Jeremias 22
1 Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
haec dicit Dominus descende in domum regis Iuda et loqueris ibi verbum hoc
2 and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
et dices audi verbum Domini rex Iuda qui sedes super solium David tu et servi tui et populus tuus qui ingredimini per portas istas
3 thus says the Lord; Execute you judgement and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
haec dicit Dominus facite iudicium et iustitiam et liberate vi oppressum de manu calumniatoris et advenam et pupillum et viduam nolite contristare neque opprimatis inique et sanguinem innocentem ne effundatis in loco isto
4 For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
si enim facientes feceritis verbum istud ingredientur per portas domus huius reges sedentes de genere David super thronum eius et ascendentes currus et equos ipsi et servi et populus eorum
5 But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
quod si non audieritis verba haec in memet ipso iuravi dicit Dominus quia in solitudinem erit domus haec
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
quia haec dicit Dominus super domum regis Iuda Galaad tu mihi caput Libani si non posuero te solitudinem urbes inhabitabiles
7 and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
et sanctificabo super te interficientem virum et arma eius et succident electam cedrum tuam et praecipitabunt in ignem
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
et pertransibunt gentes multae per civitatem hanc et dicet unusquisque proximo suo quare fecit Dominus sic civitati huic grandi
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
et respondebunt eo quod dereliquerint pactum Domini Dei sui et adoraverint deos alienos et servierint eis
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
nolite flere mortuum neque lugeatis super eum fletu plangite eum qui egreditur quia non revertetur ultra nec videbit terram nativitatis suae
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
quia haec dicit Dominus ad Sellum filium Iosiae regem Iuda qui regnavit pro Iosia patre suo qui egressus est de loco isto non revertetur huc amplius
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum ibi morietur et terram istam non videbit amplius
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgement, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
vae qui aedificat domum suam in iniustitia et cenacula sua non in iudicio amicum suum opprimet frustra et mercedem eius non reddet ei
14 You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
qui dicit aedificabo mihi domum latam et cenacula spatiosa qui aperit sibi fenestras et facit laquearia cedrina pingitque sinopide
15 Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgement and justice.
numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit et fecit iudicium et iustitiam tunc cum bene erat ei
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
iudicavit causam pauperis et egeni in bonum suum numquid non ideo quia cognovit me dicit Dominus
17 Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
tui vero oculi et cor ad avaritiam et ad sanguinem innocentem fundendum et ad calumniam et ad cursum mali operis
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
propterea haec dicit Dominus ad Ioachim filium Iosiae regem Iuda non plangent eum vae frater et vae fratres non concrepabunt ei vae domine et vae inclite
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
sepultura asini sepelietur putrefactus et proiectus extra portas Hierusalem
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
ascende Libanum et clama et in Basan da vocem tuam et clama ad transeuntes quia contriti sunt omnes amatores tui
21 I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
locutus sum ad te in abundantia tua dixisti non audiam haec est via tua ab adulescentia tua quia non audisti vocem meam
22 The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
omnes pastores tuos pascet ventus et amatores tui in captivitatem ibunt et tunc confunderis et erubesces ab omni malitia tua
23 O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
quae sedes in Libano et nidificas in cedris quomodo congemuisti cum venissent tibi dolores quasi dolores parturientis
24 [As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
vivo ego dicit Dominus quia si fuerit Iechonias filius Ioachim regis Iuda anulus in manu dextera mea inde avellam eum
25 and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
et dabo te in manu quaerentium animam tuam et in manu quorum tu formidas faciem et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis et in manu Chaldeorum
26 And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
et mittam te et matrem tuam quae genuit te in terram alienam in qua nati non estis ibique moriemini
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
et in terram ad quam ipsi levant animam suam ut revertantur illuc non revertentur
28 Jechonias is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
numquid vas fictile atque contritum vir iste Iechonias numquid vas absque omni voluptate quare abiecti sunt ipse et semen eius et proiecti in terram quam ignoraverunt
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
terra terra terra audi sermonem Domini
30 Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
haec dicit Dominus scribe virum istum sterilem virum qui in diebus suis non prosperabitur nec enim erit de semine eius vir qui sedeat super solium David et potestatem habeat ultra in Iuda
