1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

1 In die illa visitabit Dominus
in gladio suo duro, et grandi, et forti,
super Leviathan, serpentem vectem,
et super Leviathan, serpentem tortuosum,
et occidet cetum qui in mari est.

2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.

3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

3 Ego Dominus qui servo eam;
repente propinabo ei.
Ne forte visitetur contra eam,
nocte et die servo eam.

4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

4 Indignatio non est mihi.
Quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prælio?
gradiar super eam,
succendam eam pariter.

5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam?
faciet pacem mihi,
pacem faciet mihi.

6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Jacob,
florebit et germinabit Israël,
et implebunt faciem orbis semine.

7 ¶ Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

7 Numquid juxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum?
aut sicut occidit interfectos ejus, sic occisus est?

8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

8 In mensura contra mensuram,
cum abjecta fuerit, judicabis eam;
meditatus est in spiritu suo duro
per diem æstus.

9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

9 Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Jacob;
et iste omnis fructus: ut auferatur peccatum ejus,
cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris
sicut lapides cineris allisos:
non stabunt luci et delubra.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

10 Civitas enim munita desolata erit;
speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum;
ibi pascetur vitulus,
et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates ejus.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

11 In siccitate messes illius conterentur.
Mulieres venientes, et docentes eam;
non est enim populus sapiens:
propterea non miserebitur ejus qui fecit eum,
et qui formavit eum non parcet ei.

12 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

12 Et erit: in die illa
percutiet Dominus
ab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem Ægypti;
et vos congregabimini unus et unus, filii Israël.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

13 Et erit: in die illa clangetur in tuba magna;
et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum,
et qui ejecti erant in terra Ægypti,
et adorabunt Dominum
in monte sancto in Jerusalem.
