Jeremias 11
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est a Domino ad Ieremiam, dicens:
2 Hear you the words of this covenant, and you shall speak to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem;
Audite verba pacti huius, et loquimini ad viros Iuda, et ad habitatores Ierusalem,
3 and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Cursed is the man, who shall not listen to the words of this covenant,
et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Maledictus vir, qui non audierit verba pacti huius,
4 which I commanded your fathers, in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so shall you be to me a people, and I will be to you a God;
quod praecepi patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens: Audite vocem meam, et facite omnia, quae praecipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum:
5 that I may confirm mine oath, which I sware to your fathers, to give them a land flowing [with] milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, O Lord.
ut suscitem iuramentum, quod iuravi patribus vestris daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte, et melle, sicut est dies haec. Et respondi, et dixi: Amen Domine.
6 And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Vociferare omnia verba haec in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, dicens: Audite verba pacti huius, et facite illa:
quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc: mane consurgens contestatus sum, et dixi: Audite vocem meam:
8 But they did [them] not.
et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed abierunt unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali: et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti huius, quod praecepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.
9 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found amongst the men of Juda, and amongst the dwellers in Jerusalem.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Inventa est coniuratio in viris Iuda, et in habitatoribus Ierusalem.
10 They are turned [aside] to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not listen to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them: and the house of Israel and the house of Juda have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores, qui noluerunt audire verba mea: et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, ut servirent eis: irritum fecerunt domus Israel, et domus Iuda pactum meum, quod pepigi cum patribus eorum.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evils upon this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
Quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego inducam super eos mala, de quibus exire non poterunt: et clamabunt ad me, et non exaudiam eos.
12 And the cities of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles.
Et ibunt civitates Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem, et clamabunt ad eos, quibus libant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to burn incense to Baal.
Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui Iuda: et secundum numerum viarum Ierusalem posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.
14 And you, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer: for I will not hear in the day in which they call upon me, in the day of their affliction.
Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc, et ne assumas pro eis laudem et orationem: quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in tempore afflictionis eorum.
15 Why has [my] beloved wrought abomination in my house? will prayers and holy offerings take away your wickedness from you, or shall you escape by these things?
Quid est, quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa? numquid carnes sanctae auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus gloriata es?
16 The Lord called your name a fair olive tree, of a goodly shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction [coming] upon you: her branches are become good for nothing.
Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructiferam, speciosam vocavit Dominus nomen tuum: ad vocem loquelae, grandis exarsit ignis in ea, et combusta sunt fruteta eius.
17 And the Lord that planted you has pronounced evils against you, because of the iniquity of the house of Israel and the house of Juda, whatever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
Et Dominus exercituum qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum: pro malis domus Israel et domus Iuda, quae fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me, libantes Baalim.
18 O Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices.
Tu autem Domine demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi: tu ostendisti mihi studia eorum.
19 But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, knew not: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let us put wood into his bread, and let us utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more.
Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam: et non cognovi quia cogitaverunt super me consilia, dicentes: Mittamus lignum in panem eius, et eradamus eum de terra viventium, et nomen eius non memoretur amplius.
20 O Lord, that judge righteously, trying the reins and hearts, let me see your vengeance [taken] upon them, for to you I have declared my cause.
Tu autem Domine Sabaoth, qui iudicas iuste, et probas renes et corda, videam ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, You shall not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if you do, you shall die by our hands:
Propterea haec dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth, qui quaerunt animam tuam, et dicunt: Non prophetabis in nomine Domini, et non morieris in manibus nostris.
22 behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine:
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego visitabo super eos: iuvenes morientur in gladio, filii eorum, et filiae eorum morientur in fame.
23 and there shall be no remnant [left] of them; for I will bring evil upon the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation.
Et reliquiae non erunt ex eis: inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth, annum visitationis eorum.
