1 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam de sic citate.	1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the words of the drought.
2 Luget Iuda, et portae eius languescunt et contristatae iacent in terra, et clamor Ierusalem ascendit.	2 “Judea has mourned. And its gates have fallen and become hard to discern on the ground. And the outcry of Jerusalem has ascended.
3 Maiores eorum miserunt minores suos ad aquam: venerunt ad cisternas, non invenerunt aquam; reportaverunt vasa sua vacua, confusi sunt et afflicti et operuerunt capita sua.	3 The greater ones have sent their lesser ones to the water. They went to draw water; they did not find water; they carried their vessels back empty. They were confounded and afflicted, and so they covered their heads.
4 Propter terrae vastitatem, quia non venit pluvia in terram, confusi sunt agricolae, operuerunt capita sua.	4 Because of the devastation of the earth, because rain did not fall upon the earth, the farmers were confounded; they covered their heads.
5 Nam et cerva in agro peperit et reliquit, quia non erat herba.	5 For even the doe has given birth in the field, and then left it behind. For there was no grass.
6 Et onagri steterunt in collibus, traxerunt aerem quasi thoes; defecerunt oculi eorum, quia non erat herba.	6 And the wild donkeys stood upon the rocks; like dragons, they drew in the wind, but their eyes failed. For there was no grass.”
7 “ Si iniquitates nostrae testificantur adversus nos, Domine, fac propter nomen tuum, quoniam multae sunt aversiones nostrae, tibi peccavimus.	7 “O Lord, if our iniquities have responded against us, let it be for the sake of your name. For our rebellions are many; we have sinned against you.
8 Exspectatio Israel, salvator eius in tempore tribulationis, quare quasi peregrinus es in terra et quasi viator declinans ad pernoctandum?	8 O Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of tribulation, why would you be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler turning aside for lodging?
9 Quare es velut vir attonitus, ut fortis, qui non potest salvare? Tu autem in medio nostri es, Domine, et nomen tuum invocatum est super nos; ne derelinquas nos ”.	9 Why would you be like a wandering man, like a strong man who is unable to save? But you, O Lord, are with us, and your name is invoked over us, so do not abandon us!”
10 Haec dicit Dominus populo huic: “ Ita diligunt vagari, pedes suos nonprohibent et Domino non placent ”. Nunc recordatus est iniquitatum eorum etvisitat peccata eorum.	10 Thus says the Lord to this people, who have loved to move their feet, and who have not rested, but who have not pleased the Lord: “Now he will remember their iniquities, and now he will visit against their sins.”
11 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Noli orare pro populo isto in bonum.	11 And the Lord said to me: “Do not choose to pray for this people for good.
12 Cumieiunaverint, non exaudiam preces eorum; et, si obtulerint holocautomata etoblationes, non suscipiam ea; quoniam gladio et fame et peste consumam eos ”.	12 When they will fast, I will not heed their petitions. And if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not accept them. For I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.”
13 Et dixi: “ Heu, Domine Deus! Ecce prophetae dicunt eis: “Non videbitisgladium, et fames non erit in vobis, sed pacem veram dabit vobis in loco isto””.	13 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! The prophets are saying to them: ‘You will not see the sword, and there will be no famine among you. Instead, he will give you true peace in this place.’ ”
14 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Falso prophetae vaticinantur in nomine meo:non misi eos et non praecepi eis neque locutus sum ad eos; visionem mendacem etdivinationem et fraudulentiam et seductionem cordis sui prophetant vobis.	14 And the Lord said to me: “The prophets prophesy falsely in my name. I did not send them, and I did not instruct them, and I have not spoken to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, and a divination, and a fraud, and a seduction from their own heart.
15 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus contra prophetas, qui prophetant in nomine meo, quosego non misi, dicentes: “Gladius et fames non erit in terra hac”: In gladioet fame consumentur prophetae illi;	15 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the prophets who prophesy in my name, whom I have not sent, who say: ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ By sword and famine those prophets will be consumed.
16 et homines, quibus prophetant, eruntproiecti in viis Ierusalem prae fame et gladio, et non erit qui sepeliat eos:ipsi et uxores eorum, filii et filiae eorum, et effundam super eos malum suum.	16 And the people, to whom they prophesy, will be cast into the streets of Jerusalem, due to famine and the sword, and there will be no one who may bury them, they and their wives, their sons and daughters, and I will pour out their own evil upon them.
17 Et dices ad eos verbum istud: Deducant oculi mei lacrimam per noctem et diem, et non taceant, quoniam contritione magna contrita est virgo filia populi mei, plaga pessima vehementer.	17 And you shall speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed tears throughout the night and day, and let them not cease. For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed by a great affliction, by a very grievous wound.”
18 Si egressus fuero ad agros, ecce occisi gladio; et, si introiero in civitatem, ecce attenuati fame; propheta quoque et sacerdos abierunt per terram nescientes ”.	18 “If I go out into the fields: behold, those slain by the sword. And if I enter into the city: behold, those weakened by famine. Likewise, the prophet, too, and the priest, have gone into a land that they did not know.
19 Numquid proiciens abiecisti Iudam, aut Sion abominata est anima tua? Quare ergo percussisti nos, ita ut nulla sit sanitas? Exspectavimus pacem, et non est bonum, et tempus curationis, et ecce turbatio.	19 Could you have utterly cast out Judah? Or has your soul abhorred Zion? Then why have you struck us, so much so that there is no health for us? We have waited for peace, but there is nothing good, and for the time of healing, and behold, trouble.
20 Cognovimus, Domine, impietates nostras, iniquitates patrum nostrorum, quia peccavimus tibi.	20 O Lord, we acknowledge our impieties, the iniquities of our fathers, that we have sinned against you.
21 Ne des nos in opprobrium propter nomen tuum, ne facias contumeliam solio gloriae tuae; recordare, ne irritum facias foedus tuum nobiscum.	21 For the sake of your name, do not give us over into disgrace. And do not dishonor in us the throne of your glory. Remember, do not make void, your covenant with us.
22 Numquid sunt in sculptilibus gentium, qui pluant, aut caeli possunt dare imbres? Nonne tu es Dominus Deus noster, quem exspectamus? Tu enim fecisti omnia haec.	22 Could any of the graven images of the Gentiles send rain? Or are the heavens able to give showers? Have we not hoped in you, the Lord our God? For you have made all these things.”
