Es 21 (King James)

   ¹ The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. ⁴ My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. ⁵ Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. ⁷ And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: ⁸ And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: ⁹ And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
   ¹¹ The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
   ¹³ The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. ¹⁴ The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. ¹⁵ For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. ¹⁶ For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: ¹⁷ And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.

Es 21 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Onus deserti maris. [Sicut turbines ab africo veniunt,
de deserto venit,
de terra horribili.
   ² Visio dura nuntiata est mihi :
qui incredulus est infideliter agit ;
et qui depopulator est vastat.
Ascende, Ælam ; obside, Mede ;
omnem gemitum ejus cessare feci.
   ³ Propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei dolore ;
angustia possedit me
sicut angustia parturientis ;
corrui cum audirem, conturbatus sum cum viderem.
   ⁴ Emarcuit cor meum ;
tenebræ stupefecerunt me :
Babylon dilecta mea
posita est mihi in miraculum.
   ⁵ Pone mensam, contemplare in specula
comedentes et bibentes :
surgite, principes,
arripite clypeum.
   ⁶ Hæc enim dixit mihi Dominus :
Vade, et pone speculatorem,
et quodcumque viderit annuntiet.
   ⁷ Et vidit currum duorum equitum,
ascensorem asini,
et ascensorem cameli ;
et contemplatus est diligenter multo intuitu.
   ⁸ Et clamavit leo :
Super speculam Domini ego sum,
stans jugiter per diem ;
et super custodiam meam ego sum,
stans totis noctibus.
   ⁹ Ecce iste venit ascensor
vir bigæ equitum ;
et respondit, et dixit :
Cecidit, cecidit Babylon,
et omnia sculptilia deorum ejus
contrita sunt in terram.
   ¹⁰ Tritura mea et filii areæ meæ,
quæ audivi a Domino exercituum,
Deo Israël,
annuntiavi vobis.]
   ¹¹ Onus Duma. [Ad me clamat ex Seir :
Custos, quid de nocte ?
custos, quid de nocte ?
   ¹² Dixit custos :
Venit mane et nox ;
si quæritis, quærite ;
convertimini, venite.]
   ¹³ Onus in Arabia. [In saltu ad vesperam dormietis,
in semitis Dedanim.
   ¹⁴ Occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam,
qui habitatis terram austri ;
cum panibus occurrite fugienti.
   ¹⁵ A facie enim gladiorum fugerunt,
a facie gladii imminentis,
a facie arcus extenti,
a facie gravis prælii.
   ¹⁶ Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus ad me :
Adhuc in uno anno, quasi in anno mercenarii,
et auferetur omnis gloria Cedar.
   ¹⁷ Et reliquiæ numeri sagittariorum fortium
de filiis Cedar imminuentur ;
Dominus enim Deus Israël locutus est.]
