Jeremiah 11
1 The worde that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est a Domino ad Ieremiam, dicens:
2 Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem,
Audite verba pacti huius, et loquimini ad viros Iuda, et ad habitatores Ierusalem,
3 And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the wordes of this couenant,
et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Maledictus vir, qui non audierit verba pacti huius,
4 Which I commanded vnto your fathers, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe according to all these things, which I commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God,
quod præcepi patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Ægypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens: Audite vocem meam, et facite omnia, quæ præcipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum:
5 That I may confirme the othe, that I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande, which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth this day. Then answered I and sayde, So be it, O Lord.
ut suscitem iuramentum, quod iuravi patribus vestris daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte, et melle, sicut est dies hæc. Et respondi, et dixi: Amen Domine.
6 Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant, and doe them.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Vociferare omnia verba hæc in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, dicens: Audite verba pacti huius, et facite illa:
7 For I haue protested vnto your fathers, whe I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voyce.
quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Ægypti usque ad diem hanc: mane consurgens contestatus sum, et dixi: Audite vocem meam:
8 Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse of his wicked heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the wordes of this couenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did it not.
et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed abierunt unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali: et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti huius, quod præcepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.
9 And the Lord sayd vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Inventa est coniuratio in viris Iuda, et in habitatoribus Ierusalem.
10 They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: thus the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my couenant, which I made with their fathers.
Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores, qui noluerunt audire verba mea: et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, ut servirent eis: irritum fecerunt domus Israel, et domus Iuda pactum meum, quod pepigi cum patribus eorum.
11 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto me, I will not heare them.
Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego inducam super eos mala, de quibus exire non poterunt: et clamabunt ad me, et non exaudiam eos.
12 Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their trouble.
Et ibunt civitates Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem, et clamabunt ad deos, quibus libant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense vnto Baal.
Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui Iuda: et secundum numerum viarum Ierusalem posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.
14 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will not heare them.
Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc, et ne assumas pro eis laudem et orationem: quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in tempore afflictionis eorum.
15 What shoulde my beloued tarie in mine house, seeing they haue committed abomination with manie? and the holy flesh goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou reioycest.
Quid est, quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa? Numquid carnes sanctæ auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus gloriata es?
16 The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with noyse and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructiferam, speciosam vocavit Dominus nomen tuum: ad vocem loquelæ, grandis exarsit ignis in ea, et combusta sunt fruteta eius.
17 For the Lord of hostes that planted thee, hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues to prouoke me to anger in offering incense vnto Baal.
Et Dominus exercituum qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum: pro malis domus Israel et domus Iuda, quæ fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me, libantes Baalim.
18 And the Lord hath taught me, and I knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee their practises.
Tu autem Domine demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi: tunc ostendisti mihi studia eorum.
19 But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name may be no more in memory.
Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam: et non cognovi quia cogitaverunt super me consilia, dicentes: Mittamus lignum in panem eius, et eradamus eum de terra viventium, et nomen eius non memoretur amplius.
20 But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously, and triest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
Tu autem Domine Sabaoth, qui iudicas iuste, et probas renes et corda, videam ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 The Lord therefore speaketh thus of the men of Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say, Prophecie not in the Name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hands)
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth, qui quærunt animam tuam, et dicunt: Non prophetabis in nomine Domini, et non morieris in manibus nostris.
22 Thus therefore sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters shall die by famine,
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego visitabo super eos: iuvenes morientur in gladio, filii eorum, et filiæ eorum morientur in fame.
23 And none of them shall remaine: for I will bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen the yeere of their visitation.
Et reliquiæ non erunt ex eis: inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth, annum visitationis eorum.
