Jeremiah 13
1 Thus sayth the Lord vnto mee, Goe, and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it vpon thy loynes, and put it not in water.
haec dicit Dominus ad me vade et posside tibi lumbare lineum et pones illud super lumbos tuos et in aquam non inferes illud
2 So I bought the girdle according to the commandement of the Lord, and put it vpon my loynes.
et possedi lumbare iuxta verbum Domini et posui circa lumbos meos
3 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me secundo dicens
4 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is vpon thy loynes, and arise, goe towarde Perath, and hide it there in the cleft of the rocke.
tolle lumbare quod possedisti quod est circa lumbos tuos et surgens vade ad Eufraten et absconde illud ibi in foramine petrae
5 So I went, and hid it by Perath, as the Lord had commanded me.
et abii et abscondi illud in Eufraten sicut praeceperat mihi Dominus
6 And after many dayes, the Lord sayde vnto mee, Arise, goe towarde Perath, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
et factum est post dies plurimos dixit Dominus ad me surge vade ad Eufraten et tolle inde lumbare quod praecepi tibi ut absconderes illud ibi
7 Then went I to Perath, and digged, and tooke the girdle from the place where I had hid it, and behold, the girdle was corrupt, and was profitable for nothing.
et abii ad Eufraten et fodi et tuli lumbare de loco ubi absconderam illud et ecce conputruerat lumbare ita ut nullo usui aptum esset
8 Then the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
9 Thus sayth the Lord, After this maner will I destroy the pride of Iudah, and the great pride of Ierusalem.
haec dicit Dominus sic putrescere faciam superbiam Iuda et superbiam Hierusalem multam
10 This wicked people haue refused to heare my word, and walke after ye stubbernesse of their owne heart, and walke after other gods to serue them, and to worship them: therefore they shalbe as this girdle, which is profitable to nothing.
populum istum pessimum qui nolunt audire verba mea et ambulant in pravitate cordis sui abieruntque post deos alienos ut servirent eis et adorarent eos et erunt sicut lumbare istud quod nullo usui aptum est
11 For as the girdle cleaueth to the loynes of a man, so haue I tied to me the whole house of Israel, and the whole house of Iudah, saith the Lord, that they might bee my people: that they might haue a name and prayse, and glory, but they would not heare.
sicut enim adheret lumbare ad lumbos viri sic adglutinavi mihi omnem domum Israhel et omnem domum Iuda dicit Dominus ut esset mihi in populum et in nomen et in laudem et in gloriam et non audierunt
12 Therefore thou shalt saye vnto them this word, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Euery bottell shalbe filled with wine, and they shall say vnto thee, Doe we not knowe that euery bottell shalbe filled with wine?
dices ergo ad eos sermonem istum haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel omnis laguncula implebitur vino et dicent ad te numquid ignoramus quia omnis laguncula implebitur vino
13 Then shalt thou say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, euen the Kings that sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and the Priestes and the Prophets and all the inhabitantes of Ierusalem with drunkennesse.
et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus ecce ego implebo omnes habitatores terrae huius et reges qui sedent de stirpe David super thronum eius et sacerdotes et prophetas et omnes habitatores Hierusalem ebrietate
14 And I wil dash them one against another, euen the fathers and the sonnes together, sayeth the Lord: I will not spare, I will not pitie nor haue compassion, but destroy them.
et dispergam eos virum a fratre suo et patres et filios pariter ait Dominus non parcam et non concedam neque miserebor ut non disperdam eos
15 Heare and giue eare, be not proude: for the Lord hath spoken it.
audite et auribus percipite nolite elevari quia Dominus locutus est
16 Giue glory to the Lord your God before he bring darknes, and or euer your feete stumble in the darke mountaines, and whiles you look for light, he turne it into the shadowe of death and make it as darkenesse.
date Domino Deo vestro gloriam antequam contenebrescat et antequam offendant pedes vestri ad montes caligosos expectabitis lucem et ponet eam in umbram mortis et in caliginem
17 But if ye will not heare this, my soule shall weepe in secrete for your pride, and mine eye shall weepe and drop downe teares, because the Lords flocke is caried away captiue.
quod si hoc non audieritis in abscondito plorabit anima mea a facie superbiae plorans plorabit et deducet oculus meus lacrimam quia captus est grex Domini
18 Say vnto the King and to the Queene, Humble yourselues, sit downe, for the crowne of your glory shall come downe from your heads.
dic regi et dominatrici humiliamini sedete quoniam descendit de capite vestro corona gloriae vestrae
19 The cities of the South shall be shut vp, and no man shall open them: all Iudah shall be caried away captiue: it shall be wholy caried away captiue.
civitates austri clausae sunt et non est qui aperiat translata est omnis Iudaea transmigratione perfecta
20 Lift vp your eyes and beholde them that come from the North: where is the flocke that was giuen thee, euen thy beautifull flocke?
levate oculos vestros et videte qui venitis ab aquilone ubi est grex qui datus est tibi pecus inclitum tuum
21 What wilt thou saye, when hee shall visite thee? (for thou hast taught them to be captaines and as chiefe ouer thee) shall not sorow take thee as a woman in trauaile?
quid dices cum visitaverit te tu enim docuisti eos adversum te et erudisti in caput tuum numquid non dolores adprehendent te quasi mulierem parturientem
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things vpon me? For the multitude of thine iniquities are thy skirts discouered and thy heeles made bare.
quod si dixeris in corde tuo quare venerunt mihi haec propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae revelata sunt verecundiora tua pollutae sunt plantae tuae
23 Can the blacke More change his skin? or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do euill.
si mutare potest Aethiops pellem suam aut pardus varietates suas et vos poteritis bene facere cum didiceritis malum
24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that is taken away with the South winde.
et disseminabo eos quasi stipulam quae vento raptatur in deserto
25 This is thy portion, and ye part of thy measures from me, sayth the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me and trusted in lyes.
haec sors tua parsque mensurae tuae a me dicit Dominus quia oblita es mei et confisa es in mendacio
26 Therefore I haue also discouered thy skirts vpon thy face, that thy shame may appeare.
unde et ego nudavi femora tua contra faciem tuam et apparuit ignominia tua
27 I haue seene thine adulteries, and thy neiings, the filthinesse of thy whoredome on the hils in the fieldes, and thine abominations. Wo vnto thee, O Ierusalem: wilt thou not bee made cleane? when shall it once be?
adulteria tua et hinnitus tuus scelus fornicationis tuae super colles in agro vidi abominationes tuas vae tibi Hierusalem non mundaberis post me usquequo adhuc
