Jeremiah 16
1 The worde of the Lord came also vnto mee, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, nor haue sonnes nor daughters in this place.
Non accipies uxorem, et non erunt tibi filii, et filiae in loco isto.
3 For thus sayeth the Lord concerning the sonnes, and concerning the daughters that are borne in this place, and concerning their mothers that beare them, and concerning their fathers, that beget them in this land,
Quia haec dicit Dominus super filios et filias, qui generantur in loco isto, et super matres eorum, quae genuerunt eos: et super patres eorum, de quorum stirpe sunt nati in terra hac:
4 They shall die of deathes and diseases: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried, but they shalbe as dung vpon the earth, and they shalbe consumed by the sword, and by famine, and their carkeises shall be meate for the foules of the heauen, and for the beasts of the earth.
Mortibus aegrotationum morientur: non plangentur, et non sepelientur, in sterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt: et gladio, et fame consumentur: et erit cadaver eorum in escam volatilibus caeli, et bestiis terrae.
5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither goe to lament, nor be moued for the: for I haue taken my peace, from this people, saith the Lord, euen mercy and compassion.
Haec enim dicit Dominus: Ne ingrediaris domum convivii, neque vadas ad plangendum, neque consoleris eos: quia abstuli pacem meam a populo isto, dicit Dominus, misericordiam et miserationes.
6 Both the great, and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them nor cut themselues, nor make themselues balde for them.
Et morientur grandes, et parvi in terra ista: non sepelientur neque plangentur, et non se incident, neque calvitium fiet pro eis.
7 They shall not stretch out the hands for the in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shall they giue them the cup of consolation to drinke for their father or for their mother.
Et non frangent inter eos lugenti panem ad consolandum super mortuo: et non dabunt eis potum calicis ad consolandum super patre suo et matre.
8 Thou shalt not also goe into the house of feasting to sit with them to eate and to drinke.
Et domum convivii non ingrediaris, ut sedeas cum eis, et comedas et bibas:
9 For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, euen in your dayes the voyce of myrth, and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride.
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego auferam de loco isto in oculis vestris, et in diebus vestris vocem gaudii, et vocem laetitiae, vocem sponsi, et vocem sponsae.
10 And when thou shalt shewe this people all these wordes, and they shall say vnto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great plague against vs? or what is our iniquitie? and what is our sinne that we haue committed against the Lord our God?
Et cum annunciaveris populo huic omnia verba haec, et dixerint tibi: Quare locutus est Dominus super nos omne malum grande istud? quae iniquitas nostra? et quod peccatum nostrum, quod peccavimus Domino Deo nostro?
11 Then shalt thou say vnto them, Because your fathers haue forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and haue walked after other gods, and haue serued them, and worshipped them, and haue forsaken me, and haue not kept my Law,
Dices ad eos: Quia dereliquerunt me patres vestri, ait Dominus: et abierunt post deos alienos, et servierunt eis, et adoraverunt eos: et me dereliquerunt, et legem meam non custodierunt.
12 (And ye haue done worse then your fathers: for beholde, you walke euery one after the stubbernesse of his wicked heart, and will not heare me)
Sed et vos peius operati estis, quam patres vestri: ecce enim ambulat unusquisque post pravitatem cordis sui mali, ut me non audiat.
13 Therefore will I driue you out of this land into a lande that ye knowe not, neither you, nor your fathers, and there shall ye serue other gods day and night: for I will shew you no grace.
Et eiiciam vos de terra hac in terram, quam ignoratis vos, et patres vestri: et servietis ibi diis alienis die ac nocte, qui non dabunt vobis requiem.
14 Behold therfore, saith the Lord, the dayes come that it shall no more be sayde, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
Propterea ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus, et non dicetur ultra: Vivit Dominus, qui eduxit filios Israel de Terra Aegypti,
15 But the Lord liueth, that brought vp the children of Israel from the lande of the North, and from all the landes where hee had scattered them, and I wil bring them againe into their land that I gaue vnto their fathers.
sed, Vivit Dominus, qui eduxit filios Israel de Terra Aquilonis, et de universis terris, ad quas eieci eos: et reducam eos in terram suam, quam dedi patribus eorum.
16 Behold, sayth the Lord, I wil send out many fishers, and they shall fish them, and after, will I send out many hunters, and they shall hunt them from euery mountaine and from euery hill, and out of the caues of the rockes.
Ecce ego mittam piscatores multos dicit Dominus, et piscabuntur eos: et post haec mittam eis multos venatores, et venabuntur eos de omni monte, et de omni colle, et de cavernis petrarum.
17 For mine eyes are vpon al their wayes: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquitie hid from mine eyes.
Quia oculi mei super omnes vias eorum: non sunt absconditae a facie mea, et non fuit occultata iniquitas eorum ab oculis meis.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquitie and their sinne double, because they haue defiled my lande, and haue filled mine inheritance with their filthie carions and their abominations.
Et reddam primum duplices iniquitates, et peccata eorum: quia contaminaverunt terram meam in morticinis idolorum suorum, et abominationibus suis impleverunt hereditatem meam.
19 O Lord, thou art my force, and my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Gentiles shall come vnto thee from the ends of the world, and shall say, Surely our fathers haue inherited lies, and vanitie, wherein was no profite.
Domine fortitudo mea, et robur meum, et refugium meum in die tribulationis: ad te Gentes venient ab extremis terrae, et dicent: Vere mendacium possederunt patres nostri, vanitatem, quae eis non profuit.
20 Shall a man make gods vnto himselfe, and they are no gods?
Numquid faciet sibi homo deos, et ipsi non sunt dii?
21 Beholde, therefore I will this once teach them: I will shewe them mine hande and my power, and they shall know that my Name is the Lord.
Idcirco ecce ego ostendam eis per vicem hanc, ostendam eis manum meam, et virtutem meam: et scient quia nomen mihi Dominus.
