Original text and translations

Latin text Popule meus, quid feci tibi aut quid molestus fui? Responde mihi. (Micha 6,3) Numquid redditur pro bono malum, quia foderunt foveam animae meae. (Ieremias 18;20)

English translation O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested thee? answer thou me. Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul?

Hungarian translation Én népem, mit tettem neked? Vagy miben voltam terhedre? Felelj nekem! Vajon rosszal szokás-e fizetni a jóért, hogy vermet ástak lelkemnek?
