Geremia 8

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 “ In illo tempore, ait Dominus, eicient ossa regum Iudae et ossaprincipum eius et ossa sacerdotum et ossa prophetarum et ossa eorum, quihabitaverunt Ierusalem de sepulcris suis;	1 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall cast out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of the princes thereof, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2 et expandent ea ad solem et lunam etomnem militiam caeli, quae dilexerunt et quibus servierunt et post quaeambulaverunt et quae quaesierunt et adoraverunt; non colligentur et nonsepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt.	2 And they shall spread them abroad to the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and adored: they shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried: they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.
3 Et eligent magismortem quam vitam omnes, qui residui fuerint de cognatione hac pessima inuniversis locis, ad quae eiecero eos, dicit Dominus exercituum.	3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all that shall remain of this wicked kindred in all places, which are left, to which I have cast them out, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus: Numquid, qui cadit, non resurget, et, qui aversus est, non revertetur?	4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?
5 Quare ergo aversus est populus iste, Ierusalem aversione perpetua? Apprehenderunt mendacium et noluerunt reverti.	5 Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.
6 Attendi et auscultavi: nemo, quod bonum est, loquitur, nullus est, qui agat paenitentiam super malitia sua dicens: “Quid feci?”. Omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum, quasi equus impetu vadens in proelio.	6 I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
7 Etiam ciconia in caelo novit tempus suum; turtur et hirundo et turdus custodierunt tempus adventus sui; populus autem meus non novit iudicium Domini.	7 The kite in the air hath known her time: the turtle, and the swallow, and the stork have observed the time of their coming: but my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
8 Quomodo dicitis: “Sapientes nos sumus, et lex Domini nobiscum est”? Vere mendacium operatus est stilus mendax scribarum.	8 How do you say: We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Indeed the lying pen of the scribes hath wrought falsehood.
9 Confusi sunt sapientes, perterriti et capti sunt; verbum enim Domini proiecerunt, et sapientia nulla est in eis.	9 The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed, and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
10 Propterea dabo mulieres eorum exteris, agros eorum expugnatoribus, quia a minimo usque ad maximum omnes avaritiam sequuntur, a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt mendacium.	10 Therefore I will give their women to strangers, their fields to others for an inheritance: because from the least even to the greatest all follow covetousness: from the prophet even to the priest, all deal deceitfully.
11 Et sanant contritionem filiae populi mei in levitate dicentes “Pax, pax”, cum non sit pax.	11 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.
12 Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt; quin immo confusione non sunt confusi et erubescere nescierunt, idcirco cadent inter corruentes, in tempore visitationis suae corruent, dicit Dominus.	12 They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.
13 Congregans congregabo eos, ait Dominus; non est uva in vitibus, et non sunt ficus in ficulnea, folium defluxit, et dabo eis gradientes super eos.	13 Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.
14 “Quare sedemus? Convenite, et ingrediamur civitates munitas et pereamus ibi, quia Dominus Deus noster tradidit nos in interitum et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis; peccavimus enim Domino.	14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.
15 Exspectavimus pacem, et non est bonum, tempus medelae, et ecce formido”.	15 We looked for peace and no good came: for a time of healing, and behold fear.
16 A Dan auditus est fremitus equorum eius, a voce hinnituum fortium equorum eius commota est omnis terra; et venient et devorabunt terram et plenitudinem eius, urbem et habitatores eius.	16 The snorting of his horse was heard from Dan, all the land was moved at the sound of the neighing of his warriors: and they came and devoured the land, and all that was in it: the city and its inhabitants.
17 Quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos, quibus non est incantatio, et mordebunt vos ”, ait Dominus.	17 For behold I will send among you serpents, basilisks, against which there is no charm: and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
18 Hilaritas mea facta est dolor in me, cor meum maerens.	18 My sorrow is above sorrow, my heart mourneth within me.
19 Ecce vox clamoris filiae populi mei de terra longinqua: “ Numquid Dominus non est in Sion? Aut rex eius non est in ea? ”. “ Quare ergo me ad iracundiam concitaverunt in sculptilibus suis et in vanitatibus alienis? ”.	19 Behold the voice of the daughter my people from a far country: Is not the Lord in Sion, or is not her king in her? why then have they provoked me to wrath with their idols, and strange vanities?
20 “ Transiit messis, finita est aestas, et nos salvati non sumus ”.	20 The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 Super contritione filiae populi mei contritus sum et contristatus; stupor obtinuit me.	21 For the affliction of the daughter of my people I am afflicted, and made sorrowful, astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22 Numquid resina non est in Galaad? Aut medicus non est ibi? Quare enim non est obducta cicatrix filiae populi mei?	22 Is there no balm in Galaad? or is no physician there? Why then is not the wound of the daughter of my people closed?
23 Quis dabit capiti meo aquam et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum, et plorabo die ac nocte interfectos filiae populi mei?
