Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
haec dicit Dominus ecce ego suscitabo super Babylonem et super habitatores eius qui cor suum levaverunt contra me quasi ventum pestilentem
2 and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
et mittam in Babylonem ventilatores et ventilabunt eam et demolientur terram eius quoniam venerunt super eam undique in die adflictionis eius
3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
non tendat qui tendit arcum suum et non ascendat loricatus nolite parcere iuvenibus eius interficite omnem militiam eius
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
et cadent interfecti in terra Chaldeorum et vulnerati in regionibus eius
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
quoniam non fuit viduatus Israhel et Iuda a Deo suo Domino exercituum terra autem eorum repleta est delicto a Sancto Israhel
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
fugite de medio Babylonis et salvet unusquisque animam suam nolite tacere super iniquitatem eius quoniam tempus ultionis est Domino vicissitudinem ipse retribuet ei
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
calix aureus Babylon in manu Domini inebrians omnem terram de vino eius biberunt gentes et ideo commotae sunt
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
subito cecidit Babylon et contrita est ululate super eam tollite resinam ad dolorem eius si forte sanetur
9 We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
curavimus Babylonem et non est sanata derelinquamus eam et eamus unusquisque in terram suam quoniam pervenit usque ad caelos iudicium eius et elevatum est usque ad nubes
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
protulit Dominus iustitias nostras venite et narremus in Sion opus Domini Dei nostri
11 Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
acuite sagittas implete faretras suscitavit Dominus spiritum regum Medorum et contra Babylonem mens eius ut perdat eam quoniam ultio Domini est ultio templi sui
12 Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
super muros Babylonis levate signum augete custodiam levate custodes praeparate insidias quia cogitavit Dominus et fecit quaecumque locutus est contra habitatores Babylonis
13 Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
quae habitas super aquas multas locuples in thesauris venit finis tuus pedalis praecisionis tuae
14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
iuravit Dominus exercituum per animam suam quoniam replebo te hominibus quasi brucho et super te celeuma cantabitur
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
qui fecit terram in fortitudine sua praeparavit orbem in sapientia sua et prudentia sua extendit caelos
16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
dante eo vocem multiplicantur aquae in caelo qui levat nubes ab extremo terrae fulgura in pluviam fecit et produxit ventum de thesauris suis
17 Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
stultus factus est omnis homo ab scientia confusus est omnis conflator in sculptili quia mendax conflatio eius nec est spiritus in eis
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
vana sunt opera et risu digna in tempore visitationis suae peribunt
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
non sicut haec pars Iacob quia qui fecit omnia ipse est et Israhel sceptrum hereditatis eius Dominus exercituum nomen eius
20 Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
conlidis tu mihi vasa belli et ego conlidam in te gentes et disperdam in te regna
21 and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
et conlidam in te equum et equitem eius et conlidam in te currum et ascensorem eius
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
et conlidam in te virum et mulierem et conlidam in te senem et puerum et conlidam in te iuvenem et virginem
23 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
et conlidam in te pastorem et gregem eius et conlidam in te agricolam et iugales eius et conlidam in te duces et magistratus
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
et reddam Babyloni et cunctis habitatoribus Chaldeae omne malum suum quod fecerunt in Sion in oculis vestris ait Dominus
25 Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
ecce ego ad te mons pestifer ait Dominus qui corrumpis universam terram et extendam manum meam super te et evolvam te de petris et dabo te in montem conbustionis
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
et non tollent de te lapidem in angulum et lapidem in fundamenta sed perditus in aeternum eris ait Dominus
27 Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
levate signum in terra clangite bucina in gentibus sanctificate super eam gentes adnuntiate contra illam regibus Ararat Menni et Aschenez numerate contra eam Thapsar adducite equum quasi bruchum aculeatum
28 Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
sanctificate contra eam gentes reges Mediae duces eius et universos magistratus eius cunctamque terram potestatis eius
29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
et commovebitur terra et turbabitur quia evigilavit contra Babylonem cogitatio Domini ut ponat terram Babylonis desertam et inhabitabilem
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
cessaverunt fortes Babylonis a proelio habitaverunt in praesidiis devoratum est robur eorum et facti sunt quasi mulieres incensa sunt tabernacula eius contriti sunt vectes eius
31 Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
currens obviam currenti veniet et nuntius obvius nuntianti ut adnuntiet regi Babylonis quia capta est civitas eius a summo usque ad summum
32 and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
et vada praeoccupata sunt et paludes incensae sunt igni et viri bellatores conturbati sunt
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel filia Babylon quasi area tempus triturae eius adhuc modicum et veniet tempus messionis eius
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
comedit me devoravit me Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis reddidit me quasi vas inane absorbuit me sicut draco replevit ventrem suum teneritudine mea et eiecit me
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
iniquitas adversum me et caro mea super Babylonem dicit habitatio Sion et sanguis meus super habitatores Chaldeae dicit Hierusalem
36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
propterea haec dicit Dominus ecce ego iudicabo causam tuam et ulciscar ultionem tuam et desertum faciam mare eius et siccabo venam eius
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
et erit Babylon in tumulos habitatio draconum stupor et sibilus eo quod non sit habitator
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
simul ut leones rugient excutient comas velut catuli leonum
39 When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
in calore eorum ponam potus eorum et inebriabo eos ut sopiantur et dormiant somnum sempiternum et non consurgant dicit Dominus
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
deducam eos quasi agnos ad victimam quasi arietes cum hedis
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
quomodo capta est Sesach et conprehensa est inclita universae terrae quomodo facta est in stuporem Babylon inter gentes
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
ascendit super Babylonem mare multitudine fluctuum eius operta est
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
factae sunt civitates eius in stuporem terra inhabitabilis et deserta terra in qua nullus habitet nec transeat per eam filius hominis
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
et visitabo super Bel in Babylone et eiciam quod absorbuerat de ore eius et non confluent ad eum ultra gentes siquidem et murus Babylonis corruit
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
egredimini de medio eius populus meus ut salvet unusquisque animam suam ab ira furoris Domini
46 lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
et ne forte mollescat cor vestrum et timeatis auditum qui audietur in terra et veniet in anno auditio et post hunc annum auditio et iniquitas in terra et dominator super dominatorem
47 Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
propterea ecce dies veniunt et visitabo super sculptilia Babylonis et omnis terra eius confundetur et universi interfecti eius cadent in medio eius
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
et laudabunt super Babylonem caeli et terra et omnia quae in eis sunt quia ab aquilone venient ei praedones ait Dominus
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
et quomodo fecit Babylon ut caderent occisi in Israhel sic de Babylone cadent occisi in universa terra
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
qui fugistis gladium venite nolite stare recordamini procul Domini et Hierusalem ascendat super cor vestrum
51 — We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
confusi sumus quoniam audivimus obprobrium operuit ignominia facies nostras quia venerunt alieni super sanctificationem domus Domini
52 — Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
propterea ecce dies veniunt ait Dominus et visitabo super sculptilia eius et in omni terra eius mugiet vulneratus
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
si ascenderit Babylon in caelum et firmaverit in excelso robur suum a me venient vastatores eius ait Dominus
54 The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
vox clamoris de Babylone et contritio magna de terra Chaldeorum
55 for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
quoniam vastavit Dominus Babylonem et perdidit ex ea vocem magnam et sonabunt fluctus eorum quasi aquae multae dedit sonitum vox eorum
56 For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
quia venit super eam id est super Babylonem praedo et adprehensi sunt fortes eius et emarcuit arcus eorum quia fortis ultor Dominus reddens retribuet
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
et inebriabo principes eius et sapientes eius duces eius et magistratus eius et fortes eius et dormient somnum sempiternum et non expergiscentur ait Rex Dominus exercituum nomen eius
58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
haec dicit Dominus exercituum murus Babylonis ille latissimus suffossione suffodietur et portae eius excelsae igni conburentur et labores populorum ad nihilum et gentium in igne erunt et disperibunt
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
verbum quod praecepit Hieremias prophetes Saraiae filio Neriae filii Maasiae cum pergeret cum Sedecia rege in Babylonem in anno quarto regni eius Saraias autem erat princeps prophetiae
60 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
et scripsit Hieremias omne malum quod venturum erat super Babylonem in libro uno omnia verba haec quae scripta sunt contra Babylonem
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
et dixit Hieremias ad Saraiam cum veneris Babylonem et videris et legeris omnia verba haec
62 and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
dices Domine tu locutus es contra locum istum ut disperderes eum ne sit qui in eo habitet ab homine usque ad pecus et ut sit perpetua solitudo
63 And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
cumque conpleveris legere librum istum ligabis ad eum lapidem et proicies illum in medio Eufraten
64 and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
et dices sic submergetur Babylon et non consurget a facie adflictionis quam ego adduco super eam et dissolventur hucusque verba Hieremiae
