Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
verbum quod locutus est Dominus de Babylone et de terra Chaldeorum in manu Hieremiae prophetae
2 Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
adnuntiate in gentibus et auditum facite levate signum praedicate et nolite celare dicite capta est Babylon confusus est Bel victus est Marodach confusa sunt sculptilia eius superata sunt idola eorum
3 For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
quoniam ascendit contra eam gens ab aquilone quae ponet terram eius in solitudinem et non erit qui habitet in ea ab homine usque ad pecus et moti sunt et abierunt
4 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
in diebus illis et in tempore illo ait Dominus venient filii Israhel ipsi et filii Iuda simul ambulantes et flentes properabunt et Dominum Deum suum quaerent
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
in Sion interrogabunt viam huc facies eorum venient et adponentur ad Dominum foedere sempiterno quod nulla oblivione delebitur
6 My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
grex perditus factus est populus meus pastores eorum seduxerunt eos feceruntque vagari in montibus de monte in collem transierunt obliti sunt cubilis sui
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
omnes qui invenerunt comederunt eos et hostes eorum dixerunt non peccavimus pro eo quod peccaverunt Domino decori iustitiae et expectationi patrum eorum Domino
8 Remove out of the middle of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
recedite de medio Babylonis et de terra Chaldeorum egredimini et estote quasi hedi ante greges
9 For, see, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
quoniam ecce ego suscito et adducam in Babylonem congregationem gentium magnarum de terra aquilonis et praeparabuntur adversum eam et inde capietur sagitta eius quasi viri fortis interfectoris non revertetur vacua
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.
et erit Chaldea in praedam omnes vastantes eam replebuntur ait Dominus
11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
quoniam exultatis et magna loquimini diripientes hereditatem meam quoniam effusi estis sicut vitulus super herbam et mugistis ut tauri
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
confusa est mater vestra nimis et adaequata pulveri quae genuit vos ecce novissima erit in gentibus deserta invia et arens
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
ab ira Domini non habitabitur sed redigetur tota in solitudinem omnis qui transit per Babylonem stupebit et sibilabit super universis plagis eius
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
praeparamini contra Babylonem per circuitum omnes qui intenditis arcum debellate eam non parcatis iaculis quia Domino peccavit
15 Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
clamate adversus eam ubique dedit manum ceciderunt fundamenta eius destructi sunt muri eius quoniam ultio Domini est ultionem accipite de ea sicut fecit facite ei
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
disperdite satorem de Babylone et tenentem falcem in tempore messis a facie gladii columbae unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur et singuli ad terram suam fugient
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
grex dispersus Israhel leones eiecerunt eum primus comedit eum rex Assur iste novissimus exossavit eum Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis
18 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego visitabo regem Babylonis et terram eius sicut visitavi regem Assur
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on mount Ephraim and Gilead.
et reducam Israhel ad habitaculum suum et pascetur Carmelum et Basan et in monte Ephraim et Galaad saturabitur anima eius
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
in diebus illis et in tempore illo ait Dominus quaeretur iniquitas Israhel et non erit et peccatum Iuda et non invenietur quoniam propitius ero eis quos reliquero
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.
super terram dominantium ascende et super habitatores eius visita dissipa et interfice quae post eos sunt ait Dominus et fac iuxta omnia quae praecepi tibi
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
vox belli in terra et contritio magna
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
quomodo confractus est et contritus est malleus universae terrae quomodo versa est in desertum Babylon in gentibus
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.
inlaqueavi te et capta es Babylon et nesciebas inventa es et adprehensa quoniam Dominum provocasti
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
aperuit Dominus thesaurum suum et protulit vasa irae suae quoniam opus est Domino Deo exercituum in terra Chaldeorum
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
venite ad eam ab extremis finibus aperite ut exeant qui conculcent eam tollite de via lapides et redigite in acervos et interficite eam nec sit quicquam reliquum
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
dissipate universos fortes eius descendant in occisionem vae eis quia venit dies eorum tempus visitationis eorum
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
vox fugientium et eorum qui evaserunt de terra Babylonis ut adnuntient in Sion ultionem Domini Dei nostri ultionem templi eius
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
adnuntiate in Babylonem plurimis omnibus qui tendunt arcum consistite adversum eam per gyrum et nullus evadat reddite ei secundum opus suum iuxta omnia quae fecit facite illi quia contra Dominum erecta est adversum Sanctum Israhel
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
idcirco cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius et omnes viri bellatores eius conticescent in die illa ait Dominus
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the Lord GOD of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.
ecce ego ad te superbe dicit Dominus Deus exercituum quia venit dies tuus tempus visitationis tuae
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
et cadet superbus et corruet et non erit qui suscitet eum et succendam ignem in urbibus eius et devorabit omnia in circuitu eius
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
haec dicit Dominus exercituum calumniam sustinent filii Israhel et filii Iuda simul omnes qui ceperunt eos tenent nolunt dimittere eos
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
redemptor eorum Fortis Dominus exercituum nomen eius iudicio defendet causam eorum ut exterreat terram et commoveat habitatores Babylonis
35 A sword is on the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.
gladius ad Chaldeos ait Dominus et ad habitatores Babylonis et ad principes et ad sapientes eius
36 A sword is on the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is on her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
gladius ad divinos eius qui stulti erunt gladius ad fortes illius qui timebunt
37 A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people that are in the middle of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
gladius ad equos eius et ad currus eius et ad omne vulgus quod est in medio eius et erunt quasi mulieres gladius ad thesauros eius qui diripientur
38 A drought is on her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad on their idols.
siccitas super aquas eius erit et arescent quia terra sculptilium est et in portentis gloriantur
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation.
propterea habitabunt dracones cum fatuis ficariis et habitabunt in ea strutiones et non habitabitur ultra usque ad sempiternum nec extruetur usque ad generationem et generationem
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram et vicinas eius ait Dominus non habitabit ibi vir nec incolet eam filius hominis
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
ecce populus venit ab aquilone et gens magna et reges multi consurgent a finibus terrae
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride on horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
arcum et scutum adprehendent crudeles sunt et inmisericordes vox eorum quasi mare sonabit et super equos ascendent sicut vir paratus ad proelium contra te filia Babylon
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
audivit rex Babylonis famam eorum et dissolutae sunt manus eius angustia adprehendit eum dolor quasi parturientem
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
ecce quasi leo ascendet de superbia Iordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam quia subito currere eum faciam ad illam et quis erit electus quem praeponam ei quis enim similis mei et quis sustinebit me et quis est iste pastor qui resistat vultui meo
45 Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
propterea audite consilium Domini quod mente concepit adversum Babylonem et cogitationes eius quas cogitavit super terram Chaldeorum nisi detraxerint eos parvuli gregum nisi dissipatum fuerit cum ipsis habitaculum eorum
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
a voce captivitatis Babylonis commota est terra et clamor inter gentes auditus est
