Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est a Domino ad Ieremiam, dicens:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Audite verba pacti huius, et loquimini ad viros Iuda, et ad habitatores Ierusalem,
3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Maledictus vir, qui non audierit verba pacti huius,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your Elohim:
quod praecepi patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens: Audite vocem meam, et facite omnia, quae praecipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum:
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O YHWH.
ut suscitem iuramentum, quod iuravi patribus vestris daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte, et melle, sicut est dies haec. Et respondi, et dixi: Amen Domine.
6 Then YHWH said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Vociferare omnia verba haec in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, dicens: Audite verba pacti huius, et facite illa:
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc: mane consurgens contestatus sum, et dixi: Audite vocem meam:
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed abierunt unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali: et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti huius, quod praecepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.
9 And YHWH said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Inventa est coniuratio in viris Iuda, et in habitatoribus Ierusalem.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other elohim to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores, qui noluerunt audire verba mea: et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, ut servirent eis: irritum fecerunt domus Israel, et domus Iuda pactum meum, quod pepigi cum patribus eorum.
11 Therefore thus saith YHWH, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego inducam super eos mala, de quibus exire non poterunt: et clamabunt ad me, et non exaudiam eos.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the elohim unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Et ibunt civitates Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem, et clamabunt ad eos, quibus libant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy elohim, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui Iuda: et secundum numerum viarum Ierusalem posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc, et ne assumas pro eis laudem et orationem: quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in tempore afflictionis eorum.
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
Quid est, quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa? numquid carnes sanctae auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus gloriata es?
16 YHWH called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructiferam, speciosam vocavit Dominus nomen tuum: ad vocem loquelae, grandis exarsit ignis in ea, et combusta sunt fruteta eius.
17 For YHWH of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
Et Dominus exercituum qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum: pro malis domus Israel et domus Iuda, quae fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me, libantes Baalim.
18 And YHWH hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Tu autem Domine demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi: tu ostendisti mihi studia eorum.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam: et non cognovi quia cogitaverunt super me consilia, dicentes: Mittamus lignum in panem eius, et eradamus eum de terra viventium, et nomen eius non memoretur amplius.
20 But, O YHWH of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
Tu autem Domine Sabaoth, qui iudicas iuste, et probas renes et corda, videam ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 Therefore thus saith YHWH of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of YHWH, that thou die not by our hand:
Propterea haec dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth, qui quaerunt animam tuam, et dicunt: Non prophetabis in nomine Domini, et non morieris in manibus nostris.
22 Therefore thus saith YHWH of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego visitabo super eos: iuvenes morientur in gladio, filii eorum, et filiae eorum morientur in fame.
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Et reliquiae non erunt ex eis: inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth, annum visitationis eorum.
