuild the deserted citieset inhabitabunt;and inhabit them.et plantabunt vineas,And they will plant vineyardset bibent vinum earum,and drink their wine.et facient hortos,And they will create gardenset comedent fructus eorum.and eat their fruits.
15Et plantabo eos super humum suam,And I will plant them on their own soil.et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua,And I will no longer root them out of their own land,quam dedi eis,which I have given them,dicit Dominus Deus tuus.says the Lord your God.
