KJV ¹ Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

VULC ¹ [Canite tuba in Sion,
ululate in monte sancto meo,
conturbentur omnes habitatores terræ :
quia venit dies Domini, quia prope est.

WLC ¹ תִּקְע֨וּ שׁוֹפָ֜ר בְּצִיּ֗וֹן וְהָרִ֙יעוּ֙ בְּהַ֣ר קָדְשִׁ֔י יִרְגְּז֕וּ כֹּ֖ל יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי־ בָ֥א יוֹם־ יְהוָ֖ה כִּ֥י קָרֽוֹב׃

KJV ² A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

VULC ² Dies tenebrarum et caliginis,
dies nubis et turbinis ;
quasi mane expansum super montes
populus multus et fortis :
similis ei non fuit a principio,
et post eum non erit
usque in annos generationis et generationis.

WLC ² י֧וֹם חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וַאֲפֵלָ֗ה י֤וֹם עָנָן֙ וַעֲרָפֶ֔ל כְּשַׁ֖חַר פָּרֻ֣שׂ עַל־ הֶֽהָרִ֑ים עַ֚ם רַ֣ב וְעָצ֔וּם כָּמֹ֗הוּ לֹ֤א נִֽהְיָה֙ מִן־ הָ֣עוֹלָ֔ם וְאַֽחֲרָיו֙ לֹ֣א יוֹסֵ֔ף עַד־ שְׁנֵ֖י דּ֥וֹר וָדֽוֹר׃

KJV ³ A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

VULC ³ Ante faciem ejus ignis vorans,
et post eum exurens flamma.
Quasi hortus voluptatis terra coram eo,
et post eum solitudo deserti,
neque est qui effugiat eum.

WLC ³ לְפָנָיו֙ אָ֣כְלָה אֵ֔שׁ וְאַחֲרָ֖יו תְּלַהֵ֣ט לֶֽהָבָ֑ה כְּגַן־ עֵ֨דֶן הָאָ֜רֶץ לְפָנָ֗יו וְאַֽחֲרָיו֙ מִדְבַּ֣ר שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְגַם־ פְּלֵיטָ֖ה לֹא־ הָ֥יְתָה לּֽוֹ׃

KJV ⁴ The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

VULC ⁴ Quasi aspectus equorum, aspectus eorum ;
et quasi equites, sic current.

WLC ⁴ כְּמַרְאֵ֥ה סוּסִ֖ים מַרְאֵ֑הוּ וּכְפָרָשִׁ֖ים כֵּ֥ן יְרוּצֽוּן׃

KJV ⁵ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

VULC ⁵ Sicut sonitus quadrigarum super capita montium exilient,
sicut sonitus flammæ ignis devorantis stipulam,
velut populus fortis præparatus ad prælium.

WLC ⁵ כְּק֣וֹל מַרְכָּב֗וֹת עַל־ רָאשֵׁ֤י הֶֽהָרִים֙ יְרַקֵּד֔וּן כְּקוֹל֙ לַ֣הַב אֵ֔שׁ אֹכְלָ֖ה קָ֑שׁ כְּעַ֣ם עָצ֔וּם עֱר֖וּךְ מִלְחָמָֽה׃

KJV ⁶ Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

VULC ⁶ A facie ejus cruciabuntur populi ;
omnes vultus redigentur in ollam.

WLC ⁶ מִפָּנָ֖יו יָחִ֣ילוּ עַמִּ֑ים כָּל־ פָּנִ֖ים קִבְּצ֥וּ פָארֽוּר׃

KJV ⁷ They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

VULC ⁷ Sicut fortes current ;
quasi viri bellatores ascendent murum :
viri in viis suis gradientur,
et non declinabunt a semitis suis.

WLC ⁷ כְּגִבּוֹרִ֣ים יְרֻצ֔וּן כְּאַנְשֵׁ֥י מִלְחָמָ֖ה יַעֲל֣וּ חוֹמָ֑ה וְאִ֤ישׁ בִּדְרָכָיו֙ יֵֽלֵכ֔וּן וְלֹ֥א יְעַבְּט֖וּן אֹרְחוֹתָֽם׃

KJV ⁸ Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

VULC ⁸ Unusquisque fratrem suum non coarctabit,
singuli in calle suo ambulabunt ;
sed et per fenestras cadent, et non demolientur.

WLC ⁸ וְאִ֤ישׁ אָחִיו֙ לֹ֣א יִדְחָק֔וּן גֶּ֥בֶר בִּמְסִלָּת֖וֹ יֵֽלֵכ֑וּן וּבְעַ֥ד הַשֶּׁ֛לַח יִפֹּ֖לוּ לֹ֥א יִבְצָֽעוּ׃

KJV ⁹ They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

VULC ⁹ Urbem ingredientur, in muro current,
domos conscendent, per fenestras intrabunt quasi fur.

WLC ⁹ בָּעִ֣יר יָשֹׁ֗קּוּ בַּֽחוֹמָה֙ יְרֻצ֔וּן בַּבָּתִּ֖ים יַעֲל֑וּ בְּעַ֧ד הַחַלּוֹנִ֛ים יָבֹ֖אוּ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃

KJV ¹⁰ The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

VULC ¹⁰ A facie ejus contremuit terra,
moti sunt cæli,
sol et luna obtenebrati sunt,
et stellæ retraxerunt splendorem suum.

WLC ¹⁰ לְפָנָיו֙ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֔רֶץ רָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמָ֑יִם שֶׁ֤מֶשׁ וְיָרֵ֙חַ֙ קָדָ֔רוּ וְכוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽם׃

KJV ¹¹ And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

VULC ¹¹ Et Dominus dedit vocem suam ante faciem exercitus sui,
quia multa sunt nimis castra ejus,
quia fortia et facientia verbum ejus :
magnus enim dies Domini, et terribilis valde,
et quis sustinebit eum ?

WLC ¹¹ וַֽיהוָ֗ה נָתַ֤ן קוֹלוֹ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י חֵיל֔וֹ כִּ֣י רַ֤ב מְאֹד֙ מַחֲנֵ֔הוּ כִּ֥י עָצ֖וּם עֹשֵׂ֣ה דְבָר֑וֹ כִּֽי־ גָד֧וֹל יוֹם־ יְהוָ֛ה וְנוֹרָ֥א מְאֹ֖ד וּמִ֥י יְכִילֶֽנּוּ׃

KJV ¹² Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

VULC ¹² Nunc ergo, dicit Dominus,
convertimini ad me in toto corde vestro,
in jejunio, et in fletu, et in planctu.

WLC ¹² וְגַם־ עַתָּה֙ נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה שֻׁ֥בוּ עָדַ֖י בְּכָל־ לְבַבְכֶ֑ם וּבְצ֥וֹם וּבְבְכִ֖י וּבְמִסְפֵּֽד׃

KJV ¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

VULC ¹³ Et scindite corda vestra, et non vestimenta vestra ;
et convertimini ad Dominum Deum vestrum,
quia benignus et misericors est,
patiens et multæ misericordiæ,
et præstabilis super malitia.

WLC ¹³ וְקִרְע֤וּ לְבַבְכֶם֙ וְאַל־ בִּגְדֵיכֶ֔ם וְשׁ֖וּבוּ אֶל־ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־ חַנּ֤וּן וְרַחוּם֙ ה֔וּא אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וְרַב־ חֶ֔סֶד וְנִחָ֖ם עַל־ הָרָעָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁴ Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

VULC ¹⁴ Quis scit si convertatur, et ignoscat,
et relinquat post se benedictionem, sacrificium et libamen Domino Deo vestro ?

WLC ¹⁴ מִ֥י יוֹדֵ֖עַ יָשׁ֣וּב וְנִחָ֑ם וְהִשְׁאִ֤יר אַֽחֲרָיו֙ בְּרָכָ֔ה מִנְחָ֣ה וָנֶ֔סֶךְ לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃

KJV ¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

VULC ¹⁵ Canite tuba in Sion,
sanctificate jejunium, vocate cœtum :

WLC ¹⁵ תִּקְע֥וּ שׁוֹפָ֖ר בְּצִיּ֑וֹן קַדְּשׁוּ־ צ֖וֹם קִרְא֥וּ עֲצָרָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁶ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

VULC ¹⁶ congregate populum, sanctificate ecclesiam,
coadunate senes, congregate parvulos, et sugentes ubera ;
egrediatur sponsus de cubili suo,
et sponsa de thalamo suo.

WLC ¹⁶ אִסְפוּ־ עָ֞ם קַדְּשׁ֤וּ קָהָל֙ קִבְצ֣וּ זְקֵנִ֔ים אִסְפוּ֙ עֽוֹלָלִ֔ים וְיֹנְקֵ֖י שָׁדָ֑יִם יֵצֵ֤א חָתָן֙ מֵֽחֶדְר֔וֹ וְכַלָּ֖ה מֵחֻפָּתָֽהּ׃

KJV ¹⁷ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

VULC ¹⁷ Inter vestibulum et altare plorabunt sacerdotes, ministri Domini,
et dicent : Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo ;
et ne des hæreditatem tuam in opprobrium,
ut dominentur eis nationes.
Quare dicunt in populis : Ubi est Deus eorum ?]

WLC ¹⁷ בֵּ֤ין הָאוּלָם֙ וְלַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ יִבְכּוּ֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים מְשָׁרְתֵ֖י יְהוָ֑ה וְֽיֹאמְר֞וּ ח֧וּסָה יְהוָ֣ה עַל־ עַמֶּ֗ךָ וְאַל־ תִּתֵּ֨ן נַחֲלָתְךָ֤ לְחֶרְפָּה֙ לִמְשָׁל־ בָּ֣ם גּוֹיִ֔ם לָ֚מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ בָֽעַמִּ֔ים אַיֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

KJV ¹⁸ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

VULC ¹⁸ [Zelatus est Dominus terram suam,
et pepercit populo suo.

WLC ¹⁸ וַיְקַנֵּ֥א יְהוָ֖ה לְאַרְצ֑וֹ וַיַּחְמֹ֖ל עַל־ עַמּֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁹ Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

VULC ¹⁹ Et respondit Dominus, et dixit populo suo :
Ecce ego mittam vobis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,
et replebimini eis ;
et non dabo vos ultra opprobrium in gentibus.

WLC ¹⁹ וַיַּ֨עַן יְהוָ֜ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְעַמּ֗וֹ הִנְנִ֨י שֹׁלֵ֤חַ לָכֶם֙ אֶת־ הַדָּגָן֙ וְהַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָ֔ר וּשְׂבַעְתֶּ֖ם אֹת֑וֹ וְלֹא־ אֶתֵּ֨ן אֶתְכֶ֥ם ע֛וֹד חֶרְפָּ֖ה בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃

KJV ²⁰ But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

VULC ²⁰ Et eum qui ab aquilone est procul faciam a vobis,
et expellam eum in terram inviam et desertam :
faciem ejus contra mare orientale,
et extremum ejus ad mare novissimum :
et ascendet fœtor ejus,
et ascendet putredo ejus,
quia superbe egit.

WLC ²⁰ וְֽאֶת־ הַצְּפוֹנִ֞י אַרְחִ֣יק מֵעֲלֵיכֶ֗ם וְהִדַּחְתִּיו֮ אֶל־ אֶ֣רֶץ צִיָּ֣ה וּשְׁמָמָה֒ אֶת־ פָּנָ֗יו אֶל־ הַיָּם֙ הַקַּדְמֹנִ֔י וְסֹפ֖וֹ אֶל־ הַיָּ֣ם הָאַֽחֲר֑וֹן וְעָלָ֣ה בָאְשׁ֗וֹ וְתַ֙עַל֙ צַחֲנָת֔וֹ כִּ֥י הִגְדִּ֖יל לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃

KJV ²¹ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

VULC ²¹ Noli timere, terra :
exsulta, et lætare,
quoniam magnificavit Dominus ut faceret.

WLC ²¹ אַל־ תִּֽירְאִ֖י אֲדָמָ֑ה גִּ֣ילִי וּשְׂמָ֔חִי כִּֽי־ הִגְדִּ֥יל יְהוָ֖ה לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃

KJV ²² Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

VULC ²² Nolite timere, animalia regionis,
quia germinaverunt speciosa deserti ;
quia lignum attulit fructum suum,
ficus et vinea dederunt virtutem suam.

WLC ²² אַל־ תִּֽירְאוּ֙ בַּהֲמ֣וֹת שָׂדַ֔י כִּ֥י דָשְׁא֖וּ נְא֣וֹת מִדְבָּ֑ר כִּֽי־ עֵץ֙ נָשָׂ֣א פִרְי֔וֹ תְּאֵנָ֥ה וָגֶ֖פֶן נָתְנ֥וּ חֵילָֽם׃

KJV ²³ Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

VULC ²³ Et, filii Sion, exsultate,
et lætamini in Domino Deo vestro,
quia dedit vobis doctorem justitiæ,
et descendere faciet ad vos imbrem matutinum et serotinum,
sicut in principio.

WLC ²³ וּבְנֵ֣י צִיּ֗וֹן גִּ֤ילוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ֙ בַּיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־ נָתַ֥ן לָכֶ֛ם אֶת־ הַמּוֹרֶ֖ה לִצְדָקָ֑ה וַיּ֣וֹרֶד לָכֶ֗ם גֶּ֛שֶׁם מוֹרֶ֥ה וּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ בָּרִאשֽׁוֹן׃

KJV ²⁴ And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

VULC ²⁴ Et implebuntur areæ frumento,
et redundabunt torcularia vino et oleo.

WLC ²⁴ וּמָלְא֥וּ הַגֳּרָנ֖וֹת בָּ֑ר וְהֵשִׁ֥יקוּ הַיְקָבִ֖ים תִּיר֥וֹשׁ וְיִצְהָֽר׃

KJV ²⁵ And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

VULC ²⁵ Et reddam vobis annos, quos comedit locusta,
bruchus, et rubigo, et eruca :
fortitudo mea magna quam misi in vos.

WLC ²⁵ וְשִׁלַּמְתִּ֤י לָכֶם֙ אֶת־ הַשָּׁנִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר֙ אָכַ֣ל הָֽאַרְבֶּ֔ה הַיֶּ֖לֶק וְהֶחָסִ֣יל וְהַגָּזָ֑ם חֵילִי֙ הַגָּד֔וֹל אֲשֶׁ֥ר שִׁלַּ֖חְתִּי בָּכֶֽם׃

KJV ²⁶ And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

VULC ²⁶ Et comedetis vescentes, et saturabimini ;
et laudabitis nomen Domini Dei vestri,
qui fecit mirabilia vobiscum ;
et non confundetur populus meus in sempiternum.

WLC ²⁶ וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם אָכוֹל֙ וְשָׂב֔וֹעַ וְהִלַּלְתֶּ֗ם אֶת־ שֵׁ֤ם יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹ֣הֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ עָשָׂ֥ה עִמָּכֶ֖ם לְהַפְלִ֑יא וְלֹא־ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ עַמִּ֖י לְעוֹלָֽם׃

KJV ²⁷ And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

VULC ²⁷ Et scietis quia in medio Israël ego sum,
et ego Dominus Deus vester, et non est amplius ;
et non confundetur populus meus in æternum.]

WLC ²⁷ וִידַעְתֶּ֗ם כִּ֣י בְקֶ֤רֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אָ֔נִי וַאֲנִ֛י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם וְאֵ֣ין ע֑וֹד וְלֹא־ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ עַמִּ֖י לְעוֹלָֽם׃

KJV ²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

VULC ²⁸ [Et erit post hæc :
effundam spiritum meum super omnem carnem,
et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ :
senes vestri somnia somniabunt,
et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt.

KJV ²⁹ And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

VULC ²⁹ Sed et super servos meos et ancillas
in diebus illis effundam spiritum meum.

KJV ³⁰ And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

VULC ³⁰ Et dabo prodigia in cælo et in terra,
sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi.

KJV ³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

VULC ³¹ Sol convertetur in tenebras,
et luna in sanguinem,
antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et horribilis.

KJV ³² And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

VULC ³² Et erit : omnis qui invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit :
quia in monte Sion et in Jerusalem
erit salvatio, sicut dixit Dominus,
et in residuis quos Dominus vocaverit.]
