Jeremiah 25
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam de omni populo Iudae in anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis
2 So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
quae locutus est Hieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda et ad universos habitatores Hierusalem dicens
3 From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
a tertiodecimo anno Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda usque ad diem hanc iste est tertius et vicesimus annus factum est verbum Domini ad me et locutus sum ad vos de nocte consurgens et loquens et non audistis
4 Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas consurgens diluculo mittensque et non audistis neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis
5 The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
cum diceret revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris et habitabitis in terram quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris a saeculo et usque in saeculum
6 Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis adoretisque eos neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum et non adfligam vos
7 But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
et non audistis me dicit Dominus ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum
8 So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum pro eo quod non audistis verba mea
9 watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
ecce ego mittam et adsumam universas cognationes aquilonis ait Dominus et ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum et adducam eos super terram istam et super habitatores eius et super omnes nationes quae in circuitu illius sunt et interficiam eos et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum et in solitudines sempiternas
10 I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae vocem sponsae et vocem sponsi vocem molae et lumen lucernae
11 This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
et erit universa terra eius in solitudinem et in stuporem et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonis septuaginta annis
12 However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
cumque impleti fuerint anni septuaginta visitabo super regem Babylonis et super gentem illam dicit Dominus iniquitatem eorum et super terram Chaldeorum et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas
13 I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
et adducam super terram illam omnia verba mea quae locutus sum contra eam omne quod scriptum est in libro isto quaecumque prophetavit Hieremias adversum omnes gentes
14 Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multae et reges magni et reddam eis secundum opera eorum et secundum facta manuum suarum
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sume calicem vini furoris huius de manu mea et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te
16 They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
et bibent et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos
17 I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
et accepi calicem de manu Domini et propinavi cunctis gentibus ad quas misit me Dominus
18 To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
Hierusalem et civitatibus Iudae et regibus eius et principibus eius ut darem eos in solitudinem et in stuporem in sibilum et in maledictionem sicut est dies ista
19 to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
Pharaoni regi Aegypti et servis eius et principibus eius et omni populo eius
20 and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
et universis generaliter cunctis regibus terrae Ausitidis et cunctis regibus terrae Philisthim et Ascaloni et Gazae et Accaroni et reliquiis Azoti
21 to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
Idumeae et Moab et filiis Ammon
22 to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
et cunctis regibus Tyri et cunctis regibus Sidonis et regibus terrae insularum qui sunt trans mare
23 to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
et Dedan et Theman et Buz et universis qui adtonsi sunt in comam
24 to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
et cunctis regibus Arabiae et cunctis regibus occidentis qui habitant in deserto
25 to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
et cunctis regibus Zambri et cunctis regibus Aelam et cunctis regibus Medorum
26 to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
et cunctis regibus aquilonis de prope et de longe unicuique contra fratrem suum et omnibus regnis terrae quae super faciem eius sunt et rex Sesach bibet post eos
27 Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel bibite et inebriamini et vomite et cadite neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos
28 If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu ut bibant dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum bibentes bibetis
29 Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
quia ecce in civitate in qua invocatum est nomen meum ego incipio adfligere et vos quasi innocentes inmunes eritis non eritis inmunes gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terrae dicit Dominus exercituum
30 Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba haec 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 terrae
31 The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus iudicatur ipse cum omni carne impios tradidit gladio dicit Dominus
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce adflictio egredietur de gente in gentem et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terrae
33 Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terrae usque ad summum eius non plangentur et non colligentur neque sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae iacebunt
34 Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
ululate pastores et clamate et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis quia conpleti sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini et dissipationes vestrae et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa
35 The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
et peribit fuga a pastoribus et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis
36 Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
vox clamoris pastorum et ululatus optimatium gregis quia vastavit Dominus pascuam eorum
37 The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini
38 The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie irae columbae et a facie irae furoris Domini
