Jeremiah 25

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),

Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam, de omni populo Juda, in anno quarto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis),

2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

quod locutus est Jeremias propheta ad omnem populum Juda, et ad universos habitatores Jerusalem, dicens:

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

A tertiodecimo anno Josiæ filii Amon regis Juda, usque ad diem hanc, iste tertius et vigesimus annus, factum est verbum Domini ad me, et locutus sum ad vos, de nocte consurgens et loquens, et non audistis.

4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,

Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque: et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis,

5 when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever.

cum diceret: Revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala, et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris, et habitabitis in terra quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris, a sæculo et usque in sæculum:

6 And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

et nolite ire post deos alienos, ut serviatis eis, adoretisque eos: neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligam vos.

7 But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt.

Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum, in malum vestrum.

8 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words,

Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea,

9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes.

ecce ego mittam et assumam universas cognationes aquilonis, ait Dominus, et Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum, et adducam eos super terram istam, et super habitatores ejus, et super omnes nationes quæ in circuitu illius sunt: et interficiam eos, et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum, et in solitudines sempiternas.

10 And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ, vocem molæ et lumen lucernæ.

11 And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Et erit universa terra hæc in solitudinem, et in stuporem: et servient omnes gentes istæ regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations.

Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo super regem Babylonis et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum, et super terram Chaldæorum, et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.

13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

Et adducam super terram illam omnia verba mea, quæ locutus sum contra eam, omne quod scriptum est in libro isto, quæcumque prophetavit Jeremias adversum omnes gentes:

14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

quia servierunt eis, cum essent gentes multæ, et reges magni: et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.

15 For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.

Quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Sume calicem vini furoris hujus de manu mea, et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te.

16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Et bibent, et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos.

17 And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:

Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus ad quas misit me Dominus,

18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

Jerusalem, et civitatibus Juda, et regibus ejus, et principibus ejus, ut darem eos in solitudinem, et in stuporem, et in sibilum, et in maledictionem, sicut est dies ista:

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

Pharaoni regi Ægypti, et servis ejus, et principibus ejus, et omni populo ejus:

20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

et universis generaliter: cunctis regibus terræ Ausitidis, et cunctis regibus terræ Philisthiim, et Ascaloni, et Gazæ, et Accaron, et reliquiis Azoti:

21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

et Idumææ, et Moab, et filiis Ammon:

22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;

et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis, et regibus terræ insularum qui sunt trans mare:

23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;

et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam:

24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;

et cunctis regibus Arabiæ, et cunctis regibus occidentis, qui habitant in deserto:

25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum:

26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

cunctis quoque regibus aquilonis, de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum: et omnibus regnis terræ quæ super faciem ejus sunt: et rex Sesach bibet post eos.

27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you.

Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite: et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos.

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink.

Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:

29 For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.

quia ecce in civitate in qua invocatum est nomen meum ego incipiam affligere, et vos quasi innocentes et immunes eritis? non eritis immunes: gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum.

30 And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba hæc, et dices ad illos: Dominus de excelso rugiet, et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam: rugiens rugiet super decorem suum: celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terræ.

31 The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah.

Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terræ, quia judicium Domino cum gentibus: judicatur ipse cum omni carne. Impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.

32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem, et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terræ.

33 And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.

Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa, a summo terræ usque ad summum ejus: non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terræ jacebunt.

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.

Ululate, pastores, et clamate, et aspergite vos cinere, optimates gregis: quia completi sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini, et dissipationes vestræ: et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.

35 And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock.

Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.

36 There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture;

Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis, quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum:

37 and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie iræ furoris Domini.

38 He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie iræ columbæ, et a facie iræ furoris Domini.
