< Jeremiah 43 >

1 After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
Factum est autem, cum complesset Ieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum, pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos, omnia verba hæc:
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
dixit Azarias filius Osaiæ, et Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes viri superbi, dicentes ad Ieremiam: Mendacium tu loqueris: non misit te Dominus Deus noster, dicens: Ne ingrediamini Ægyptum ut habitetis illuc.
3 No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
Sed Baruch filius Neriæ incitat te adversum nos, ut tradat nos in manus Chaldæorum, ut interficiat nos, et traduci faciat in Babylonem.
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
Et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, et universus populus vocem Domini ut manerent in Terra Iuda.
5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
Sed tollens Iohanan filius Caree, et universi principes bellatorum universos reliquiarum Iuda, qui reversi fuerant de cunctis gentibus, ad quas fuerant ante dispersi, ut habitarent in Terra Iuda:
6 These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
viros, et mulieres, et parvulos, et filias regis, et omnem animam, quam reliquerat Nabuzardan princeps militiæ cum Godolia filio Ahicam, filii Saphan, et Ieremiam prophetam, et Baruch filium Neriæ.
7 They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
Et ingressi sunt Terram Ægypti, quia non obedierunt voci Domini: et venerunt usque ad Taphnis.
8 A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Ieremiam in Taphnis, dicens:
9 As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
Sume lapides grandes in manu tua, et abscondes eos in crypta, quæ est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Taphnis, cernentibus viris Iudæis:
10 Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego mittam, et assumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos, quos abscondi, et statuet solium suum super eos.
11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
Veniensque percutiet Terram Ægypti: quos in mortem, in mortem: et quos in captivitatem, in captivitatem: et quos in gladium, in gladium.
12 I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
Et succendet ignem in delubris deorum Ægypti, et comburet ea, et captivos ducet illos: et amicietur Terra Ægypti, sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo: et egredietur inde in pace.
13 He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
Et conteret statuas domus Solis, quæ sunt in Terra Ægypti: et delubra deorum Ægypti comburet igni.
