1Oh kung ang aking ulo lamang ay maging tubig, at ang aking mga mata ay bukalan ng mga luha, upang ako'y makaiyak araw at gabi dahil sa pagkamatay ng anak na babae ng aking bayan! 2Oh kung magkaroon ako sa ilang ng patuluyan sa mga naglalakad; upang aking maiwan ang aking bayan, at lisanin ko sila! sapagka't silang lahat ay mangangalunya, kapulungan ng mga taong taksil! 3At pinamimilantik nila ang kanilang dila gaya ng kanilang busog, dahil sa kabulaanan; at sila'y nagsisitakas sa lupain, nguni't hindi para sa katotohanan: sapagka't sila'y nagpatuloy mula sa kasamaan hanggang sa kasamaan, at hindi nila ako nakikilala, sabi ng Panginoon. 4Mangagingat bawa't isa sa inyo sa kaniyang kapuwa, at huwag kayong mangagkatiwala sa kanino mang kapatid; sapagka't bawa't kapatid ay mangaagaw, at bawa't kapuwa ay makikisama sa mapanirang puri. 5At mangagdaya bawa't isa sa kanila sa kaniyang kapuwa, at hindi mangagsasalita ng katotohanan: kanilang tinuruan ang kanilang dila na magsalita ng kabulaanan; sila'y nangagpakapagod upang gumawa ng kasamaan. 6Ang iyong tahanan ay nasa gitna ng pangdadaya: dahil sa pangdadaya ay ayaw silang kumilala sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon. 7Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Narito, aking lilituhin sila, at susubukin sila; sapagka't ano pa ang aking magagawa, dahil sa anak na babae ng aking bayan? 8Ang kanilang dila ay panang nakamamatay; nagsasalita ng karayaan: nagsasalitang may kapayapaan ng kaniyang bibig sa kaniyang kapuwa, nguni't bumabakay siya ng kaniyang puso sa kaniya. 9Hindi ko baga dadalawin sila dahil sa mga bagay na ito? sabi ng Panginoon; hindi baga manghihiganti ako sa isang bansa na gaya nito? 10Sa mga bundok ay maglalakas ako ng pagiyak at pananangis, at sa mga sabsaban sa ilang ay panaghoy, sapagka't nasunog ang mga yaon, na anopa't walang dumaraan; hindi man narinig ng mga tao ang angal ng kawan; ang mga ibon sa himpapawid at gayon din ang mga hayop sa parang ay nagsitakas, ang mga ito'y nagsiyaon. 11At aking gagawin na mga bundok ang Jerusalem, na tahanang dako ng mga chakal; at aking sisirain ang mga bayan ng Juda, na walang mananahan. 12Sino ang pantas na makakaunawa nito? at sino siya na pinagsalitaan ng bibig ng Panginoon, upang kaniyang maipahayag? bakit ang lupain ay napupugnaw at nasusunog na parang ilang, na anopa't walang dumaraan? 13At sinabi ng Panginoon, Sapagka't kanilang pinabayaan ang aking kautusan na aking inilagay sa harap nila, at hindi nagsisunod sa aking tinig, o nilakaran man nila; 14Kundi sila'y nagsisunod sa pagmamatigas ng kanilang sariling puso, at nagsisunod sa mga Baal, na itinuro sa kanila ng kanilang mga magulang; 15Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Narito, aking pakakanin sila, ang bayang ito, ng ajenjo, at bibigyan ko sila ng inuming mapait upang inumin. 16Akin ding pangangalatin sila sa gitna ng mga bansa, na hindi nakilala kahit nila o ng kanilang mga magulang man; at ipahahabol ko sila sa tabak, hanggang sa aking malipol sila. 17Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Kayo'y mangagdilidili, at magsitawag ng mga tagapanangis na babae, upang sila'y mangakaparito; at inyong ipasundo ang mga bihasang babae, upang sila'y mangakaparito: 18At mangagmadali sila, at mangaglakas sila ng panangis dahil sa atin, upang ang ating mga mata ay daluyan ng mga luha, at ang ating mga talukapmata ay labasan ng tubig. 19Sapagka't ang tinig ng panangis ay naririnig mula sa Sion, Ano't tayo'y nasisira! tayo'y lubhang nangalito, sapagka't ating pinabayaan ang lupain, sapagka't kanilang ibinagsak ang ating mga tahanan. 20Gayon ma'y inyong dinggin ang salita ng Panginoon, Oh ninyong mga babae, at tanggapin ng inyong pakinig ang salita ng kaniyang bibig; at turuan ninyo ang inyong mga anak na babae ng panangis, at turuan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang kapuwa ng panaghoy. 21Sapagka't ang kamatayan ay sumampa sa loob ng ating mga dungawan, ito'y pumasok sa ating mga palacio; upang ihiwalay ang mga anak sa labas, at ang mga binata sa mga lansangan. 22Salitain mo: Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ang mga bangkay ng mga tao ay mangabubuwal na parang dumi sa luwal na parang, at parang bigkis sa likod ng manggagapas: at walang dadampot. 23Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Huwag magmapuri ang pantas sa kaniyang karunungan, o magmapuri man ang makapangyarihan sa kaniyang kapangyarihan, huwag magmapuri ang mayaman sa kaniyang kayamanan; 24Kundi magmapuri sa ganito ang lumuluwalhati, na kaniyang nauunawa, at kaniyang nakikilala ako, na ako ang Panginoon na nagsasagawa sa lupa ng kagandahang-loob, kahatulan at katuwiran; sapagka't sa mga bagay na ito ay nalulugod ako, sabi ng Panginoon. 25Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, sabi ng Panginoon, na aking parurusahan silang lahat na nangatuli sa hindi tunay na pagkatuli. 26Ang Egipto, at ang Juda, at ang Edom, at ang mga anak ni Ammon, at ang Moab, at lahat ng nagsisigupit ng laylayan ng kaniyang buhok, na nagsisitahan sa ilang; sapagka't lahat ng mga bansa ay hindi tuli, at ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel ay hindi tuli sa puso.
1Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! 2Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. 3They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me, says Yahweh. 4Take heed everyone of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders. 5They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says Yahweh. 7Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people? 8Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays wait for him. 9Shall I not visit them for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 10For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the livestock; both the birds of the sky and the animals are fled, they are gone. 11I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant. 12Who is the wise man, that may understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? 13Yahweh says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein, 14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them; 15therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 16I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them. 17Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come: 18and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. 19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings. 20Yet hear Yahweh’s word, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation. 21For death has come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets. 22Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and no one shall gather them. 23Thus says Yahweh, Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don’t let the rich man glory in his riches; 24but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh. 25Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in uncircumcision: 26Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
1Och, dat mijn hoofd water ware, en mijn oog een springader van tranen! zo zou ik dag en nacht bewenen de verslagenen van de dochter mijns volks. 2Och, dat ik in de woestijn een herberg der wandelaars had, zo zou ik mijn volk verlaten, en van hen trekken; want zij zijn allen overspelers, een trouweloze hoop. 3En zij spannen hun tong als hun boog tot leugen; zij worden geweldig in het land, doch niet tot waarheid; want zij gaan voort van boosheid tot boosheid, maar Mij kennen zij niet, spreekt de HEERE. 4Wacht u, een iegelijk van zijn vriend, en vertrouwt niet op enigen broeder; want elk broeder doet niet dan bedriegen, en elk vriend wandelt in achterklap. 5En zij handelen bedriegelijk, een ieder met zijn vriend, en spreken de waarheid niet; zij leren hun tong leugen spreken, zij maken zich moede met verkeerdelijk te handelen. 6Uw woning is in het midden van bedrog; door bedrog weigeren zij Mij te kennen, spreekt de HEERE. 7Daarom zegt de HEERE der heirscharen alzo: Ziet, Ik zal hen smelten en zal hen beproeven; want hoe zou Ik anders doen ten aanzien der dochter Mijns volks? 8Hun tong is een moordpijl, zij spreekt bedrog; een ieder spreekt met zijn naaste van vrede met zijn mond, maar in zijn binnenste legt hij lagen. 9Zou Ik hen om deze dingen niet bezoeken? spreekt de HEERE; zou Mijn ziel zich niet wreken aan zulk een volk, als dit is? 10Ik zal een geween en een weeklage opheffen over de bergen, en een klaaglied over de herdershutten der woestijn; want zij zijn afgebrand, dat er niemand doorgaat, en men hoort er geen stem van vee; van de vogelen des hemels aan tot de beesten toe zijn zij weggezworven, doorgegaan! 11En Ik zal Jeruzalem stellen tot steen hopen, tot een woning der draken; en de steden van Juda zal Ik stellen tot een verwoesting, zonder inwoner. 12Wie is de wijze man, die dit versta? En tot wien heeft de mond des HEEREN gesproken, dat hij het verkondige, waarom het land vergaan en afgebrand zij als een woestijn, dat er niemand doorgaat? 13En de HEERE zeide: Omdat zij Mijn wet, die Ik voor hun aangezicht gegeven had, verlaten hebben, en naar Mijn stem niet gehoord, noch daarnaar gewandeld hebben; 14Maar hebben gewandeld naar het goeddunken huns harten, en naar de Baals, hetwelk hun vaders hun geleerd hadden. 15Daarom zegt de HEERE der heirscharen, de God Israels, alzo: Ziet, Ik zal dit volk spijzen met alsem, en Ik zal hen drenken met gallewater; 16En Ik zal hen verstrooien onder de heidenen, die zij niet gekend hebben, zij noch hun vaders; en Ik zal het zwaard achter hen zenden, totdat Ik hen verteerd zal hebben. 17Zo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Merkt daarop, en roept klaagvrouwen, dat zij komen; en zendt henen naar de wijze vrouwen, dat zij komen. 18En haasten, en een weeklage over ons opheffen, dat onze ogen van tranen nederdalen, en onze oogleden van water vlieten. 19Want er is een stem van weeklage gehoord uit Sion: Hoe zijn wij verstoord! wij zijn zeer beschaamd, omdat wij het land hebben verlaten, omdat zij onze woningen hebben omgeworpen. 20Hoort dan des HEEREN woord, gij vrouwen! en uw oor ontvange het woord Zijns monds, en leert uw dochters weeklagen, en elke een haar metgezellin klaagliederen. 21Want de dood is geklommen in onze vensteren, hij is in onze paleizen gekomen, om de kinderkens uit te roeien van de wijken, de jongelingen van de straten. 22Spreek: Zo spreekt de HEERE: Ja, een dood lichaam des mensen zal liggen, als mest op het open veld, en als een garve achter den maaier, die niemand opzamelt. 23Zo zegt de HEERE: Een wijze beroeme zich niet in zijn wijsheid, en de sterke beroeme zich niet in zijn sterkheid; een rijke beroeme zich niet in zijn rijkdom; 24Maar die zich beroemt, beroeme zich hierin, dat hij verstaat, en Mij kent, dat Ik de HEERE ben, doende weldadigheid, recht en gerechtigheid op de aarde, want in die dingen heb Ik lust, spreekt de HEERE. 25Ziet, de dagen komen, spreekt de HEERE, dat Ik bezoeking zal doen over alle besnedenen, met degenen, die de voorhuid hebben; 26Over Egypte, en over Juda, en over Edom, en over de kinderen Ammons, en over Moab, en over allen, die aan de hoeken afgekort zijn, die in de woestijn wonen; want al de heidenen hebben de voorhuid, maar het ganse huis Israels heeft de voorhuid des harten.
