18 LIBER SAPIENTIAE SOLOMONIS Wisdom - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Wisdom - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
5Cum cogitarent justorum occidere infantes,
et uno exposito filio et liberato,
in traductionem illorum, multitudinem filiorum abstulisti,
et pariter illos perdidisti in aqua valida.
 Death of the Egyptian first-born. Wis.18.5-19
6Illa enim nox ante cognita est a patribus nostris,
ut vere scientes quibus juramentis crediderunt,
animæquiores essent.
  
7Suscepta est autem a populo tuo sanitas quidem justorum,
injustorum autem exterminatio.
  
8Sicut enim læsisti adversarios,
sic et nos provocans magnificasti.
  
9Absconse enim sacrificabant justi pueri bonorum,
et justitiæ legem in concordia disposuerunt;
similiter et bona et mala recepturos justos,
patrum jam decantantes laudes.
  
10Resonabat autem inconveniens inimicorum vox,
et flebilis audiebatur planctus ploratorum infantium.
  
11Simili autem pœna servus cum domino afflictus est,
et popularis homo regi similia passus.
  
12Similiter ergo omnes, uno nomine mortis,
mortuos habebant innumerabiles:
nec enim ad sepeliendum vivi sufficiebant,
quoniam uno momento quæ erat præclarior
natio illorum exterminata est.
  
13De omnibus enim non credentes, propter veneficia;
tunc vero primum cum fuit exterminium primogenitorum,
spoponderunt populum Dei esse.
  
14Cum enim quietum silentium contineret omnia,
et nox in suo cursu medium iter haberet,
  
15omnipotens sermo tuus de cælo, a regalibus sedibus,
durus debellator in mediam exterminii terram prosilivit,
  
16gladius acutus insimulatum imperium tuum portans:
et stans, replevit omnia morte,
et usque ad cælum attingebat stans in terra.
  
17Tunc continuo visus somniorum malorum turbaverunt illos,
et timores supervenerunt insperati.
  
18Et alius alibi projectus semivivus,
propter quam moriebatur causam demonstrabat mortis.
  
19Visiones enim quæ illos turbaverunt hæc præmonebant,
ne inscii quare mala patiebantur perirent.
  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
