Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah: that year was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in anno decimo Sedechiae regis Iuda: ipse est annus decimus octavus Nabuchodonosor.
2 And the king of Babylon's army was then besieging Jerusalem; and the prophet Jeremiah was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
Tunc exercitus regis Babylonis obsidebat Ierusalem: et Ieremias propheta erat clausus in atrio carceris, qui erat in domo regis Iuda.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Clauserat enim eum Sedechias rex Iuda, dicens: Quare vaticinaris, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo civitatem istam in manus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam?
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans; for he shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Et Sedechias rex Iuda non effugiet de manu Chaldaeorum: sed tradetur in manus regis Babylonis: et loquetur os eius cum ore illius, et oculi eius oculos illius videbunt.
5 and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
Et in Babylonem ducent Sedechiam: et ibi erit donec visitem eum, ait Dominus. si autem dimicaveritis adversum Chaldaeos, nihil prosperum habebitis.
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Et dixit Ieremias: Factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field which is in Anathoth; for thine is the right of redemption, to buy [it].
Ecce Hanameel filius Sellum patruelis tuus veniet ad te, dicens: Eme tibi agrum meum, qui est in Anathoth: tibi enim competit ex propinquitate ut emas.
8 And Hanameel, mine uncle's son, came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine: buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
Et venit ad me Hanameel filius patrui mei secundum verbum Domini ad vestibulum carceris, et ait ad me: Posside agrum meum, qui est in Anathoth in terra Beniamin: quia tibi competit hereditas, et tu propinquus es ut possideas. Intellexi autem quod verbum Domini esset.
9 And I bought of Hanameel, mine uncle's son, the field which is in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.
Et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est in Anathoth: et appendi ei argentum septem stateres, et decem argenteos.
10 And I subscribed the writing, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances.
Et scripsi in libro, et signavi, et adhibui testes: et appendi argentum in statera.
11 And I took the writing of the purchase, that which was sealed [according to] the law and the statutes, and that which was open;
Et accepi librum possessionis signatum, et stipulationes, et rata, et signa forinsecus.
12 and I gave the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that had subscribed the writing of purchase, before all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the guard.
Et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri filii Maasiae in oculis Hanameel patruelis mei, et in oculis testium, qui scripti erant in libro emptionis, et in oculis omnium Iudaeorum, qui sedebant in atrio carceris.
13 And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,
Et praecepi Baruch coram eis, dicens:
14 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this writing of the purchase, both that which is sealed and this writing which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Sume libros istos, librum emptionis hunc signatum, et librum hunc, qui apertus est: et pone illos in vase fictili, ut permanere possint diebus multis.
15 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be purchased in this land.
Haec enim dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Adhuc possidebuntur domus, et agri, et vineae in terra ista.
16 And after I had given the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, I prayed unto Jehovah saying,
Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri, dicens:
17 Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched-out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee:
Heu, heu, heu, Domine Deus: ecce tu fecisti caelum et terram in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento: non erit tibi difficile omne verbum:
18 who shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, thou, the great, the mighty God, — Jehovah of hosts is his name;
Qui facis misericordiam in millibus, et reddis iniquitatem patrum in sinum filiorum eorum post eos: Fortissime, magne, et potens, Dominus exercituum nomen tibi.
19 great in counsel and mighty in work, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Magnus consilio, et incomprehensibilis cogitatu: cuius oculi aperti sunt super omnes vias filiorum Adam ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas, et secundum fructum adinventionum eius.
20 who hast displayed signs and wonders unto this day, in the land of Egypt and in Israel and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day.
Qui posuisti signa et portenta in Terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc, et in Israel, et in hominibus, et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies haec.
21 And thou broughtest forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt by signs, and by wonders, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terror;
Et eduxisti populum tuum Israel de Terra Aegypti, in signis, et in portentis, et in manu robusta, et in brachio extento, et in terrore magno.
22 and didst give them this land, which thou hadst sworn unto their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Et dedisti eis terram hanc, quam iurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis terram fluentem lacte et melle.
23 And they came in and possessed it: but they hearkened not unto thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do; so that thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them.
Et ingressi sunt, et possederunt eam: et non obedierunt voci tuae, et in lege tua non ambulaverunt: omnia quae mandasti eis ut facerent, non fecerunt: et evenerunt eis omnia mala haec.
24 Behold the mounds, they are come unto the city for taking it; and the city is given over into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].
Ecce munitiones extructae sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur: et urbs data est in manus Chaldaeorum, qui praeliantur adversus eam a facie gladii, et famis, et pestilentiae: et quaecumque locutus es acciderunt, ut tu ipse cernis.
25 And thou, Lord Jehovah, thou hast said unto me, Buy for thyself the field for money, and take witnesses; — and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Et tu dicis mihi Domine Deus: Eme agrum argento, et adhibe testes: cum urbs data sit in manus Chaldaeorum?
26 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
27 Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
Ecce ego Dominus Deus universae carnis: numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum?
28 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldaeorum, et in manus regis Babylonis, et capient eam.
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come in and set fire to this city, and shall burn it, and the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Et venient Chaldaei praeliantes adversum urbem hanc, et succendent eam igne, et comburent eam, et domos, in quarum domatibus sacrificabant Baal, et libabant diis alienis libamina ad irritandum me.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.
Erant enim filii Israel, et filii Iuda iugiter facientes malum in oculis meis ab adolescentia sua: filii Israel qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuum suarum, dicit Dominus.
31 For this city hath been to me [a provocation] of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
Quia in furore et in indignatione mea facta est mihi civitas haec, a die qua aedificaverunt eam, usque ad diem istam, qua auferetur de conspectu meo.
32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Propter malitiam filiorum Israel, et filiorum Iuda, quam fecerunt ad iracundiam me provocantes, ipsi et reges eorum, principes eorum, et sacerdotes eorum, et prophetae eorum, viri Iuda et habitatores Ierusalem.
33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, rising early and teaching, they hearkened not to receive instruction.
Et verterunt ad me terga et non facies: cum docerem eos diluculo, et erudirem, et nollent audire ut acciperent disciplinam.
34 And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it;
Et posuerunt idola sua in domo, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam.
35 and they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause to pass through [the fire] their sons and their daughters unto Molech: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Et aedificaverunt excelsa Baal, quae sunt in valle filii Ennom ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch: quod non mandavi eis, nec ascendit in cor meum ut facerent abominationem hanc, et in peccatum deducerent Iudam.
36 And now therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith thus concerning this city, whereof ye say, It hath been given over into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Et nunc propter ista, haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad civitatem hanc, de qua vos dicitis quod tradetur in manus regis Babylonis in gladio, et in fame, et in peste.
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them, in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
Ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris, ad quas eieci eos in furore meo, et in ira mea, et indignatione grandi: et reducam eos ad locum istum, et habitare eos faciam confidenter.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eis in Deum.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all [their] days, for the good of them, and of their children after them.
Et dabo eis cor unum, et viam unam, ut timeant me universis diebus: et bene sit eis, et filiis eorum post eos.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not draw back from them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their heart, that they may not turn aside from me.
Et feriam eis pactum sempiternum, et non desinam eis benefacere: et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum ut non recedant a me.
41 And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Et laetabor super eis, cum bene eis fecero: et plantabo eos in terra ista in veritate in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea.
42 For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have spoken concerning them.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande: sic adducam super eos omne bonum, quod ego loquor ad eos.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Et possidebuntur agri in terra ista: de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit, eo quod non remanserit homo et iumentum, et data sit in manus Chaldaeorum.
44 [Men] shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the writings, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity, saith Jehovah.
Agri ementur pecunia, et scribentur in libro, et imprimetur signum, et testis adhibebitur: in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, in civitatibus Iuda, et in civitatibus montanis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quae ad Austrum sunt: quia convertam captivitatem eorum, ait Dominus.
