Jeremias 20
1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
et audivit Phassur filius Emmer sacerdos qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini Hieremiam prophetantem sermones istos
2 And he smote him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.
et percussit Phassur Hieremiam prophetam et misit eum in nervum quod erat in porta Beniamin superiori in domo Domini
3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon: and Jeremias said to him, [The Lord] has not called thy name Paschor, but Exile.
cumque inluxisset in crastinum eduxit Phassur Hieremiam de nervo et dixit ad eum Hieremias non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum sed Pavorem undique
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give thee up to captivity with all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]: and I will give thee and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.
quia haec dicit Dominus ecce ego dabo te in pavorem te et omnes amicos tuos et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum et oculi tui videbunt et omnem Iudam dabo in manu regis Babylonis et traducet eos in Babylonem et percutiet eos gladio
5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.
et dabo universam substantiam civitatis huius et omnem laborem eius omneque pretium et cunctos thesauros regum Iuda dabo in manu inimicorum eorum et diripient eos et tollent et ducent in Babylonem
6 And thou and all the dwellers in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt die in Babylon, and there thou and all thy friends shall be buried, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
tu autem Phassur et omnes habitatores domus tuae ibitis in captivitatem et in Babylonem venies et ibi morieris ibique sepelieris tu et omnes amici tui quibus prophetasti mendacium
7 Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived: thou hast been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock, I am continually mocked every day.
seduxisti me Domine et seductus sum fortior me fuisti et invaluisti factus sum in derisum tota die omnes subsannant me
8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call upon rebellion and misery: for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.
quia iam olim loquor vociferans iniquitatem et vastitatem clamito et factus est mihi sermo Domini in obprobrium et in derisum tota die
9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and cannot bear [up].
et dixi non recordabor eius neque loquar ultra in nomine illius et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exaestuans claususque in ossibus meis et defeci ferre non sustinens
10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, [saying], Conspire ye, and let us conspire together against him, [even] all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.
audivi enim contumelias multorum et terrorem in circuitu persequimini et persequamur eum ab omnibus viris qui erant pacifici mei et custodientes latus meum si quo modo decipiatur et praevaleamus adversus eum et consequamur ultionem ex eo
11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war: therefore they persecuted [me], but could not perceive [anything against me]; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.
Dominus autem mecum est quasi bellator fortis idcirco qui persequuntur me cadent et infirmi erunt confundentur vehementer quia non intellexerunt obprobrium sempiternum quod numquam delebitur
12 O Lord, that provest just [deeds], understanding the reins and hearts, let me see thy vengeance upon them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.
et tu Domine exercituum probator iusti qui vides renes et cor videam quaeso ultionem tuam ex eis tibi enim revelavi causam meam
13 Sing ye to the Lord, sing praise to him: for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.
cantate Domino laudate Dominum quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.
maledicta dies in qua natus sum dies in qua peperit me mater mea non sit benedicta
15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to thee.
maledictus vir qui adnuntiavit patri meo dicens natus est tibi puer masculus et quasi gaudio laetificavit eum
16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;
sit homo ille ut sunt civitates quas subvertit Dominus et non paenituit eum audiat clamorem mane et ululatum in tempore meridiano
17 because he slew me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.
qui non me interfecit a vulva ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulchrum et vulva eius conceptus aeternus
18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
quare de vulva egressus sum ut viderem laborem et dolorem et consumerentur in confusione dies mei
