Jeremiah 44
1 The word which came to Jeremiah about all the Jews who were living in the land of Egypt, in Migdol and at Tahpanhes and at Noph and in the country of Pathros, saying,
verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam ad omnes Iudaeos qui habitant in terra Aegypti habitantes in Magdolo et in Tafnis et in Memphis et in terra Fatures dicens
2 The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You have seen all the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah; and now, this day they are waste and unpeopled;
haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel vos vidistis omne malum istud quod adduxi super Hierusalem et super omnes urbes Iuda et ecce sunt desertae hodie et non est in eis habitator
3 Because of the evil which they have done, moving me to wrath by burning perfumes in worship to other gods, who were not their gods or yours or the gods of their fathers.
propter malitiam quam fecerunt ut me ad iracundiam provocarent et irent et sacrificarent et colerent deos alienos quos nesciebant et illi et vos et patres vestri
4 And I sent all my servants the prophets to you, getting up early and sending them, saying, Do not do this disgusting thing which is hated by me.
et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas de nocte consurgens mittensque et dicens nolite facere verbum abominationis huius quam odi
5 But they gave no attention, and their ears were not open so that they might be turned from their evil-doing and from burning perfume to other gods.
et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam ut converterentur a malis suis et non sacrificarent diis alienis
6 Because of this, my passion and my wrath were let loose, burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are waste and unpeopled as at this day.
et conflata est indignatio mea et furor meus et succensa est in civitatibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem et versae sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc
7 So now, the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Why are you doing this great evil against yourselves, causing every man and woman, little child and baby at the breast among you in Judah to be cut off till not one is still living;
et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel quare vos facitis malum grande contra animas vestras ut intereat ex vobis vir et mulier parvulus et lactans de medio Iudae nec relinquatur vobis quicquam residuum
8 Moving me to wrath with the work of your hands, burning perfumes to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to make a place for yourselves, so that you may become a curse and a name of shame among all the nations of the earth?
provocantes me in operibus manuum vestrarum sacrificando diis alienis in terra Aegypti in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi et dispereatis et sitis in maledictionem et in obprobrium cunctis gentibus terrae
9 Have you no memory of the evil-doing of your fathers, and the evil-doing of the kings of Judah, and the evil-doing of their wives, and the evil which you yourselves have done, and the evil which your wives have done, in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
numquid obliti estis mala patrum vestrorum et mala regum Iuda et mala uxorum eius et mala vestra et mala uxorum vestrarum quae fecerunt in terra Iuda et in regionibus Hierusalem
10 Even to this day their hearts are not broken, and they have no fear, and have not gone in the way of my law or of my rules which I gave to you and to your fathers.
non sunt mundati usque ad diem hanc et non timuerunt et non ambulaverunt in lege et in praeceptis meis quae dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris
11 So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my face will be turned against you for evil, for the cutting off of all Judah;
ideo haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego pono faciem meam in vobis in malum et disperdam omnem Iudam
12 And I will take the last of Judah, whose minds are fixed on going into the land of Egypt and stopping there, and they will all come to their end, falling in the land of Egypt by the sword and by being short of food and by disease; death will overtake them, from the least to the greatest, death by the sword and by need of food: they will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame.
et adsumam reliquias Iudae qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur terram Aegypti et habitarent ibi et consumentur omnes in terra Aegypti cadent in gladio et in fame consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum in gladio et in fame morientur et erunt in iusiurandum et in miraculum et in maledictionem et in obprobrium
13 For I will send punishment on those who are living in the land of Egypt, as I have sent punishment on Jerusalem, by the sword and by need of food and by disease:
et visitabo habitatores terrae Aegypti sicut visitavi super Hierusalem in gladio et in fame et in peste
14 So that not one of the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will get away or keep his life, to come back to the land of Judah where they are hoping to come back and be living again: for not one will come back, but only those who are able to get away.
et non erit qui effugiat et sit residuus de reliquiis Iudaeorum qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in terra Aegypti et revertantur in terram Iuda ad quam ipsi elevant animas suas ut revertantur et habitent ibi non revertentur nisi qui fugerint
15 Then all the men who had knowledge that their wives were burning perfumes to other gods, and all the women who were present, a great meeting, answering Jeremiah, said,
responderunt autem Hieremiae omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis et universae mulieres quarum stabat multitudo grandis et omnis populus habitantium in terra Aegypti in Fatures dicens
16 As for the word which you have said to us in the name of the Lord, we will not give ear to you.
sermonem quem locutus es ad nos in nomine Domini non audiemus ex te
17 But we will certainly do every word which has gone out of our mouths, burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her as we did, we and our fathers and our kings and our rulers, in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then we had food enough and did well and saw no evil.
sed facientes faciemus omne verbum quod egreditur de ore nostro ut sacrificemus Reginae caeli et libemus ei libamina sicut fecimus nos et patres nostri reges nostri et principes nostri in urbibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem et saturati sumus panibus et bene nobis erat malumque non vidimus
18 But from the time when we gave up burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, we have been in need of all things, and have been wasted by the sword and by need of food.
ex eo autem quo cessavimus sacrificare Reginae caeli et libare ei libamina indigemus omnibus et gladio et fame consumpti sumus
19 And the women said, When we were burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes in her image and give her our drink offerings without the knowledge of our husbands?
quod si nos sacrificamus Reginae caeli et libamus ei libamina numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam et liba libandi
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and women and all the people who had given him that answer,
et dixit Hieremias ad omnem populum adversum viros et adversum mulieres et adversum universam plebem qui responderant ei verbum dicens
21 The perfumes which you have been burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers and your kings and your rulers and the people of the land, had the Lord no memory of them, and did he not keep them in mind?
numquid non sacrificium quod sacrificastis in civitatibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem vos et patres vestri reges vestri et principes vestri et populus terrae horum recordatus est Dominus et ascendit super cor eius
22 And the Lord was no longer able to put up with the evil of your doings and the disgusting things you did; and because of this your land has become a waste and a cause of wonder and a curse, with no one living in it, as at this day.
et non poterat Dominus ultra portare propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum et propter abominationes quas fecistis et facta est terra vestra in desolationem et in stuporem et in maledictum eo quod non sit habitator sicut est dies haec
23 Because you have been burning perfumes, and sinning against the Lord, and have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, or gone in the way of his law or his rules or his orders; for this reason this evil has come on you, as it is today.
propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis et peccaveritis Domino et non audieritis vocem Domini et in lege et in praeceptis et in testimoniis eius non ambulaveritis idcirco evenerunt vobis mala haec sicut est dies haec
24 Further, Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all those of Judah who are living in Egypt:
dixit autem Hieremias ad omnem populum et ad universas mulieres audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda qui estis in terra Aegypti
25 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You women have said with your mouths, and with your hands you have done what you said, We will certainly give effect to the oaths we have made, to have perfumes burned to the queen of heaven and drink offerings drained out to her: then give effect to your oaths and do them.
haec inquit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel dicens vos et uxores vestrae locuti estis ore vestro et manibus vestris implestis dicentes faciamus vota nostra quae vovimus ut sacrificemus Reginae caeli et libemus ei libamina implestis vota vestra et opere perpetrastis ea
26 And now give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt: Truly, I have taken an oath by my great name, says the Lord, that my name is no longer to be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, By the life of the Lord God.
ideo audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda qui habitatis in terra Aegypti ecce ego iuravi in nomine meo magno ait Dominus quia nequaquam ultra nomen meum vocabitur ex ore omnis viri iudaei dicentis vivit Dominus Deus in omni terra Aegypti
27 See, I am watching over them for evil and not for good: all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be wasted by the sword and by need of food till there is an end of them.
ecce ego vigilabo super eos in malum et non in bonum et consumentur omnes viri Iuda qui sunt in terra Aegypti gladio et fame donec penitus consumantur
28 And those who get away safe from the sword will come back from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, a very small number; and all the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will see whose word has effect, mine or theirs.
et qui fugerint gladium revertentur de terra Aegypti in terram Iuda viri pauci et scient omnes reliquiae Iuda ingredientium terram Aegypti ut habitent ibi cuius sermo conpleatur meus an illorum
29 And this will be the sign to you, says the Lord, that I will give you punishment in this place, so that you may see that my words will certainly have effect against you for evil:
et hoc vobis signum ait Dominus quod visitem ego super vos in loco isto ut sciatis quia vere conplebuntur sermones mei contra vos in malum
30 The Lord has said, See, I will give up Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, into the hands of those who are fighting against him and desiring to take his life, as I gave Zedekiah, king of Judah, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, his hater, who had designs against his life.
haec dicit Dominus ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Efree regem Aegypti in manu inimicorum eius et in manu quaerentium animam illius sicut tradidi Sedeciam regem Iuda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui et quaerentis animam eius
