Geremia 9

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Quis dabit mihi in solitudine deversorium viatorum, et de relinquam populum meum et recedam ab eis? Quia omnes adulteri sunt, coetus praevaricatorum.	1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2 “ Et tenderunt linguam suam quasi arcum; mendacium, et non veritas, invaluit in terra, quia de malo ad malum egressi sunt et me non cognoverunt, dicit Dominus.	2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
3 Unusquisque se a proximo suo custodiat et in omni fratre suo non habeat fiduciam, quia omnis frater supplantat, et omnis amicus fraudulenter incedit,	3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
4 et vir fratrem suum decipit, et veritatem non loquuntur; docuerunt enim linguam suam loqui mendacium, inique egerunt, noluerunt converti.	4 Let every man take heed of his neighbor, and let his not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
5 Iniuria super iniuriam, dolus super dolum. Renuerunt scire me ”, dicit Dominus.	5 And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: “ Ecce ego conflabo et probabo eos; quid enim aliud faciam filiae populi mei?	6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Sagitta vulnerans lingua eorum; dolum locuta est in ore suo: pacem cum amico suo loquitur et occulte ponit ei insidias.	7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
8 Numquid super his non visitabo eos, dicit Dominus, aut in gente huiusmodi non ulciscetur anima mea? ”.	8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
9 Super montes assumam fletum ac lamentum et super pascua deserti planctum, quoniam incensa sunt, eo quod non sit vir pertransiens, et non audiunt vocem gregis; a volucre caeli usque ad pecora transmigraverunt, recesserunt.	9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
10 “ Et dabo Ierusalem in acervos arenae et cubilia thoum, et civitates Iudae dabo in desolationem, eo quod non sit habitator ”.	10 For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
11 Quis est vir sapiens, qui intellegat hoc, et ad quem verbum oris Domini fiat, ut annuntiet istud: Quare perierit terra, exusta sit quasi desertum, eo quod non sit qui pertranseat?	11 And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
12 Et dixit Dominus: “ Quia dereliquerunt legem meam, quam dedi eis, et nonaudierunt vocem meam et non ambulaverunt in ea;	12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
13 et abierunt post pravitatemcordis sui et post Baalim, quos didicerunt a patribus suis ”.	13 And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
14 Idcirco haecdicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: “ Ecce ego cibabo populum istumabsinthio et potum dabo eis aquam fellis;	14 But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
15 et dispergam eos in gentibus, quasnon noverunt ipsi et patres eorum, et mittam post eos gladium, donecconsumantur.	15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Attendite et vocate lamentatrices, et veniant; et ad eas, quae sapientes sunt, mittite, et properent! ”.	16 And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
17 Festinent et assumant super nos lamentum: deducant oculi nostri lacrimas, et palpebrae nostrae defluant aquis.	17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
18 Quia vox lamentationis audita est de Sion: “ Quomodo vastati sumus et confusi vehementer, quia dereliquimus terram, quoniam deiecta sunt tabernacula nostra ”.	18 Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
19 Audite ergo, mulieres, verbum Domini; et assumant aures vestrae sermonem oris eius, et docete filias vestras lamentum, et unaquaeque proximam suam planctum.	19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
20 Quia ascendit mors per fenestras nostras, ingressa est domos nostras, disperdere parvulos deforis, iuvenes de plateis.	20 Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbor mourning.
21 Loquere. Haec dicit Dominus: “ Et cadet morticinum hominis quasi stercus super faciem regionis et quasi manipulus post tergum metentis, et non est qui colligat ”.	21 For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
22 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Non glorietur sapiens in sapientia sua, et non glorietur fortis in fortitudine sua, et non glorietur dives in divitiis suis;	22 Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
23 sed in hoc glorietur, qui gloriatur: scire et nosse me, quia ego sum Dominus, qui facio misericordiam et iudicium et iustitiam in terra; haec enim placent mihi, ait Dominus.	23 Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et visitabo super omnem, qui circumcisumhabet praeputium,	24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
25 super Aegyptum et super Iudam et super Edom et super filiosAmmon et super Moab et super omnes, qui attonsi sunt in comam, habitantes indeserto, quia omnes gentes habent praeputium, omnis autem domus Israelincircumcisi sunt corde ”.	25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
	26 Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
