Jeremiah 19

1 Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,

Haec dicit Dominus: Vade, et accipe lagunculam figuli testeam a senioribus populi, et a senioribus sacerdotum:

2 And goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall tell thee,

Et egredere ad vallem filii Ennom, quae est iuxta introitum portae fictilis: et praedicabis ibi verba, quae ego loquar ad te.

3 And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares shall tingle.

Et dices: Audite verbum Domini reges Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem: haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam afflictionem super locum istum, ita ut omnis, qui audierit illam, tinniant aures eius:

4 Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also with the blood of innocents,

Eo quod dereliquerint me, et alienum fecerint locum istum: et libaverunt in eo diis alienis, quos nescierunt ipsi, et patres eorum, et reges Iuda: et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentum.

5 And they haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)

Et aedificaverunt excelsa Baalim ad comburendos filios suos igni in holocaustum Baalim: quae non praecepi, nec locutus sum, nec ascenderunt in cor meum.

6 Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.

Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et non vocabitur amplius locus iste, Topheth, et Vallis filii Ennom, sed Vallis occisionis.

7 And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.

Et dissipabo consilium Iuda et Ierusalem in loco isto: et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorum, et in manu quaerentium animas eorum: et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibus caeli, et bestiis terrae.

8 And I will make this citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye plagues thereof.

Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem, et in sibilum: omnis, qui praeterierit per eam, obstupescet, et sibilabit super universa plaga eius.

9 And I will feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.

Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum, et carnibus filiarum suarum: et unusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione, et in angustia, in qua concludent eos inimici eorum, et qui quaerunt animas eorum.

10 Then shalt thou breake the bottell in the sight of the men that go with thee,

Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum, qui ibunt tecum.

11 And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.

Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sic conteram populum istum et civitatem istam, sicut conteritur vas figuli, quod non potest ultra instaurari: et in Topheth sepelientur, eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum.

12 Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like Topheth.

Sic faciam loco huic, ait Dominus, et habitatoribus eius: et ponam civitatem istam sicut Topheth.

13 For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto other gods.

Et erunt domus Ierusalem, et domus regum Iuda sicut locus Topheth, immundae: omnes domus, in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiae caeli, et libaverunt libamina diis alienis.

14 Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all the people,

Venit autem Ieremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, et stetit in atrio domus Domini, et dixit ad omnem populum:

15 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.

Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc, et super omnes urbes eius universa mala, quae locutus sum adversum eam: quoniam induraverunt cervicem suam ut non audirent sermones meos.
