Prophetia Michaeae

Væ qui cogitatis inutile, et operamini malum in cubilibus vestris! In luce matutina faciunt illud, quoniam contra Deum est manus eorum.

Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.

Vae qui cogita inutile, et operor malo in cubilis vestro! In luce matutina fac illo, quia contra Deo es manus de illos.

Et concupierunt agros, et violenter tulerunt: et rapuerunt domos, et calumniabantur virum, et domum ejus: virum, et hæreditatem ejus.

And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.

Et concupie agros, et violenter fer: et rape domos, et calumnia viro, et domo de illo: viro, et haereditate de illo.

Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego cogito super familiam istam malum, unde non auferetis colla vestra, et non ambulabitis superbi: quoniam tempus pessimum est.

Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.

Ergo Domino dic hoc: ecce me cogita super familia isto malo, unde non aufer collas vestro, et non superbos ambula: quia tempore malo es.

In die illa sumetur super vos parabola, et cantabitur canticum cum suavitate, dicentium: Depopulatione vastati sumus; pars populi mei commutata est: quomodo recedet a me, cum revertatur, qui regiones nostras dividat?

In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?

In die illa parabola super vos sume, et cantico canta cum suavitate, dic: depopulatione vasta es; parte de populo meo commuta es: quomodo recede ab me, cum qui, qui divide regiones nostro?

Propter hoc non erit tibi mittens funiculum sortis in cœtu Domini.

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.

Propter hoc non es ad te mitte funiculo de sorto in coetu de Domino.

Ne loquamini loquentes; non stillabit super istos, non comprehendet confusio.

Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.

Ne loque loque; non stilla super isto, non confusione comprehende.

Dicit domus Jacob: Numquid abbreviatus est spiritus Domini, aut tales sunt cogitationes ejus? nonne verba mea bona sunt cum eo qui recte graditur?

The house of Jacob saith: Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?

Domo Iacobo dic: numquid abbrevia es spiritu de Domino, aut tale es cogitationes de illo? Nonne verbos meo bono es cum eo qui recte grada?

et e contrario populus meus in adversarium consurrexit. Desuper tunica pallium sustulistis: et eos qui transibant simpliciter convertistis in bellum.

But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.

Et ex contrario populo meo in adversario consurge. Desuper tunica tolle palle: et illos qui transi simpliciter converte in bello.

Mulieres populi mei ejecistis de domo deliciarum suarum; a parvulis earum tulistis laudem meam in perpetuum.

You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise forever from their children.

Mulieres de populo meo eicie de domo de delicias suo; ab parvulo de illas fer laude meo in perpetua.

Surgite, et ite, quia non habetis hic requiem: propter immunditiam ejus corrumpetur putredine pessima.

Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.

Surge, et i, quia non hoc habe requie: propter immunditia de illo corrumpe putredine pessima.

Utinam non essem vir habens spiritum, et mendacium potius loquerer! Stillabo tibi in vinum et in ebrietatem; et erit super quem stillatur populus iste.

Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.

Utinam non es viro habente spiritu, et mendacio potius loque! Stillabo ad te in vino et in ebrietate; et es super quem populo isto stilla.

Congregatione congregabo, Jacob, totum te; in unum conducam reliquias Israël: pariter ponam illum quasi gregem in ovili, quasi pecus in medio caularum: tumultuabuntur a multitudine hominum.

I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.

Congregatione congrega, Iacobo, toto te; in uno conduce reliquias Israële: pariter pone illo quasi grege in ovili, quasi pecore in medio de caulas: tumultuor ab multitudine de homines.

Ascendet enim pandens iter ante eos: divident, et transibunt portam, et ingredientur per eam: et transibit rex eorum coram eis, et Dominus in capite eorum.

For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.

Ascende nam pande itinere ante illos: divide, et transi porta, et ingredior per illa: et rege de illos transi coram illos, et Domino in capite de illos.
