Jeremiah 43
1 When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
Factum est autem, cum complesset Ieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum, pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos, omnia verba hæc:
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
dixit Azarias filius Osaiæ, et Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes viri superbi, dicentes ad Ieremiam: Mendacium tu loqueris: non misit te Dominus Deus noster, dicens: Ne ingrediamini Ægyptum ut habitetis illuc.
3 Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
Sed Baruch filius Neriæ incitat te adversum nos, ut tradat nos in manus Chaldæorum, ut interficiat nos, et traduci faciat in Babylonem.
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
Et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, et universus populus vocem Domini ut manerent in Terra Iuda.
5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered,
Sed tollens Iohanan filius Caree, et universi principes bellatorum universos reliquiarum Iuda, qui reversi fuerant de cunctis gentibus, ad quas fuerant ante dispersi, ut habitarent in Terra Iuda:
6 the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
viros, et mulieres, et parvulos, et filias regis, et omnem animam, quam reliquerat Nabuzardan princeps militiæ cum Godolia filio Ahicam, filii Saphan, et Ieremiam prophetam, et Baruch filium Neriæ.
7 So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
Et ingressi sunt Terram Ægypti, quia non obedierunt voci Domini: et venerunt usque ad Taphnis.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Ieremiam in Taphnis, dicens:
9 “In the sight of the Jews, pick up some large stones and bury them in the clay of the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes.
Sume lapides grandes in manu tua, et abscondes eos in crypta, quæ est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Taphnis, cernentibus viris Iudæis:
10 Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego mittam, et assumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos, quos abscondi, et statuet solium suum super eos.
11 He will come and strike down the land of Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.
Veniensque percutiet Terram Ægypti: quos in mortem, in mortem: et quos in captivitatem, in captivitatem: et quos in gladium, in gladium.
12 I will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar will burn those temples and take their gods as captives. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself in his garment, and he will depart from there unscathed.
Et succendet ignem in delubris deorum Ægypti, et comburet ea, et captivos ducet illos: et amicietur Terra Ægypti, sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo: et egredietur inde in pace.
13 He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
Et conteret statuas domus Solis, quæ sunt in Terra Ægypti: et delubra deorum Ægypti comburet igni.
