Original text and translations

Jer. 31:15

Latin.png Latin text

Vox in Rama audita est,
ploratus et ululatus multus.
Rachel plorans filios suos,
noluit consolari, quia non sunt.

(Clemens has the same text less the word 'multus')


English.png English translation

A voice is heard in Ramah
of weeping and great lamentation.
Rachel is weeping for her children,
and will not be comforted because they are no more.


(translation by Mick Swithinbank)

File:Flag-deu.png German translation (as used in SWV 396):

Auf dem Gebirge hat man ein Geschrei gehöret, viel Klagens, Weinens und Heulens,
Rahel beweinete ihre Kinder und wollt sich nicht trösten lassen, denn es war aus mit ihnen.
