2Jurie hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen down, and are obscured on the earth, and the cry of Jerusalem is come up.Iurie hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen downe, & are obscured on the earth, and the crie of Ierusalem is come vp.✦Luxit Judæa, et portæ ejus corruerunt, et obscuratæ sunt in terra, et clamor Jerusalem ascendit.
3The greater men have sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confusi: put to shame, disappointed of their hope and afflicted, and covered their heads.The greater men haue sent their inferiours to the water: they came to drawe, they found no water, they caried backe their vessels emptie: they were confounded and afflicted, and couered their heades.✦Majores miserunt minores suos ad aquam : venerunt ad hauriendum. Non invenerunt aquam : reportaverunt vasa sua vacua. Confusi sunt, et afflicti, et operuerunt capita sua.
4For the waste of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.For the waste of the land, because there came no rayne vpon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they couered their heades.Propter terræ vastitatem, quia non venit pluvia in terram, confusi sunt agricolæ : operuerunt capita sua.

7If our iniquities have answered us: Lord do for thy name's sake, because our revoltings are many, to thee we have sinned.If our iniquities haue answered vs: Lord do for thy names sake, because our reuoltinges are manie, to thee we haue sinned.✦Si iniquitates nostræ responderint nobis, Domine, fac propter nomen tuum : quoniam multæ sunt aversiones nostræ : tibi peccavimus.
8O expectation of Israel, the saviour thereof in the time of tribulation: why wilt thou be as a colonus: one who dwells as a stranger, a temporary resident in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?O expectaion of Israel, the sauiour thereof in the time of tribulation: why wilt thou be as a seiourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?✦Exspectatio Israël, salvator ejus in tempore tribulationis, quare quasi colonus futurus es in terra, et quasi viator declinans ad manendum ?
9Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as the strong that cannot save? but thou O Lord art in us, and thy name is invocatum: called upon, invoked upon us, forsake us not.Why wilt thou be as a wandring man, as the ⟦left-margin (at 14:9)⟧✦quare futurus es velut vir vagus, ut fortis qui non potest salvare ? Tu autem in nobis es, Domine, et nomen tuum invocatum est super nos : ne derelinquas nos.

12When they shall fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they shall offer holocautomata: whole burnt offerings and victimas: sacrificial offerings, not persons harmed, I will not receive them: because with sword, and famine, and pestilence I will consume them.When they shal fast I wil not heare their prayers: and if they shal offer holocaustes and victimes, I wil not receiue them: because with sword, and famine, and pestilence I wil consume them.Cum jejunaverint, non exaudiam preces eorum, et si obtulerint holocautomata et victimas, non suscipiam ea : quoniam gladio, et fame, et peste consumam eos.

14And our Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, neither have I spoken unto them: lying vision, and deceitful divination, fraudulentiam: deceitfulness, fraud, and the seduction of their own heart they prophesy unto you.And our Lord said to me: The prophetes prophecie falsely in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, neither haue I spoken vnto them: lying vision, and deceitful diuination, guilfulnes, and the seduction of their owne hart they prophecie vnto you.Et dicit Dominus ad me : Falso prophetæ vaticinantur in nomine meo : non misi eos, et non præcepi eis, neque locutus sum ad eos. Visionem mendacem, et divinationem, et fraudulentiam, et seductionem cordis sui, prophetant vobis.
15Therefore thus saith our Lord of the prophets, that prophesy in my name, whom I sent not, that say: There shall not be sword, and famine in this land: In sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.Therefore thus saith our Lord of the prophets, that prophecie in my name, whom I sent not, that say: There shal not be sword, and famine in this land: In sword and famine shal those prophetes be consumed.Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus de prophetis qui prophetant in nomine meo, quos ego non misi, dicentes : Gladius et fames non erit in terra hac : In gladio et fame consumentur prophetæ illi.
16And the peoples to whom they prophesy, shall be cast forth in the ways of Jerusalem through famine and sword, and there shall be none to bury them; they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their evil upon them.And the peoples to whom they prophecie, shal be castforth in the waies of Ierusalem through famine and sword, and there shal be none to burie them; they and their wiues, their sonnes and their daughters, and I wil power out their euil vpon them.✦Et populi quibus prophetant erunt projecti in viis Jerusalem præ fame et gladio, et non erit qui sepeliat eos : ipsi et uxores eorum, filii et filiæ eorum : et effundam super eos malum suum.
17And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes shed tears night and day, and not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people, is afflicted with great affliction, with a very sore plague exceedingly.And thou shalt say this word vnto them: Let mine eies shede teares night and day, and not cease, because the ⟦right-margin (at 14:17)⟧✦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.

For the prophet and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.If I shal goe out to the fieldes, loe the slaine with the sword: and if I enter into the citie, loe the pyned away with famine. For the prophet and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.✦Si egressus fuero ad agros, ecce occisi gladio : et si introiero in civitatem, ecce attenuati fame. Propheta quoque et sacerdos abierunt in terram quam ignorabant.
19Why, casting off hast thou cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou stricken us, so that there is no health? we have expected peace, and there is no good: and a time of curing, and behold trouble.Why, casting of hast thou cast away Iuda, or hath thy soule abhorred Sion? why then hast thou striken vs, so that there is no health? we haue expected peace, and there is no good: and a time of curing, and behold truble.Numquid projiciens abjecisti Judam ? 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.
20We have known O Lord our impieties, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned to thee.We haue knowen ô Lord our impieties, the iniquities of our fathers, because we haue sinned to thee.Cognovimus, Domine, impietates nostras, iniquitates patrum nostrorum, quia peccavimus tibi.
21Give us not into reproach for thy name's sake, neither make us to have the contumeliam: dishonour, disgrace, insult of the throne of thy glory: remember, make not thy covenant with us void.Geue vs not into reproche for thy names sake, neither make vs to haue the contumelie of the throne of thy glorie: remember, make not thy couenant with vs voide.✦Ne des nos in opprobrium, propter nomen tuum, neque facias nobis contumeliam solii gloriæ tuæ : recordare, ne irritum facias fœdus tuum nobiscum.
22Why, are there among the sculptilibus: graven idols of the Gentiles that can rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have expected? for thou hast made all these things.Why, are there among the sculptils of the Gentiles that can raine? or can the heauens geue showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we haue expected? for thou hast made al these thinges.✦Numquid sunt in sculptilibus gentium qui pluant ? aut cæli possunt dare imbres ? nonne tu es Dominus Deus noster, quem exspectavimus ? tu enim fecisti omnia hæc.
