1Onus verbi Domini super Israël.The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel.Dicit Dominus extendens cælum,The Lord,et fundans terram,stretching forth the heavens and founding the earth and forming the spirit of man within him,et fingens spiritum hominis in eo:says:

2Ecce ego ponam Jerusalem superliminare crapulæ omnibus populis in circuitu:Behold,sedI will set Jerusalem as a lintel of the effects of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples,et Juda erit in obsidione contra Jerusalem.yet even Judah will be in the blockade against Jerusalem.

3Et erit:And this shall be:in die illa ponam Jerusalem lapidem oneris cunctis populis:In that day, I will set Jerusalem as a burdensome stone to every people.omnes qui levabunt eam concisione lacerabuntur, et colligentur adversus eam omnia regna terræ.All who will lift it up will be torn to pieces. And all the kingdoms of the earth will be gathered together against her.

4In die illa,In that day,dicit Dominus,says the Lord,percutiam omnem equum in stuporem,I will strike every horse with stuporet ascensorem ejus in amentiam:and his rider with madness.et super domum Juda aperiam oculos meos,And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah,et omnem equum populorum percutiam cæcitate.and I will strike every horse of the people with blindness.

5Et dicent duces Juda in corde suo:And the governors of Judah will say in their heart,Confortentur mihi habitatores Jerusalem in Domino exercituum,“Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me, in the Lord of hosts,Deo eorum!their God.”

6In die illa ponam duces Juda sicut caminum ignis in lignis,In that day, I will set the governors of Judah like a flaming furnace among wood,et sicut facem ignis in fœno:and like a flaming torch among hay.et devorabunt ad dexteram et ad sinistram omnes populos in circuitu,And they will devour, to the right and to the left, all the surrounding peoples.et habitabitur Jerusalem rursus in loco suo in Jerusalem.And Jerusalem will be inhabited again, in her own place, in Jerusalem.

7Et salvabit Dominus tabernacula Juda,And the Lord will save the tabernacles of Judah,sicut in principio,just as in the beginning,ut non magnifice glorietur domus David,so that the house of Davidet gloria habitantium Jerusalem contra Judam.and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not glorify themselves boastfully against Judah.

8In die illa proteget Dominus habitatores Jerusalem:In that day, the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem,et erit qui offenderit ex eis in die illa quasi David,and even he who will have offended from them, in that day, will be like David,et domus David quasi Dei, sicut angelus Domini in conspectu eorum.and the house of David will be like that of God, just like an angel of the Lord in their sight.

9Et erit in die illa:And this shall be in that day:quæram conterere omnes gentes quæ veniunt contra Jerusalem.I will seek to crush all the Gentiles that come against Jerusalem.

10Et effundam super domum DavidAnd I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,et super habitatores Jerusalem spiritum gratiæthe spirit of grace and of prayers.et precum:And they will look upon me,et aspicient ad me quem confixerunt,whom they have pierced,et plangent eum planctu quasi super unigenitum,and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son,et dolebunt super eum,and they will feel sorrow over him,ut doleri solet in morte primogeniti.as one would be sorrowful at the death of a firstborn.

11In die illa,In that day,magnus erit planctus in Jerusalem,there will be a great lamentation in Jerusalem,sicut planctus Adadremmon in campo Mageddon.like the lamentation of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12Et planget terra:And the earth will mourn:familiæ et familiæ seorsum:families and families separately;familiæ domus David seorsum,the families of the house of David separately,et mulieres eorum seorsum:and their women separately;

13familiæ domus Nathan seorsum,the families of the house of Nathan separately,et mulieres eorum seorsum:and their women separately;familiæ domus Levi seorsum,the families of the house of Levi separately,et mulieres eorum seorsum:and their women separately;familiæ Semei seorsum,the families of Shimei separately,et mulieres eorum seorsum:and their women separately;

14omnes familiæ reliquæ,all the rest of the families,familiæ et familiæ seorsum,families and families separately,et mulieres eorum seorsum.and their women separately.
