The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 in tempore illo ait Dominus eicient ossa regis Iuda et ossa principum eius et ossa sacerdotum et ossa prophetarum et ossa eorum qui habitaverunt Hierusalem de sepulchris suis
1
"At that time, says the LORD, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be brought out of their tombs;
2 et pandent ea ad solem et lunam et omnem militiam caeli quae dilexerunt et quibus servierunt et post quae ambulaverunt et quae quaesierunt et adoraverunt non colligentur et non sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt
2
and they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped; and they shall not be gathered or buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground.
3 et eligent magis mortem quam vitam omnes qui residui fuerint de cognatione hac pessima in universis locis quae derelicta sunt ad quae eieci eos dicit Dominus exercituum
3
Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus numquid qui cadet non resurget et qui aversus est non revertetur
4
"You shall say to them, Thus says the LORD: When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he not return?
5 quare ergo aversus est populus iste in Hierusalem aversione contentiosa adprehenderunt mendacium et noluerunt reverti
5
Why then has this people turned away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, they refuse to return.
6 adtendi et auscultavi nemo quod bonum est loquitur nullus est qui agat paenitentiam super peccato suo dicens quid feci omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum quasi equus impetu vadens in proelio
6
I have given heed and listened, but they have not spoken aright; no man repents of his wickedness, saying, 'What have I done?' Every one turns to his own course, like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
7 milvus in caelo cognovit tempus suum turtur et hirundo et ciconia custodierunt tempus adventus sui populus autem meus non cognovit iudicium Domini
7
Even the stork in the heavens knows her times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming; but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
8 quomodo dicitis sapientes nos sumus et lex Domini nobiscum est vere mendacium operatus est stilus mendax scribarum
8
"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
9 confusi sunt sapientes perterriti et capti sunt verbum enim Domini proiecerunt et sapientia nulla est in eis
9
The wise men shall be put to shame, they shall be dismayed and taken; lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD, and what wisdom is in them?
10 propterea dabo mulieres eorum exteris agros eorum heredibus quia a minimo usque ad maximum omnes avaritiam sequuntur a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt mendacium
10
Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to conquerors, because from the least to the greatest every one is greedy for unjust gain; from prophet to priest every one deals falsely.
11 et sanabant contritionem filiae populi mei ad ignominiam dicentes pax pax cum non esset pax
11
They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace.
12 confusi sunt quia abominationem fecerunt quinimmo confusione non sunt confusi et erubescere nescierunt idcirco cadent inter corruentes in tempore visitationis suae corruent dicit Dominus
12
Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they shall be overthrown, says the LORD.
13 congregans congregabo eos ait Dominus non est uva in vitibus et non sunt ficus in ficulnea folium defluxit et dedi eis quae praetergressa sunt
13
When I would gather them, says the LORD, there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree; even the leaves are withered, and what I gave them has passed away from them."
14 quare sedemus convenite et ingrediamur civitatem munitam et sileamus ibi quia Dominus noster silere nos fecit et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis peccavimus enim Domino
14
Why do we sit still? Gather together, let us go into the fortified cities and perish there; for the LORD our God has doomed us to perish, and has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 expectavimus pacem et non erat bonum tempus medellae et ecce formido
15
We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
16 a Dan auditus est fremitus equorum eius a voce hinnituum pugnatorum eius commota est omnis terra et venerunt et devoraverunt terram et plenitudinem eius urbem et habitatores eius
16
"The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of their stallions the whole land quakes. They come and devour the land and all that fills it, the city and those who dwell in it.
17 quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos quibus non est incantatio et mordebunt vos ait Dominus
17
For behold, I am sending among you serpents, adders which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you," says the LORD.
18 dolor meus super dolorem in me cor meum maerens
18
My grief is beyond healing, my heart is sick 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
Hark, the cry of the daughter of my people from the length and breadth of the land: "Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King not in her?" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with their foreign idols?"
20 transiit messis finita est aestas et nos salvati non sumus
20
"The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."
21 super contritionem filiae populi mei contritus sum et contristatus stupor obtinuit me
21
For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.
22 numquid resina non est in Galaad aut medicus non est ibi quare igitur non est obducta cicatrix filiae populi mei
22
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
