Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—they will bring out from the graves the bones of the kings of Judah and its officials, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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
2 Then they will spread them out in the light of the sun and moon and all the stars of the skies; these things in the sky that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped. The bones will not be gathered or buried again. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
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
3 In every remaining place where I have driven them, they will choose death instead of life for themselves, all who are still left over from this evil nation—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
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
4 So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to return?
et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus numquid qui cadet non resurget et qui aversus est non revertetur
5 Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in permanent faithlessness? They hold on to treachery and refuse to repent.
quare ergo aversus est populus iste in Hierusalem aversione contentiosa adprehenderunt mendacium et noluerunt reverti
6 I paid attention and listened, but they did not speak right; no one was sorry for his wickedness, no one who says, “What have I done?” All of them go where they wish, like a stallion rushing toward battle.
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
7 Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes. They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh's decrees.
milvus in caelo cognovit tempus suum turtur et hirundo et ciconia custodierunt tempus adventus sui populus autem meus non cognovit iudicium Domini
8 How can you say, “We are wise, for the law of Yahweh is with us”? Indeed, see! The deceitful pen of the scribes has created deceit.
quomodo dicitis sapientes nos sumus et lex Domini nobiscum est vere mendacium operatus est stilus mendax scribarum
9 The wise men will be ashamed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold! They reject Yahweh's word, so what use is their wisdom?
confusi sunt sapientes perterriti et capti sunt verbum enim Domini proiecerunt et sapientia nulla est in eis
10 So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will possess them, because from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain! From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
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
11 They healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, “Peace, Peace,” when there was no peace.
et sanabant contritionem filiae populi mei ad ignominiam dicentes pax pax cum non esset pax
12 Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
confusi sunt quia abominationem fecerunt quinimmo confusione non sunt confusi et erubescere nescierunt idcirco cadent inter corruentes in tempore visitationis suae corruent dicit Dominus
13 I will remove them completely—this is Yahweh's declaration—there will be no grapes on the vine, nor will there be figs on the fig trees. For the leaf will wither, and what I have given to them will pass away.
congregans congregabo eos ait Dominus non est uva in vitibus et non sunt ficus in ficulnea folium defluxit et dedi eis quae praetergressa sunt
14 Why are we sitting here? Come together; let us go to the fortified cities, and we will become silent there in death. For Yahweh our God will silence us. He will make us drink poison, since we have sinned against him.
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
15 We are hoping for peace, but there will be nothing good. We are hoping for a time of healing, but see, there will be terror.
expectavimus pacem et non erat bonum tempus medellae et ecce formido
16 The snorting of his stallions is heard from Dan. The whole earth shakes at the sound of the neighing of his strong horses. For they will come and consume the land and its wealth, the city and the ones living in it.
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
17 For see, I am sending out snakes among you, vipers that you cannot charm. They will bite you—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos quibus non est incantatio et mordebunt vos ait Dominus
18 My sorrow has no end, and my heart is sick.
dolor meus super dolorem in me cor meum maerens
19 Behold! The screaming voice of the daughter of my people from a land far away! Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there? Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?
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
20 The harvest has passed on, summer is over. But we have not been saved.
transiit messis finita est aestas et nos salvati non sumus
21 I am hurt because of the hurt of the daughter of my people. I mourn at the horrible things that have happened to her; I am dismayed.
super contritionem filiae populi mei contritus sum et contristatus stupor obtinuit me
22 Is there no medicine in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why will the healing of the daughter of my people not happen?
numquid resina non est in Galaad aut medicus non est ibi quare igitur non est obducta cicatrix filiae populi mei
