Jeremiah 44
1 The worde that came to Ieremiah concerning all the Iewes, which dwell in the lande of Egypt, and remained at Migdol and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the coutry of Pathros, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est per Ieremiam ad omnes Iudaeos, qui habitabant in Terra Aegypti, habitantes in Magdalo, et in Taphnis, et in Memphis, et in Terra Phatures, dicens:
2 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Yee haue seene all the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, and vpon all the cities of Iudah: and beholde, this day they are desolate, and no man dwelleth therein,
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vos vidistis omne malum istud, quod adduxi super Ierusalem, et super omnes urbes Iuda: et ecce desertae sunt hodie, et non est in eis habitator:
3 Because of their wickednes which they haue comitted, to prouoke me to anger in that they went to burne incense, and to serue other gods, who they knew not, neither they nor you nor your fathers.
Propter malitiam, quam fecerunt ut me ad iracundiam provocarent, et irent ut sacrificarent, et colerent deos alienos, quos nesciebant et illi, et vos, et patres vestri.
4 Howbeit I sent vnto you all my seruats the Prophets rising earely, and sending them, saying, Oh doe not this abominable thing that I hate.
Et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas de nocte consurgens, mittensque et dicens: Nolite facere verbum abominationis huiuscemodi, quam odivi.
5 But they would not heare nor incline their eare to turne from their wickednes, and to burne no more incense vnto other gods.
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam ut converterentur a malis suis, et non sacrificarent diis alienis.
6 Wherefore my wrath, and mine anger was powred foorth and was kindled in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, and they are desolate, and wasted, as appeareth this day.
Et conflata est indignatio mea et furor meus, et succensa est in civitatibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem: et versae sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc.
7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Wherfore commit ye this great euill against your soules, to cut off from you man and woman, childe and suckling out of Iudah, and leaue you none to remaine?
Et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Quare vos facitis malum grande hoc contra animas vestras, ut intereat ex vobis vir et mulier, parvulus et lactens de medio Iuda, nec relinquatur vobis quidquam residuum:
8 In that yee prouoke mee vnto wrath with the woorkes of your hands, burning incense vnto other Gods in the lande of Egypt whither yee be gone to dwell: that yee might bring destruction vnto your selues, and that ye might be a curse and a reproch among all nations of the earth.
Provocantes me in operibus manuum vestrarum, sacrificando diis alienis in Terra Aegypti, in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi: et dispereatis, et sitis in maledictionem, et in opprobrium cunctis gentibus terrae?
9 Haue yee forgotten the wickednes of your fathers, and the wickednesse of the Kings of Iudah and the wickednesse of their wiues and your owne wickednes and the wickednes of your wiues, which they haue committed in the land of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
Numquid obliti estis mala patrum vestrorum, et mala regum Iuda, et mala uxorum eius, et mala vestra, et mala uxorum vestrarum, quae fecerunt in Terra Iuda, et in regionibus Ierusalem?
10 They are not humbled vnto this day, neither haue they feared nor walked in my lawe nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Non sunt mundati usque ad diem hanc: et non timuerunt, et non ambulaverunt in lege Domini, et in praeceptis meis, quae dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris.
11 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will set my face against you to euill and to destroy all Iudah,
Ideo haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego ponam faciem meam in vobis in malum: et disperdam omnem Iuda.
12 And I will take the remnant of Iudah, that haue set their faces to goe into the lande of Egypt there to dwell, and they shall all bee consumed and fall in the lande of Egypt: they shall euen bee consumed by the sworde and by the famine: they shall die from the least vnto the most, by the sworde, and by the famine, and they shall be a detestation and an astonishment and a curse and a reproche.
Et assumam reliquias Iuda, qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur Terram Aegypti, et habitarent ibi: et consumentur omnes in Terra Aegypti: cadent in gladio et in fame: et consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum in gladio, et in fame morientur: et erunt in iusiurandum, et in miraculum, et in maledictionem, et in opprobrium.
13 For I will visite them that dwel in the land of Egypt, as I haue visited Ierusalem, by ye sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence,
Et visitabo super habitatores Terrae Aegypti, sicut visitavi super Ierusalem in gladio, et fame, et peste.
14 So that none of the remnant of Iudah, which are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall escape or remaine, that they shoulde returne into the land of Iudah to the which they haue a desire to returne to dwell there: for none shall returne, but such as shall escape.
Et non erit qui effugiat, et sit residuus de reliquiis Iudaeorum, qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in Terra Aegypti: et revertantur in Terram Iuda, ad quam ipsi elevant animas suas ut revertantur, et habitent ibi: non revertentur nisi qui fugerint.
15 Then all the men which knewe that their wiues had burnt incense vnto other gods and all the women that stoode by, a great multitude, euen all the people that dwelt in the lande of Egypt in Pathros, answered Ieremiah, saying,
Responderunt autem Ieremiae omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis: et universae mulieres, quarum stabat multitudo grandis, et omnis populus habitantium in Terra Aegypti in Phatures, dicentes:
16 The worde that thou hast spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord, wee will not heare it of thee,
Sermonem, quem locutus es ad nos in nomine Domini, non audiemus ex te:
17 But wee will doe whatsoeuer thing goeth out of our owne mouth, as to burne incense vnto the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, as we haue done, both we and our fathers, our Kings and our princes in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem: for then had wee plentie of vitailes and were well and felt none euill.
sed facientes faciemus omne verbum, quod egredietur de ore nostro ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina, sicut fecimus nos, et patres nostri, reges nostri, et principes nostri in urbibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem: et saturati sumus panibus, et bene nobis erat, malumque non vidimus.
18 But since wee left off to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, we haue had scarcenesse of all things, and haue beene consumed by the sworde and by the famine.
Ex eo autem tempore, quo cessavimus sacrificare reginae caeli, et libare ei libamina, indigemus omnibus, et gladio, et fame consumpti sumus.
19 And when we burnt incense to ye Queene of heauen, and powred out drinke offerings vnto her, did wee make her cakes to make her glad, and powre out drinke offerings vnto her without our husbands?
Quod si nos sacrificamus reginae caeli, et libamus ei libamina: numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam, et libandum ei libamina?
20 Then said Ieremiah vnto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had giuen him that answere, saying,
Et dixit Ieremias ad omnem populum adversum viros, et adversum mulieres, et adversum universam plebem, qui responderant ei verbum, dicens:
21 Did not the Lord remember the incense, that yee burnt in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, both you, and your fathers, your Kinges, and your princes, and the people of the land, and hath he not considered it?
Numquid non sacrificium, quod sacrificastis in civitatibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem vos et patres vestri, reges vestri, et principes vestri, et populus terrae, horum recordatus est Dominus, et ascendit super cor eius?
22 So that the Lord could no longer forbeare, because of the wickednes of your inuentions, and because of the abominations, which ye haue committed: therefore is your lande desolate and an astonishment, and a curse and without inhabitant, as appeareth this day.
Et non poterat Dominus ultra portare propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum, et propter abominationes, quas fecistis, et facta est terra vestra in desolationem, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, eo quod non sit habitator, sicut est dies haec.
23 Because ye haue burnt incense and because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, nor walked in his Lawe, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore this plague is come vpon you, as appeareth this day.
Propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis, et peccaveritis Domino: et non audieritis vocem Domini, et in lege, et in praeceptis, et in testimoniis eius non ambulaveritis: idcirco evenerunt vobis mala haec, sicut est dies haec.
24 Moreouer Ieremiah saide vnto all the people and to all the women, Heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that are in the land of Egypt.
Dixit autem Ieremias ad omnem populum, et ad universas mulieres: Audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda, qui estis in Terra Aegypti:
25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wiues haue both spoken with your mouthes, and fulfilled with your hande, saying, We will performe our vowes that we haue vowed to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings to her: yee will perfourme your vowes and doe the things that yee haue vowed.
Haec inquit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, dicens: Vos, et uxores vestrae locuti estis ore vestro, et manibus vestris implestis, dicentes: Faciamus vota nostra, quae vovimus, ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina. implestis vota vestra, et opere perpetrastis ea.
26 Therefore heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that dwel in the land of Egypt. Beholde, I haue sworne by my great Name, sayeth the Lord, that my Name shall no more be called vpon by the mouth of any man of Iudah, in all the lande of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liueth.
Ideo audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda, qui habitatis in Terra Aegypti: Ecce ego iuravi in nomine meo magno, ait Dominus: quia nequaquam ultra vocabitur nomen meum ex ore omnis viri Iudaei, dicentis: Vivit Dominus Deus in omni Terra Aegypti.
27 Behold, I wil watch ouer them for euil and not for good, and all men of Iudah that are in the land of Egypt, shalbe consumed by the sword, and by the famine, vntill they be vtterly destroied.
Ecce ego vigilabo super eos in malum, et non in bonum: et consumentur omnes viri Iuda, qui sunt in Terra Aegypti, gladio, et fame donec penitus consumantur.
28 Yet a small nomber that escape the sworde, shall returne out of the lande of Egypt into the lande of Iudah: and all the remnant of Iudah that are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words shall stad, mine or theirs.
Et qui fugerint gladium, revertentur de Terra Aegypti in Terram Iuda viri pauci: et scient omnes reliquiae Iuda ingredientium Terram Aegypti, ut habitent ibi, cuius sermo compleatur, meus, an illorum.
29 And this shall be a signe vnto you, saith the Lord, whe I visit you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for euill.
Et hoc vobis signum, ait Dominus, quod visitem ego super vos in loco isto: ut sciatis quia vere complebuntur sermones mei contra vos in malum.
30 Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue Pharaoh Hophra King of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seeke his life: as I gaue Zedekiah King of Iudah into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel his enemie, who also sought his life.
Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Ephree regem Aegypti in manu inimicorum eius, et in manu quaerentium animam illius: sicut tradidi Sedechiam regem Iuda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui, et quaerentis animam eius.
